Reserve Your SeatAn Architectural Jewel
Art Deco Elegance
The Card Lounge is a study in Art Deco sophistication, with symmetrical lines, geometric motifs, and a palette of warm stone, antique gold, and deep olive. Custom-designed poker tables with green felt and gold accents anchor the room, while original architectural details have been preserved and enhanced. Lighting is designed to create an intimate, cinematic atmosphere that flatters both the space and the players.
A Space for Focus
Every element of the lounge is crafted to support concentration and comfort during live poker games. Acoustic treatments reduce noise for clear communication, ergonomic seating is designed for extended play, and discreet service areas allow refreshments to arrive without interruption. The result is a room that feels both luxurious and purposeful.
The Heart of Live Poker
Where the Cards Come Alive
The Card Lounge is built for the physical ritual of poker. Three pillars define the experience.
Curated Poker Nights
Regular poker nights bring together enthusiasts for friendly, competitive play. Structured schedules, professional dealers, and exclusive access for dining guests and members.
The Physical Ritual
We celebrate the tangible aspects of poker: the feel of cards, the sound of chips, and the presence of opponents. No screens or digital interfaces at the table—only physical, offline play.
A Seamless Dining Connection
From Table to Table
The Aces & Ash offers a seamless transition from exquisite dining to an evening of cards, all within the same sophisticated venue. Pre-game dinner menus are designed for poker nights, cocktail and beverage service is available in the lounge, and private dining options can be arranged for groups before play. Whether you begin with a long dinner or end with a nightcap at the table, the journey feels natural.
