Card Lounge Basics
The card lounge is a dedicated space within Cardroom Kitchen for social, face-to-face poker and card games. It is a friendly environment for playing poker with chips, not for gambling. No real-money betting, payouts, or prizes are involved. The lounge features dedicated poker tables and a relaxed atmosphere where guests can enjoy the ritual of the game alongside great hospitality.
No experience is necessary. Our hosts are happy to teach beginners the basics. Sessions are casual and welcoming for all skill levels. Staff can explain rules and etiquette before play, and you can watch a game before joining to get comfortable with the flow.
Yes, we use high-quality poker chips for all card lounge sessions. Chips are provided for social play and have no monetary value. They are sanitized between sessions, and no real currency is used at the tables.
