Dine Between Hands

A refined dining room where the focus shifts from the felt to the plate, without losing the venue's premium, nocturnal character.

Warm burgundy leather, dark wood, and brass accents create an intimate contrast to the poker room's green felt. The restaurant is designed as a quieter annex, ideal for a break between poker sessions or a post-tournament meal.

The Dining Room

A Warm Contrast to the Felt

The dining room is a deliberate shift from the poker room's green baize: burgundy leather seating, dark wood tables, and soft brass lighting create a space that feels both luxurious and relaxed.

Seating is arranged for both intimate dinners and larger post-tournament groups. The lighting is low and warm, with brass fixtures that echo the poker room's metallic accents. Acoustic treatment ensures conversation is easy, even when the poker room is busy.

Culinary Philosophy

Crafted for the Long Game

The menu is designed for poker players who appreciate precision and quality. Dishes are hearty enough to sustain a long session but refined enough to feel like a proper dining experience.

Seasonal ingredients sourced from local Canberra producers. A concise menu that changes regularly, with a focus on share plates and substantial mains. A curated wine list and classic cocktails that pair well with the venue's atmosphere.

Starters

Charcuterie board with house-made pickles, grilled prawns with garlic butter, and a rotating selection of small plates designed to open the evening without slowing the game.

Mains

Slow-cooked lamb shoulder, pan-seared barramundi, and a signature steak with red wine jus. Substantial, precise, and built for players who want a proper meal between sessions.

Desserts

Dark chocolate tart, affogato with local espresso, and a short list of finishes that pair with the room's late-night rhythm.

The menu is seasonal and may change; these are representative examples.

Poker & Dining

Between Hands, Around the Table

The restaurant is designed to complement the poker experience. Whether you need a quick bite between tournament levels or a relaxed dinner after a cash session, the dining room is steps away from the felt.

Poker nights often include a dining break; the restaurant offers a streamlined menu during tournaments. Private poker events can include a full dining package with tailored menus. The bar serves coffee, cocktails, and non-alcoholic options throughout the evening.
