The Oak & Flop
Wood-Fired Dining & Social Poker
Experience the primal allure of wood-fired cooking paired with the refined tension of a social poker lounge. This is a premium Australian gastropub with a moody, luxurious speakeasy setting, dedicated offline poker tables for recreational play, and table-side service with custom poker chips.
Wood-Fired Philosophy
The Ember's Kiss
Our wood-fired grill imparts a smoky depth that elevates every cut, from premium steaks to handcrafted burgers. The kitchen works with slow-burning embers sourced from sustainable Australian hardwoods, building an even heat that creates a signature char and deep caramelization without overpowering the produce.
Craftsmanship in Every Dish
Our chefs blend classic technique with modern Australian flair, ensuring each plate is a masterpiece. Locally sourced produce, seasonal menu rotations, and careful attention to plating turn familiar dishes into a refined gastropub experience that feels both generous and precise.
- Sustainable Australian hardwoods for a clean, aromatic burn
- Slow-burning embers for even heat and consistent char
- Signature caramelization on steaks, burgers, and vegetables
- Locally sourced produce with seasonal menu rotations
- Plating designed for both visual impact and easy sharing
