Austria Vancouver Club in Richmond in 2025

The Austria Vancouver Club is a non-profit club in Richmond. Founded by 18 Austrian immigrants more than 50 years ago, the club proudly continues Austrian traditions on the west coast. The club is for and run by its members. The general public, however, is also welcome to attend club events.

The cultural centre has traditional European decor. It features a big hall with a small raised stage, more than 30 tables, a dance floor, kitchen and a bar. During the Oktoberfest events especially, you can picture yourself in a real Austrian community hall! It’s a neat place!

The club hosts various events and is open to everyone. Family Nights take place most Friday evenings with special entertainment and traditional food. Austrian favourites on offer typically include pork hock dinners, frittaten soup, pork schnitzel, potato salad, mehlspeisen dessert, and more. The Austria Vancouver Club also hosts Oktoberfest events in the fall with live music, dancing, beer and more.

Location & Directions

The Austria Vancouver Club is located at 5851 Westminster Highway in Richmond. It’s in the northwest region of the city close to the Fraser River. The venue is about a 10-minute drive from the Richmond Olympic Oval, Vancouver International Airport and Richmond Summer Night Market. Steveston Village and Lansdowne Centre are also only about 10 minutes away by car.

For people driving to the cultural centre, it’s good to know a couple of things in advance. The building is not accessible from Westminster Highway. Instead, turn north on Lynas Lane and then take the first right onto Dover Crescent. The Austria Vancouver Club is on the right side, so across the street from Dover Neighbourhood Park. There is lots of parking available on-site.

We went to the event three years ago and it was wonderful. There was a band and lots of food, drinking and dancing. There was also some exceptional entertainment! The AVC Edelweiss Dancers are impressive!
