About The Misty Tavern

We’re building more than just a bar, we’re crafting a third space where stories come to life. The Misty Tavern will be a warm, immersive gathering place tucked into the heart of San Francisco, designed for gamers, storytellers, and curious newcomers alike.

While our doors haven’t opened yet, the vision is already alive. Here’s a glimpse at what we’re planning to bring to life:

🍻 The Tavern Hall – A Third Space for Adventurers

Think of it like your favorite neighborhood pub… if your neighborhood was a fantasy realm! The Tavern Hall will be a welcoming, open space filled with communal tables, curated board games, and weekly in-person quests. Whether you’re here to meet new people, read through your campaign notes, or casually game with friends, the hall is your base of operations. No bookings needed, just show up, grab a drink, and play some games.

🍴 Craft Drinks & Small Bites – Fantasy-Inspired Flavor

We’re building a bar that leans into storytelling. Expect rotating themed cocktails, seasonal brews, mocktails, and simple, satisfying food made for gaming tables. Drinks will be tied to in-game lore and events, with occasional "buffs" granted to your guild profile (yes, seriously).

🧙 Guild Membership – Create Your Character IRL

When you join the guild, you'll create a digital character that represents you across all your tavern visits. Earn experience by completing quests, attending events, playing games, and more. Leveling up will let you unlock rewards like free drinks, exclusive merch, titles, and even secret story content.

If you're into tabletop RPGs, you can also create a guild-linked adventurer to bring into curated TTRPG sessions. As your story progresses, your character levels up in and out of the game, blurring the lines between fiction and your night out.

Shelves with books and gaming items surround the room. The ceiling displays an artwork of a castle in a forest, creating a mystical atmosphere. Comfortable chairs are arranged around the table, and soft lighting adds a warm ambiance.

🎲 Private Gaming Rooms – Fully Equipped for Immersion

Want a full campaign night with your crew? Our rentable rooms are built for serious play:

  • Themed lighting and ambient sound systems

  • Mounted TVs for maps, visuals, and digital aids

  • Books, minis, terrain, props, and costume accents

These spaces will be modular and adjustable, so whether it’s an epic dungeon crawl or co-op video game night night, you’ll feel right at home.

🎓 Events, Workshops & Special Programming

We’re developing a robust calendar of recurring events: GM skill-building workshops, session zero nights for new groups, themed one-shot tournaments, community mixers, and pop-ups around the Bay. There’s no barrier to entry — just a shared love for games, stories, and community.
