About Draughts Waterloo

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.
