Putali Chowk Board Games & Bar isn’t just a game lounge—it’s a cultural experience, a gathering space, and a celebration of authentic human connection.
Our story begins in Bhutan, where our founder was born, and later in Nepal, where 18 years were spent in a refugee camp filled with hardship—but also joy, laughter, and community bonding through board games. These games—Carrom, cards, Ludo—weren’t just entertainment. They were a way of life. Whether it was during festivals or family events, they brought people together.
Today, in an age where screens dominate our lives and real conversations are rare, we’re bringing back the beauty of face-to-face fun, flavorful food, and community spirit—right here in Windsor, Ontario.
In Nepal, “Putali Chowk” refers to a busy 4-way intersection—a vibrant hub where people gather to eat, play, and connect. We’ve brought that same spirit to Canada, combining traditional South Asian hospitality with a modern, inclusive atmosphere that welcomes everyone—families, students, newcomers, locals, and foodies alike.
To become Canada’s leading cultural game lounge—reviving traditional forms of entertainment and social bonding while building a vibrant, inclusive community centered around play, culture, and connection.
To foster genuine human connection by creating a screen-free, stress-free space where people of all backgrounds can come together to enjoy traditional games, flavorful food, and unforgettable shared experiences.
We’re more than just a local hangout—we’re a cultural landmark in the making. Whether you’re reliving your childhood memories or discovering a new way to unwind, Putali Chowk is where stories start and friendships grow.
We’re here all week (except Mondays) serving up good vibes, great food, and your favorite games. Come hang out!
