The Card Lounge

A refined space to unwind between hands, share stories, and enjoy premium drinks and dining in the heart of Canberra's poker scene.

The lounge is designed for serious poker players who appreciate a sophisticated environment. It offers a seamless transition from the intensity of the poker room to a more relaxed social setting, all within the same venue.

The Lounge Experience

Designed for Players

The Card Lounge is crafted with the same attention to detail as our poker room, featuring deep leather seating, dark wood accents, and warm brass lighting that creates an inviting, club-like atmosphere.

Furnishings are chosen for comfort during extended conversations. Lighting is dimmed to reduce glare and maintain a relaxed mood. The space is acoustically treated to keep conversations private.

A Seamless Transition

Step away from the felt and into a space that encourages reflection and camaraderie. The lounge is located adjacent to the poker room, allowing you to move between games and relaxation without leaving the venue.

The proximity to the poker room means you never miss a hand. The lounge offers a quieter environment for strategic discussions.
