Starters
Quick, shareable plates designed for players who want to eat without missing a hand. Portions are sized for one or two people and served quickly to accommodate tournament breaks.
Dining
Dine Between Hands
Card Grove Bathurst pairs serious poker with a refined dining room where players can refuel without leaving the felt. The restaurant sits adjacent to the poker room, allowing seamless transitions between play and dining. The menu focuses on high-quality, substantial dishes that suit the rhythm of poker tournaments, and the dark, intimate atmosphere mirrors the poker room's dramatic lighting.
The Space
A Room Built for Focus
The dining room at Card Grove Bathurst is designed for poker players who value comfort and concentration. Low ambient lighting with focused table lamps mirrors the poker room's dramatic feel. Seating is arranged to allow quiet conversation or solo dining between poker games, while acoustic treatment keeps noise from the poker room from disturbing diners.
The dining room is physically connected to the poker room, so you can move between the felt and your table without leaving the venue. Reservations are handled by phone or in person only, never online.
For Players
Fuel for the Felt
The restaurant is built around the needs of serious poker players who want to maintain focus and energy. Quick service during tournament breaks keeps you in the game, and menu items are chosen for sustained energy rather than heavy post-meal sluggishness. Active players can also dine at the poker table without leaving their seat.
Tournament Breaks
Scheduled breaks during poker tournaments are the perfect time to grab a meal. Breaks are typically 15 to 30 minutes, enough for a quick starter or main. Pre-ordering is available before the break to save time, and the restaurant stays open late on tournament nights.
