The Lodge Card Room Experience

Poker as Craft, Not Spectacle

Our card room is an extension of the lodge's commitment to craft and community. Here, poker is played with intention—among friends, over good food and drink, in a space that honours the game's quiet intensity.

Designed for Focus

Every detail, from the hand-rubbed felt to the warm cedar panelling, is chosen to reduce distraction and elevate concentration.

  • Acoustic treatments keep the room quiet.
  • Lighting is adjustable for optimal card visibility.
  • Comfortable, ergonomic seating for long sessions.

A Social, Not Professional, Atmosphere

We welcome players of all skill levels who appreciate the game's social side. The room is not a venue for high-stakes professional play, but for thoughtful, friendly competition.

  • Friendly dealers and hosts.
  • Games are organized to encourage conversation.
  • No pressure to play beyond your comfort.

The Room

Atmosphere and Design

Timber, Stone, and Felt

The room is framed by exposed timber beams and a stone fireplace, with a custom-built table at its centre. The felt is a deep forest green, chosen to complement the lodge's natural palette.

  • Handcrafted oak table seats up to eight players.
  • Stone fireplace provides warmth and a focal point.
  • Subtle chip and card motifs appear in the woodwork.

Lighting for the Long Game

Warm, dimmable pendant lights hang low over the table, reducing glare and creating an intimate pool of light. Sconces along the walls provide ambient glow without distraction.

  • Dimmable LED fixtures with warm colour temperature.
  • No overhead fluorescent lighting.
  • Candlelight accents on side tables.

A Room Within the Lodge

The card room is accessible through a discreet hallway off the main dining area, ensuring privacy while remaining connected to the restaurant's service.

  • Private entrance for card room guests.
  • Dedicated service staff for food and drink.
  • Soundproofed door to contain conversation.
