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.

We were just looking for a place to chill, enjoy a drink and hear some music and that's exactly what we got. Wasn't too crowded, probably regular patrons present and a DJ playing a mix of Latin music, hip hop and rap. Definitely don't judge a book by its cover when coming here, it was nicer inside than the outside. The bartender Melissa was very sweet and attentive and made us some yummy strawberry lemon drops. They had a small DJ booth set up, TVs all around playing music videos (none of which matched any of the songs being played but we found it funny), a pool table and large connect 4 available for use with enough space for people to dance. Didn't come in expecting much but left satisfied and had an enjoyable time. And shout out to the guy in his shirt we found thoroughly enjoyed and the lady who was dancing all night like no one was watching, just out here living, I love your life lol

I'm usually a two drink gal but I only needed one this day because I enjoyed sipping on this so much. I went during the day so it was pretty empty but the vibe was still right. They played good music and the bartender was friendly. I'll definitely be back.

No longer are the days where you'll need to venture far and wide to satisfy your whole party's…read moredesire for amusement - this place has it all! Round1, a far reaching franchise, has enriched communities with a spot to host birthday parties, company functions, or just a couple hours out with the family or friends. Hosting several bowling lanes, a dedicated space for billiards, and a plethora of arcade games spanning almost every genre, no matter the event, your party members will have a great time! This particular location within the Southland Mall campus commands a multi-storied space accessible from the main parking lot that is seldomly packed. Upon stepping foot through the automated doors, you'll take the escalator or elevator up to the main floor where you'll find their bowling alleys, claw machines, arcades, and food service. As a first timer, it was quite overwhelming with all the flashing lights, colors, and sounds but find your way to the main registers/check in counters and they'll get you situated and informed. For those looking to bowl, the staff will set you up with a lane and you'll have the option to pay by the hour (VIP lanes) or by the game. For those with bigger parties, paying by the game may be more suitable but for those high speed rollers, they should cram as many games as possible in the hour as a VIP. Shoe rentals are charged extra but reasonably priced and can be forgone if you have your own pair. The lanes are pretty well maintained and configurable for each player (bumpers automatically come up if turned on for players). Balls ranging from 6 pounds to 14 pounds are easily accessible and bowler ramps are also available for the younger folks needing an assist. Aside from dropping some pins, consider pocketing some balls in a game of billiards, racking up some virtual tickets in the many arcade games, or scoring some prizes with the claw-type machines. To play any of their games, you'll need a game card that can be purchased through one of their kiosks or at the counter. Take note that there are three different cards: 1) timed game card (green lit games only), 2) regular game card (any lit game), and 3) VIP game card (same as the regular game card but is replaceable in case it gets misplaced). The cards can also be used across multiple locations so if there's another Round1 you plan on visiting, the funds you've loaded into the card can still be used. The venue also serves food and drinks although we didn't order any this time around. The options seem pretty extensive including pizza, ramen and fried snacks for the bites and soda and alcoholic drinks for beverages. With the many activities, food/drinks, and dining spaces, it's a great spot for small to medium sized parties. Larger parties might get a bit chaotic especially during peak hours but the arcade space didn't seem to get too crowded during our afternoon visit. The staff were pretty pleasant to work with and friendly in welcoming us. They all seem to keep busy in their respective roles which meant the place was relatively clean and organized for all patrons. Overall, Round1 seems to be a fantastic one stop shop for all things amusement for the young and the old. Games and activities are accessible and the environment is lively, keeping the vibe fun and light. We had a great time with the kids and enjoyed ourselves as well. Food seems reasonable priced and has a bit of variety to satisfy all tastebuds. The staff was easy to work with and the place is well kept. Being accessible to the mall, highways, and bridges, the place is convenient to get to and makes for a hassle free outing. Round1 might be the start, but it won't be a surprise if round two or three ends up following close behind!

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.

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.

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!
