Table booking

A table for dining, cards, or both

Top10shortlist is an Australian physical dining venue where a considered table request can begin with dinner, a visit to the dedicated offline poker card room, or a social gathering around poker tables, classic card games, chip-based social tournaments, and wine pairings. Tell us what you would like your visit to centre on, then share your preferred details. This page helps you send a request; it does not claim an immediate or confirmed seating.

Reservation request

Request your table

Use this form to record the preferred details for a table request at the physical venue. A request helps the venue understand your plans for dining and any offline card-lounge context; it is not a statement that a date, time, table, card-room arrangement, or social tournament place has been confirmed.

Required fields are marked.

Your details

Please provide a name and email address so the venue can understand who has made the request and use the details supplied to respond. A phone number is optional if you would like to include it.

Select a preferred date and time, then indicate the size of your party. These are preferences supplied for review and do not display or confirm venue availability.

Shape the visit

Choose the main focus for your request. You can use the notes field for accessibility, celebration, dietary, group, seating, dining, card-lounge, classic-game, or tournament-schedule context. Sharing context helps the venue understand the visit; it does not promise a particular table, card-room arrangement, or social tournament access.

Choose the focus that best describes your visit. This context helps the venue review your preferred details.

Notes Optional

Please do not include sensitive personal details. Notes provide context for your request and do not create a confirmed arrangement.

By sending this request, I ask the venue to review my preferred details. I understand that submitting this form is a request, not a confirmation. See the Privacy Policy for more information.

Plan the table

Begin with the table

Dining can be the centre of a request, with Top10shortlist’s curated Top 10 and Best 10 perspective offering useful inspiration before you write your notes. Explore the dining menu or wine-pairing pages if they help you frame the occasion. They are planning resources rather than a promise that a particular menu or pairing will form part of a request.

Planning note

Let the occasion lead

Whether the table is for an unhurried meal, a shared dining moment before cards, or a social gathering, describe the focus in your request. The recommendations can help you decide what you would like to explore without turning inspiration into an assumed inclusion.

Top 10 wine pairings

If wine planning matters to the occasion, the Top 10 Wine Pairings page offers editorial pairing inspiration to consider alongside your dining request, without making assumptions about stock or service arrangements.

Visit context

Dining and the offline card lounge

Dining and the dedicated offline card-room setting can inform the same visit request. Use the form’s focus and notes fields to describe what matters to your group, while keeping the distinction clear: a dining request does not automatically allocate a poker table, classic game, social tournament place, or private card-room use.

Offline setting

A dedicated card-room setting

The card lounge is a dedicated offline poker card room for in-venue social play. Its context includes poker tables and classic card games, offering a distinct part of the Top10shortlist experience alongside dining. If that setting is relevant to your visit, mention it clearly so the request reflects the kind of occasion you are planning.

Social play

Social tournament interest

Top10shortlist also includes chip-based social tournaments in its offline card-room context. If a social tournament is part of what you are exploring, say so in the request notes after reviewing the dedicated schedule. Sending a table request does not enter a tournament or secure participation; it simply gives the venue a fuller picture of your preferred visit.

Useful context

Top 10 tips for a shared table or social gathering

For a group, the optional notes field is the best place to add the context that helps the venue understand the occasion. A few practical details can make the request more meaningful without assuming special arrangements, private use, particular seating, or a defined event package.

Tell us if dining is the focus. Mention whether the meal is the central part of the shared table.

Tell us if the card lounge matters. Note when the dedicated offline card-room setting is relevant to the visit.

Tell us about classic-game interest. This helps frame a social card-focused occasion without assuming a game is reserved.

Tell us if you are exploring social tournaments. Add schedule-related context after reviewing the dedicated tournament page.

Tell us any practical occasion context. You may mention celebration, accessibility, dietary, seating, or broader group considerations.

Bring the details together

Use the notes field to bring the dining and social context together with your preferred date, time, and party size. Those details help shape a considered request for review.

Tournament discovery

Looking for a social tournament?

Visitors specifically interested in chip-based social tournaments can consult the dedicated Tournament Schedule before framing a table request. The schedule and the request serve different planning needs: one helps you explore the current social tournament context, while the other lets you share preferred dining and visit details with the venue. Neither route by itself confirms participation or a table.

Explore the schedule

Review the Tournament Schedule for current discovery before deciding what context to mention.

Note it in your request

Request status

What happens after you send a request

Submitting this form sends a booking request for the physical venue using the preferred details you provide. It is a clear way to communicate what you are hoping to arrange, but it is not instant confirmation of a table, dining choice, card-lounge use, classic game, wine pairing, or social tournament access.

Your preferences

Your preferred date, time, party size, visit focus, and optional notes help the venue review the request. They communicate what suits your plans and the context that matters to your visit; they do not guarantee that any preferred detail can be arranged.

Next communication

The venue can use the contact details you provide to respond to the request. Please make sure your name and email address are accurate. No particular response method or timing is stated on this page.

Experience context

Dining, the offline card lounge, classic card games, and chip-based social tournament interest can all be useful context. Include what is relevant, while recognising that these interests remain part of a request until later communication provides any clarification.
