Wood-Fired Grill & Social Card Lounge
Step into Australia’s premier social card club and restaurant. Experience wood-fired dining, handcrafted cocktails, and dedicated offline poker tables where strategy, poker chips, and great company come together.
The Venue
The Oak & Flop is a premium Australian gastropub and social card lounge where wood-fired dining meets the thrill of offline poker. Our venue offers a moody, luxurious speakeasy setting with dedicated poker tables, craft cocktails, and a menu built around flame-seared steaks and gourmet comfort food.
From the live acoustic warmth to the smoky grill aromas, every detail is designed for an unforgettable night. Our sound-dampened acoustic poker room features custom felt poker tables and premium poker chips, ensuring a focused yet social card-playing experience.
The Card Room
Our dedicated offline poker room features custom full-size poker tables with ergonomic leather armrests and built-in cup holders. Each table is crafted for comfort during long sessions, with premium clay poker chips that provide a satisfying weight and feel.
We host recreational poker variants including Texas Hold'em poker tables and Omaha poker sessions. Professional card dealers ensure smooth card shuffling and fair play, while our beginner-friendly poker introduction sessions welcome newcomers to the game.
Our poker play is 100% social and recreational, with tournament points and commemorative trophies instead of cash prizes. Advanced social poker leaderboards track your progress, and table-side gastropub service delivers smoked brisket, craft burgers, and beers directly to your seat.
