  • Warm timber accents and sandstone-toned walls provide a natural backdrop.
  • Cream upholstered chairs offer comfort for extended play sessions.

  • The felt is a deep green, reminiscent of classic poker rooms but with a modern sheen.
  • Cup holders and chip trays are integrated into the rail for convenience.

Optimal Lighting

Lighting above each table is carefully positioned to illuminate the cards and chips without causing glare or shadows. This ensures every player can see clearly, enhancing the face-to-face experience.

  • Adjustable pendant lights hang above each table.
  • Warm colour temperature reduces eye strain during evening play.
  • Dimmer controls allow staff to set the perfect mood.
