Entries on this list

Café chess is the easiest way in: no membership, a drink on the table and someone across the board. This page lists cafés and bars where a source shows chess, either boards kept for customers or a group that meets there on a set evening. The organiser of a meet-up can be a separate group, named in the sessions table of the card.

These entries change faster than clubs. A bar changes hands, a group moves to another venue, a weekly evening pauses for the summer. That is why the date at the end of each line matters more here than anywhere else on the site. Whether a purchase is expected, and whether boards are provided, is shown only when a source says so.
