A clandestine cocktail program crafted for intimate suppers, offline poker lounge gatherings, and chip stack rituals around leather poker tables in Brisbane.
Table-side cocktail service is available for offline poker lounge sessions and private card room experiences.
Cocktail Program
Experience the clandestine atmosphere of Knave & Kitchen with signature cocktails composed for velvet booths, hushed conversations, and the glow of the hidden offline poker lounge.
Each signature pour is crafted behind velvet curtains, balancing classic technique with speakeasy theatrics. Expect obsidian silhouettes, aromatic twists, and slow-built layers designed for card lounge pacing.
Drinks designed to rest easily beside leather poker tables without overpowering focus or conversation.
Lower-tempo cocktails for lengthy offline poker lounge evenings, measured to match chip point rituals.
Speakeasy signatures kept off the main list and introduced by the team for regular members.
Artisan Mixology
Discover the techniques that distinguish our cocktail program: infused spirits, smoked tinctures, and glassware prepared with the same precision we bring to chip stack arrangements and card room etiquette.
House infusions draw on local botanicals from Queensland, layering complexity into stirred and shaken builds that feel tailored to the intimacy of the card lounge.
Subtle smoke is introduced tableside, never overwhelming the room, but adding theatre to chip point celebrations and well-earned pauses between hands.

Each offline poker lounge night features exclusive cocktail pairings inspired by classic card games, felt table rituals, and the quiet prestige of private club lounges.

Bar & Card Room Atmosphere
Step into obsidian black and deep burgundy, where the speakeasy bar and hidden card room merge under ambient light. Every cocktail is framed by metallic accents and the quiet geometry of leather seating and poker tables.
Designed for both culinary and card-led evenings
Our bar top extends its line of sight towards the offline poker lounge, ensuring every cocktail pour and mocktail garnish feels part of the same secret narrative. Burgundy velvet, gold-toned detailing, and low-slung lighting maintain continuity from booth to felt table.
Hidden Menu Access
For those who frequent the offline poker lounge and speakeasy dining room, a hidden ledger of bespoke drinks waits beyond the visible list.
Table-Side Cocktail Service
For groups reserving both speakeasy seating and access to the offline poker lounge, we provide immersive table-side cocktail presentations built around chip stack ceremonies and card-led pacing.
Begin the evening with a curated flight of small-format cocktails or mocktails, introduced before the first card is drawn.
Low-distraction table service ensures cocktails arrive quietly between hands, keeping focus on the offline poker lounge flow.
Close the evening with warm-spirited nightcaps or zero-proof night-enders, matched to the tone of the table.
Zero-Proof Indulgence
Our zero-proof program mirrors the depth and ceremony of our full-strength cocktails, ensuring every guest can participate in the speakeasy and card room atmosphere.
Built for felt table gatherings and late-night conversation
Zero-proof cocktails are constructed with the same level of balance and theatre as the rest of our list, using clarified juices, house syrups, and complex bitters to stand confidently beside any leather poker table.
Perfect for extended offline poker lounge nights
Designed for clarity and stamina, these drinks keep guests grounded while still matching the mood of the hidden card room, from early hands through to last call.
