Explore the current menuOn Saturday and Sunday nights, The Copper Chance leans fully into its lounge side: group tables, glow-lit lamps, soft poker chips as table accents and an easy hum of card play at the heart of the restaurant.
Book with mates, bring the family or roll in after an afternoon in the city. Our team will match you with a table that suits your vibe – full focus on the cards, or cards as a background to long chats and slow courses.
Plan your weekend visitPerfect for birthdays, work groups or milestone catch-ups, our private poker sessions blend a dedicated card table with relaxed restaurant service.
Reserve a corner of the lounge or a semi-private space for your group. Our hosts will welcome you, walk everyone through the format and keep the evening moving with clear, friendly guidance. Decorative chips and beautifully presented card decks set a playful tone, with no cash, prizes or pressure.
Pair your session with a shared feast, a set menu or roaming platters. We tailor pacing so dishes arrive between hands rather than over the top of them.

Gather for card-led evenings where the real focus is on community connection. We partner with local causes and use poker-inspired formats purely for fun, with awareness and conversation at the heart.
