Billiard No.1 Club in Hanoi, Vietnam

Billiard No.1 Club is a pool hall on the third floor of 319 Tây Sơn in Hanoi’s Đống Đa district, near the Ngã Tư Sở junction. Fresh 2026 research supports keeping the venue as an active Travel S Helper record: Viet-Biz, Foody and WorldPlaces all continue to list Billiard No.1 Club at the same third-floor address, and two of them show the same phone number, 098 364 86 84. The club is best suited to travelers who want a straightforward local billiards session rather than a large entertainment complex or tourist attraction. The main practical uncertainty is opening time: current directories conflict between round-the-clock operation and an 08:00–23:00 schedule, so anyone planning an overnight visit should confirm directly.

The address match is unusually strong. Viet-Biz lists “Tầng 3 Số 319 Tây Sơn - Đống Đa - Hà Nội,” Foody gives “Tầng 3, 319 Tây Sơn,” and WorldPlaces repeats the same third-floor location together with the same 0983648684 telephone number. WorldPlaces also provides a map pin that closely matches the old Travel S Helper coordinate, which further supports identity continuity. Because the place name, floor, building number and phone align across fresh directory crawls, there is no evidence that the legacy entity moved or was replaced by a different billiards business.

The building itself remains active and multi-purpose. HC’s official website says its Tây Sơn electronics supermarket opened at number 319 on 19 December 2024 and operates from the same street address, while commercial-property material describes 319 Tây Sơn as a multi-floor building with office space, elevators and other tenants. That newer retail use does not contradict the billiards listing on the third floor. Instead, it is a reminder that 319 Tây Sơn is a shared building and visitors should look for the internal route to the third floor rather than expecting a standalone billiards storefront at street level.

Current hours are the largest unresolved detail. Viet-Biz lists Billiard No.1 Club as open 24 hours on Monday through Sunday. WorldPlaces also preserves an “always open” identity, while an older place directory says the same. Foody, however, currently shows 08:00–23:00 with a last-customer time of 22:30. Both current major directory sources are specific enough that neither should simply be ignored. Travel S Helper therefore should not claim one of them as definitive. The practical sidebar can show the conflict each day and tell visitors to confirm directly, especially for play before 08:00 or after 23:00.

Foody’s current page adds some useful but secondary context. It classifies the venue as billiards, shows a 35,000–50,000 VND price range, indicates a stated capacity of about 50 adults and lists amenities such as air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, card payment and parking. These fields are typical directory metadata rather than operator-confirmed 2026 facts, and Foody has no user review for the venue. The price range in particular should not be presented as a guaranteed current hourly table rate. Billiards clubs can vary prices by time, table type, promotion or membership, so players should ask the current rate before starting.

Viet-Biz also says parking is available and classifies the business as a pool hall in the sports-and-activities sector. Again, those details are useful discovery signals but not enough to promise a specific parking arrangement, free motorbike storage or particular table equipment. No current operator-controlled page was found that lists the number of tables, table brands, cloth condition, cue rental policy, food service or tournament schedule. The public description should stay focused on what is actually supported: an active billiards club at the same third-floor Tây Sơn location.

The venue’s central-west Hanoi position makes it practical for visitors staying around Đống Đa, Thanh Xuân or the Ngã Tư Sở area. Travelers coming from Hoàn Kiếm can use taxi or ride-hailing, while those staying nearby may find bus or local road options convenient. Exact travel times are too traffic-dependent to publish. The most useful arrival note is simply that the club is inside the 319 Tây Sơn building and requires going to the third floor.

A normal billiards visit can last roughly one to three hours, depending on whether players want a quick game, practice session or longer social evening. That is an editorial estimate, not an operator rule. No reservation requirement was independently confirmed even though Foody lists “reservation required” among its amenities. Small groups can reasonably plan a casual visit, but larger groups or players who need a specific table type should call first.

Accessibility is only partly inferable. Commercial-property information for 319 Tây Sơn advertises elevators in the building, which suggests upper floors are not stairs-only. However, no source confirms the route from the building entrance to Billiard No.1 Club itself, step-free thresholds, accessible toilets or wheelchair clearance around tables. Travelers with mobility requirements should confirm access directly rather than assuming the building elevator resolves every barrier.

Current first-hand visitor evidence is notably thin. Foody shows no posted review, Viet-Biz shows no own-site review and WorldPlaces mainly aggregates basic business information. That lack of recent review detail is why the article should avoid claims about atmosphere, staff friendliness, crowd patterns or equipment quality. Those would be easy to invent from the category but are not supported by the sources.

Billiard No.1 Club can therefore return to ready status because its identity, Hanoi route and third-floor address remain consistently supported in current listings. The page should preserve the exact 319 Tây Sơn location and current phone number, avoid recycling unverified amenities or prices as facts, and make the opening-hours conflict explicit. For an ordinary daytime or evening visit the venue is well enough verified; for overnight play, the safest advice is to call before traveling.
