Bowness Arts - Board Game Cafe, Vinyl Records & Books

This place is a total gem to go to! The mixture of books, art, music, board games and card games is amazing. The staff at the store are super friendly and always great to chat with. If you are going for games like Pokemon, Magic or Flesh and Blood they have a super welcoming environment. The board games are a great selection and having the ability to rent a table to play a great selection is a great idea! Only tight problem is finding parking sometimes but overall I cannot complain about this place!

Wow this place is awesome. A board gamers delight with lots of games avalible to rent or buy. A great selection of card games like MTG and Pokémon. Set days for different tournaments and a great selection of singles.

This spot is awesome. It reminds me of The 2nd Page Bookstore I used to visit when I was a kid. The staff are helpful and friendly and their vinyl selection is pretty sweet and growing. Nick and the staff do a fantastic job keeping the store organized and clean for customers. The hand crafted signs throughout really add a special touch. I'll for sure visit again.

What an eclectic and awesome store! Records, books, games, and more line the walls, and there is such a clear attention to detail with layout and product. I even loved the tote bags (which are silkscreened by the staff). We loved the record selection, and the staff are super knowledgeable. Looking forward to my next visit!

Went in just to kill some time, ended up with a bunch of books. Great prices and selection.

Amazing book store. Doesnt look like much from outside but once inside its really cool and cozy. Great selection and much cheaper than the other used bookstores in calgary.

This is a cool used bookstore. Everything was well organized and there was great variety. My husband enjoyed looking at the games and records. I’ll be back for sure!

Great place to look for good quality, second hand records:) they've also got a small cassette collection which was super cool to see.first time I've seen ELO vinyls in a store:)

This place is absolutely amazing. I cannot wait for the events to start happening. Board games, paint nights, knitting. This place is definitely going to be a hotspot in Bowness

The BEST record store! New and used, and they work with a cool calgary record label! If you like awesome music go there!

This is a really awesome local little store! I wasn't expecting much when I walked in but was totally blown away! They have loads of records both new and old, tons of books, and what surprised me the most was their huge selection of board games! It's a fun little store with lots to look at. If you're in the area I recommend checking it out. I'm certain you will find something interesting there.

Good selection and great price. A very friendly and nice guy helped me out, and for that I will be a returning customer!

Super cool store, with so much to go through and look at. Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable too! Highly recommend for any book or vinyl lovers.

Great selection of books and records new and old, I found some gems at an affordable price, as well as an extremely kind staff! Awesome store that will only get better
