THE FELT IS
ALWAYS GREEN
Tournament-grade snooker and 8-ball pool tables in the heart of Satya Niketan — the closest proper cue-sports room to DU South Campus, and it stays open till 6 AM.
Built for the long frame
Vortex Gaming Cafe offers snooker and 8-ball pool on well-maintained, tournament-grade tables in Satya Niketan, South Delhi. Tables are charged per hour — not per player — with cues, chalk and racks included, making it one of the most affordable ways for a group near DU South Campus to play.
True-Rolling Tables
Cloth that's brushed and cared for, cushions with honest bounce, pockets that reward clean potting — no dead rails, no excuses.
Straight Cues, Real Chalk
House cues checked for warp, tips maintained, chalk on every table. Bring your own cue if you're that guy — we respect it.
Pay Per Table, Per Hour
One table rate covers the whole group. Four friends, one hour, one split — cheaper than a round of coffees upstairs.
Snooker or 8-ball?
Snooker
The thinking player's game. 15 reds, 6 colours, and frames that test patience, safety play and cue control. Perfect for long evening sessions — a single frame with friends can run 30–45 minutes of pure focus.
8-Ball Pool
Fast racks, loud breaks, instant rematches. Solids vs stripes is the universal language of Satya Niketan evenings — easy for beginners, endlessly competitive for regulars. Ideal between classes when you've got 40 minutes to kill.

Snooker & pool FAQs
How is the table charged? +
Per table, per hour — not per person. A group of four splits one hourly table rate between them. See the rates page for current pricing.
I've never played snooker. Can I still come? +
Absolutely. Start with 8-ball pool — it's the friendliest entry into cue sports — and the staff will happily explain the basics. Half of Satya Niketan learned to play here.
Can I bring my own cue? +
Yes. House cues are included and well maintained, but personal cues are welcome.
How late can we play? +
Till 6 AM, every day. Night frames after midnight are a Vortex tradition — the tables are usually freer and the vibe is unmatched.
