Their outlets at <strong>Lavender, Beauty World, Holland Village, and The Cathay<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<p>Stations across their outlets run on <strong>ASUS ROG PCs equipped with AMD 9070 XT graphics cards<\/strong>, paired with <strong>ZOWIE peripherals<\/strong> and ASUS monitors \u2014 including 360 Hz panels in select rooms for the truly twitch-dependent. Pricing starts from <strong>S$6 per hour<\/strong>, with VIP rooms, five-person party suites, and an Elixir VIP membership tier for regulars.<\/p>\n<p>The brand also holds a distinctive technical edge: Singapore&#8217;s first and only <strong>centralised server room<\/strong>, which keeps all the bulky CPU hardware hidden away so each station is cleaner, cooler, and physically roomier than a traditional setup.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/elixir-esports-gaming-cafe.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Elixir Esports gaming cafe interior setup\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Elixir Esports<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Elixir Esports CQ \u2014 What to Expect<\/h2>\n<p>The Clarke Quay outlet is billed as Elixir Esports&#8217; <strong>biggest location to date<\/strong>, and will operate <strong>around the clock, 24 hours a day<\/strong>. It will house gaming facilities, a food and beverage section, and dedicated space for <strong>esports tournaments<\/strong> \u2014 making it one of the most complete gaming destinations in the city when it opens.<\/p>\n<p>The CQ opening lands in the middle of a broader refresh for the riverside mall: <strong>CQ @ Clarke Quay announced eight new brands<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n<p>Specific details on station count, the full F&#038;B menu, and room configurations are expected to be confirmed around opening day \u2014 keep an eye on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elixiresports.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elixir Esports&#8217; official site<\/a> and their Instagram <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/elixiresports.sg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@elixiresports.sg<\/a> for the final word.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Get There<\/h2>\n<p>CQ @ Clarke Quay sits along the Singapore River and is a short walk from <strong>Clarke Quay MRT (NE5)<\/strong> on the North East Line. The area is well served by buses and taxis, and there&#8217;s plenty of dining and nightlife options nearby \u2014 ideal if you&#8217;re planning a longer outing around the gaming session.<\/p>\n<h2>Last words<\/h2>\n<p>A 24\/7 flagship gaming outlet in Clarke Quay is the kind of thing Singapore gamers have been quietly hoping for. Whether you&#8217;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.
