Settle into low lighting, polished service and the quiet focus of the card room. Our poker nights are fully hosted, strictly in-person and designed for guests who enjoy the social side of the game as much as the play itself.
Poker at Theflopand Flame is all about atmosphere: graphite-black walls, candlelit tables, crisp cards and a room full of friendly rivalry. Join fellow enthusiasts and curious first-timers for evenings that balance skill, camaraderie and refined Australian dining.
Each night is carefully paced so you can enjoy a cocktail between hands, share small plates with the table and still keep your head fully in the game. There are no online logins, no flashing screens and no pressure to play beyond your comfort.
All participation is subject to venue rules, booking conditions and applicable Australian regulations.
From the first shuffle to the last hand, our team keeps play structured, welcoming and easy to follow, whether you are a regular at the felt or joining us for the first time.
Tournament details, including buy-ins and minimum spend, are outlined clearly before you commit to a seat. There are no surprise fees or hidden conditions.
All poker activities at Theflopand Flame take place exclusively onsite at our physical venue. We do not offer online poker, virtual gambling, remote betting or digital poker accounts.
To participate, you must be present at the club, check in with our host team and comply with identification, age and responsible-gaming checks where required.
Think of our poker nights as an elevated dinner-and-games experience: tactile chips, real conversation and the buzz of a room that lives completely offline.

You can reserve via our online reservations page or by contacting the venue directly.

Buy-ins and any associated minimum spends are set per event and communicated clearly in advance. When you enquire or book, our team will explain the format, structure and financial commitment for your chosen night so you can make an informed decision.
No. All poker at Theflopand Flame is strictly in-person at our physical venue. We do not provide online poker, virtual tables, remote gambling accounts or live-betting services. To participate, you must attend the venue on the night.
Late seating is sometimes possible, depending on the stage of the event and table capacity, but cannot be guaranteed. We recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before the advertised start time so you can check in, settle your bill preferences and meet your host.
Our approach centres on transparency, choice and care. We present all buy-ins and conditions upfront, monitor the room for signs of distress or impaired play, and support any guest who chooses to step away from the game. Where appropriate, we can refer guests to independent support services in line with Australian regulations.
Secure a table for your group, align dinner with the first deal and let our team handle the details. Whether you are a regular player or simply curious, we will make sure the night feels effortless.
