Burdock Moorgate: Shuffleboard in London

Burdock is a wine and tapas bar on Finsbury Square in Moorgate, on the ground floor of the Montcalm Royal London House hotel, with three shuffleboards you can book alongside the drinks and small plates. It suits after-work groups and anyone who wants a game without trekking to a dedicated games warehouse, since you are in a proper bar rather than a venue built around the boards.

The single most useful thing to know: the shuffleboard is bookable by the half hour and you need at least two players, so it works best for a pair or a small group rather than a solo drop-in. The bar runs the same space from breakfast through to late, so you can build a game into a longer evening of wine and tapas.

The shuffleboard setup

There are three shuffleboards here, which you reserve in advance rather than grab off the floor. Sessions are sold in half-hour blocks at roughly £10, and you need a minimum of two players to take a board. That format keeps it casual and competitive without committing you to a whole evening on one table. Because the boards sit inside the wider bar rather than a separate games hall, you play with a drink in hand and stay close to the food and the rest of your group. If you want a guaranteed slot, especially on busier weekday evenings, booking ahead is the safe move.

Good to know

Burdock is first and foremost a wine and tapas bar, so the kitchen and bar carry the night: curated wine lists and shareable plates you can order between rounds. It is open early, from 8am on weekdays and 9am at weekends, through to 11pm, so you can land an after-work game or a long weekend session. Alcohol service means 18-plus for the bar side. The setting is the Montcalm Royal London House hotel on Finsbury Square, a short walk from Moorgate, which makes it an easy meeting point for a City crowd.
