Experience the art of social poker in an atmosphere of understated luxury. Gilded Marquee hosts regular poker evenings where guests gather around real tables, guided by professional hosts, and enjoy exceptional food and drink. No online platforms, no screens—just cards, chips, and conversation.
Book Your SeatPoker at Gilded Marquee is a social evening designed around conversation, hospitality, and the tactile pleasure of a well-run game. It is not a casino night, and it is not an online platform.
Every poker night is guided by experienced hosts who manage the flow of play, explain rules, and ensure a welcoming environment for beginners and seasoned players alike. Hosts facilitate games and answer questions, with no pressure to play at a certain level.
We provide authentic poker tables, quality cards, and clay chips for an immersive tactile experience. There are no screens, no software, and no online components—just the satisfying feel of a well-run game. Chips are used for recreational play only.
Poker nights are seamlessly paired with our seasonal menu and curated beverage list. Enjoy share plates, mains, and cocktails delivered to your table as you play, making the evening as much about gastronomy as about cards.

A typical poker night unfolds in four relaxed stages, with plenty of time for conversation, dining, and enjoying the room.
Guests are greeted at the door and shown to the poker lounge. Hosts provide a brief orientation, explain the evening's format, and answer any questions. Check-in with your host, receive an orientation for new players, and settle into your assigned seat.
Play proceeds in relaxed sessions with breaks for dining and socialising. Hosts manage the pace, ensure fair play, and keep the atmosphere convivial. Multiple short sessions allow everyone to enjoy the game without pressure.
Throughout the evening, guests can order from a dedicated poker-night menu featuring share plates, mains, and beverages. Service is designed to be unobtrusive, with non-alcoholic options always available.
The evening concludes with a final session, after which guests are welcome to linger in the lounge or bar. Hosts thank everyone and provide information on upcoming nights.
Reserving a place is straightforward. We recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred night.
A few practical details help ensure a smooth entry and a comfortable evening for everyone.
We encourage smart casual attire to match the refined atmosphere. Think collared shirts, elegant dresses, and polished footwear. Please avoid sportswear, singlets, and thongs.
All poker night guests must be 18 years or older. Valid photo ID may be requested upon entry, so please bring a driver's licence, passport, or proof-of-age card.
Our poker nights are built on respect, comfort, and the simple enjoyment of the game.
Poker at Gilded Marquee is purely recreational. There is no wagering, no monetary prizes, and no financial risk. Chips are provided for play and hold no cash value. We encourage guests to play for enjoyment and social connection, subject to venue rules and applicable Australian laws.
Upon arrival at 12 King Street, you'll be welcomed by our host team and directed to the poker lounge. After a quick ID check if required, you'll be shown to your table, introduced to your host, and offered a beverage while you settle in. The lounge is warm, low-lit, and designed to make you feel immediately at ease.
Our kitchen prepares a selection of dishes designed for easy enjoyment at the poker table. From share plates to hearty mains, you can dine without missing a hand. A full beverage menu, including cocktails and non-alcoholic options, is available throughout the evening.
Whether it's a birthday, corporate event, or simply a night with friends, we can create a private poker experience tailored to your group. Choose your date, format, and dining preferences, and our team will handle the rest. Private tables, customisable menus, and dedicated hosts are available for groups of all sizes.
