ME Cafe & Games (Tanjong Pagar)

ME Cafe & Games is a private-room gaming cafe on the third floor of a shophouse on Tanjong Pagar Road, open around the clock.

Almost everything here happens behind a door rather than in a shared room: PS5, Xbox and Switch stations with well over a hundred titles between them, automatic mahjong machines, and a board game library split between quick party games and longer strategy ones. There is also perler bead crafting, which nowhere else in this category offers — you pick a pattern, place the beads, fuse it and take the finished pixel art home.

Rates are hourly per person, a little more at weekends, with free-flow drinks as a small add-on and an overnight package for anyone arriving after 10pm. It suits friend groups, dates and team events, and it takes bookings up to around seventy people for parties. Popular rooms and games are worth reserving rather than turning up for.
