Board Game Night @ Recess Bar

The Recess Bar in Parsippany, NJ is the perfect place for friends and strangers to gather over games and drinks in a fun, low-pressure environment that still carries a bit of purpose. They have over 100 board games, PS4, PS5, XBox series x, and Switch. outside food is allowed.

While the broader gaming scene is often shaped by loud voices with a hateful slant, this event offers a subtle alternative—a space where progressive folks can just enjoy themselves, meet new people, and play everything from Mario Kart to pool without the usual baggage. Leftist game night is about reclaiming fun, connection, and a sense of belonging in a scene that used to be for everyone.
