The Card Lounge

Poker Events

Where culinary craft and card play share a stage. Join us for an evening of Texas Hold'em, classic card games, and modern Australian dining in an intimate, distraction-free setting.

The Poker Salon

A sanctuary for in-person poker

The Card Lounge is designed for focus and camaraderie. Professional poker tables, plush leather chairs, and subtle copper lighting keep your attention on the cards and the people around you. Unlike online play, our events encourage conversation, strategy, and the thrill of reading opponents face-to-face.

Your poker night is complemented by a menu of late-night dishes and handcrafted cocktails. The kitchen remains open during events, offering modern Australian small plates designed for sharing between hands. Our bar team crafts drinks that pair with the intensity of the game, from smoky old fashioneds to refreshing highballs.

Poker at ASH & TABLE is about more than the game—it's about the people. Our events attract a diverse crowd of enthusiasts, from seasoned players to curious newcomers. The intimate setting encourages interaction, making every hand a shared experience.
