Draughts

London, ENG, UK • 25 Employees
Restaurants

Draughts is one of London’s original concept bars. First appearing in an old railway arch in Haggerston in 2014, the brand quickly grew a loyal following as one of the trailblazers in experiential venues. Since its inception, the Draughts ethos has always been to get people off their telephones and help them connect with their friends. We do this by providing unparalleled table top entertainment and a setting for healthy competition. With over a thousand board games across two central London sites, Draughts is ideal for people who like to use their hands - and minds – while socialising. Draughts Waterloo is a 150 capacity venue nestled inside a former railway arch, within the iconic Leake Street Graffiti tunnel. Its revealed brickwork and high ceilings work in tandem to give a welcome juxtaposition: a spacious environment with an intimate atmosphere. Draughts Hackney is the latest addition to the pack. This 250-capacity site has seven interconnected rooms with a surprise around every corner. Its Grade II listed features ensure its carefully crafted elegance, while the addition of a conservatory, dive bar, and huge beer garden means there’s a place for almost every occasion. With a full-sized shuffle table, garden games, and even a podcast studio, it’s an amazing site for nights out, live events, or private parties. Both venues offer quality food, craft beers, and, of course, specialists to help you not only choose a game but play for hours on end.
