Exclusive Hire at Draughts Hackney 

The semi-private Lounge offers comfy seating and giant booths to make you feel right at home. Situated next to the library and opposite the dining room, you have the opportunity to keep the buzzy atmosphere of a busy venue or draw the curtains to create a secluded retreat. 

Lounge 

Nestled behind our collection of over 1,000 board games, the semi-private Library is positioned in the beating heart of the venue. The space lends itself to informal meetings, dining and of course, endless gaming. 

The Library

This is where your party starts! With unique décor, full-size shuffleboard and access to our spacious beer garden, the Dive Bar and Conservatory are ideal for intimate networking and games galore. The space connects to our Ballroom for added flexibility and increased numbers. 

Conservatory and Dive Bar

The Games Studio at Draughts is home to popular YouTube channels and podcasts from No Rolls Barred to Danny Price and Absolute Radio's Andy Bush. We regularly host private dining, sports screenings, and exclusive gaming events. The space has a flat-screen TV, speakers, a high-end gaming table, and recording equipment (if needed). 

The Games Studio 

The brand-new beer garden is ready to hire, with outdoor speakers, eclectic seating, a dedicated bar and giant garden games. The Conservatory, Dive Bar and Ballroom are fantastic additional spaces or wet weather options.

The Secret Beer Garden 

A unique bar and kitchen with board games on tap!

Draughts Waterloo is in a prime location in the infamous Leake Street Graffiti Tunnel, underneath Waterloo station. The former railway arch provides high ceilings and revealed brickwork, that gives the venue an urban aesthetic with a spacious, yet intimate feel. 
Spread over two floors, you can choose from hundreds of board games on the shelves, whilst being served at two dedicated bars.
