The Empire Strikes Back!
The Griffons Lair is a tabletop game shop offering RPGs, miniatures games,
board games and card games. We have semi-private game rooms and plenty
of play space. Come on down and check us out!
The owner, Steve, was part owner of a game shop in Las Vegas (Empire Comics
and Games, LLC). It was initially established in 2014. It was a rather successful
and very enjoyable endeavor building the business over several years. As it
sometimes happens, disagreements over business practices led to a splitting
of the operation and Steve departed from Empire Games in late 2016 and
moved to Erie, PA.
After some time, the decision was made to dive back into the industry and The
Griffons Lair Game Shop, LLC was born. Finding a quaint little space which
offered desired amenities and strategically located next to Virgil’s Pizza (game
stores and pizza go hand in hand), the die was cast and Griffons Lair was
opened in November of 2017.
The original shop featured 1200 sq. ft. of space including a main retail area
with gaming space as well as two semi-private rooms for RPGs, board games,
card games and miniatures. After a year of growth which exceeded
expectations, plus a dwindling space for new product, Griffons Lair moved to
our current location on West 26th.
The new location has an expanded retail area, room for more tables and a
semi-private gaming area as well. Our miniatures tables come in 4x4 and 4x6
and are combinable to make 4x8 and 6x8 tables. Griffons Lair offers free open
game play space and regularly hosts Organized Play events, leagues, escalation
events, and tournaments. If there’s something we don’t have, let us know and
we will get on it!
