Description
For over ten years, Draughts has been bringing people together through the joy of play and a little friendly rivalry. The newest venue in the Draughts family is spread across two floors and has seating for 150 guests and also houses one of London’s largest board game libraries, with over 1,000 titles, ranging from party favourites to strategic classics.
Beyond the games, Draughts delivers on the food and drink front too. The dining menu features elevated comfort food with global flair, from Halloumi fries to Burgers and Baja Fish Tacos to Ice Cream Nachos. Drinks include craft beers, signature cocktails, and a curated list of low and no alcohol serves, including the cult favourite Caramel Popcorn Milk Happy HI-Ball and a killer non-alcoholic margarita.
Draughts Stratford aims to continue Draughts’ mission to create inclusive spaces where people can connect in person, switch off from screens, and enjoy quality time with others. Whether you're a seasoned board game fan, planning an after-work hangout, or looking for a memorable date spot, there's something for everyone. Surrounded by cultural neighbours such as Sadler’s Wells, V&A East, and the BBC, Draughts Stratford is right at the heart of one of London’s most exciting and fast-evolving destinations.
