Ivory Marquee · Sydney
Experience the art of the grill and the thrill of Texas Hold'em in one refined venue. Dark timber, leather seating, and a moody, sophisticated atmosphere—no online betting, no monetary stakes, just chips and camaraderie.
Welcome to Ivory Marquee
Ivory Marquee is Sydney's premier destination for those who appreciate the finer things: exceptional grillhouse cuisine and the strategic thrill of offline poker. Located at 12 King Street, Sydney, our venue is a physical space only—no online component—designed for immersive, in-person entertainment. From the first wood-fired aroma to the final river card, every detail is curated for a night that feels both indulgent and intimate.
By day, the aroma of wood-fired grills fills the air; by night, the clink of chips and shuffle of cards take centre stage in our private card lounge. The restaurant and poker lounge are distinct but connected spaces, both sharing the same dark-timber, leather-seated aesthetic. Whether you arrive for a ribeye or a Texas Hold'em session, you step into a world where conversation, craft, and friendly competition set the tone.
The Offline Poker Difference
Our poker lounge is built around a simple idea: the best poker happens face to face. No online betting, no monetary stakes—just the authentic feel of cards and chips at a real table.
Our poker is purely social and strategic. You play with chips, not cash, and there is no online component—just the authentic feel of cards and chips at a real table. Chips are provided for play, there is no monetary exchange at the table, and the focus stays on skill and social interaction.
Our card lounge features professional-grade poker tables surrounded by leather seating and dark timber, creating an immersive environment that online play can't replicate. Moody, sophisticated lighting and the quiet shuffle of cards make every hand feel deliberate and alive.
We specialise in Texas Hold'em, the world's most popular poker variant, offering regular nights and sessions for all skill levels. Whether you are learning hand rankings or refining your bluff, our tables welcome beginners and experienced players alike.
Dining Experience
Our kitchen is built around open flame, premium produce, and the kind of sides and sauces that turn a great steak into an unforgettable meal.
Our chefs master the art of open-flame cooking, delivering perfectly charred steaks, lamb, and seafood with rich, smoky flavours. Premium Australian beef and lamb, seasonal seafood, and wood-fired grill techniques come together on every plate.
Complement your main with truffle mash, charred vegetables, and house-made sauces that elevate every bite. Our peppercorn and red wine reductions are made in-house daily, designed to match the richness of the grill.
An extensive wine list featuring Australian and international labels, plus classic cocktails crafted to pair with your meal. From bold Barossa shiraz to a perfectly balanced espresso martini, the bar is as considered as the kitchen.
Poker Lounge Atmosphere
Step into our card lounge and leave the outside world behind. Dark timber panelling, deep green felt, and leather chairs create an atmosphere of quiet intensity. Low, warm lighting pools over each table, while the soft sound of riffling chips replaces the noise of the city. It is a space built for reading opponents, enjoying the game, and savouring the moment.
Private and exclusive. The lounge is available by reservation only, ensuring an intimate experience with fellow enthusiasts. Limited seating keeps every session personal and unhurried.
