They were quick to respond to my Facebook message about having something in stock. Drove down and they had it. Friendly and helpful bunch.

This shop is truly a gem of a lost Era. They have everything the gamer could want games, books, miniatures. For parents looking to get their kids off the screen they even have all the supplies for painting miniatures. Its great to have a place to go and ask questions of a knowledgeable staff. We are so happy we found them!

Staff was very helpful, friendly and professional. Great spot to check out and buy from. Very well priced

Great place amazing & super helpful staff. Also wonderful facilities. Great place to play D&D or magic the gathering also Great comic & D&D book selections.

Friendly people. A great place to discover, play and buy whole kind of boardgames and tabletop games.

Bearded Dave gave me solid advice on painting miniatures, then we bought 3 new games.

Great store for everything from boardgames to pen and paper Rpgs and from dice to mini figures. Theyve got it all for your table top gaming needs.

Awesome place. It has a little bit of everything.

Nice store has lots of bored games my bf loved it!

Great selection of Magic:The Gathering cards, always great prices on singles and sealed products. Nice selection of board games. Wonderful and knowledgeable staff, especially the manager, Bill. Plenty of space to play in the game room, which is kept clean. Definitely among the best local game stores around!

Captain Jim is the best. Friendly staff, big comic selection and Magic The Gathering.

Great store for Magic the Gathering. This is the best store for trading in cards in the area.

The store staff is friendly and accommodating and theres plenty of room to play table tops, card games, and Miniatures. A great selection of games with all of your modern comic book needs.

Best Shop in the Valley. Fair prices and good selection of cards and supplies.

Great shop! Awesome service, great selection of minis, comics, table top supplies and more.

This place has a great tabletop, board, and card game selection. They have some discounted games that needed turned over to make stock for new. This was a great way to add more games to our household. The shop staff is full of knowledge and willing to help beginners find their way in the gaming world. Check this place out when you have time to spend because it will take you a while.

Fast, secure and well packaged shipping. Contents mint on delivery. The pre-release sales and bonuses as-described and very appropriate.

A very great local game store that hosts a large variety of events and gaming products for all ages. They have a hoard of board games ranging from classics to the newest popular creations. I personally go there to attend a Magic the Gathering event from time to time and the community there is also great.

I like it here. The back gaming area could use a little updating, some quality of life changes if you will. Maybe some sound absorbant pads or something to soften the volume. Shop is clean and orderly, including the back gaming area, which is impressive considering the size of it. Sizable and interesting offering of board games. Staff is friendly too.

Staff is helpful and friendly. An online purchasing feature on their website would be great.

This place gets 5 stars just for taking a bag of pennies. At first glance this place is a wonderful sensory overload. So many wonderful things to gaze upon. Staff was nice, informative, friendly, especially coming in with a bag of pennies. We came in looking for a place to play Magic and we will definitely be by there to play.

Only have a few of the newest comics. More of a gaming shop than comic shop. No dollar bins. My interest is comics so I’m giving 1 Star but if you like games it’s probably a good shop.

Its definitely worth the trip from Center City Allentown. Although the front of the store seems narrow, the game room in the back is so spacious. Besides, I think Id have a better start with comics in a smaller comic book shop space. Im also thinking of bringing my Dungeons & Dragons party here for a few sessions after picking up some snacks from CVS next door, or bringing just a couple friends to play a few rounds of Magic. Its conveniently located a block or so from the 220 bus stops, so I dont ever have to worry about getting lost.

Nice variety, friendly staff, gaming tables in back for next to nothing to reserve. I wish there was a place like this near my home when I was a teen!

Heres the thing that matters the most in a place like this, the staff. I havent met a person there yet who hasnt gone out of their way to make the customer happy and to ensure that theyve made a customer for life. Everyone is so friendly! They have a great selection of games and comics, but they also have a large gaming space, rentable rooms, bathrooms, and a full calendar of events that the public is welcome to join in on. Its a great place to go, and theyre kid friendly too!

This is one of the nicest shops around. They give a great customer Discount for repeat customers. Knowledgeable staff and great products. Games workshop and many others

Great Atmosphere, great employees. Always a pleasure to be here!

This is a great place - and easily the best location for your tabletop gaming needs in the Bethlehem/Easton/Allentown area. Rulebooks? Theyve got them. Miniatures both painted and unpainted? Yep. Card-game singles of prestigious rarity? You bet. Comics?Truck loads. And tons of unique games and accessories you wouldnt think of until you see them and realize you need it! Never a wasted trip to this place and every single member of staff is polite, knowledgeable, and happy to help.The only downside is space - it tends to get cramped and there isnt always an obvious beginning or end to a service line - but they do the best they can with what theyve got - which is pretty damn good.

Portal rocks! They are always helpful and informative. Since I live farther away I typically call ahead and they are great at letting you know if they have or will soon have something you want. The gaming room also offers a ton of room and a variety of complimentary items to use and a diverse group of tabletop gamers to meet.

The staff are super kind and they give great discounts! Im a regular and love their store. I go almost every week/weekend. They have a great selection and a vast mtg card collection! Its my favorite store and i love to go there! probably going today! cant wait to get new cards at great prices!(im on my moms computer)

Awesome selection and helpful staff. They run so many events and activities, its staggeringly impressive. (Fantastic Halloween party, as well!)

Going to portal is always a nice experience.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very nice atmosphere and wonderful selection of games and comics.

Great selection and absolutely amazing people behind the counters!

The Portal is a great game store. There is a large selection of games that includes new titles and the occasional hidden gem of an older title. The staff is very friendly. There is also plenty of room for gaming in the back room. This is a real asset for Bethlehem.

So much better than the Encounter. The board game selection is phenomenal! Staff is super friendly.

Im convinced its one of the best game shops in the country, definitely the best in the area. The back room is more than large enough for what it is used for and the selection of Warhammer, rpg, and board games is fantastic. The staff is always super friendly and helpful as well. I love this place

Great place and very welcoming. This was a big concern for me since Im browsing for myself and my two girls. Some places can feel like boys clubs which is not the case here.

Great place for my group to rent a room in back and play all day. Its a good central location for us

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great space. They do a great job running events. This is where you will find me every international table top day

Great place for every type of gaming and comic related interests. Staff is the best of the best. Great environment. Kid friendly. Cannot say anything negative.

Wonderful customer service

Awesome place. I drove over an hour to visit this place. Super friendly staff and visitors. Stocks the latest and greatest games. Thanks again!

I love this place. Tons of great games, comics, painting supplies etc. Only criticism ( albeit a miniscule one) is the store layout seems to frequently change. But ask anyone for help and they will point you in the right direction. Very friendly staff and great customer service.

Been here a few times for Warmachine tournaments. Always worth the trip (3 hours for me). Great space, awesome people, and really great support for their gaming events.

If its board games and cards youre after, heres the place to get it. If its intense game nights with a broad variety, this is also your destination. If its a peaceful, calm, and quiet store, it can sometimes depend on when you go.

Always a pleasure stopping by. They have a great selection and a decent selection of used books as well

Hands down the best Hobby store in the Lehigh Valley. I go there for all my miniature painting and tabletop gaming needs. More choices of different brand paints and brushes than the chain store hobby shops, and a far better selection of table top games.

The Portal is a great place for Magic the Gathering, pen & paper rpg, all kinds of board games, and miniature gaming supplies. There is also a spacious game room with a massive library of board games to try-before-you-buy. The staff is friendly and helpful and there are organized events of some kind or another most nights of the week. They also have hot new comic books (pull-lists get a discount) as well as some graphic novels and back-issues.

Awesome store with great customer service. They have a large gaming room in the back and a large selection of board games to buy. Also good selection of 40k, warmachine/hordes, and magic the gathering. Great place to hang out and make new friends.

Love this Store! Very friendly staff and owners! Great place for mtg cards, gaming (of all sorts) accessories, collectables, miniatures, comics, board games, and so much more!

The staff is always friendly. The stock is good and if they dont have it they can usually get it for you. Plus, the customer loyalty program is great.

Visited Portal for prerelease with friends, and this place is (in many ways) better than my local game store. The only thing I can say is I wish it wasnt an hour drive for me to get there, or I would make it my new home away from home.

Options for everyone! Board games, D&D, Star Wars Legions, Munchkins, warhammer, Blood bowl, Hordes, magic the gathering, pokemon, smash up, funko pops and much more. They also do lots of events, theres a calendar on the right when you walk in.

Great business! Awesome service and tons of fun.

Nice gaming and collectible card store. Staff is friendly, and has a lot of stock of everything. Very extensive gaming and Magic selection. Large table area. Nice to see the gaming stores still around.Comic selection has deteriorated in the last few months. They have signs to ask to re-order new comics just out that week and their back issues are all gone. Clearly a gaming store now and not a comic book store.

Wonderfully nice and helpful staff. Varied stock of board games, paints and miniatures.

Everyone there is really cool. Awesome selection of stuff. My son loves going to the Portal for D&D Adventurers League.

Large open gaming area (seats about 100), hundreds of demo games, good gaming events and friendly staff.

Me and my friends are 11 and we really like going to the gaming room we go almost every day.

Love this store

Great assortment of boardgames, tabletop figures, paints comic books and cardgames. Have played tabletop in the backroom three times now and its been great. Lots of terrain and tables to choose from, generally good prices on figures and paints, and the staff is very helpful with advice and suggestions. Great store overall!

I wish I could give this place a higher rating, but every time I visit Vegan Treats across the street and try to take my family in The Portal the place smells like horrible body odor. My brother is a stinky guy who smells like an everything pizza so I can handle some stink, but unfortunately this stench is absolutely unbearable. Its really a shame considering its such a convenient spot, but every time we have to leave before being able to buy anything. I wish this wasnt the case. If youre reading this and own the establishment; please do something about this as its been over a year now..I would be willing to give this place a 6th chance if they begin to enforce hygiene policies with their employees.

Great staff and very helpful. Fun place for all! Large selection of table top and card games.

Its the best playing environment Ive experienced. Nice people, employees and customers

Great service, wide selection, knowledgable staff

Friendly staff. Nice crowds gather there for friendly game sessions. Good place for any board and card game lovers.

Awesome Staff! Amazing Demo Game Selection! Lots of events happening weekly

Solid place to play. Huge game play area for table top

Nice selection of games and very nice people.

Really cool place to go for any D&D needs you may have.

This place is fantastic. Great selection of board and war games. Great Staff and always has SOMETHING going on!

Very awesome and the staff were all very kind hearted, one of the employees said he would be happy to teach me how to play card games for free and the comics are cool, this is my second favorite comic shop in pennsylvania ( the encounter comes first).

Excellent employees, awesome environment. Love it!!

Best game store in the region. Great staff and worth driving a bit to get to.

Wow! What a great experience. Great and helpful staff, a very diverse product selection varying from comics, graphics, board games, miniatures of all sorts, CCGs,table top war games filling a whole wall of the store, and too many board games to count. The rear game room was filled with multiple groups of people playing an assortment of games. So glad we have a store like this in our community!

I run a local Strategy Club at school. This is where I send folk for comics, new games, RPG, and to find good conversations.

If you are into mini games like Warhammer and its like, this store has you covered. Everything you need like paints, etc. MTG, comics. Great store.

Friendly Staff. Good selection of Games and Comics. Well run events (like International Table Day)

I enjoy visiting the portal. The people are great and the selection of games are grand. Also enjoy the tabletop rpg groups that attend there.

Been going here for years. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, great selection, friendly atmosphere. Best gaming store in the valley.

Portal Gaming is fabulous! The staff are super friendly and extremely helpful. I always enjoy myself when I go to Portal!

Great selection, friendly staff, fabulous gaming space in back of store.

These guys know a lot about magic the gathering, they have a good selection of board games and miniature game pieces. All and all I love this place and have been and will continue shopping here.

Great place for games, and more. Staff is friendly and helpful. Best place to discover new hobbies and games.

Great comic and gaming shop. Great selection of board games, gaming supplies, miniatures, and magic card singles. Large back room for gaming and frequent events.

Best selection of dungeons and dragons figures in the area, nice, helpful staff.

Its a pretty run off the mill gaming and comic shop. Pretty much exactly what youd expect... Nothing special but not bad either

I dont know what John M. is referring too, (perhaps they were like that when they first opened). However now they do have comic books of early issues and if they dont have the one you are looking for, they can order it for you. Very pleased with this store.

Really good game shop. Cozy, yet its got it where it counts, kid.Good selection of RPGs and card games.Onsite gaming.

I never got a chance to the guys today for helping with the raid I got stood up on! Thanks guys! Even though we disnt take the raid, still appreciate the help!

Its a good comic store with good staff, they are usually busy but with a bit of a waiting you get the information you need, invitations to events, and even store promotions. They stock just about anything a hobbyist in CCG, minis and board games would need.

Used to be a great place. When Jared left, place went downhill. No communication with the customers.

Excellent game day! Pretty much now my favorite game shop!

My fiance goes there and says its one of the greatest places to go for TCGs .

The staff are fantastic. Bill (the manager) is just the nicest guy in the world. The game room is by far my favorite in our area of the Lehigh Valley. Ive been shopping and playing with these guys for around 15 years. when they were a small store/shack down by the Keystone pub they were still veery popular and super busy.. They dont let the riff raff in or the ruffians they will not hesitate to kick them out if people are not acting accordingly with their manners which is another thing that I love But my favorite thing about the place, when you show reliability, trust and loyalty to that LGS, they dont overlook that. Thank you for being the best around and to many more years.

Cool place, good selection. Loved the music playing.

Good staff, excellent selection. I was able to find just about anything Im looking for

Great place to hang out people who run the place are extremely nice fun atmosphere

Always a pleasure to stop by. Great selection and staff
