“The poker player's choice, with a long-running reputation in the East Midlands.”
Dusk Till Dawn built its name on poker, and the Nottingham venue is where many players from across the region go for tournaments and cash games. It has a different feel to a typical casino: more focus, more conversation about hands, a little less glitter.
If you play poker, or simply enjoy watching a serious room at work, this is the Midlands stop that makes the most sense.
Poker is the draw, with cash tables and scheduled tournaments, and the venue also runs a casino floor with other table games and machines. Newer players should ask staff about beginner-friendly sessions before taking a seat.
Because poker sessions can run long, plan your sleeping arrangements in advance. Several hotels sit within a short taxi ride, and it helps to pick one that allows a late check-in or a lie-in afterwards.
You will need photo ID and must be 18 or over. The dress code is relaxed but tidy. Tournament times, buy-ins and hours change often, so always confirm the current schedule with the venue.
