A Refined, Low-Lit Environment
The card lounge offers a refined, low-lit environment designed to keep attention on the felt. Deep charcoal walls and warm brass accents create a serious, premium ambiance, while dramatic overhead lighting focuses on the poker tables and minimizes distractions. Every surface, shadow, and material choice has been considered to keep the game at the centre of the room.
Ergonomic seating and acoustic treatment ensure long sessions remain comfortable and focused. Chairs are designed for extended play, and the lounge is acoustically treated to reduce noise from the main room, allowing players to read opponents and follow the action without unnecessary interruption.
Games and Formats
The lounge hosts a range of poker games, including Texas Hold'em and Omaha, with stakes suited to serious players. Cash games run daily with varying blinds, and regular tournaments are held in the lounge. All games are live-dealt, face-to-face, and strictly offline.
Table Formats
Stakes are clearly posted, and buy-ins are managed at the table to maintain a real-stakes atmosphere. Minimum and maximum buy-ins vary by table, and no online payment mechanics are used — all transactions are handled in person.

Everything Needed for a Focused Session
The lounge provides everything needed for a focused session, from complimentary beverages to dedicated service. Complimentary coffee and water are available, and a dedicated lounge host assists with seating and game selection. The venue includes a restaurant, but the lounge has its own service so players never have to leave the felt for long.
Climate control and adjustable lighting ensure comfort throughout the day and night. Individual table lamps allow players to adjust lighting, and the lounge is kept at a comfortable temperature year-round in Bathurst, NSW.
A Distinct Experience
While the main poker room offers a high-energy tournament atmosphere, the card lounge provides a more intimate, focused setting. The lounge has fewer tables, allowing for more personalized service, and it is ideal for players who prefer a quieter environment.
Complementary Spaces
Players can move between the lounge and the main room depending on their preference and the game schedule. The lounge is adjacent to the main room, and reservations can be made for either space at 142 William Street, Bathurst.
