Went for the Magic the Gathering Lorwyn Eclipsed prerelease. Nice ambience, good turnout (around 30 players), & excellent prize support, two booster packs per win, which is better than most competitors & keeps people playing until the end.

The downside is the food/bar service happening right next to active gameplay. I usually avoid eating there for that reason, but I took a chance tonight & ordered a burger instead of eating elsewhere. That decision unfortunately resulted in a server dropping mayonnaise all over my expensive bag I had just received for Christmas. While the waiter did his best to clean it, the bag is still stained, less than a month after the holidays.

Thankfully my cards were safe, but the experience makes me hesitant to return. Good event structure, but the food-&-cards mix is risky if you care about your belongings.

10/10 business, a must-visit for any Wargaming enthusiast!

Abyss has cemented itself as the go go game store, boardgame bar & wargaming center for anyone looking to play a tabletop RPG. Me & a few friends play Warhammer 40k here exclusively, due to the large tables, massive terrain collection, friendly staff & good food.

They take feedback well, recently adding delicious truffle fries & a routinely consistent menu.

Arthur is our regular server & makes an effort to remember our names & always be joyous & polite. This is a quality level of service unseen in Montreal.

There is no better place to play a tabletop rpg like warhammer 40k with friends in Montreal.

Welcoming staff, good selection of games to play. We came for lunch & a game, & although the menu was a little limited, their cheeseburger was fantastic.

Great place to go & play games with friends/groups, the food is excellent. Lots of people from different game communities go there to play everyday of the week, like star wars legion, MCP, 40k etc. The basement is full of tables to play, a lot of terrain & mats available to use, there is a lot of place too. They also hold many tournaments & event throughout the year. Very good selection of games are available to purchase, overall a very good game store 👌

Amazing place. Went there for my boyfriend birthday & the staff were all very friendly, great services & smiles. Arthur was especially attentif & cheerful ( also love his taste in music 😊) Tons of boardgames you can play & some are rarely seen on other boardgames stores. They not only have the easy casual games, but some more advanced complex games for those who wants more. Great for exploring or tested new games. Recommend 100% for boardgames fans!!!

Here is a great place for a fun game night! The atmosphere is cozy, & the staff is super friendly, especially the waiter with blond hair & glasses-he was really nice & helpful. They have a fantastic selection of games. The only downside was the bubble tea, which was a bit too sweet. Overall, it's a wonderful spot to hang out & play games!

LOVED this place. Such a cute space to enjoy food, games & fun times. The service was great. The waitress was helpful as it was our first time. It's awesome that we could enjoy lunch & play any board games we wanted (in the shelf to borrow). Great way to test games we don't already have & to see if we wanna buy it afterwards (as they also sell most board games there too). Would def go again ✨

They inproved a lot by adding Wargaming tables on the resto area so you can play even when there are tournaments going on. Also you can order easy & conveniently.

This is a great game pub! Unlike some game pubs, it’s well lit so you can see what you’re playing. The sound is lively but not so loud that you can’t hear yourself think.

The food is good & varied & the drinks are well made.

The games store has a great selection of board games & miniature games with decent discounts. There’s a huge selection of paints.

I can’t recommend l’Abyss enough!

J'avais réservé la salle D&D.Bonne ambiance/déco très médiévale/Fantasy. Grande table, nous étions 4 & il restait pas mal de place. Au moins pour 2 autres personnes.

La bouffe étai correcte. Bonne sélection de drinks.

I reserved the D&D room. It has a nice ambience/deco that feels medieval/fantasy. The table is large, One DM + 3 players & there was a lot of space left. For at least 2 other players.

The food was OK. Nice choices of drinks.

Great place to play games, paint minis, or just shop for specialty items you can't find anywhere else. Hosted multiple work events here & will definitely be coming back.
