Welcome to The Grand Felt — Answers to Your Offline Poker & Dining Questions

We feature a diverse tournament calendar with No-Limit Texas Hold'em, Pot-Limit Omaha, deep stack series, and bounty events. All games use tournament chips or points and are strictly social-based with live dealers. Our dealers manage the pace, blind structure, and chip stacks at each table to keep every event smooth and enjoyable.

Each tournament has a posted chip buy-in that awards a set stack of tournament chips. These stacks, for example 30,000 chips, are used exclusively for gameplay and leaderboard points; no money or cash chips exchange hands at any table.

Different events may feature varying starting stacks, re-entry windows, and blind levels to suit deep stack specialists, short-handed play, or high roller formats. Full structures are listed on our Tournaments page.

Absolutely. Guests are welcome to savour our full dining and bar menu in the lounge or main restaurant, even if they're not participating in a poker session. Poker play is entirely optional.

No prior experience is required. Our friendly, professional dealers are always happy to explain rules, etiquette, and chip structures, making tournaments accessible for newcomers as well as seasoned players.

Beginner-friendly guidance is available before the first card is dealt, and you are welcome to ask questions at any stage. We prioritise a respectful, inclusive and relaxed environment that balances competitive offline poker with social enjoyment.
