🍖 NATIONAL BARBECUE NIGHT — FIRE UP THE FUN!
📅 Saturday, May 16, 2026
💵 Reminder: To help cover Meet-Up costs, we kindly ask for a $1 contribution per person each Game Night.
✨ First-time visitors are always free, and you can ask about prepaying for multiple months at a discounted rate if you'd like to save a little and support the group long-term.
Come hang out with us for a relaxed evening full of fun, laughter, and board games!
In celebration of National Barbecue Day, we’re bringing the heat — not from the grill, but from the competition at the table. Whether you're here to rack up wins or just soak in the good vibes, this night should be well done!
🤣 Joke of the Day:
Why did the barbecue chef lose at Game Night?
Because he kept getting grilled on every turn! 😄
We’re proud to see this group still going strong after more than a year of fun (Started February 22, 2025!) — building a welcoming, lighthearted community of gamers, regulars, and new faces alike. If you’ve never been before, this is a great one to jump into.
📍 LOCATION — Glory Days Grill
14457 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33618
(Just south of the intersection of Bearss and Ehrlich)
🅿️ Plenty of parking in front and on the side.
🕔 SCHEDULE
We’ll be arriving a little before dinner, with seating and food starting around 4:45 PM.
Game playing typically kicks off around 6:00 PM and goes until 9:30–10:00 PM, depending on the crowd and energy.
You're welcome to come early, late, or leave whenever you need — it’s totally flexible.
🎲 ABOUT OUR GAME NIGHTS
We’re not a D&D or heavy strategy group. We stick to fun, easygoing games. A few have called us a “Party Games” group — and one of our regulars said, “Hard-core gamers might get frustrated, but I loved it.” That might be the best description we’ve got!
Past nights have included:
Uno, Only One, Yahtzee, 3Up/3Down, trivia-style games, Sorry, Deer in the Headlights, Rummikub, Ticket to Ride, Sequence, Apples to Apples, Exploding Kittens, and more!
Feel free to bring a game you love (ideally one that works with 3+ players)!
✅ PLEASE RSVP ON MEET-UP
We need a rough headcount to give the restaurant — so please RSVP, and cancel your RSVP if your plans change.
