BBC Snooker Club Review - Snooker Hall in Kangar, Perlis

Last updated: 30 September 2026

BBC Snooker Club is a snooker hall in Kangar, Perlis, that combines play with retail. The venue sells cues, tips, chalk, and other accessories alongside its snooker tables, which is a practical combination that saves Perlis players from having to order equipment online or travel out of state. For Malaysia's smallest state, having any venue that stocks snooker accessories is a genuine convenience.

Play and Buy at BBC Snooker Club

The dual hall-and-retail model is BBC Snooker Club's most distinctive feature. In many smaller Malaysian states, snooker halls are purely playing venues with no equipment for sale. Players who need a new tip, fresh chalk, or a replacement cue either order online (with shipping delays) or make a trip to a larger city. BBC's retail component means you can pick up accessories on the same visit where you play, which is convenient for regular players and useful for anyone who discovers mid-session that their tip needs replacing.

The specific brands and price ranges of equipment available at BBC are not documented. In typical Malaysian snooker hall retail setups, you would expect to find budget to mid-range cues, a selection of tip brands and hardnesses, chalk, cue cases, and possibly gloves and tip tools. For premium or specialised equipment, players in Perlis would still need to look at retailers in Penang or Kuala Lumpur. Our cue buying guide covers what to look for when selecting equipment.

Location on Jalan Abi Tok Hashim

BBC Snooker Club is at 1339, Jalan Abi Tok Hashim in Kangar. Kangar is the capital of Perlis and the state's main urban centre, though it is a small city by Malaysian standards. Jalan Abi Tok Hashim is a known road in the town, and having a confirmed street address with a building number is more than what some Perlis venues offer in terms of location details.

Kangar is compact enough that most destinations are within a short drive. For players coming from other parts of Perlis, reaching Kangar should not take more than 20-30 minutes from most locations in the state.

What We Cannot Confirm

Like many snooker venues in smaller Malaysian states, BBC Snooker Club has minimal online presence. We could not confirm a phone number, operating hours, pricing, the number of tables, table brands, or smoking policy. There are no published reviews that we could find. This makes it difficult to assess the quality of the playing experience or the range and pricing of accessories available for purchase.

If you are planning a visit, the safest approach is to go during what would typically be standard evening hours for a snooker hall (usually late afternoon through late evening) and assess the venue in person.

Perlis Snooker Options

Perlis has just two identified snooker venues, both in Kangar: BBC Snooker Club and Galaxy Snooker Centre. Galaxy is the newer of the two, with premium features including a VVIP heated table and Wiraka/Aramith balls, but it has no formal address or contact information. BBC offers the advantage of a confirmed street address and the convenience of on-site accessory sales.

For players in Perlis who want a wider selection of venues or equipment, Kedah is immediately to the south, and Penang is within about an hour's drive. Both states have more established snooker scenes with multiple venues and better-documented options.

Who Should Visit BBC Snooker Club

BBC Snooker Club is suited for Kangar players who want to combine playing with equipment purchases, and for anyone in Perlis who needs snooker accessories without ordering online. The retail component is its key differentiator in a state with very limited options. For players primarily seeking the best table quality, Galaxy Snooker Centre with its heated VVIP table and new equipment may offer a superior playing surface, though it trades off the convenience of a confirmed address and accessory shopping.
