Oakden Central

Postby andy_thomas » Wed Oct 24, 2007 10:43 am

Top, top venue!

Food: Great food on offer, some might consider it a bit pricey though, but you pay for what you get, very nice meals.

Stamps: You get looked after with the stamps, 2 stamps for a pint of light for those a bit worried about their driving ability after a few full strength beers. Coopers Lager @ $5 and TEDs @ $4.50. Meals get you 3 stamps. I think the only stuff up is with their wine, apparently they only give you 1 stamp (even if you get an $8 glass), but who drinks wine at the poker anyway.

Layout: Very spacious setting, with a mini waterfall to look at, with two plasmas on the walls. One usually showing channel V and the other showing sports (there's always Poker on).

They only use the 10 seater tables there, usually have 5 setup, with lovely soft comfy chairs in use.

Other: If you're on the spirits, make sure you get the round glasses, as there are squared glasses that don't fit in the drink holders on the tables.

They put on free woodoven pizza during the first break, but you have to be quick as they're a pack of vultures!

If you're around at the final table, there is known to be a bit of commentary done on the PA by random people to add to the atmosphere :lol:

All in all, my favourite venue, with the only negative being the numbers (usually 40-50), but that's not too bad really, keeps things nice and intimate!

Nice. Drive past there a bit when visiting friends in Northgate, looks like a classy venue. Isn't it a "club" for something? Someone?

Yeah, it's apart of Adelaide City Football Club (their pitch + clubrooms is just behind it) and you're right, it is quite a class venue.

Wasn't that where the Adelaide RAMS were based at one point?

Also correct, the ground is actually still called Rams Park
