What makes this store awesome?
Merle Robinson says
New, clean, many gaming tables, mix of minis, board games & RPGs
Dragon’s Lair Comics & Fantasy has Eurogames as their main product inventory, and also carries big-box “ameritrash” games, tabletop RPGs, CCGs, non-wargame minis (fantasy and/or space), minis accessories (terrain, paint, etc), general game accessories (dice, game mats, markers, etc), and a wide variety of comics, books, and other geek merchandise. There’s not a lot of wargames on the shelves, but there are minis combat games like BattleTech and the GW lines.
They also offer blind grab bags, and even have an in-store paint station with an airbrush and vent hood.
On the shelves, it’s new games
For in-store gaming, you’ve got a few tables
Snacks for sale? yes

re: wargaming frequency: I host a Star Fleet Battles group game there once per month.
well, a “1” is “monthly or less” 😀
is there something else more frequent? b/c the store calendar wasn’t showing it. If so, we’re happy to correct it!
Not that I know of. I should have stated that I was confirming the 1 rating.
