Top 10 guidance

A shortlist for the whole evening

Our Top 10 and Best 10 routes are practical discovery notes for visitors deciding how to shape a visit. They connect dining, wine pairings, cards, and social play without asking you to begin with a fixed plan. Read a focused page, compare the parts of the venue that interest you, and keep the next step clear.

Start with the dining table

Use the curated dining route to get a sense of the menu-focused reading available before your visit, then keep the wine pairing notes nearby as a companion. It is a straightforward way to explore the food-and-wine side of the venue without needing to arrive with every choice already made.

Make room for the cards

The dedicated offline card lounge gives visitors a venue-based path into poker tables, chips, classic games, and shared table time. Begin with the lounge overview for the physical room, or use the Best 10 classic card games guide when you want to explore the broader card-table tradition.

Plan a social tournament night

For a more structured in-person session, the tournament route brings chip-based social tournaments into view. The schedule page is the place to check the current tournament information, while the booking page remains available when you are ready to move from planning an evening to arranging a table.

Dining notes

A dining table worth lingering over

Dining is central to the Top10shortlist venue experience: a reason to settle in, share a table, and let conversation take its time before or alongside a card-lounge visit. The dining menu page is designed as a useful reading route rather than a substitute for the venue itself, giving visitors a considered way to explore the menu recommendations before they arrive.

The wine-pairing shortlist sits alongside that route with curated pairing notes that help connect a dining choice to a considered pour. It is an easy companion when you are planning an evening around the table and want the food and wine exploration to feel joined up.

Card room

The offline card room

The card lounge is a deliberate physical part of the venue: a dedicated room with poker tables for people who value the pace, signals, chips, and conversation of gathering around a real table.

01

A room made for the table

The dedicated offline poker card room gives the card-table side of the venue its own clear place. Explore the lounge page for a closer introduction to the physical setting, poker tables, and the in-person rhythm that sits naturally alongside dining.

Classic games, kept in play

Classic card games provide another welcoming path into the wider table tradition. The Best 10 guide gives that route its own focused reading space, complementing the poker tables and making room for visitors drawn to cards beyond a single kind of session.

Venue experience

One venue, two ways to settle in

Top10shortlist is built around an in-person Australian venue experience where a dining table and a dedicated offline poker card room can belong to the same visit. The venue experience guide brings those connected paths into focus without asking you to choose only one reason to arrive.

Shared time

Gather around a real table

Dining, poker tables, classic card games, and chip-based social tournaments all make room for the value of sitting together. The emphasis is on conversation, practical hospitality, and the distinct rhythm of spending time with others in person.

Offline play

Keep the play offline

The card-room route stays grounded in physical tables, chips, and classic card culture. It gives poker tables, social tournaments, and broader card-game exploration a clear venue-based context for visitors who prefer a real table in front of them.

Practical guidance

Use the Top 10 and Best 10 routes to form a plan around the menu, wine pairings, classic games, or the tournament schedule. They are a useful way to make the next page feel relevant before you step into the venue.

Table booking

Once you have explored the dining notes, wine pairings, card lounge, or tournament route, take the next step through the dedicated booking page. Whether your visit begins with a meal, an offline card-room plan, or a social tournament on your mind, the booking route keeps the handover simple without making assumptions about availability.
