South Delhi's cue-sport
& console headquarters
Vortex Gaming Cafe is a premium gaming lounge in Satya Niketan, South Delhi, built around snooker, 8-ball pool and PS5 — backed by high-end gaming PCs and VR. Sitting directly opposite Delhi University South Campus and open till 6 AM daily, it's where students and serious gamers rack up, squad up and stay late.
Snooker & Pool
Tournament-grade tables, fresh cloth, straight cues, proper overhead lighting. Frames that feel like club play — not a corner-shop table.
PS5 Stations
Big screens, DualSense controllers, updated library — EA FC, Tekken 8, GTA V, Mortal Kombat. Multiplayer setups for full squads.
PCs & VR
High-end rigs that run Valorant, BGMI-class titles and AAA games without a stutter — plus immersive VR sessions on demand.
Where Delhi
comes to break
Cue sports aren't a side attraction here — they're the main event. Whether you're grinding centuries or just learning to hold a bridge, the tables at Vortex play true.
- 01Tournament-grade cloth — brushed, ironed and maintained for consistent roll.
- 02Per-table pricing — split the hour with your crew, not your wallet.
- 03Snooker + 8-ball pool — long-frame patience or quick-rack chaos, your pick.
- 04Late-night frames — the felt stays lit till 6 AM.
PS5, big screens,
zero lag egos
Settle the "who's better at FC" debate properly. Dedicated PS5 stations with DualSense controllers, comfortable seating and a library that stays current.
- 01EA FC, Tekken 8, GTA V, Mortal Kombat and a rotating AAA lineup.
- 02Multiplayer-ready — 1v1s, squad sessions and mini-tournaments with friends.
- 03Big-screen play — full couch-lounge setup, not a cramped monitor corner.
The city sleeps.
Vortex doesn't.
Most gaming spots shut when the night's just getting good. Vortex runs till 6 AM every day — post-exam decompression, birthday all-nighters, 3 AM frames after a Satya Niketan food run.
- 01Open till 6 AM — Monday to Sunday, no early shutters.
- 02Basement below Pizza Hut — Satya Niketan's food street is literally upstairs.
- 03Safe, staffed & AC'd — a proper lounge, all night long.
Your campus
