It's been about 2 years since Rickey's revival. I've been there there a few times now, and this…read morelast time was the best. I went there to watch the Valkyries game, the best sub for a Warriors games as I await the start of the new Dubs season a month and a half away. I was thrilled to find that they have two new mult-big screen configurations that combine to create two ultra screens! The staff there made sure I got a great seat in view of the ultra screens. For dinner, I ordered the Fried Ribs. They were a good size and fried well, turning out tasty and tender. I really enjoyed the included side of big steak fries, which were very hot and seasoned with the right amount of salt. The service was outstanding. I felt more like a guest in a home rather than a customer in a sports bar. Also there that night was a lively birthday party with a DJ and everything. I was tempted to get up and groove with them, but 1) I didn't have an invite and 2) It was clearly a girls' night out... The Valkyries lost, but Rickey's is a winner. Stop by and you'll feel like one too.

Rickey's Sports Lounge is an iconic Raiders bar that is very well known in the East Bay. I learned…read moreabout this place a long time ago, have watched UFC fights and had some good meals. The service has always been good, the food is pretty tasty with bar classics and cold beer. I believe the original owner, Rickey?, passed away a couple years ago and it closed. The new owner opened it up and kept most things the same. The overall vibe is still cool, it's a shame the Raiders left town to keep the fanatic spirit alive. I have a good friend that lives nearby, so will continue to stop by and support a legendary bar. Order some wings and a cold one if you're in the mood to watch sports and reminisce.

The folks here are very friendly and it's like one of those places where they have friendly relationships with the regulars. The prices here are more than reasonable and they have a pretty solid selection of spirits as well as beers. Came here on a Sunday evening to meet up with a good friend to catch up. We had a few beers and the place wasn't crazy busy but there were a few people in there playing some pool. Just a really solid spot to grab drinks and hang out in the Castro Valley area.

Came here to bowl and it was still early (11:30am) and it was not busy there were only two other lanes taken. The bowling set up is nice, many options on ball size and weights and it is super clean and organized. I had went to the bar and was just standing there waiting for someone to help, and finally someone came and told me to come back later cause he cannot pour. So I went back to bowling, when coming back to bar they said they cant serve until 12pm. Good beer options. The service overall was good, nice friendly young staff. Pricing is on the higher side but man those claw machines are a bust, we kept trying and could not win anything, it seems to barley even grip. It's better off buying the stuff animals at a stand they have in the mall. I am pretty shocked this place has bad reviews because I really enjoyed my time here.

Read this before going to Round 1 southland Mall. I used to…read morelove this place, I usually charge $55 to $100+ because of the additional points, and I will win good amount of toys, but as off now 02/17/2026 DO NOT GO TO ROUND 1 IN SOUTHLAND MALL. They are a scam now, with $100+ , you will win 1 toy if you are lucky, when I was there I overheard some guest talking to one of the employee, complaining that they have been trying this 1 machine for quiet sometime and the machine still did not give them a win after swiping 8 times! and the employee herself admitted that they were calibrating the machines and most of the machines are not ready for a win even after 8 or 9 swipes and to remind you 1 swipe now is 14 + points.. This place became so greedy. To be honest I gave it a chance , before this review I gave it a shot because I came here DEC, Jan and finally this was the last straw, during dec. I understand maybe they needed the extra revenue that's why they purposely mess up the calibration, so it won't pay out a win after a certain amount of swipes but now it's just ridicules. so please I'm warning people to please to do not come to ROUND 1 SOUTHLAND MALL. try other location maybe they are better. I'm just being honest with this review and like I mentioned, I use to love going here and spending $100+ and win a good amount of toys but now it's not worth it. I won't be coming back to this location for sure and it's a shame because this place use to be fun.

Promptly arrived on time and they took extra care of every detail making sure the floors and walls were not scratched etc. Carl took his time making sure every detail of the install and items in the room will not interfere with the table placement. We picked a vintage table. Having a new one will not blend with the decor and age of the room. A1 pool is the best place to shop and get your new or used table and accessories PERIOD ! This is an update on a recent transaction yet again very satisfied. Years later and they are still the same great to deal with and very professional and will always take care of your needs. They treat you like family. The installs and set up is done with utmost care. 100% recommended and we cant thank them enough. They have a wide selection of tables, cue sticks, pool cue cases and all accessories needed that will match your style both new and old. Stop by and have a look and support our local store.

Hope you like reggaeton and 20 seconds of good songs lol! I'm still rating a 5 because I know they will fix this problem, but my friends and I are going to skip the next few Saturdays for now.

Once you enter in the bar, go to the right, they'll give you a stamp on your hand, and then you can head downstairs. There are many lounge areas, and small tables & chairs to sit and drink at. There are also pool tables to use for free! There's also a DJ that plays GOOD r&b, hip hop, pop, and even some throwbacks too! The DJ that night took song requests and even gave a shoutout to the birthday girl in our group too. The cocktails were good, and I'm sad I didn't take pictures of it (had too much fun). The waitress will come to your table and you can order there OR you can also order at the bar. When I ordered at the bar, the waitress was so nice and helped me bring the drinks over to our table. I also had a taste of the fries, and the cups and guac and it was tasty too! There's some parking right infront or a parking lot behind the bar. I will definitely come back!

They were about 10-15 other guests but the places so big and spacious that it almost felt like we had a place to ourselves. There's a spot for a DJ/music and I can only imagine that they have some great shows here. The bartender was attentive, and while they weren't very personable you could tell that they knew several of the regulars. I didn't drink anything fancy, bourbon neat, but it was a fair pour. You order food separately. We are fish tacos, wings & nachos. The fish was fried and coleslaw had a touch of mayonnaise but not too much. This was my favorite dish. The wings of the nachos or what you expect, definitely flavorful and cooked well. We liked the crowd and will definitely be back to listen to some music and check out the lounge downstairs.
