We read it

Whoever's on shift picks up the inbox between prep and doors. Table request, poker seat, a birthday for fourteen — it lands with a person.

We call or write back

Left us a number? We ring. Otherwise the reply comes by email. Either way a person gets back to you, quicker once the kitchen's open.

You come in

We hold the table or your spot at the poker table, and that's it. Say your name at the door and we take it from there.

While you wait

A few pages worth a look

You messaged us for one reason. Fair enough. Most people open one of these next.

Tonight at a glance

If you were heading over anyway

Plenty of messages boil down to "can we just show up?" Mostly, yes. The week looks like this.

Towey St

Kitchen hours

Wednesday to Sunday, 5pm till 11pm. Walk-ins work most nights; Friday and Saturday the dining room fills early, so ringing ahead is smart.

Card-room hours

The poker room runs Thursday to Saturday, first cards at 7pm. We keep a couple of seats for walk-ins, and it's 18+ beyond the dining room.

The room

Where you'll end up

Dining room up front, poker room out the back. One building, one bar.

Dining room tables set before evening service — the front room

Chips spread across green poker felt mid-game — poker night, mid-hand

Photos never quite catch the low lighting in here. Come see it in person, or read how the club came together.
