NEW VENUE - STUDIO 89

[BigPete33]

Wanting to play on a sunday evening but don't want the huge crowd at Roulettes? After something a bit more relaxing? Just want the management to appreciate you (and show it)? Want value for your dollar?

Then ladies and gents, you HAVE to try this venue!

All other venues could learn a lesson or two from this place, and that's only after their opening night! They offer meals at a reasonable price - with poker specials, great value for your stamps, table service during play, friendly and welcoming staff, and they even brought out pizza for us towards the end of the night!

See the pictures for the poker specials, regular stamp system is:

Meal = 4 stamps
Alcoholic drink = 2 stamps
Softdrink = 1 stamp

But trust me folks, you want a meal because they are awesome. I can especially recommend the pizza, small in size but the toppings are stacked on so you aren't left feeling hungry. The manager (Roman) makes them himself.

There were around 40 runners for the opening night (great effort guys) and there's plenty of room for more tables. Roman has stated that he'd happily let the poker take over the entire place on a Sunday evening as it's normally their quietest night. What a top bloke he is!

Regular Sunday evening venue for me, no doubt.

Hi Guys just so you know who i am, Natalie the Tourny Director at the new venue on prospect road (Studio 89), did they put on a FABULOUS show for us or what??????
Roman is a great host and his staff are wonderful, i'm glad to say i will be there every week and was so happy to see you all there.
Looking forward to seeing you all again next week and all your mates. Spread the word.

Would have to agree with Natalie 150% there, a credit to Roman and all his staff for putting on a great openning night.

I'll be spreading the word and i'll be there next Sunday too.

I've edited my first post and added some pictures from opening night.

First class venue this, already looking forward to next Sunday.

After also joining the 40 plus runners on Sunday, I can only completely agree with Pete. A very friendly atmosphere and one of the fewer venue's that has not only got it right, they've gone that extra step to make you feel extra welcome.

The small pizza small? Only in name! As the pictures show, the pizza just about completely filled the plate, had plenty of topping and made for a very tasty meal that filled that hunger gap perfectly. Throw in the beer, or wine, as well for a $15 package and it's a definate winner in my books. Oh and it wasn't the only tasty looking dish either. As you'll see from the menu, there are a couple of different meals you can wrap your lips around that you won't find in too many other venues.

Oh.... and if your a fan of some jazz, then definately head down and ready your ears for that slightly different poker experience. Who knows, it might steady your nerves just a little bit and stop you from calling that all in that you just know you shouldn't.
