Experience modern Australian dining and the thrill of physical poker in an intimate, clandestine setting.
Stack and Hearth is a modern Australian restaurant that celebrates seasonal produce and bold flavours in a sophisticated supper club setting. Our kitchen pairs local ingredients with confident technique, creating dishes that feel both refined and generous. The dining room hums with low light, warm service, and the quiet energy of a room built for long evenings.
Beneath the restaurant lies our Card Room, an intimate underground lounge dedicated to the timeless game of poker—played offline, with chips only, and no real money. Here, the clink of chips and the shuffle of cards replace screens and notifications. It is a physical, social space where skill, reading the table, and good company matter more than anything else.

Learn MoreAll poker at Stack and Hearth is played in person, at our tables, with real cards and chips. There is no online component. You sit across from your opponents, watch their hands, and feel the weight of every decision in a room built for the game.
We use chips exclusively—no cash, no credit, no real money. The focus is on skill, strategy, and camaraderie. Chips are simply the currency of the game, letting every player compete on equal footing without financial pressure.
There are no buy-ins, no cash prizes, and no wagering. Poker here is purely for entertainment and the love of the game. You come for the challenge, stay for the conversation, and leave with stories rather than receipts.
