The Rook Room at Harbach Lofts
A game lounge and cafe connects directly to the building. It is the closest place to get a coffee, a drink or a game in, without leaving home.
What it is
The Rook Room is a game lounge and cafe that connects to the building. For a resident it is the shortest trip to a coffee or a drink, and a place to meet people over a board game. It is run as its own business.
Hours and menu
Because the Rook Room is its own business and not a building amenity we run, its hours, menu and any membership or cover are theirs to set and change. We do not restate them here. Check the Rook Room directly for the current details.
