Poker nights at Blisslume
Three nights a week, our dining room's back half turns into a small, very civilised card room — hosted tables, proper dealers, and dinner service that follows you right to the felt.
A straight answer, up front
Please note: Blisslume is not an online casino or betting platform. All poker is in-person, social, and venue-based. Nothing on this site lets you wager, deposit, or play online — the only way in is through our front door.
Dinner first, cards when you're ready
Every game night starts at the table you already know — the dinner table. You eat properly first, then the dealers take over. No apps, no screens, no rushing: it's the game the way it was meant to be played.
Check in with the host, grab a drink, find your crew. Solo players get matched to friendly tables.
Full menu available. Most people do the Long Table set menu so nobody's choosing while the clock ticks.
Five minutes on format, blinds and house etiquette. New faces get a crash course — nobody's thrown in cold.
Cards in the air. Table service keeps drinks and snacks coming without interrupting play.
Stretch, compare bad beats, order dessert. The room resets while the dealers rebalance tables.
The last hand lands around midnight. Winner gets the trophy photo, everyone else gets the rematch itch.
Pick your night
Thursday Social
The relaxed one. Mixed experience levels, chatty tables, and the kitchen's chef's menu beforehand if you book early.

Friday Deep Stack

Sunday Beginner Table
Learn the game over a long dinner. The dealer teaches, the table helps, and nobody bluffs the new person. Much.

Dinner + seat, one booking
Most guests bundle the whole evening — it guarantees your seat and saves the awkward "are we playing or eating?" group chat. All packages include the buy-in, your dinner and table-side service all night.
The Social — $75pp
Two-course dinner, Thursday Social buy-in, welcome drink. The classic first-timer package.
The High Roller — $110pp
Long Table feast, Friday Deep Stack seat, house cocktail and a spot on the season leaderboard.
Private tables
Your own dealer, your own table, your own menu — birthdays, work dos and reunions from 8 to 24 players. See private event options or ask us for a quote.
Good game, good manners
The vibe is social first, competitive second. A few simple house rules keep every table enjoyable — whether you're on your first hand or your five-hundredth.
Respect the table
No slow-rolls, no coaching mid-hand, no ribbing the person who's still learning. Our dealers keep it friendly and fair.
Phones off the felt
Quick texts are fine; scrolling through a hand isn't. The whole point is being present with real people.
18+, always
Card room entry is strictly 18 and over — bring photo ID if you're lucky enough to look under 25.
Play within yourself
Social stakes only, capped buy-ins, regular breaks. If a game ever stops feeling fun, our hosts will help you step back.
