Events and private enquiries

Private Event Inquiries

From corporate dinners to poker-themed celebrations, our events manager curates evenings that move gracefully from shared plates to Card Lounge time and Texas Hold'em at the poker tables.

Tell us about your group, the style of atmosphere you would like and any timing you have in mind. We can help you shape a sequence that might begin with canapés on the terrace, followed by a seasonal Australian menu and a hosted offline poker night in the Poker Salon.

To begin planning, email [email protected] or explore more on our Private Events page.
