Design & Atmosphere

Coastal contemporary design with a poker-salon soul

The Lounge channels the ease of Australia’s coastline through bright, airy volumes, softened by architectural lines drawn from luxury poker salons. Soaring ceilings, eucalyptus-green velvet and brushed brass details create a setting that feels both relaxed and impeccably polished.

Light-filled luxury interiors

Floor-to-ceiling openings bathe the Lounge in coastal light, softly reflected off ivory walls and sandstone-hued surfaces. The result is a generous, unhurried space that feels perfect for long dinners, high-stakes hands or lingering conversations between games.

Architectural poker details

Subtle references to classic card motifs and poker tables are woven into the interiors through inlay patterns, curved banquettes and brass edging. Every detail is curated to enhance the theatre of the game without overwhelming the space.

Seamless flow from bar to table

The Lounge layout supports a natural progression from pre-dinner drinks at the bar, to seated dining, to immersive poker sessions. Sightlines stay open, ensuring you always feel connected to the energy of the room.

Premium Private Seating

Spaces crafted for comfort, focus and effortless hosting

From plush semi-private booths to dedicated poker tables, every seat in the Lounge is designed to feel like the best in the house. Generous spacing, soft acoustics and tailored lighting ensure you can unwind, converse or concentrate on the next hand.

Plush booths for intimate dining

Settle into deep, upholstered booths that wrap around the room like a series of private lounges. They offer the ideal setting for pre-game dinners, celebratory desserts or relaxed grazing while you spectate live tournaments.

Purpose-built poker tables

Our poker tables are meticulously crafted for extended play, with ergonomic edges, softly padded rails and premium felts for a smooth, responsive feel. Each table is positioned to balance privacy with the buzz of the wider Lounge.
