Explore The Card LoungeDining Etiquette In The Card Room
Offline poker thrives on clear etiquette. Our dining guidelines keep the focus on fair play, clean felt and comfortable guests, whether you are joining your first beginner-friendly session or settling in at a seasoned high roller table.
Balancing Plates, Chips & Poker Hands
Plates and glassware are placed to keep chip stacks and betting lines clear. We recommend using the dedicated dining rails for share plates, keeping the centre of the felt reserved for cards, blinds and table action.
Between hands, our team can discreetly adjust settings so that nothing interferes with dealing, shuffling or reading the board.
Working With Betting Round Breaks
In the main card room, service follows the structure of Texas Hold'em and other classic games. Orders are usually taken between hands, while mains and desserts are best timed for scheduled breaks in offline tournament formats.
Dealers and waitstaff coordinate signals so plates never land mid-hand or distract from a crucial decision.
Card Lounge Courtesy
We encourage guests to keep napkins, cutlery and phones off the felt, and to use the side rails for drinks. This preserves the clean, focused aesthetic of the poker tables and keeps play smooth for everyone at the table.
