Dealer-led tables

Bistro · Card Room
An evening at the table, in every sense.

Offline poker, properly hosted
A room built for poker
Lanter Nandlot’s card room and poker lounge are made for in-person play: green felt under the hands, physical cards on the table, chips gathered close, and a focused yet sociable rhythm shared around real poker tables. Hosted sessions give the room its shape, so the poker experience feels purposeful rather than like a restaurant add-on.
Blinds and poker hands
Blinds, cards, chips, and poker hands give the evening its tactile language. The structure is visible at the felt, while the atmosphere remains social: conversation settles between decisions, then the table draws close again when the next hand begins.
Buy-in and seats
A buy-in is simply part of taking a seat in a hosted session. Seats create a place in the evening’s shared table action, with room for casual players and experienced guests to enjoy the card-room setting together.
The bistro side
Dinner before, during, and after
Lanter Nandlot is a premium bistro as much as it is a card room. Arrive for Australian dishes before the table calls, pause over something generous between the action, or settle into late-night dining when the last cards have been gathered. The bistro gives every poker-led evening a warm place to begin, regroup, and socialize throughout.

Two ways into the action
Offline poker at Lanter Nandlot can follow the sociable pace of a poker night or the more focused shape of a Texas Hold’em tournament night. Both are physical, hosted experiences built around the card room, dealers, poker tables, and the shared pleasure of taking a seat.

The whole evening
A room that changes pace
From the first cocktail to dinner, card-room concentration, and the conversation that follows, Lanter Nandlot is built to carry a full social night. Polished timber, green felt, leather, warm light, wine, and the quiet focus of the poker lounge all belong to the same physical place.
Arrive
Start with the table
Come in for an Australian restaurant evening shaped by cocktails, wine, and a meal worth lingering over. Dinner can be the destination, or the opening chapter before the card room begins to draw the room into its own measured rhythm.
Settle in
Feel the cards on the felt
In the card room, poker tables bring cards, chips, dealers, and poker hands into close focus. The table attention is real and tactile, but never detached from the social energy that makes an in-person evening feel generous.
Stay late
Leave room for one more conversation
Late-night dining gives dessert and conversation their own place after table action. It is an unhurried close to the evening: a chance to compare hands, share the room’s warmth, and socialize throughout the night at your own pace.
