The Speakeasy Vibe

Step off Foveaux Street into a dimly lit, industrial space where the clink of glasses mingles with the shuffle of cards. The restaurant and bar at Pokerknoll Capeyork is designed as a speakeasy retreat for those who appreciate the tactile pleasures of both poker and dining.

Matte asphalt walls and cold steel edges frame intimate amber pools of light. Felt textures echo the cardroom aesthetic without overpowering the room. It is a place for low conversation, considered drinks, and food that rewards attention.

Connected to the Cardroom

The bar sits adjacent to the dedicated poker room, allowing players to move seamlessly between the felt and the bar. Whether you are taking a break from a tournament or waiting for a seat, the atmosphere keeps you in the game.

  • Direct access to the poker room
  • Screens showing live poker action
  • Comfortable seating for between-hand breaks

Poker room hours: 17:00 – 04:00
