About Draughts Hackney
Board games fill every corner of our Grade II listed building on Kingsland High Street, where we've transformed this historic space into East London's favorite spot for parties with a playful twist. At Draughts Hackney, we've built something special across our seven interconnected rooms - each one flows into the next, giving you options whether you're planning an intimate gathering for 10 or a full takeover for 250 guests. Our collection spans over 1,000 games, from quick party favorites to strategy epics, and your guests get unlimited access with gaming admission (£7.50 off-peak, £9.50 peak times). We find the games bring people together in ways traditional party venues just can't match. The long bar runs through the heart of the building, stocked with craft beers and our signature cocktails, while our kitchen serves up crowd-pleasers like Halloumi Fries, Baja Fish Tacos, and yes, even Ice Cream Nachos. The secret beer garden catches sun all day and comes alive during parties - we've set up outdoor games out there too. Our podcast studio doubles as a private space for smaller groups who want their own corner. We welcome everyone here: kids under 12 play free, teenagers get half price, and dogs are always welcome to join the fun. Corporate teams book us for events that actually get people talking and laughing together. Birthday parties spill across multiple rooms as groups discover new games. We've hosted everything from engagement celebrations to company holiday parties, each one shaped by what our guests want to create. The building's original features - exposed brick, wooden beams, period details - give every photo that authentic East London edge while our team handles the logistics of your event from start to finish.
