Plan your visit
The Gilde Dodds is a premium restaurant and card lounge in Australia, created for occasions that unfold face to face. Come to plan refined dining, considered food and drinks, or a table shared around offline poker and live card entertainment.
This is not the usual casino-style experience. It is a social room for conversation, hospitality and the quiet ritual of cards. Begin with an idea for a meal, a table with friends, or a card-lounge gathering, and choose the route that best suits your plans.
Choose a pathway
Whether your visit begins with a meal or a shared card-room idea, the right request gives the venue useful context without asking you to settle every detail first.
Restaurant
Use the restaurant request when refined dining, quality food and drinks are at the centre of your plans. It suits a relaxed meal, a table with friends, or a social occasion where conversation can take its time.
Share your preferred date, timing and guest count, then add any notes that would help shape the visit. Your request begins a considered hospitality conversation.
Offline poker
Use the poker enquiry for offline poker, live card entertainment, card-room plans, dedicated poker tables and social poker gatherings. It is a place to ask about joining a face-to-face session, planning a group occasion, or finding the right card-lounge format.
Tell us a little about the occasion and the atmosphere you have in mind. Dining, drinks and conversation can sit naturally alongside the card-room experience.
Both pathways begin with a submitted request or enquiry. Sharing the details that matter to your visit helps the team consider it with care; neither route is an automated confirmation.

Planning guide
There is no need to have every part of the evening decided. A little practical context helps direct your request toward the right hospitality or card-lounge conversation.
Restaurant
Choose the restaurant request when dining and drinks are the centre of your visit. Include your guest count and preferred timing so the team can understand the shape of the occasion. Those preferences are helpful context, not a guarantee of a table.
Request a restaurant tableOffline poker
Use the poker enquiry for questions about offline poker and live card entertainment. Say whether you are interested in joining face-to-face card play or learning more about the card-room experience, then share any date preference you already have.
Start a poker enquirySocial gathering
For a group occasion, an approximate group size and the kind of gathering are useful places to begin. You can mention poker tables, food, drinks and conversation as part of the plan without needing to define the whole evening in advance.
Discuss a group ideaYour details
A preferred date, a sense of timing, dining interest and card-room curiosity are all helpful. If plans are still forming, that is welcome too: a short enquiry gives the venue a clear place to begin the right conversation.
The Gilde Dodds is built around people gathering in person: cards on the table, food and drinks nearby, and conversation given room to linger. It is a sophisticated social destination, distinct from a typical casino experience, where face-to-face connection remains the point of the evening.
Card room
The card room and dedicated poker tables belong to a broader hospitality experience. Live card entertainment, refined dining and drinks can all inform the kind of occasion you are planning, without requiring every detail to be settled before you get in touch.
If your plan is still taking shape, choose a contact pathway and begin with an idea, a date preference or a group question.
Choose the next step
Whether your evening is shaped around dining, cards or conversation, choose the form that best fits. Both routes support a considered occasion at the meeting point of restaurant hospitality and social card-lounge time.
