FAQ

  • Is this place just for kids?
    Sidetracks is for everyone! We have clubs designed for the young and the young at heart. As author Peter Attia points out in this article, games were historically the purview of adults. We have a wide range of games and a wide range of clubs available to meet the needs of all members of the local community. Don’t see something you like? Let us know and we’ll consider creating a new club to fill the niche!
  • Do I have to buy a membership to play games?
    No. Sidetracks is home to a number of different clubs. In order to join one of these clubs and play games during their meeting times, you have to purchase a membership and register for that club. We also have Open Gaming times though. Open Gaming is available to everyone. Members play for free during these times. Non-members pay a cover charge for unlimited gaming that day. See the Clubs and Open Gaming tabs for details.
  • Are there age ranges for different after school clubs?
    After school clubs are geared to middle schoolers and high schoolers in 5th through 12th grades. If your child is interested in joining a particular club, but doesn't necessarily fit in this age range, please reach out to us at sidetracksbgc@gmail.com.

    Operating hours shift slightly from season-to-season. Visit our Home page for current operating hours. Also, check out our Calendar page for the schedule of special events.

    At the present time, we have a modest selection of pre-packaged drinks and snacks for sale (soda, water, candy bars, chips, pretzels, etc.).
  • Are outside food and drinks allowed?
    Outside food and drinks are not permitted without prior approval from the manager. (Outside food and drinks are permitted for parties, Boilermakers Club and other special events.)
  • Do you sell games?
    We do not currently carry inventory for retail board games sales. This is something we might consider in the future if there is a demand in the local community for it.
