Step into Australia’s premier sunlit card room and boutique grill. Pull up a seat at handcrafted poker tables, master deep-stack Texas Hold'em tournaments, and indulge in artisan charcuterie and dry-aged steaks in an authentic offline poker atmosphere.
The Marble Parlour is where an upscale Australian restaurant, artisanal charcuterie and cocktail bar, and dedicated offline poker club meet beneath soft daylight and warm ivory tones.
At the heart of the venue is authentic social connection: real poker tables, tactile ceramic chip stacks, and live dealers guiding each hand. Guests lean into thoughtful Texas Hold'em tournaments and social poker formats while plates of seasonal Australian produce, chargrilled steaks and crafted spritzes circulate seamlessly between the dining room and card room.
The Ivory Felt Experience is intentionally offline. Phones are set aside, conversations deepen across the felt, and each shuffle, cut and chip placed carries the quiet theatre of a premium social card room.
Seasonal Australian produce, dry-aged beef and refined small plates designed for both the dining room and tableside service.
Artisan cheese and cured meats, low-intervention wines and botanical cocktails curated to complement long offline poker sessions.
A purpose-built card room with tournament poker tables, structured blind formats and a welcoming, dealer-guided environment.
From custom-built poker tables to ergonomic leather seating and professional dealers, every detail of the card room is tailored for immersive, tactile offline poker.
Dealers manage each shuffle and deal, track chip stacks and maintain a graceful game rhythm so you can stay focused on live reads and table dynamics. Formats span no-limit Texas Hold'em, pot-limit omaha, deep stack series and bounty tournaments, each with clearly communicated blind structures and chip-based buy-in.
Tableside dining ensures you never miss a hand. Signature sliders, charcuterie, and clean, knife-and-fork mains are plated for effortless enjoyment between decisions, supported by discreet beverage service throughout every session.
Thoughtfully curated amenities ensure that every visit, from a quiet social poker night to a high roller invitational, feels seamless, elevated and unmistakably offline.
