About Showdown Supperclub
Showdown Supperclub is a contemporary Australian dining room and social club, created for long lunches, relaxed evenings, and responsibly hosted offline poker nights shared with friends and colleagues.
Our Story
Showdown Supperclub was founded by a group of hospitality professionals who grew up along Australia’s coastline, inspired by sunlit lunches, sea-breeze evenings, and the ritual of gathering around a table. They envisioned a place where modern Australian cooking, crafted drinks, and relaxed social poker evenings could sit comfortably side by side.
From the beginning, the focus was on warmth over spectacle. The dining room was designed as a calm, coastal-inspired retreat away from the rush of the city—somewhere guests could savour generous plates, unhurried conversations, and the quiet thrill of a well-hosted poker table, all under one welcoming roof.
The Heart of Hospitality
Behind every service at Showdown Supperclub is a team who have built their careers in Australia’s best restaurants, bars, and premium venues. From the front-of-house hosts who remember your favourite table to the bar team who balance classic technique with modern coastal flavours, hospitality is treated as a craft.
Our floor team is trained to read the rhythm of each occasion—whether it is a quiet mid-week dinner, a corporate gathering, or a lively poker-themed social night. Attentive without being intrusive, their role is to create a relaxed, effortless experience where every guest feels looked after from arrival to last orders.

Signature Restaurant Experience
The dining room at Showdown Supperclub blends daylight elegance with softly layered textures—warm timber, sand-toned upholstery, and subtle curves that echo the Australian coastline. Large windows invite natural light across the room, highlighting generous table spacing and a calm, uncluttered layout.
Every detail, from custom tableware to the glow of evening lighting, is curated to keep the focus on connection. The atmosphere remains firmly that of a premium restaurant and social lounge, never a casino: bright, open, and relaxed, with poker imagery appearing only in the private lounge spaces and always secondary to the food, drinks, and conversation.
Commitment to Local & Seasonal Ingredients
Our kitchen is guided by the rhythm of Australian seasons and the work of local producers. Menus are built around sustainably sourced seafood, pasture-raised meats, and farm-direct vegetables, with dishes that highlight freshness rather than excess.
We favour simple, confident cooking: bright coastal salads, wood-grilled cuts, and refined small plates designed for sharing. Vegetarian and lighter options are given the same level of care, ensuring every guest can enjoy a meal that feels balanced, considered, and distinctly Australian.

Social Poker Evenings
Showdown Supperclub hosts in-person poker evenings that are carefully curated as social, community-focused experiences. Held in an elegant private lounge, sessions are designed to encourage conversation, camaraderie, and shared enjoyment over food and drinks.
Events are run by professional hosts who prioritise a welcoming, inclusive environment. Seating is structured, rules are clearly communicated, and our team is on hand to support guests who are new to the game. The emphasis is on responsible entertainment and connection—not on high stakes or financial gain.
Community & Connection
Whether you are joining us for a quick post-work drink, a shared table with friends, or a full evening that includes a poker session, Showdown Supperclub is designed to feel like a club you belong to from your very first visit.
Long tables and flexible seating make it easy for groups to gather, while smaller corners remain available for date nights and quieter catch-ups. Regular guests often return for the same signature dishes, favourite bartenders, and the sense of community that grows naturally when people share stories across a table.
Connect with our teamEvents & Private Celebrations
From milestone birthdays and engagement parties to corporate dinners and end-of-year celebrations, Showdown Supperclub offers flexible spaces tailored to your occasion. Our team manages everything from menu design and beverage pairings to table layouts and service flow.
For groups seeking something different, we offer poker-themed social packages where a private lounge, dedicated host, and curated dining experience come together in a single, cohesive event. These experiences are built around connection and hospitality, not high-stakes play, and are carefully structured to remain inclusive and responsible.
Responsible Entertainment
Responsibility sits at the centre of every poker-related experience at Showdown Supperclub. All poker evenings are strictly 18+ and are run in accordance with relevant Australian state and territory legislation. Identification may be requested on arrival, and guests are encouraged to speak with our team if they have any questions about house rules or eligibility.
Our staff are trained to recognise and respond to signs of discomfort or unsafe play, and we promote regular breaks, balanced food and drink service, and the option to step away at any time. We do not promise, promote, or imply guaranteed financial returns or winnings—poker here is always positioned as a social game, not a pathway to profit.

Vision for the Future
Looking ahead, Showdown Supperclub will continue to evolve as a home for premium dining and meaningful social gatherings. Our focus remains on deepening relationships with local producers, refining our menu with each season, and expanding our calendar of responsibly hosted poker and community events.
We are committed to staying distinctly Australian in character—open, warm, and relaxed—while maintaining the standards of a leading hospitality venue. As our community grows, we aim to remain a place where guests feel known, looked after, and proud to bring their friends, family, and colleagues.
