An Australian parlour for long, lamplit evenings

Nestled in the rhythm of the Australian evening, The Lamplit Parlour is a restaurant and card lounge designed for unhurried nights. Guests arrive for dinner in a warm parlour of linen-dressed tables, soft lamps and contemporary Australian cooking, then move naturally towards an intimate card lounge and live card room.

Our dedicated offline poker experience is centred on physical poker tables, playing cards and poker chips used as tactile props, with table hosts guiding the flow of each poker evening. It is a face-to-face, screen-free way to enjoy cards alongside good food, conversation and considered hospitality.

The Lamplit Parlour in four evenings

The Parlour

The Parlour is an intimate Australian dining room made for evenings that unfold slowly. Linen-clad tables, brass-toned lamps and soft upholstery create a calm backdrop for relaxed conversation, while contemporary comfort dishes arrive at an unhurried pace. Guests are encouraged to linger over shared plates, a main course or dessert, allowing the dining room to feel like an extension of the home table. Service is attentive yet unobtrusive, guiding you through the menu and helping you shape the kind of night you have in mind.

Offline Poker

Offline poker at The Lamplit Parlour is a wholly in-person, live card experience. Guests take their seats at real poker tables with felted card surfaces, neatly arranged playing cards and poker chips used as tactile props. Table hosts oversee each poker evening, explaining formats, organising table seating and ensuring the card room remains welcoming for both seasoned players and curious newcomers. Away from screens and digital noise, the focus is on conversation, etiquette and the feel of the cards in your hands.

Card Lounge

The card lounge is the bridge between dinner in the Parlour and the card room itself. Deep chairs, small tables and low lamplight invite guests to settle in with a drink after the meal while they decide whether to move towards a poker table. Here, playing cards, chip stacks and traditional table layouts are part of the visual setting, not a rush. It is a place to talk, watch a poker night unfold and ease into the offline poker experience at your own pace.

Evening Events

The Lamplit Parlour hosts a rolling calendar of evening events that pair the restaurant with the card lounge. Themed dinners lead gently into Thursday card nights, Friday poker lounge gatherings and longer Saturday offline poker evenings in the card room. Private card-room gatherings can be arranged for groups seeking a hosted, face-to-face card experience around curated poker tables. Each event is shaped around hospitality first, with food, atmosphere and conversation setting the tone for the cards to follow.
