Stacked Social is Adelaide’s premier boutique poker destination, redefining the South Australian "Mind Sports" landscape with a blend of elite tournament action and high-end lounge luxury. Situated on the vibrant O’Connell Street in North Adelaide, the venue trades the warehouse feel of traditional card rooms for an intimate, "Sammy Davis Jr. style" lounge atmosphere. Founded by a team of dedicated poker enthusiasts, it has quickly become the city's gold standard for professional dealing, diverse game variants, and a "stacked" premium bar service.


Why Stacked Social?

  • The Home of Championship Poker: Stacked Social is the headquarters for the Stacked Poker Championship, a marquee series that has recently concluded its 2026 run (January 25 – February 9), attracting some of Australia's top professionals for high-guarantee events.

  • Boutique Professionalism: With a curated five-table setup, the room prioritizes quality over quantity, featuring international-standard dealers and the latest RFID technology for its high-stakes live streams.

  • Sophisticated "Art-tainment": Far more than a card room, the venue features plush leather seating, high-definition big screens, and a bar stocked with premium spirits and bespoke cocktails, setting a new global standard for domestic card rooms.

  • Elite Community Hub: Widely regarded as the local "Regs" hub, it cultivates a highly analytical player base while remaining welcoming to newcomers through its approachable weekly tournament structures.

The Stacked Experience

The action at Stacked Social is concentrated and high-quality. Operating in accordance with South Australian gaming regulations, the venue specializes in tournament-style play that rewards technical proficiency. The room's signature event, the Stacked Poker Championship, has become a staple of the national calendar, frequently featuring specialized events such as the Mystery Bounty and PLO High Roller, with Main Event first-place prizes often exceeding $100,000.

Weekly tournaments are a cornerstone of the room, with consistent schedules running most evenings (Mon/Thu from 4 PM; Tue/Wed/Fri from 7 PM). These sessions are designed to provide a "Main Event" experience on a smaller scale, featuring professional dealers and deep-stacked structures. For international and interstate visitors, Stacked provides an "insider" experience; while it is a boutique venue, it is a regular stop for global grinders visiting for the major Australian circuits.

Situated in the upscale North Adelaide district, the venue is surrounded by some of the city’s finest dining. While the bar is "stacked" to the brim, the venue also offers flexible catering options for functions. This makes Stacked Social an ideal choice for players who want a premium, lifestyle-integrated experience both at and away from the poker tables.
