Leather Lounge Chairs
Deep burgundy leather chairs offer support for long poker sessions. Ergonomically designed for hours of comfortable play, they are arranged in small clusters for conversation and observation.
The Card Lounge
A dedicated space for offline poker, designed for focus and comfort. Part of Poker Foyer Light Ningridge at 18 Lonsdale Street, Braddon, it combines the atmosphere of a serious card room with the warmth of a lounge.
Explore the LoungeA Room Built for Live Play
The card lounge is where the ritual of live poker comes alive. It is designed for focused play with comfortable seating and proper lighting, and it fosters the social interaction that defines in-person poker.
Adjacent to the poker tables, the lounge allows seamless transitions between relaxed conversation and the concentration of a live hand. It is the gathering point that gives an offline poker evening its shape.
Low Light, Warm Wood, Deep Felt
The card lounge is a study in restrained luxury. Deep charcoal walls and forest green felt accents create a nocturnal mood, while warm oak tables and burgundy leather chairs add hospitality.
- Brass fixtures provide subtle, focused lighting over each seating area.
- Seating clusters allow for private conversations and group play.
- Acoustic treatments keep the room quiet enough for serious card play.
Sightlines to the poker tables maintain connection to the action, so the lounge never feels detached from the evening's play.
Every detail, from the card-corner notch in the logo to the brass table edges, reinforces the poker identity. The space feels like a private club, not a public hall.
Seating and Comfort
High-Top Tables
Oak high-top tables provide a casual perch for drinks and quick games. Ideal for informal poker discussions or waiting between sessions, they feature brass foot rails for a refined touch.
Quiet Corners
Secluded nooks allow for private conversations or focused study. Acoustic panels reduce ambient noise, and soft lighting creates a calm atmosphere away from the main flow of the room.
Steps from the Felt
The card lounge is directly adjacent to the main poker table area. A short walk lets players transition from relaxed lounge seating to focused play, and the lounge offers a place to regroup between poker sessions.
- Spectators can comfortably watch the action from the lounge's edge.
- The short distance keeps the rhythm of a poker night intact.
- Players can step away without leaving the atmosphere of the venue.
Service Without Interruption
The card lounge offers discreet table service for drinks and light fare. Staff are trained to serve without disturbing play, and a curated selection of beverages complements the evening atmosphere. The full restaurant menu is available in the adjacent dining room — explore the restaurant.
Before, During, and After
The card lounge is integral to the rhythm of a poker night. Guests gather in the lounge before play begins, and during breaks it offers a place to relax and discuss hands.
- Guests gather in the lounge before the first deal.
- Breaks become a chance to compare notes and recharge.
- After the final hand, the lounge becomes a place to wind down.
Two Distinct Spaces
The Card Lounge
A relaxed, social space for conversation and comfort. It is where guests settle in, share a drink, and enjoy the atmosphere before or after play.
The Poker Lounge
More focused on active play and observation of poker tables. It is designed for guests who want to stay close to the action throughout the evening.
Both are essential to the full in-person poker experience at Poker Foyer Light Ningridge.
