D.O.T Billiards Club in Hanoi, Vietnam

D.O.T Billiards Club is a current Hanoi pool billiards venue on Đốc Ngữ Street in the Ba Đình area, west of the Old Quarter and close to the city’s central residential districts. Fresh structured business data still lists the club as open and shows it operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A current 2026 Hanoi billiards directory independently lists D.O.T Billiards Club at the same Đốc Ngữ location and gives the phone number 0965 339 810. That makes the club a practical option for players who want flexible hours rather than a heavily tourist-oriented attraction. The public information is limited, so visitors should confirm table availability and current prices directly.

The address is consistently tied to number 127 on Đốc Ngữ Street, although current sources vary slightly in how they name the surrounding ward. Google’s structured listing places the club at 127 Đốc Ngữ in the Ngọc Hà area, while a 2026 billiards directory uses Liễu Giai in the address. These are neighboring central Hanoi locality labels rather than evidence of two separate clubs. For navigation, the most useful combination is the club name, 127 Đốc Ngữ and the phone number. If a ride-hailing app or driver produces more than one result, showing the current business name is safer than relying only on the ward wording.

The club is categorized as a pool billiards venue, which is the strongest verified description of what visitors should expect. Current business databases and billiards directories continue to include it among Hanoi’s active pool clubs. They do not, however, publish a reliable current table count, equipment list, cue-rental policy or billiards-discipline breakdown. It would therefore be wrong to promise that a particular table brand, carom setup, snooker table or tournament-standard equipment is available. Players who need a specific format should ask before traveling.

The 24-hour schedule is the most distinctive current practical feature. Google’s business listing shows every day as open 24 hours, and the legacy club profile has long been associated with all-day operation. In practice, a 24-hour billiards club can still have quieter periods, maintenance windows or reduced staffing late at night. Anyone planning to arrive after midnight or very early in the morning should call 0965 339 810 and confirm that tables are available. This is especially useful for groups that do not want to wait or for travelers trying to fit a game around late transport or work schedules.

D.O.T Billiards Club is not strongly documented as a tourist venue. Its online footprint is much closer to a local recreation business: the current structured listing has only about ten public reviews, and there is no verified current official website, detailed English-language menu or visitor guide. That limited footprint is not a reason to treat the club as inactive; current 2026 billiards datasets still include it. It simply means the page should focus on verified practical facts rather than turning a small rating sample into broad claims about atmosphere, service or value.

The Đốc Ngữ area is well integrated into central Hanoi’s road network. It lies west of the Old Quarter and south of West Lake, within reach of Ba Đình, Ngọc Hà, Liễu Giai and Kim Mã. Taxi or ride-hailing is the simplest option for most visitors, especially at night. Those already staying around Ba Đình or the western side of central Hanoi may find the club easier to reach than billiards halls in Cầu Giấy or farther western districts. Public transport may also be possible, but the current sources reviewed here do not provide a reliable route recommendation specific to the club.

A normal session can reasonably be planned for one to two hours, although billiards players often stay much longer. No current hourly rate was verified during this research cycle, so visitors should ask the table price before starting and clarify whether billing is per table, per hour or affected by the time of day. If house cues, chalk or other basic equipment are important, ask whether they are included. The same applies to food and drinks: the sources confirm a billiards club, not a current food-service menu, so refreshments should not be promised without direct verification.

The small review count also means there is not enough evidence to describe current table condition, smoking policy, music level, air conditioning, staff service or crowd behavior with confidence. A pool club can change equipment and house rules without generating much searchable coverage. Instead of relying on old comments, players who care about those details should call the club or inspect the room before committing to a long session. This is particularly important for competitive players who may be more sensitive to cloth condition, rail response or lighting than casual visitors.

There is no verified current accessibility information. The public sources do not state whether the entrance is step-free, whether the playing area is on the ground floor or an upper level, or whether an elevator and accessible restroom are available. Travelers with mobility requirements should call ahead and ask specifically about the route from street level to the tables. The same applies to parking. Đốc Ngữ is an urban street with dense surrounding development, but no current source reviewed here confirms a dedicated D.O.T visitor parking area.

Current external data provides enough evidence to treat D.O.T as an active club rather than an unresolved legacy listing. Be5 Sports’ 2026 Hanoi billiards directory includes D.O.T Billiards Club with the same location and phone number, while a July 2026 pool-club business dataset also includes D.O.T among Hanoi’s current listings and reports a small but active review record. A current hotel-landmark service continues to recognize D.O.T Billiards Club as a live Hanoi landmark. These sources do not add much detail about the experience, but together they support continuity.

For most visitors, the practical plan is simple. Use 127 Đốc Ngữ as the destination, save 0965 339 810, and call before an overnight visit or if you need a specific billiards format. Allow at least an hour for a casual game and more time for a group session. Do not rely on old online prices or assume that every piece of equipment shown in older photos is still present. D.O.T Billiards Club’s strongest verified qualities are its continued Hanoi presence, central location and round-the-clock opening. Its weaker area is public documentation, so direct confirmation is the best way to fill in the details that current sources do not support.
