Dedicated Poker Room · Surry Hills, Sydney
Sydney's Premium Offline Poker Room
Welcome to the dedicated poker room at Cardann Exemac Donnell, where serious players gather for authentic face-to-face poker in a refined, atmospheric setting.
The Room
A Space Built for Serious Poker
Our poker room is designed to eliminate distractions and elevate the game. The low ambient lighting, deep green baize, and dark wood accents create a private club atmosphere where every hand feels significant.
Professional-grade tables with custom felt and ergonomic seating sit beneath warm, directional light that reduces eye strain during long sessions. Acoustic treatments keep the room quiet, and the layout provides ample space between tables for comfort and privacy.
Designed for Face-to-Face Poker
Offline poker is about reading opponents, feeling the chips, and the shared tension of a big pot. Our room is intentionally free of digital distractions, allowing players to focus entirely on the human element of the game.
There are no screens or loud music—only the sounds of cards and chips. Professional dealers manage each table with precision and discretion, and access is limited to members and their guests to ensure a serious player base.
Premium Materials and Craftsmanship
From the custom-made poker tables to the leather chairs and brass fixtures, every detail reflects a commitment to quality. The result is a space that feels both luxurious and functional.
Tables feature high-quality felt in deep green with wooden rails and brass cup holders. Chairs are upholstered in burgundy leather for comfort during extended play, drawing inspiration from classic private card rooms in Europe and America.
Poker Tables
Professional-Grade Poker Tables
Our poker room features custom-built tables designed for optimal play. Each table accommodates up to nine players and includes features that enhance comfort and game flow.

Built-in Chip Trays
Integrated chip trays and card shufflers keep the action moving efficiently, reducing downtime between hands.
Adjustable Lighting
Directional lighting above each table is adjustable to reduce glare and keep the felt, cards, and chips clearly visible.
