Singapore’s gaming cafe scene just levelled up. Elixir Esports is officially opening its largest outlet to date at CQ, Clarke Quay on 2 July 2026 — bringing its signature blend of professional-grade gaming, food and beverage, and live esports tournaments to one of the most iconic riverside districts in the city.
What Is Elixir Esports?
Elixir Esports has been part of Singapore’s gaming scene since 2015, building a reputation for premium LAN-cafe experiences that go well beyond the old-school cyber cafe formula. Their outlets at Lavender, Beauty World, Holland Village, and The Cathay each share the same DNA: sleek, futuristic interiors, high-end hardware, and a setup that feels as much like a lifestyle space as a gaming venue.
Stations across their outlets run on ASUS ROG PCs equipped with AMD 9070 XT graphics cards, paired with ZOWIE peripherals and ASUS monitors — including 360 Hz panels in select rooms for the truly twitch-dependent. Pricing starts from S$6 per hour, with VIP rooms, five-person party suites, and an Elixir VIP membership tier for regulars.
The brand also holds a distinctive technical edge: Singapore’s first and only centralised server room, which keeps all the bulky CPU hardware hidden away so each station is cleaner, cooler, and physically roomier than a traditional setup.
Elixir Esports CQ — What to Expect
The Clarke Quay outlet is billed as Elixir Esports’ biggest location to date, and will operate around the clock, 24 hours a day. It will house gaming facilities, a food and beverage section, and dedicated space for esports tournaments — making it one of the most complete gaming destinations in the city when it opens.
The CQ opening lands in the middle of a broader refresh for the riverside mall: CQ @ Clarke Quay announced eight new brands as part of a major tenant revamp in early 2026. Elixir Esports is one of the headline additions, a clear sign that gaming and esports culture has earned a permanent spot in mainstream Singapore entertainment.
Specific details on station count, the full F&B menu, and room configurations are expected to be confirmed around opening day — keep an eye on Elixir Esports’ official site and their Instagram @elixiresports.sg for the final word.
How to Get There
CQ @ Clarke Quay sits along the Singapore River and is a short walk from Clarke Quay MRT (NE5) on the North East Line. The area is well served by buses and taxis, and there’s plenty of dining and nightlife options nearby — ideal if you’re planning a longer outing around the gaming session.
Last words
A 24/7 flagship gaming outlet in Clarke Quay is the kind of thing Singapore gamers have been quietly hoping for. Whether you’re grinding ranked into the early hours, catching an esports final with friends, or just looking for a quality setup away from home, Elixir Esports CQ looks set to be one of the most compelling gaming spaces in the city. Pencil in 2 July.
