Best 10 guide

A Best 10 way to choose your night

These seven labels are simply ways to find the feel of an evening at Top 10 Choices. Start with dinner, cards, conversation or a group occasion, then make the night your own across contemporary dining, offline poker, the card room and the card lounge. They are not a rigid programme—just useful language for choosing how you would like to gather.

01

For a meal-led evening

Poker & Dinner

Begin with a proper restaurant meal, then let the conversation carry on at the poker tables or in the card lounge. Poker & Dinner keeps the whole occasion together: physical cards, familiar faces and an offline table waiting when everyone is ready to return.

02

For a familiar table ritual

Classic Card Night

Choose Classic Card Night for familiar card games and easy conversation around a shared physical table. It is an approachable way to spend time together, with cards in hand and people across the table rather than attention divided by screens.

03

Offline, face-to-face

Offline Poker Evening

Offline Poker Evening is the direct choice for people seeking real poker tables, physical cards and an in-person setting. In a bright, sophisticated room, the point is simply being present: reading the table, talking between hands and enjoying the company around it.

04

For a relaxed table mood

Cards & Cocktails

Cards & Cocktails balances the tactile pleasure of a deck on timber with drinks, shared food and a relaxed restaurant atmosphere. It is social rather than showy: a table to return to, a conversation to keep going and an evening with room to unfold.

05

For organisers

Private Poker Table

Private Poker Table gives an organiser a focused way to bring a group together around one dedicated physical table, with dining options still part of the plan. Share the kind of gathering you have in mind through the private planning path, then shape the evening around your people.

06

For familiar faces

Poker with Friends

Poker with Friends makes room for easy conversation and a pace shaped by the people at the table. Keep the cards face-to-face, then drift towards the card lounge between hands or courses when the group feels like lingering a little longer.

07

For a looser evening

Card Lounge Night

Card Lounge Night is for lounge seating, classic card games, food, drinks and conversation near the tables. It offers a gentler rhythm than a table-led evening: settle in, share a deck and let the social side of the venue set the tone.

“A table, a drink and time to talk.”

Offline by design

The table is the point

An offline poker night is about being together: cards on the table, conversation across it and a dining room close at hand. At Top 10 Choices, the card room and relaxed card lounge sit naturally alongside restaurant dining, so the evening can feel considered without becoming formal. The screen stays out of the picture; the people, food and physical table take their place.

01

Take your seat

Arrive around a real poker table or settle into the card lounge, where physical cards and conversation share the same pace. Classic card games offer another familiar reason to gather, without needing the evening to follow a prescribed script.

02

Let dinner set the pace

Keep contemporary restaurant dining within reach, so a meal, shared food and drinks can move naturally alongside the table. Whether the idea begins as Poker & Dinner or Cards & Cocktails, dining remains part of the occasion rather than an afterthought.

03

Keep it social

Make space for the people you came with: friends around a table, an organiser bringing a group together or a private evening with its own rhythm. Poker with Friends and a Private Poker Table both begin with the same useful idea—real time together.

Top 10 Choices guide

The Best 10 ingredients of a good night

This Best 10 guide is about atmosphere and planning choices, not a scorecard. A good card-table evening has room for dinner, conversation and the small rituals of physical cards. Use these prompts to turn a general idea into a gathering that feels generous, easy and worth making time for.

  1. 01

    Good company first

    Start with people who want a face-to-face evening rather than another screen-based plan. Friends, colleagues, groups and organisers can all shape the mood; the useful part is choosing people who are ready to spend real time together.

  2. 02

    A meal worth lingering over

    Build dinner into the plan so conversation begins before anyone reaches the poker tables. Contemporary dining gives Poker & Dinner a shared centre of gravity, without turning the meal into a package or a rushed prelude.

  3. 03

    The right table mood

    Choose the mood that suits the group: focused poker tables, a classic card game or a more relaxed card lounge rhythm. Each is physical and in person, but each gives the gathering a slightly different way to settle in.

  4. 04

    A pace that lets people talk

    Leave room for conversation between hands, courses and rounds of drinks. Cards & Cocktails works best when the evening is allowed to breathe, with no need to hurry people away from the table or the discussion.

  5. 05

    A room for the mood

    Let the card room suit an evening where the table is the focus, and let the card lounge suit a softer social backdrop. It is a choice of atmosphere, not a promise of separate-room arrangements.

  6. 06

    Cards in hand

    Let physical cards do their work: a shared deck, hands on the table and small rituals that cannot be replicated online. That tactile connection keeps classic card games and offline poker rooted in the people present.

  7. 07

    Something to share

    Treat drinks and shared food as part of the conversation, not a distraction from it. Restaurant offerings belong beside the table because they give people another reason to pause, talk and stay connected.

  8. 08

    A simple way to organise

    Give an organiser one clear route when the idea needs a Private Poker Table or private evening. The private planning path is the right place to share the kind of group occasion you have in mind.

  9. 09

    A date to gather around

    Choose a preferred date early, then use the reservation or enquiry path to explain what kind of night you want. It is a useful starting preference, not a statement about schedule or availability.

  10. 10

    A night people remember

    End with the simple measure of the night: people leave having eaten well, played in person and spent real time together. That combination is what makes Top 10 Choices a social venue rather than just a place to pass through.

Planning guide

Plan the table around your people

Different groups need different amounts of structure, but every good plan starts with a preferred date and a sense of what leads the evening: dinner, cards or a private table. Top 10 Choices welcomes diners, friends, groups and event organisers, with reservations and private poker evenings offering distinct ways to begin the conversation.

Dining-led

Start with dinner

For a dinner-led evening, begin with a restaurant reservation and carry the conversation towards the poker tables or card lounge afterwards. Poker & Dinner works well when the meal is the first shared moment and cards become a natural continuation of the night.

Explore reservations

Cards-led

Start with the table

For friends who want cards at the centre, describe the atmosphere you are after: an Offline Poker Evening, Classic Card Night or relaxed Poker with Friends gathering. Keep it face-to-face at physical tables, then choose your preferred date in the appropriate next step.

Group-led

Start with the gathering

For an organised occasion, use the private-table route to share your preferred date and whether a Private Poker Table or Card Lounge Night best fits the group. It is a clear way to start a private evening conversation without assuming a fixed format.

The venue rhythm

What the night makes room for

Expect a bright, respectful and social evening where dining, real tables and conversation all have room. Top 10 Choices brings together restaurant dining, a card room, a relaxed card lounge and physical poker tables in a setting that feels sophisticated without losing its ease.

In-person by design

The card table is a shared physical space: play happens face-to-face around real tables, with physical cards and conversation close by. The focus stays on the people in the room and the social ritual they create together.

Dining stays close

The restaurant remains part of the occasion, whether a meal begins the night or shared food and drinks support a lounge-led gathering. Poker & Dinner and Cards & Cocktails both keep hospitality within the flow.

More than one way to gather

Classic card games, poker tables and lounge seating each give groups a different way to spend time together. The distinction is about atmosphere: a focused table, a familiar deck or an unhurried place to talk.

Plans begin with a preference

A reservation or private enquiry starts with a preferred date and the kind of night you want to create. Begin with a reservation, or take the private route when a group-led plan comes first.
