Birmingham Entertainment Center (BEC, also known as Chubbys Three, Club Chubbys or Old Chubbys) is a nightclub and event center located at 2700 16th Street North in Acipco-Finley.

The business was incorporated in 2001 by Judy Davis and Leon Davis Jr as an outgrowth of their Chubby's Restaurant & Lounge located nearby at 2512 16th Street North. After a shootout which left three people injured in November 2009, Judy Davis applied to transfer the Lounge's liquor license to the newer facility. The former lounge continued to operate as an all ages event venue.

Another shooting took place outside the current club while it was closing early on the morning of Saturday, January 13, 2018. Two people, one of whom was a Birmingham Police officer, suffered minor injuries.
