Two minutes from the Octagon

We're on the city side of Cumberland Street — look for the brass lamps and the smell of charcoal. Parking's easiest on York Place after 6 pm, and the Great King St bus stops are a four-minute walk.

  • York Place car park — 3 min walk
  • Great King St stops — routes 3, 8, 14
  • Step-free entry and accessible facilities

Dress code

Smart casual works everywhere. Gatsby nights lean dressier, Sunday sessions lean comfier — nobody's checking shoes.

Age policy

Under-18s welcome in the dining room until 8 pm. After that the venue is 18+, and the poker room is 18+ always.

Dogs & dietaries

Well-behaved dogs get the courtyard tables. Coeliac, vegan, halal — flag it in the form and the kitchen sorts it.

Quick answers

Before you hit send

More questions live on the poker nights page and the events page.

Usually the same day, always within 24 hours. For tonight, call the bar — the form goes to the floor team between services.

For private events, yes — groups of 8+ can book the back room with dealers included. For weekly poker nights, seats are reserved for dining guests first.

The bar and courtyard, absolutely. The dining room usually has a couple of held-back tables too — but Friday and Saturday book out, so don't gamble on it. (Well. You know.)
