Welcome to The Cosy Crit!

Combining caffeine and adventuring since 2025.

Welcome to The Cosy Crit — your local tavern for tired adventurers, caffeine-seeking spellcasters, and dice-slinging dungeon crawlers of all alignments. Whether you're here for a +5 Cold Brew of Energy, a Long Rest Latte, or just to roll initiative over a board game and a pain au chocolat, you've found the right inn.

We’ve got plush seating, plenty of potions (some of them come in mugs), and a back room for quests of all shapes and sizes—be they tabletop, card-based, or of the "let’s pretend we're dragons" variety. Our staff are mostly friendly NPCs, and we promise the coffee is never decaffeinated unless cursed.

Feel free to explore our site like a good loot-hungry rogue—check out our menu, peek into the gaming den, or sign up for a one-shot campaign. The Cosy Crit is open to all, whether you’re a level 1 newbie or a seasoned DM with snacks.

Adventure (and caffeine) awaits!

Coffee

The Cosy Crit is a haven for heroes, spellcasters, and caffeine connoisseurs since the grand year of 2025. Nestled in the heart of Greater Manchester, our humble little tavern has been serving up critical cups of coffee, freshly baked pastries (some say magically enhanced), and good vibes for adventurers of all alignments.

More than just a café, The Cosy Crit is a gathering spot for the local party—hosting regular gaming events, fortnightly Dungeons & Dragons campaigns, and weekly workshops to help players and Dungeon Masters level up their storytelling, character-building, and dice-wielding skills. Whether you're a seasoned dungeon delver or just rolled your first d20, there's a seat for you at our table.

So pull up a chair, grab a brew (or a Butterbrew, if you're feeling brave), and explore the rest of our site to learn more about our menu, events, and quests yet to come. Just mind the mimic disguised as a footstool.

Adventure begins with the first sip.
