BX Club

The British Ex-Servicemen's Club is located in the heart of East Vancouver on Kingsway just west of Knight Street.

This quaint British style club boasts a fine selection of European and domestic beers and spirits at a reasonable price. Enjoy a drink on the outdoor deck or watch sports on one of five televisions. We carry weekend soccer games on satellite. For those looking for a bit more activity there is a pool table and four dart boards. The club also sponsors dart teams, golf tournaments, dances, meat draws and many special events. This is a member's club but visitors are welcome.
