Xuong Billard Club in Hanoi, Vietnam

Xuong Billard Club, locally presented as Xưởng Bi-a Văn Quán, is a dedicated billiards venue at 36 BT8 in the Văn Quán villa area of Hà Đông, Hanoi. It is most relevant to travelers, residents and groups who want to spend time actually playing pool rather than visiting a conventional tourist attraction. The club’s operator Facebook page is still indexed with the same Văn Quán address, phone number and an “always open” status, while a current-crawled local directory shows the same identity and contact. The main limitation is that much of the detailed description available online dates from earlier listings, so table count, equipment and other facilities should be treated as historical context unless confirmed directly before a visit.

The location is in the Văn Quán urban area in Hà Đông, west of central Hanoi. Current sources use the address 36 BT8, Khu đô thị or khu biệt thự Văn Quán, which is more useful than the older English rendering of the address. The operator Facebook page gives the hotline as 096 866 9615, and Địa Điểm 247 independently lists the same number. For taxi or ride-hailing, using “36 BT8 Văn Quán, Hà Đông” together with the club name should be the simplest approach. An entrance-level coordinate was not independently verified during this research cycle, so the old Travel S Helper map pin is not promoted as current.

The venue was historically described as a fairly large billiards room. Địa Điểm 247’s club description, last explicitly updated in 2022, says the space covered about 600 square metres and contained 20 modern billiards tables. It also mentioned cues available for hourly rental, parking for cars and motorcycles, and a range of drinks. Those details help explain why the club was presented as a substantial playing venue rather than a café with a single table, but they are not treated as a guaranteed 2026 inventory. Serious players who care about table model, cloth, pocket specification or cue quality should ask the club directly before traveling specifically for those features.

There is independent evidence that the venue was equipped as a purpose-built billiards business. Goldsound’s current billiards-installation catalog still includes a named installation for “Xưởng Bi-a, Văn Quán, Hà Đông, Hà Nội” and describes a dedicated sound system for the club. That does not prove the condition of the audio equipment today, but it supports the identity of the venue and the fact that it was fitted out as a billiards room rather than merely appearing in an old directory. For a visitor, the practical takeaway is that the venue has a history of being designed around longer social playing sessions.

Opening hours are one of the more consistent pieces of information. The operator Facebook page is indexed as “Always open,” and Địa Điểm 247 also states that the club is always open. That supports a 24-hour schedule for planning, although neither source provides a detailed note about holidays, temporary closures or overnight staffing. Anyone planning to arrive very late at night or early in the morning should call first rather than assuming that every service is available continuously. The listed hotline, 096 866 9615, is the best current contact found during this retry.

Current pricing is not sufficiently documented. Older descriptions say cues could be rented by the hour, but no reliable 2026 hourly table tariff, cue fee, membership rate or promotion was found. The same caution applies to drinks: historical directory text describes a varied beverage offer, but no current menu or price list was available. Visitors should therefore approach Xuong Billard Club as a pay-to-play billiards venue and ask for the table rate and any equipment charges before starting if budget matters.

For a normal visit, around one and a half to three hours is a reasonable planning estimate. Two people playing several racks may need less time, while a larger group rotating through games can stay much longer. The historically reported 20-table scale suggests the club was designed to accommodate multiple groups at once, but peak-hour availability cannot be inferred from old capacity figures. Calling ahead is worthwhile for a larger group, especially if you need several adjacent tables or plan to play during a busy evening period.

The Văn Quán setting makes this more of a neighborhood recreation stop than a central-city nightlife attraction. Visitors staying in Hà Đông or western Hanoi may find it convenient, while someone based around Hoàn Kiếm should expect a cross-city ride rather than a short walk. The sources do not establish current public-transport instructions, parking rules, or a specific entrance arrangement, so it is safer to use a ride-hailing map and the verified street address. Historical material says there was space for both cars and motorcycles, but current parking capacity should be checked on arrival.

Accessibility is not documented well enough to make a firm claim. No reliable current source confirms step-free entry, ramps, accessible toilets, table clearances or assistance for visitors with reduced mobility. The venue’s size, if the older 600-square-metre figure still roughly reflects the layout, does not by itself establish accessibility. Anyone with specific mobility needs should contact the club before traveling.

Xuong Billard Club is therefore a credible Hanoi billiards option with a consistent identity at 36 BT8 Văn Quán, a matching current phone number across sources, and a 24-hour schedule repeated by both the operator page and a local directory. The older material also gives useful context about a large multi-table layout, hourly cue rental, drinks and parking, while Goldsound’s client catalog independently ties the Văn Quán venue to a purpose-built billiards installation. The exact 2026 table inventory, prices and amenities remain less certain, so the best approach is to confirm those details by phone and use the club primarily for what the evidence supports most strongly: a dedicated place to play billiards in Hà Đông.
