"The perfect mix of dinner and games"

We booked a table for a midweek poker night and ended up staying for hours. The staff explained the rules for our beginner friends and kept the charcoal-grilled share plates coming. It felt more like a dinner party than a tournament.

Sarah · Friends night out

"Fantastic team-building idea"

Our company used Chip & Charcoal for a team dinner with social poker. No gambling, no pressure – just a fun way to get people talking. The private dining room and set menu made it really easy to host.

Daniel · Corporate dinner

"Beginner-friendly and welcoming"

I had never played poker before and was nervous, but the hosts were so patient. They walked us through each step, and we could focus on enjoying our burgers and cocktails. I'll definitely be back.
