ViB Billiards Club in Hanoi, Vietnam

ViB Billiards Club is a pool and billiards venue on the fourth floor at 141 Hoàng Hoa Thám in Hanoi’s Ba Đình area. Fresh research supports returning the legacy Travel S Helper record to ready status. A current Facebook search result for the club gives the exact floor and address, while a June 2025 post from the same account shows the business actively recruiting staff for the Hoàng Hoa Thám location. A current 2026 Hanoi billiards directory independently lists ViB Billiards Club at 141 Hoàng Hoa Thám. The venue suits travelers who want a local billiards session outside the Old Quarter rather than a tourist attraction. The main practical caveat is contact data: current sources show several different phone numbers, and the old WordPress number is now associated with an unrelated company, so visitors should use the active Facebook page rather than relying on the legacy phone.

The strongest identity evidence comes from the club’s Facebook presence. Search results for “Billiards Club ViB - 141 Hoàng Hoa Thám” state that the venue is on the fourth floor of number 141 in Ba Đình and give a reservation number of 094 346 6922. A Facebook job post dated 1 June 2025 repeats the 141 Hoàng Hoa Thám address while recruiting evening staff, which is valuable because it shows real business activity at the location rather than a static directory entry. The post also refers to “VIB Billiards,” matching the older Travel S Helper name closely enough to establish continuity.

A separate 2026 billiards directory reinforces that location. Be5 Sports lists “ViB Billiards Club” at 141 Đ. Hoàng Hoa Thám, Ngọc Hồ, Ba Đình, Hanoi. The directory is a compiled venue list rather than an operator page, so its individual details need caution, but it is useful independent confirmation that the club name remains associated with the same building in 2026. This is enough to confirm the Hanoi route and the physical building without depending on the old WordPress record itself.

The building context also makes the fourth-floor location plausible. Current commercial-property information describes 141 Hoàng Hoa Thám as an eight-floor multi-tenant building with basement parking and an elevator. Other businesses and services are also currently listed at the same street number, including banking, travel and education uses. That means visitors should not expect a standalone billiards storefront visible from the pavement. The practical arrival instruction is to enter the commercial building and continue to the fourth floor, using the club’s current Facebook identity if signage is unclear.

Opening hours are less certain than the address. An active Instagram location page for Billiards Club ViB at 141 Hoàng Hoa Thám currently displays “Open 24 hours.” That is useful secondary evidence and supports the possibility of late-night or overnight play. However, no current operator-controlled weekly schedule was found on the Facebook page itself, so a 24-hour listing should not be treated as absolute. Travel S Helper can publish 24-hour access with a direct-confirmation caveat, especially for overnight visits or holidays.

The phone-number conflict is significant. The current Facebook search result gives 094 346 6922, while the Instagram location page displays +84 98 181 15 51. Be5 Sports still shows the old number 0938 331 286. That old number cannot safely be treated as current because a Vietnamese tax registry updated in 2026 now lists 0938331286 for a newly created fine-arts investment company at a completely different Tây Hồ address. Phone numbers can be reassigned, and this is a clear example of why old contact metadata should not be copied forward automatically.

No reliable current price list was found. The club may charge by the hour, by table type or through time-based promotions, but none of those details is supported strongly enough for publication. Travelers should ask the current hourly rate before starting, particularly if there are different prices for pool, carom or premium tables. The same applies to cue rental, drinks, membership discounts and tournaments. The club’s social presence confirms billiards activity, but not a current public tariff.

A normal visit can reasonably last one to three hours depending on whether the goal is casual play, practice or a longer social session. That is an editorial estimate rather than an official duration. Hanoi has a large and active billiards scene, so players should not assume they need to reserve unless visiting at a popular evening time. If a guaranteed table matters, messaging the Facebook page before arrival is sensible.

The Hoàng Hoa Thám location is convenient for Ba Đình and the western edge of central Hanoi. Taxi and ride-hailing are straightforward from Hoàn Kiếm, Tây Hồ or Đống Đa, and the street is well connected by city transport. Exact journey times vary too much with traffic to publish. The useful arrival landmark is the 141 Hoàng Hoa Thám building itself, with the club on the fourth floor.

Accessibility is partly supported by the building rather than the club. The current property listing says the building has an elevator and a staircase, which improves access to the fourth floor. However, there is no club-specific evidence about step-free entrance thresholds, accessible toilets, table spacing or wheelchair circulation. Travelers with mobility requirements should confirm those details directly before visiting.

ViB Billiards Club can therefore return to ready status. Its identity, Hanoi route, building and fourth-floor location are supported by current social and directory evidence, and there is no current closure signal. The page should use the active Facebook profile as the safest contact route, treat 24-hour opening as a secondary listing that merits confirmation, and avoid the old 0938 331 286 number because it now appears to belong to an unrelated 2026 company.
