Venue overview

A contemporary restaurant & Card Lounge, all to yourself

Experience tailored hospitality for corporate dinners, celebrations and intimate card-room suppers where guests move naturally from shared plates to social poker.

Private Events at Kiwii Games centre on the pleasure of gathering in person. Guests arrive through a moody laneway entrance into a warm dining room, then drift into the Card Lounge as poker tables are prepared for an evening of offline poker, conversation and Melbourne-style late-night suppers.

Every event is designed to feel like an elegant private club: real poker tables dressed in deep green felt, stacks of poker chips, tangible playing cards and a softly lit Poker Salon that encourages face-to-face poker rather than screens.

Spaces

Venue exclusivity & Poker Salon atmosphere

Host a night in architecturally dramatic spaces that shift from supper club to intimate card room as the poker tables are revealed.

Venue Exclusivity

Enjoy the privacy of an architecturally dramatic dining space and a dedicated Poker Salon, reserved solely for your guests. Tall stone surfaces, dark timber and deep forest-green accents frame a room built for genuine conversation and social poker nights.

With the restaurant and Card Lounge operating as one continuous space, guests can settle in over cocktails, step across to the card room for Texas Hold’em, then return to the long stone table for a final shared plate or nightcap.

Poker Salon Atmosphere

Bask in dramatic shadows, soft reflections and the cinematic glow of carefully layered lighting. The Poker Salon is tuned for quiet focus and face-to-face poker: velvet seating pulled close to the table, polished timber rails, and a subtle haze catching the light above the green felt.

Nothing flashes or distracts. There are no screens, no online play—only the rhythm of real cards, offline poker tables and the atmosphere of an intimate card lounge at night.

Dining

Tailored menus & modern Australian dining

Collaborate with our culinary team to design a bespoke menu that complements your card-room plans. Begin with arrival snacks and cocktails, settle into shared plates and seasonal mains, then close with desserts served as the final hands are played.

Think premium seafood, charcoal-grilled meats, native Australian ingredients and warm ivory table settings that glow against the charcoal room. Curated wine pairings and crafted cocktails carry the evening from first toast to late-night supper.

It is a ritual for those who savour Melbourne’s late-night hospitality: stories from the card room, a final drink, and the glow of the Poker Salon still visible just beyond the dining room.
