Dinner, then the cards decide

A monthly tournament evening that starts at our table and ends at theirs — dinner, buy-in and hosted play under one booking.

From $160 One evening 1–8 guests
  Overview

The evening with a real stake in it

Once a month we run the evening properly: dinner at Level 19, a walk down to the felt, and a seat in a hosted tournament with the buy-in already sorted. Players of all levels are welcome — the format is gentle, the company is not boring.

Non-players eat, watch and enjoy the rail. Private tables can be bought out for groups who'd rather play each other than the field.

    I came for the dinner and stayed for four hours of cards I barely understood. Best night of the trip.
