Draughts Hackney

You don't have to like board games, but it helps! With over 1,000 games at your disposal and a menu of yummy pub grub, everyone's a winner at Draughts.

Grungy but cool, this eatery has a 'secret club' kind of vibe. Tucked away in edgy Hackney, its low ceilings, moody neon signs and endless shelves of boxed-up-fun makes you think you've entered a different world altogether. Add in their art-deco style bar and you're in a different era too.

As well as Scrabble, Cluedo and Monopoly, there are tasty tidbits on the menu for lunch and dinner. If you're in the zone, opt for a selection of light bites that you can dip in and out of. Celebrate your victory with some Korean chicken or halloumi nuggets. Even if you lose, commiserate with some truffle cheese tots or buffalo fried chicken – it's a win-win situation!

For something more substantial, their cheeseburger, vegan fish and chips or selection of tacos might pull you over the finish line. Whether you're a winner or a loser, a vegan or a carnivore, a lager guy or a cocktail queen, you'll never be bored at Draughts...
