A clubhouse built for players, not tourists

Since opening on Shepherd Street in 2019, we’ve hosted university LAN nights, indie launch parties, and the Inner West’s longest-running Tekken ladder. Everything is tuned for low latency and long sessions — wired peripherals, fibre uplink, and air-conditioning that actually keeps up.

About the Empire

Two floors of Sydney gaming culture

The ground floor is pure adrenaline: rows of RTX battle stations on height-adjustable desks, a six-seat console arena with tournament monitors, and a wall of restored arcade cabinets from Daytona to Street Fighter II.

Upstairs is the calm: a soundproofed coaching room, private squad bookings for up to twelve, and a cafe bar serving cold brew, energy bricks, and proper toasties so you never have to leave the zone.

  • Wired Logitech & Razer peripherals on every seat
  • 1Gbps symmetrical fibre with a sub-5ms local route
  • Walk-ins welcome, members skip the queue

Player Reviews

What the regulars say

“I shaved my Valorant queue tilt completely after three coaching sessions here. Hit Immortal in October and the coach still checks my VODs.”

Newtown · March 2025

“Booked the squad room for my brother’s 21st. Twelve of us, zero lag, and the toasties carried us to 1am. Best birthday call I’ve made.”

Daniel K.

Redfern · January 2025

“The retro row is unreal — a working Daytona twin cabinet in 2025. I come in on Tuesdays just for the free-play and stay for the cold brew.”

Marcus T.

Glebe · February 2025

“As a UTS student the off-peak member rate is a steal. Quiet during the day, wired peripherals, and it’s a five-minute walk from campus.”
