Velvet Courthouse hosts a curated calendar of offline poker gatherings, themed evenings, and social sessions in our dedicated card lounge. Events range from casual poker sessions to structured tournaments and private poker room bookings. Every gathering is designed around the tactile, atmospheric experience of playing poker at a real table, and the lounge's 1970s Australian Modernist design creates a distinctive backdrop for every event.
View Upcoming EventsJoin our regular weekly poker sessions every Thursday evening, perfect for players of all experience levels. Sessions run from 7pm to 11pm in the main card lounge. Each table seats up to eight players, with a dedicated host to guide the game. No prior experience is required; our hosts explain the rules and etiquette.
Our monthly poker tournament brings together enthusiasts for a structured evening of competitive play. Held on the first Saturday of each month from 6pm, the tournament uses a round-robin format with a final table. Winners receive a commemorative Velvet Courthouse trophy and a complimentary dining voucher.
Occasional themed poker evenings add a creative twist to the classic game, from 1970s retro nights to black-tie affairs. Themes are announced monthly and often include dress codes and special menus. Past themes have included 'Smoked Glass Soiree' and 'Dusty Teal Dealer's Choice'. Themed evenings are popular and often sell out, so early booking is recommended.
