Indulge in gourmet grill gastronomy and high roller Texas Hold'em tournaments in an atmosphere of refined luxury.
Velvet Card Lounge is Melbourne's premier destination for those who appreciate the finer things: exquisite gourmet grill cuisine and the thrill of offline Texas Hold'em poker in an atmosphere of unmatched luxury. Located at 1 Crown Casino Boulevard, Southbank VIC 3006, our venue brings together a refined dining room and a private card room under one roof.
From the moment you step through our doors, you are enveloped in an ambiance of dark velvet, warm lighting, and the soft clink of chips. Our venue is designed for those who seek both culinary excellence and the strategic excitement of high-stakes poker. Whether you are here for a leisurely dinner or a focused tournament session, every detail has been considered to make your evening exceptional.
Our kitchen celebrates premium Australian produce with a menu built around open-flame grilling, rich sauces, and seasonal accompaniments.
Our grill masters prepare the finest cuts of Australian beef, lamb, and seafood over an open flame, infusing each dish with a smoky depth that complements the richness of our sauces. Expect precise temperatures, confident seasoning, and generous portions designed to satisfy after a long session at the tables.
Accompany your main course with a selection of seasonal vegetables, truffle-infused mashed potatoes, and crisp salads, all sourced from local Victorian producers. Each side is prepared to balance the intensity of the grill without competing for attention.
End your evening with a dessert that rivals the excitement of the card room: rich chocolate fondant, vanilla bean panna cotta, or a selection of artisan cheeses. Our dessert list changes with the season, but the commitment to indulgence never wavers.
