The Centrepiece of Our Card Lounge
Our dedicated poker tables are more than furniture—they are the heart of The Aces & Ash, designed to elevate every hand dealt in our sophisticated card lounge.
The Art of the Table
Each poker table at The Aces & Ash is a bespoke creation, marrying the precision of fine furniture with the energy of a live poker room. Inspired by the geometric confidence of Art Deco architecture, our tables are designed as functional sculptures that anchor the card lounge. Solid walnut, hand-stitched leather, and brass detailing are selected not only for their beauty but for the way they age gracefully under years of face-to-face play.
From the sunburst inlays to the hand-stitched leather rails, every detail signals that this is a space for serious, physical poker. There is no screen, no digital interface—only the weight of the cards, the texture of the felt, and the presence of the players gathered around the table. The tables are a statement of intent: a commitment to the social ritual of offline poker in an environment that respects both craft and competition.
Design & Materials
Every material is chosen to support long evenings of play while reinforcing the venue's Art Deco identity.
The table bases are crafted from solid American walnut, finished with a matte lacquer that reveals the wood's natural grain. Custom brass inlays echo the venue's gold detailing, adding a geometric rhythm that feels both classic and contemporary.
The padded rail is upholstered in full-grain leather, hand-stitched by local artisans. The stitching pattern forms a subtle Art Deco motif, offering comfort for hours of play while maintaining a refined, tactile finish.
The playing surface is a custom-dyed wool blend in deep olive, providing the ideal texture for card handling and chip movement. A subtle gold pinstripe border frames the felt, complementing the venue palette and the warm glow of the room.
The Poker Room Experience
The poker room is designed for focus and camaraderie, with low lighting, acoustic panels, and tables arranged to ensure privacy while maintaining a sense of shared ritual. Warm sconces cast a soft glow over the felt, and the room's deep olive and gold paneling absorbs sound, allowing conversation and the quiet shuffle of cards to set the rhythm of the evening.

Poker Nights at the Tables
On poker nights, the tables become stages for friendly competition, with a dedicated dealer at each table and a curated playlist that keeps the energy high without distraction. The room hums with quiet intensity as players read the table, consider their next move, and share in the collective rhythm of live play.
Between hands, guests can enjoy craft cocktails and small plates from the restaurant menu, seamlessly blending dining and play in the card lounge. Table-side service keeps the focus on the game while offering a taste of the venue's culinary identity, making each poker night a complete social ritual.
"The tables at The Aces & Ash are the best I've played on in Sydney. The felt is perfect, the rail is comfortable, and the whole room feels like a step back in time—in the best way."
