Card Atrium Katherine
A refined room for live poker. The Card Lounge is the heart of Card Atrium Katherine, designed for focused, comfortable in-person poker play in a premium setting. Dark, tactile materials evoke the feel of a classic card room, while the space welcomes both serious poker players and those new to live play.
The Card Lounge is built around the ritual of live poker, with deep green felt, warm wood, and burgundy leather creating a calm, focused atmosphere. Charcoal walls and low warm lighting reduce visual noise, while seating is arranged for clear sightlines and easy conversation. Every element is chosen to help players settle into the game without distraction.
Polished timber, brass details, and leather upholstery give the lounge a sense of permanence and hospitality, avoiding casino clichés. Brass fixtures echo the Card Atrium Katherine logo mark, and there are no glossy surfaces or aggressive lighting. The result is a space that feels established, warm, and quietly confident.
The lounge is designed for evening play, with lighting that shifts from bright enough for clear card visibility to a softer glow as the night progresses. Adjustable lighting over each poker table works with ambient light from warm sconces and table lamps to create a comfortable, immersive environment for every session.
The Card Lounge hosts live poker sessions where players gather around physical tables for a genuine in-person experience. There are no screens or online play—just cards, chips, and conversation. Sessions are structured for both casual and regular players, offering a welcoming entry point for anyone who enjoys the game.
The lounge maintains a neutral format that focuses on the social and strategic enjoyment of poker, without any emphasis on gambling or monetary outcomes. Staff are trained to keep the atmosphere friendly and inclusive, and no betting amounts or winnings are discussed. The priority is the quality of the live poker experience itself.
The lounge is the setting for Card Atrium Katherine's poker nights, offering a consistent schedule for players who enjoy live poker in a premium venue. Check the Poker Nights page for upcoming sessions. The lounge is also available for private poker gatherings.
Chairs in the Card Lounge are upholstered in burgundy leather with supportive cushioning, designed for hours of comfortable play at the poker tables. The ergonomic design reduces fatigue, and spacing between tables allows easy movement without disturbing other games.
Each poker table features a deep green felt surface with a subtle texture that keeps cards in place and reduces glare under the lounge lighting. Tables are regularly maintained for a consistent playing surface, and brass cup holders and chip trays are integrated into the table design.
The lounge is designed to minimize distractions, with acoustic treatments and a service team that provides refreshments without interrupting play. Beverage service is available from the restaurant, and staff are trained to be unobtrusive so the focus stays on the game.
The Card Lounge is steps away from the restaurant, allowing guests to enjoy a meal before, during, or after their poker session. The restaurant menu features dishes designed for easy sharing, and reservations can be coordinated with lounge visits for a seamless evening.
The restaurant's warm, wood-accented interior complements the card lounge's atmosphere, creating a cohesive premium experience. Burgundy accents tie the two spaces together, and service is attentive but never intrusive, so you can move comfortably between dining and play.
The Card Lounge hosts scheduled poker nights that bring together players for live poker in a comfortable, well-appointed space. Sessions are designed for all experience levels, and the lounge's atmosphere is especially suited to evening play. Whether you are a regular or visiting for the first time, the room is ready for a focused, social game.
