The Cardinal Table is an Australian restaurant and retro-inspired card lounge made for meals, cocktails, cards and conversation. This is a look into a real shared room: olive felt, tactile chips, food passed across the table and face-to-face offline poker in easy company. It is a social clubhouse, not a traditional casino—somewhere relaxed gatherings can find their own rhythm.

Inside the card lounge
The card lounge, face to face
Our dedicated card-room experience is built around the simple pleasure of sitting across from other people. Poker tables give cards, hands and conversation a place to meet, while the room leaves space for an unhurried drink and the small rituals that make an evening feel shared.
Offline poker here is about being present: noticing the felt beneath your hands, following the table, reading the room and enjoying the company around it. Whether you arrive with friends or join a lively table, the card lounge keeps the mood welcoming, tactile and social.
Felt, glassware and a good hand to hold
Cards, chips and a cocktail meet on the felt, where conversation is as much a part of the table as the card edges.
The table gathers around
Live card entertainment brings guests together around a hosted, tactile table ritual—easy to enjoy with friends or alongside new faces.
A room with room to linger
Warm lamps, shared tables and a relaxed social pace give the card room the inviting feel of a stylish retro clubhouse.
Dining between stories
A table set for more than one thing
At The Cardinal Table, casual dining belongs naturally beside the card lounge. A meal, a cocktail and an unhurried conversation can shape the start of a visit, carry on after the cards are put down, or simply become the whole reason to gather.
The scenes here are considered but relaxed: a plate at the centre, glassware catching the lamp light, a small deck nearby and friends making room for one another. It is hospitality that invites you to settle in, share the table and let the evening unfold at its own pace.
