Lantern & Luck Terms and Conditions

1. Introduction

These Terms and Conditions outline the rules governing your use of the Lantern & Luck website and our physical venue located in Sydney, Australia. They apply to all guests enjoying our Asian fusion dining experiences, exploring our offline poker salon, participating in chip strategy sessions around our bespoke poker tables, or browsing our online information. Please read these Terms carefully before proceeding.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using this website, submitting an inquiry through any of our forms, booking via the Book Dining & Poker pathway, or visiting the Lantern & Luck venue in person, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to abide by these Terms and Conditions, along with any additional policies referenced on our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy pages.

If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you should refrain from using the lanternandluck.com website, from entering our oriental card lounge, and from participating in any offline poker salon activities at our venue.

3. Venue Policy

Lantern & Luck is a physical Sydney-based venue combining pan-Asian gastronomy with an exclusive offline poker salon and oriental card lounge environment. All references on this website strictly relate to on-premise experiences only, including our dining spaces, chip strategy sessions, bespoke poker tables and ceramic chip layouts.

Lantern & Luck does not provide, promote or support any form of online gaming. All content describing poker tables, ceramic chips, hand strategy or card room etiquette refers solely to friendly, in-person play at our venue.

4. Eligibility & Guest Conduct

Guests must be at least 18 years of age to access The Card Lounge or to participate in any offline Texas Hold'em sessions at our bespoke poker tables. We reserve the right to request valid identification before granting access to the card room or oriental card lounge.

All guests are expected to uphold respectful conduct throughout our restaurant, lounge and card room areas. This includes courteous behaviour towards staff and fellow guests, adherence to house rules explaining proper ceramic chip handling, and compliance with all reasonable directions issued by Lantern & Luck hosts or managers. We may refuse entry, restrict access to the offline poker salon or ask a guest to leave the premises if conduct is disruptive, unsafe or in breach of these Terms.

5. Dining Experience

Our menu celebrates pan-Asian gastronomy and may evolve seasonally or at our sole discretion. Dish availability, presentation and ingredients may vary between website descriptions and in-venue offerings.

Food allergy and dietary accommodations are available on request. Guests are responsible for informing our team of any allergies, intolerances or dietary preferences before ordering. While we take great care in our kitchen and service practices, we cannot guarantee that any menu item will be completely free from traces of specific allergens.

6. Offline Card Lounge Rules

The Card Lounge at Lantern & Luck is designed as an offline poker salon, featuring bespoke poker tables, curated lighting and custom ceramic chip sets. The environment is intended for relaxed, friendly Texas Hold'em play and chip strategy sessions among guests.

Only social, in-person Texas Hold'em is permitted within our oriental card lounge. Strictly no online gaming of any kind is allowed on our premises, including via personal devices while seated at poker tables. These sessions are exclusively recreational and centre on ceramic chip play at our physical tables, with no link to digital platforms or remote sessions.

7. Reservation Policy

Dining reservations, lounge seating and offline poker table bookings can be requested via our Book Dining & Poker pathway. We recommend advance bookings to secure preferred dining times, card lounge seating layouts and bespoke poker table arrangements for your group.

Submitting a reservation request does not guarantee confirmation. Our team will review availability and respond using the contact details provided. We may apply specific conditions to larger Lounge Gatherings, chip strategy sessions or group card room experiences, which will be communicated at the time of confirmation.

8. Chip & Equipment Usage

All poker experiences within Lantern & Luck utilise venue-issued ceramic chips, cards and equipment. These items are provided solely for entertainment within our offline poker salon and oriental card lounge.

Ceramic chips, cards, accessories and any other equipment remain the exclusive property of Lantern & Luck at all times. Guests must not remove chips or equipment from the poker tables or from the venue. Any attempt to conceal, remove, alter or misuse chips or card room equipment is considered a breach of these Terms and may result in immediate removal from the premises and potential reporting to relevant authorities if required.

9. Event & Gathering Policies

Lounge Gatherings, private card room sessions and hosted chip strategy events are subject to additional specific terms communicated during enquiry and confirmation. Depending on the nature of your event, host approval may be required for group play formats, bespoke poker table configurations or extended use of the oriental card lounge.

These event-specific terms operate alongside these general Terms and Conditions. By confirming an event booking, you agree to comply with both the general venue rules and any extra conditions noted in your event correspondence. For further details, please refer to our Lounge Gatherings information or contact us through the Contact Us page.
