Step into the Poker Lounge, a dedicated space designed for serious offline poker in the heart of Braddon. Here, the atmosphere is as important as the cards. Dark timber, deep green baize, and burgundy leather create a focused environment for live poker, while the low light keeps every hand intimate and deliberate.

Book a Poker NightThe Poker Lounge is not just a room; it is a carefully considered environment where every detail supports the game. Low, warm lighting reduces glare on cards and chips, allowing players to focus on the table without distraction. Acoustic panels and heavy drapery absorb sound, keeping conversations and card shuffles intimate rather than echoing through the space.
The color palette of charcoal, deep green, and burgundy is inspired by classic card rooms, creating a timeless feel that removes the noise of the outside world. This is a place built for concentration, where the tactile rhythm of offline poker can unfold naturally.
Each seat is a burgundy leather chair with armrests, designed for long sessions at the poker table. Chairs are spaced to allow easy movement without crowding, and the leather is chosen for both comfort and durability, with a subtle sheen under the brass lamps.
Poker tables are positioned to create distinct playing areas while maintaining a sense of connection. Tables are arranged in a loose cluster, allowing players to see across the room without distraction. Each table has its own overhead brass lamp, creating a pool of light that defines the playing space.
The lounge is intentionally not overcrowded, with space between tables and a small bar area for refreshments. The bar offers non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, served in glassware that fits the lounge's aesthetic. A small lounge area with sofas provides a place to step away between hands.
The Poker Lounge is the heart of live poker at Poker Cellar Long Reach, hosting regular games that bring together players who appreciate the craft of the game. Unlike online poker, the lounge offers the tactile experience of handling cards and chips, reading opponents, and enjoying the social rhythm of the table. The lounge is used for both casual poker nights and more structured events, always with a focus on the game itself. The atmosphere encourages concentration and camaraderie, making it a preferred poker venue in Canberra.
"The cards are only half the game; the room tells the other half."
Upon arrival, you are greeted by the warm glow of brass lamps and the quiet murmur of conversation.

As the night progresses, the lounge's atmosphere deepens, and the focus sharpens until the final hand is played.
The Poker Lounge is the primary setting for our poker nights, where players of all levels gather for an evening of in-person poker. Poker nights are scheduled regularly and offer a structured yet relaxed environment. The lounge's design ensures that every player has a comfortable seat and a clear view of the table.
View Poker NightsThe Poker Lounge is steps away from our restaurant, allowing you to enjoy a meal without leaving the game for long. Our menu features dishes designed for easy eating at the table, from share plates to hearty mains. You can order from the lounge and have your meal delivered, or take a break and dine in the restaurant. The restaurant's warm wood and burgundy accents echo the lounge's design, creating a seamless transition.
