The Hidden Parlour brings contemporary Australian dining, handcrafted drinks and welcoming hosted Offline Poker together in one discreet restaurant and poker venue. Gather a celebration, a team or a social group around the table, in the Card Lounge, or simply around the plans that suit your evening.
Share the shape of your occasion and the team can discuss details around your group’s plans.
Every private function starts with an occasion, not a fixed package. Begin with the atmosphere you want to create, then use your enquiry to describe the people, the purpose and the parts of the evening that matter most.
For birthdays, reunions and group dining, a private evening can unfold from welcome drinks into a shared table and contemporary Australian cuisine. Keep the focus on the meal, or leave room to linger afterwards. Tell us about the occasion, the group and any preferences in your enquiry, then explore the current seasonal direction on the menu.
For teams
Bring a team together somewhere that feels less formal than a standard meeting room. Hosted dining, drinks and a shared in-person activity can each play a part, without needing to follow one prescribed format. Use the enquiry to describe the purpose of the gathering, your preferred atmosphere and the timing you have in mind.
A cocktail reception creates a polished, conversation-led way for guests to arrive, mingle and settle into the room. Handcrafted drinks can sit alongside dining or a Card Lounge experience if that suits the occasion. Let us know the feel you are aiming for and whether you would like the evening to remain mobile or move towards a shared table.
Discuss a receptionA private evening may begin with a shared meal, continue with handcrafted drinks, or stay entirely focused on dining. Contemporary Australian cuisine gives the occasion an easy centre of gravity, while the rhythm around it remains yours to describe rather than a fixed sequence.
ArriveGather over a first drink and ease into the room.
DineMake a long-table meal or group dining the heart of the occasion.
LingerContinue the conversation, or discuss a card experience if it feels right.
Offline Poker at The Hidden Parlour is relaxed, in-person social card play in the Card Lounge. It is a distinctive option for groups who are curious to try something together, as well as established social players who enjoy good conversation around Poker Tables. Felt, warm light and an unhurried room set the tone; beginners are welcome to raise the kind of experience they would feel comfortable exploring.
Keep the evening dining-led, card-led or combine both for a birthday dinner, team gathering or celebration. The choice is part of the conversation, never a compulsory format.
