What you will find here
A gaming cafe is easy to find on a map and hard to judge from one. Search for a gaming cafe near me and you get pins and star ratings: neither says whether the room holds six machines or a hundred, what an hour costs, or whether the doors are still open at two in the morning. Every venue page here carries those three facts as the venue itself publishes them, and says plainly when a figure is missing.
The directory holds 243 gaming cafes, PC lounges, LAN shops, LAN centers and esports centers: 110 in the United States, 27 in the United Arab Emirates, 26 in Australia, 18 in Singapore, 17 in Canada, 11 in the United Kingdom. 164 of them publish a PC count, 5,095 machines in total. 176 stay open past midnight and 43 run around the clock — the part a map rarely gets right. 108 publish an hourly rate; the rest we leave empty rather than guess.

Counted, not scraped
Every PC count on this site says where it came from. Where a venue publishes a minimum rather than an exact figure, we keep the minimum as written.
Where counts come from
164 / 243
76 checked by hand, 77 taken from venue websites, 10 from reviews. The other 79 publish no figure and are marked as such.
Stated, not rounded
“20+”
62 venues publish a minimum. It stays a minimum: read as 20 for sorting and colour, printed as 20+ wherever a person reads it.

Run a gaming cafe we have missed?
A name, a city and an address are enough to start a page. A venue with no published count still gets listed — marked as not published, never guessed.
