In this modern day and age, being a geek is in… in the best possible way! Here in the neighborhood, fantasy, comics, and board games collide at The Side Quest, a themed pub in Greater Cleveland. No matter what makes your inner geek tick, there’s something here to delight you. Take a look: Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, Side Quest has closed its doors for good. Looking to play some games?
