Tata Club Billiards in Hanoi, Vietnam

Tata Club Billiards is an indoor billiards and coffee venue on the third floor at 299 Trung Kính in Yên Hòa, Cầu Giấy, Hanoi. It is aimed at people who want to spend a few hours playing rather than travelers looking for a sightseeing attraction, and current directories still identify the club at the same address. The strongest practical points are its long published daily hours, a central Cầu Giấy location and a format that combines billiards with simple café-style service. It should suit pairs, groups of friends and office workers looking for an evening activity. The main limitation is that there is no readily accessible current operator website, and recent sources do not verify table brands, exact table count or a current hourly playing rate.

The venue is consistently placed at 299 Trung Kính by current Hanoi billiards directories. Be5 Sports lists Tata Club Billiards at that address with phone number 0989 932 931, while EnBizopedia separately indexes “TATA CLUB” on the third floor of 299 Trung Kính. Foody uses the name “Tata Center - Billiards & Coffee” for the same third-floor location. That combination is useful because it confirms both the address and the floor while also explaining why the venue may appear under slightly different names in search results. Travelers should use the full 299 Trung Kính address and look for Tata/Tata Center on the third floor rather than assuming a ground-level storefront.

Foody currently publishes a daily schedule of 08:00 to 01:00, with the last guest accepted at 00:00. That gives the club a broader window than many daytime recreation venues and makes it practical for an afternoon game, an after-work session or a late evening visit. Foody also warns that the listing has had little recent interaction and advises contacting the venue before arriving. For that reason, the published schedule is useful for planning but should not be treated as guaranteed, especially for a visit close to midnight or on a public holiday.

The same listing describes Tata as a billiards venue with coffee and ice cream service rather than a full restaurant. It is categorized for groups, relaxation and office-worker gatherings, and the listed capacity is 70 adults. Those details fit a social pool-hall model where people can stay for multiple games and order simple refreshments without turning the visit into a formal meal. Current evidence does not provide a reliable food menu, so visitors should not plan around dining here. If a meal matters, it is better to eat elsewhere before or after the session and use Tata primarily for billiards and drinks.

Published amenity information is relatively practical. Foody lists Wi-Fi, air conditioning, card payment, car parking, free motorbike parking, a smoking area, membership cards and the option to request a VAT invoice. It also marks advance booking as recommended. These details make the venue sound better suited to planned group sessions than a bare-bones neighborhood pool room, although the directory has not had much recent interaction and the amenities have not been independently checked one by one. If you need a particular payment method, parking arrangement or smoking-free environment, confirm it before relying on the listing.

The current Be5 Sports entry gives a phone number, 0989 932 931, which is the most useful direct contact found during this research cycle. Calling ahead is especially worthwhile if you are visiting with several players, want a table during the evening peak, or need to know the current hourly rate. Foody shows a broad 50,000–200,000 VND price range, but it does not clearly identify that figure as a current per-hour table tariff. Treat it as a directory price band rather than a promise of what one hour of billiards will cost in 2026.

There is also no reliable current evidence for the number or type of tables, cue quality, cloth condition, coaching, tournaments or equipment rental. That does not make the club unsuitable for casual play; it simply means serious players should ask before traveling specifically for a certain table specification. The current sources establish Tata as a billiards venue, but they do not justify claims about tournament-grade equipment or a professional training environment. For most visitors who only want a relaxed game with friends, this distinction may not matter much.

A typical casual visit can reasonably take around one and a half to three hours, depending on group size and how many games you want to play. That is a planning estimate rather than a venue rule. The long published hours make it easy to fit such a session around other plans in Cầu Giấy. Because the venue is on an upper floor, arriving with the full address is more useful than simply asking for a billiards club on Trung Kính. Current sources do not confirm whether there is step-free access, a lift suitable for all mobility needs, accessible toilets or enough clearance around the tables for wheelchair users.

For transport, taxi or ride-hailing is the simplest choice for visitors unfamiliar with the area. Use 299 Trung Kính, Yên Hòa, Cầu Giấy as the destination and then look for the third-floor club. No entrance-level coordinates were independently verified, so the exact legacy map pin should not be relied on. The location is in an urban commercial area rather than an isolated leisure complex, which makes Tata most useful as a targeted stop for billiards rather than a destination with other attractions on site.

Tata Club Billiards is therefore best understood as an active, directory-confirmed Hanoi pool venue with a third-floor location, long published hours and a billiards-plus-coffee format. It has enough practical information to plan a visit, but not enough operator-origin detail to promise specific tables, prices or every listed amenity. Go if the goal is a social pool session in Cầu Giấy, use the current phone number to confirm the essentials, and allow extra flexibility if you plan to arrive late or need a table for a larger group.
