The Aces & Ash · 1 Martin Place, Sydney
Join us for an intimate evening of live poker in our elegant card lounge, where the clink of glasses and the shuffle of cards set the rhythm. Begin with refined dining, then settle in for face-to-face play in a room designed for the ritual.
The Ritual
Guests are greeted with a glass of champagne and escorted to the card lounge, where the ambiance is set with low lighting and Art Deco details. The transition from restaurant to lounge is deliberate: conversation softens, the room warms, and the evening finds its tempo.
Play begins at dedicated poker tables with professional dealers, focusing on the social and strategic aspects of live poker. Texas Hold’em and other classic variants are dealt face-to-face, with no screens, no timers, and no rush.
Throughout the evening, guests can enjoy a curated menu of small plates and cocktails, served tableside without interrupting play. The restaurant’s culinary excellence remains present in every course, from delicate starters to late-night pours.
The Setting
Our poker room is a sanctuary of concentration, featuring custom-built poker tables, comfortable seating, and subtle lighting that enhances the game. The tables are finished with deep green felt and antique gold trim, while the room’s acoustic treatment keeps play quiet and considered. It is a space where the architecture of the venue and the discipline of the game meet.
The Games
The most popular poker variant, known for its strategic depth and exciting community card play. Each player receives two private cards before five shared cards are revealed across the table. It is suitable for all skill levels and sets the pace for most evenings.
A variant with four hole cards, offering more action and bigger pots, favored by experienced players. Because every hand must use exactly two private cards and three community cards, Omaha rewards careful reading and bold decision-making.
A classic poker game that requires memory and observation, adding a traditional touch to the evening. With no community cards, players must track exposed cards and anticipate hidden strength. It is less common but deeply appreciated by purists.
