Circle Tuesday, that's poker night

Six nights a week, plus the odd change through the year — this is how the calendar actually looks at Jacaranda Yard.

Expect a shorter float over Christmas

November brings the jacarandas down over Prince Street, and we sweep the yard out back twice a night instead of once.

We close for a short break at Christmas, always posted well ahead of time on the door.

Winter thins the midweek tables a little; the games stay exactly the same, just quieter.

House dealers stay the same faces year-round, so a regular from March usually finds the same hands dealing in October.
