UNO eSports Café – University of New Orleans, New Orleans, LA, USA


UNO’s esports café blends competitive and casual gaming with intramural league support, located inside the Recreation & Fitness Center. The UNO eSports Café brings the game to the lakefront with a vibrant, student-centered space that mixes high-spec gear with a come-as-you-are vibe. Located inside the Earl K. Long Library, this modern café-style lounge is outfitted with powerful gaming PCs and consoles, offering Privateers a casual yet capable spot to compete, connect, or just kick back between classes.
Open to all students, the space fuels everything from intense Valorant showdowns to low-key Mario Kart races—welcoming both campus competitors and newcomers looking to plug in and play. The café also supports UNO’s growing esports program, offering a base for student-led tournaments, team practices, and watch parties throughout the year.
Equal parts lounge, lab, and arena, the UNO eSports Café reflects the energy of New Orleans itself—laid-back but lively, inclusive and always in motion. For UNO students, it’s more than a gaming room—it’s a digital hangout where community and competition go hand in hand.
