Surry Hills bistro and Card Room
Flop And Char Coal is a contemporary Australian bistro made for generous food, good conversation and a considered night out. Beyond the dining room sits a dedicated physical Card Room: a stylish poker lounge for social, in-person poker inside the restaurant.
Every game is physical entertainment, played in person with chips only. There is no online gambling or betting here.
One venue, your pace
Come in for the bistro, stay for the room, or make an evening of both. The shift from daylight table to card table is part of one hospitable, on-site experience.
01
Settle around a contemporary bistro table for food, conversation and an unhurried catch-up. The dining room stands on its own for a long lunch or lively evening meal; cards are never a condition of enjoying the room. Start with the restaurant, follow the pace of your group, and let the night take shape from there.
See the restaurant02
Inside the restaurant, the dedicated Card Room becomes a social poker salon with real tables, cards, chips and people around the felt. It is a physical room, not a remote service: staff, conversation and the energy of the venue stay close while guests gather for in-person play in a composed lounge setting.
Visit the poker lounge03
Pair a meal with a poker night, linger in the lounge atmosphere, or simply come for dinner with friends. In-person poker is optional, social and entirely offline. Wherever the evening lands, play uses chips only, leaving room for the food, the table talk and the people you came with.
Find your way to the room
The bistro, in full colour
Flop And Char Coal keeps the table at the centre of the room: open, generous and ready for a long lunch or an evening that gathers momentum. Daylight brings texture across timber and plates; later, the same warmth makes space for a lively table without rushing the conversation.
Menu
Dining is the reason to gather, whether it comes before a session, after the Card Room, or is the whole plan. Explore the menu when you are ready, then choose the kind of evening that suits your table.
Considered details, warm timber and bright-to-evening atmosphere give every group room to settle in. There is no fixed script for a visit: take your time, share the room and let the pace stay yours.
Offline only
A dedicated physical Card Room sits inside the restaurant for guests who enjoy the ritual of gathering around a poker table. This is a stylish card lounge and poker lounge, shaped by timber, cobalt shadow and the easy conversation of a shared room—not casino spectacle. Come through from dinner, meet your group there, or let the room be one part of a longer on-site night.
Discover the Poker LoungePlay is tangible and social: cards in hand, people across the felt and chips only at every table. The chips-only format keeps the focus on hosted, physical play and the company around it.
Flop And Char Coal does not offer online gambling, betting or sportsbooks. There are no deposits, withdrawals, cash winnings or monetary values represented here. Poker is physical entertainment inside the restaurant, played in person with chips only.
A simple house guide
Everything begins on site. The practical details are kept clear so visitors can focus on the room, the people and the kind of evening they want to have.
01
Come to the restaurant in person and make the evening your own. Start with dining, spend time in the lounge, or combine both in a way that suits your group. Poker remains an on-site, face-to-face part of the venue.
02
Poker tables are where organised social play happens, including Texas Hold’em where scheduled. Poker nights and poker events belong to the venue programme, so see what is on for the current format rather than relying on a fixed calendar.
Explore Texas Hold’em03
All play is conducted with chips only. That creates a clear non-monetary table experience, with no stated monetary values attached to play. The focus stays on cards, table etiquette and time together in the room.

If you need practical participation guidance, ask the team about the buy-in for a format. It is not a deposit, withdrawal, wager or cash-winning mechanism, and no monetary values are presented through this site. The team can help point you towards the relevant on-site experience.

Poker
night
Poker nights are a reason to gather around real tables after, alongside or independently of a restaurant visit. They leave room for beginners, regulars and social groups to share a physical room, with current programme details found in the relevant venue information.
High roller energy, hospitality first.
A poker event belongs to the same setting as food, service and a warm room full of people—not an online platform. The phrase is about a big-hearted night out, never a financial tier. There are no online games, betting, sportsbooks, cash winnings or monetary values here.
Across the day
Dining can be the whole plan. For those who want it, in-person poker adds another social rhythm without taking the restaurant out of the picture. See the interior.
The bright, open mood is made for a meal and easy conversation. A shared table, the texture of food and the generous pause between plans give the bistro its own rhythm, whether your visit is brief or stretches into the afternoon.
Offline only
As the room warms, the physical poker salon gathers people around its tables while the restaurant remains close at hand. It is strictly offline poker inside the restaurant: cards, faces and conversation across the felt. Chips only.
The offline promise
All poker at Flop And Char Coal is physical entertainment that happens only inside the restaurant. Offline poker means gathering in the Card Room, taking a place at a real table and sharing the experience with people in the room—not logging in from elsewhere.
There is no online gambling, betting or sportsbooks. There are no deposits or withdrawals. There are no cash winnings or monetary values. These exclusions are part of a plain, practical promise: this is not an online service and it does not represent financial play.
