Pick your table, any night
A closer look at what's running most nights, from the long five hundred tables to the quiet corner kept for whist.
Take a seat at any of six tables
Five hundred takes the two long tables by the window, partners drawn by card at the door so nobody plays the same hand twice in a row.
Euchre and crib share the back wall, kept going by a core of regulars who've been marking the same pencil scoresheet for years.
Bridge and whist run in the quieter corner near the counter, where the pace slows and the conversation tends to matter more than the trick.
Five hundred
Two long tables, partners drawn fresh at the door each night.
Euchre & crib
The back wall, scored in pencil by whoever's counting tonight.
Bridge & whist
The quiet corner, best for a slow Sunday hand.
Follow this at every table
We draw five hundred partners by card at the door, so nobody plays the same hand twice running.
We ask new players to say so — our house dealer will talk you through the rules before the first hand.
We run an informal poker table most Fridays, no buy-in, points only, house dealer sitting in.
Each table seats up to eight, and we fill all six most weekend evenings.
