I just spent 6 days in San Miguel. It's a charming and colourful little colonial town. Like OP said, great place to hang out and recharge from the craziness of CDMX, maybe spend a weekend with a girlfriend. Most of the OP's original venues are still relevant from what I can tell. Funny how most things don't change in a small town even after 6 years.
I will add a few nuggets to the data sheet:
La Chula: Neat little roof top bar / restaurant across the street from Mama Mia Bar. There's a live DJ and the bar service is fast. They play latin / top 40 / salsa music. There's two levels to the roof top and there's couches on the top level which create a very intimidate feel for a date. I took a girl here on a date on a weeknight. Would recommend.
Quince: This place is the swankiest spot in the centre of town by far. It's a bar / restaurant on a terrace overlooking the town cathedral. The decor and ambiance is very nice. Came here again on a date with a chica and the cocktails were delicious. Saw some fly high end fresa looking chicks in tight cocktail dresses out with their boyfriends / social groups here. The Mexicans that hang out here tend to have more more money as it's an upper-middle - high class joint.
La Coronela Bar: A long, darker bar with loud bumping music all week long. Seems like a local hang out. Decently priced drinks and a good warm-up spot for a date. Would not come here if you're looking for something more intimidate though.
Hostel Rosewood: The most expensive and fancy hotel in town a bit out of the center. The Aldea neighbourhood does have some restaurants and bars that I didn't get a chance to explore, as well as proximity to some decent hotels. I did not stay here but did drop in to scope out the venue. Another fancy terrace / rooftop bar with relatively pricier drinks overlooking the city. Could have suited up G game potential.
Taco Real: Located on Relox street just north of the Jardin Allende. It's a no-frills Mexican buffet for 100 pesos. The selection is decent for the price and the food seems pretty fresh if you come for lunch. I've eaten here a few times and would recommend.
Cafe San Agustin: Probably the most well known restaurant in town. The food here is really good, and the churros / hot chocolates are a must-try. Lots of Sex in the City MX style decorations. Great value for the price.
La Catrina Hostel: I stayed a few nights here in a private room. About 350 pesos per night and has all the basic amenities you'd need plus simply breakfast included. It's a 10 min walk to town centre. Nice big common area / kitchen. Pretty mixed travelling crowd from solo girls to european gap-year couples to families with babies. I met a few cool backpackers here and we ended up hanging out. Did not try bringing a girl back here so I don't know how receptive the staff would be to that. Would recommend.
Hostal & Spa Lool Beh: A cheaper version of La Catrina and more out of the way to the town centre on the opposite end. Stayed here for two days just to lay low. WiFi was good, breakfast included, staff was friendly, and they have a laundry service for 50 pesos. The mixed dorm beds / mattresses were crappy and not comfortable. Otherwise it's a quiet little spot if you're on a budget.
Overall, I would not come here for specific gaming purposes but you can do some opportunistic day game around and meet the girl(s) out later in the night. I liked it more than Guanajuato which has more of a claustrophobic feel with the mountains and buildings right on top of you, and the city traffic minus big-city amenities. The town has a real rustic charm to it during the weekdays with locals going about their everyday lives. It really comes alive people start to flood in during the weekends for their weekend getaways / parties.
