Our Story
From Melbourne to Your Table & casino
Guia Card Lounge & Poker Salon was born from a love of Melbourne's vibrant dining scene and the timeless appeal of social card play. We wanted to create a space where the ritual of a great meal and the thrill of a well-played hand could share the same table.
Founded by hospitality enthusiasts who wanted to merge gourmet food with a refined card lounge, Guia draws on Melbourne's laneway culture, its celebrated coffee, and its understated elegance. Every detail, from the cutlery to the felt, reflects that inspiration.
Located in the heart of Melbourne, Australia, we are proud to offer a venue that feels both contemporary and warmly familiar. It is a place designed for conversation, laughter, and the quiet focus of a good game.
“A space for connection, where every guest is treated like a regular.”
All play at Guia is chip-based, fostering a relaxed, social atmosphere. The venue is designed for conversation, with intimate seating and ambient lighting that invites you to settle in and stay awhile.
