Big Al's does everything "BIG" So you say you like "big" things? (Is that what I hear?!??!)

They make you a glass and then some on the side for you to share! OTHER * Flat screen televisions (many of them in every size you can think of!) * Second floor dedicated to games, video arcade and air hockey * 2 Large bars equipped with alcohol of your choice I do not have any skills when it comes to bowling, but after a couple rounds of beer and shots of vodka, my inebriated state causes me to actually bowl a decent strike if I'm lucky =X FYI: * Located near New Seasons, Cinetopia and a large shopping plaza * Open late on weekends * On Friday's: Last call for alcohol is 12:15 AM * Ample parking lot * Cocktails and beer run average around $8-10 *1 round of bowling is about $8-9 (includes shoe rental) So if you're hanging out in suburbia and just want to chill and have fun with your friends, Big Al's is worth going to!

i am currently sitting at a table with my three family members at big als. admittedly, it's sunday, so my bad for assuming i could go anywhere family oriented and have a pleasant experience. let me preface this by saying big als would probably be a really great establishment if it was completely empty and quiet. the game selection is good and the bowling lanes seem perfectly nice. HOWEVER, it's currently packed with screaming kids, inconsiderate parents, and employees who appear to have been hired 15 minutes ago out of a high school gymnasium. the wait for bowling is 45 minutes even though i can see multiple lanes open. they wouldnt give us our complimentary fun cards until we paid, which they wont allow us to do until our wait is up. why wont they take our money? we're sharing a mediocre cheese pizza that took far too long to be served and the accompanying plates appear to be unclean. every time we interact with each other, we either yell "WHAT?" or give up because the unintelligible turn of the century music is turned up to maximum volume (likely so we cant keep expressing our irritation). anyway, we're all annoyed and at increased risk for tinnitus. read more

Thanks a lot, Yelp, for telling me this place was like Dave & Busters. BEWARE, IT'S NOT. I was on the hunt for old school arcade games, all this place had a bunch of those stupid kiddie ticket machines (VERY EXPENSIVE ONES), bowling and a bar. I should have known immediately when I was mowed down by thirty first graders when I opened the front doors, but my ignorant ass foolishly dumped $40 into one of the game card machines before I realized what I had stumbled in to. Needless to say, I'm now the proud owner of $39 Big Al's card. PARENTS: Take your kids to the Wunderland Nickel Arcade. It's literally the same games, for 1/4 of the price. read more

Overrrrrpriced and their happy hour is really pathetic. $5 for a chicken quesadilla. Compared to everything else on their ridiculously menu, it sounds good, right? Let's break it down. 1 8" tortilla folded in half with about a laughable amount of chicken and cheese. Sprinkle on some dried parsley from those plastic Costco containers and voila! Don't you worry though, there are plenty of other pricey items to still be hungry with! read more

This place has a lot of fun activities but the teenage staff are fairly rude and really terrible with customer service. We showed up a few weeks ago on a Saturday. The group of 3/4 kids behind the counter were all huddled up chatting and it seemed to bother them to have to get us shoes for bowling. The boy who wound up helping us literally sighed when we asked a few questions. Really? If you're coming with a big group this looks like it would be a fun place. We've done drinks upstairs near the simulator and that was fun. Management: teach the kids about customer service. They need the help. read more

I've never had bad service here until today. The woman bartender ignored us when we sat at the bar. She purposely walked back and forth several times and slowly put dishes away. After another bartender put our order in she finally came over to see if we'd been helped. Mind you that it's quiet, maybe 3 other couples at the bar who had all already ordered. Later I ordered another drink from her and she was rude and short with me. Her drink was also over loaded with syrup and gross. She was polite to other couples but made a point to ignore us. I've been coming her for years. I even tipped her 20% because I respect the establishment. I attached a pic. read more

Big Al's - Rude bar tender upstairs - Sports Bars Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

Until now Big ALS would be a 4 or 5. Good food and drinks. But not anymore. Went in at 8:30 pm and was seated by a friendly hostess. Server after server avoided eye contact. 8:50 and no water or contact from any employee. Went down the street to a place with as much if not more business and we were helped immediately. Big ALS is a big bust. read more

Pretty cool place. Two indoor bowling alleys, 30-40 arcade games, sports bar. I had the Stadium Burger and some beer-battered fries, both were well prepared. The place is cavernous, easy to get lost, especially with a few long islands under your belt. Ya feel me? read more

We went here about a week after Big Al's opened and I was blown away by how awful this place was. Honestly, when I heard about Al's I was excited because it was so close to our house and it had a bar and games, etc. ... When we arrived and tried to get a table we were told it would be about a 45 min wait, so we got on a list and then went upstairs to the bar to get a drink and some appetizers. It took our waitress almost ten minutes to come and check our ids. We ordered some drinks and some appetizers then we were informed by our waitress that if we wanted to have appetizers before our meal downstairs we should just pass because the appetizers were taking over and hour to get out.. so we went with drinks...fifteen minutes later we got our pitcher. After about 45 min we got our page to get our table downstairs. We got our table and even though we still all had our drinks from upstairs our server decided she needed to see everyones drinks again. She then informed us that it was happy hour. We were stoked and ordered a bunch of food. About twenty minutes later she came back to our table and informed us that actually Big Al's doesn't have happy hour on Fridays and we would have to re order.... about another 45 min later we got our new order. The food wasn't horrible but it wasn't great and arriving at 8pm for dinner and finally finishing around 11pm is not my idea of a good time. We will not be coming back. read more

Good things come in big packages! Big Al's is quite the place. Been here about four times for date nights and meeting friends and overall it's been impressive each time. At first it can be a little overwhelming. There's bowling over here, a restaurant somewhere over there, bar in the middle, loud machines going off above you, wow, a lot going on. After you take a few minutes and walk around it all makes sense. Food and Drinks- Typical sports bar menu. Pizza, burgers, sandwiches, salads, fried goodness, etc. Nothing fancy, just decent food, and not overly expensive for what you get and the portions are pretty big. My favorite so far is the pizza. Nicely done without gobs of cheese turning the crust super greasy. Plus there was a great veggie option for me and they're glad to do a half and half which makes it easier. Great selection of drinks, especially craft brews on tap. They smartly have a lot of local beers available, which can be a problem at chain restaurants. Some fun cocktails as well. Drinks area way overpriced, but it's a chain place, and of course this is where they're going to make money. Bowling- Well taken care of bright and shiny lanes. You may have to wait awhile for a lane if they get really busy, but otherwise it's fine. Everything is clean and the check in process is simple. Atmosphere- Brilliant! Restaurant is built amphitheater style in front of what has to be the largest big screen tv in Oregon. Fantastic to catch a Blazer game! Highly recommend this. Big Al's aims to please and keep you around awhile and they put a lot of effort into quality service, ambience, and attention to detail. With as busy as it gets, the restrooms are always nice and clean which is important. Negatives- Great place for families, but keep in mind that it is big and loud and a little crazy at times with people running around. They don't exactly have the best flow and it can be hard to figure out where to go to get started. It would really help having a hostess at the front asking what you would like, i.e. bowling, dinner, kids games, etc. Really would help a lot. read more

You all know what you're coming here for. It's going to be huge and populated as it's an amusement hall. Don't expect poetry reading and ballet recitals here. With bowling, restaurants and kiddie arcade games, it's a recipe for a fun night for all. It's fun at the restaurants/ sports bar if you're well attended by servers that knows what they are doing and doesn't give you attitude then eat their words at the end. Yes, I'm talking to you lady whom I ordered tiramisu from and telling me you're not an "Italian" restaurant, then biting your tongue when I showed you, you have one. And you offered me one on my next visit. And I said, thanks. You'll get entertained with the huge screens that plays different sports. It's fun and the food is edible. Nothing spectacular here. Get lost in the sea of arcade games with your friends. Do the vitrual skip rope and spend all night there. Yes, I almost did. The bowling lanes are fun to conquer. While some may argue it's not on the cheap side. Well, save up. Simple. Win tickets. Win friends. read more

Big Al's serves quite a few purposes. It's a bowling alley, restaurant, sports bar, arcade - basically something for everyone except people looking for somewhere quiet to hang out. From the moment you walk in, there is NOISE. So here's the highlights. Bowling - you can do it per game or per hour in the power lane. Depending on your group size and bowling speed, the power lanes can be cheaper. The lanes are well kept and clean, but damn if those animations aren't absurd. Restaurant/sports bar - directly behind the bar is the biggest screen I've ever seen playing a multitude of sports in different sizes. There's not a bad view in the joint. The menu is pricey but haven't had anything bad so far. The nachos are huge. And there's definitely decent beer on tap and your choice of size. Arcade - kid zone, but still a good time. You can walk around with your beer (anywhere actually) and blow through money pretty quickly up here. It's a good place to go. They just really need to change their website name... read more

I have been coming here for years, and when I went in recently to watch a football game I noticed kids were running all over in the 21 and over area. That's because, there is no more 21 and over area... apparently the only child free oasis in this HUGE location has been overrun. I was wondering why for the duck vs husky game there were tons of open tables upstairs. I've never seen it so empty for a game like that and I would guess that's a big reason why. The only positive is with so few people I got great service from our bartender! read more

It's super bowl Sunday and we have 2 bartenders on staff. 2 bar tenders who keep going down stairs and not constantly waiting on customers. This was not a surprise event, it's planned a year in advance. They are no prepared for a crowd. Very unprofessional. Who ever is in charge if staffinG drastically dropped the ball. read more

A group of friends and myself attended $1 Bowling Night on a Monday. Unfortunately we ran into issues with the front desk personnel who accused us of not paying for our game. Instead of confronting us about it, they shut off our lanes. The situation escalated to a completely unpleasant encounter between my friends and the personnel at the desk. In the end, they discovered that the cashier charged us for the wrong thing and it was not our fault. My friend got in touch with management and, to our surprise, they set up a formal meeting with our group, the manager, the general manager and the regional director! We had a great conversation about how the situation could have been handled differently and how they appreciated our business. They also offered a free night of fun for the four of us! It was great to see how seriously they took the situation and how much they cared about what had happened to us. I was prepared to write a really nasty review but the customer service and genuine concern of upper management turned our frowns upside down! We will be going back! read more

We went here for the afternoon on a day that school was out. I admit, I had high expectations and was ready to have a good time with two teenagers. First off, the kid at the front desk was completely personality less! We had never been so he asked us if we wanted to pay by the game or by the hour. He barely made eye contact and didn't explain what it meant. I picked by the game. That put us next to all the little kids who use bumpers and ramps! I should have asked to move to the other side but I was still lost. Then we ordered food. The kid at the food counter was just as ineffective! We ordered 3 things and the place was empty. It took 30 min. And I had to ask 3 times for a soda. The kids that work there need better leadership and they really need to improve the quality of food for the price. We won't go back. As a matter of fact, we left after one game and went to Top Golf! Much better read more

Love/hate relationship with this place. I love the fact that during summer seasons they have the $2 shoe rental and $1 bowling on wednesday nights. Nice to gather a couple of friends and bowl for a few hours. If bowling isn't your game they have a great variety of video games at the arcade area and bonus at the bar upstairs there's free arcade games if you are over 21. Great place for a fun date night or just hanging out with friends. The bar upstairs also have shuffle board and pool tables, the selection of beers upstairs is lacking compared to the downstairs bar and restaurant. The beer specials also differ across bars. Only con is the food is your typical pub fare. A tad overpriced except for happy hour but it's average bowling alley food. Place has always looked very squeaky clean. Balls looks new and shoes are a bit beat up. Place is huge lots of entertainment for family and friends. read more

This place is HUGE and has a little something for everyone: --Bars with games going on multiple screens of all sizes --Regular bowling lanes where you pay by the game --Swankier bowling lanes with cushy couches and music videos blasting where you pay by the hour --Arcade games and prizes covering an entire floor The bowling was great. I took 4 kids today and you can set it up so that bumpers pop up depending on who is bowling, so you can mix and match skill sets in the same lane. The nachos are a mountain of food! Of course, the kids wanted to escape to the arcade stuff and that always adds up way too quickly from my wallet's perspective, but I can vouch that they had a good selection and no-questions-asked policy if a machine spit out the wrong number of winning tickets. They took care of it immediately. Overall, a great addition to the neighborhood and I'm sure it'll be all the more popular during the fall/winter seasons when indoor fun is more appealing. read more

My kids love this place. Bowling, games, food. And for the adults, happy hour starts at 2 pm on Fridays. You're welcome. We spent Friday afternoon cranking out strikes and spares and tearing it up on the arcade floor after throwing back some appetizers and drinks. read more

Go for the entertainment, not the food. We've waited a long time for a sports bar that is kid friendly. Cause, come on... the kids like watchin' Blazer games, too. The food is overpriced and crap. But, that's to be expected of a sports bar of this caliber. I will pay good money for food, but it needs to be better. Their tower of onion rings? 9 bucks, for 9. And they are not tasty. Their famous nachos? Over salted chips with a dollop of toppings. Not nearly enough toppings to last through those chips. Like I said, entertainment value is great. Kids love it, good way for the parents to watch a game, but the food is less than spectacular. You're better off ordering from the little shack menu outside of the main bar/restaurant. read more

This review is based solely on their restaurant: I would just advise stay away from the food, but the drinks are fine to order. I understand it's a sports bar type restaurant, but I expect their food to uphold a certain standard. Our friend asked the waitress for some pepper jack cheese to put on his burger and she came out with a slice of American cheese sprinkled with some hot pepper flakes. Who does that? Then when the waitress was confronted, she did admit this is how they do pepper jack here and admitted it was not conventional, but it tasted real good she said. I just feel iffy about it. How can a huge restaurant only carry cheddar and American cheese only? Makes no sense to me. Our boneless wings were mediocre at best-all breading and not much chicken present, and our other friend's burger order kept coming out wrong after he said something. Even though we were still hungry after the fact, we just decided to wait and grab food elsewhere. Sorry restaurant in Big Al's, you did not impress me. read more

Great atmosphere in the bar for any sporting event! We went to watch the ducks game here twice both times-- great fun! Liter beers or ciders bar food and enough to take home! The screens are big so any place in the joint you can enjoy! I wouldnt suggest going into the arcade or bowling unless you have a deal. SO. EXPENSIVE. And its not worth it. But if you dont have kids we like the video poker right next to the bar! Walked away with $100!! read more

My husband enjoys going here...well because of the big screen tv's when there is a big game going on. So, he wanted to go there today to watch the women's World Cup Final. My 3 year old son loves it because of the games. I have been there twice before and was skeptical because I have never gotten good service here and the food is mediocre at best. The first time we went there, there was an extra beer on our tab that was a different kind that what we had been drinking all night. We explained to the server that it was not ours, but she said someone at our table had ordered it and she thinks he already left so someone at the table needed to pay for it. Really? We paid for the beer, but we took it out of her tip. So, we tried again today. In all fairness they did warn us that it would take a while to get us served once they sat us because the server had just gotten a few new tables. No problem. He came over and got our drinks and food order all at once which was nice. But, then our food came out and he had completely forgot to ring in my sons mac n cheese. That's like a cardinal sin when dining with 3 year olds. Forget my meal!! But, don't forget the kids. We told the guy who dropped our food off, which was not our server, but it took so long to get it my husband had to go up to the kitchen and ask about it. Finally it came and our server did apologize and feel really bad about it. He did give us a loaded card to play games upstairs for $10.00 to make up for it. So, at least they are trying. It just seems that there are always a ton of servers in there, but you are going to wait still and there is no really system. Either that or they are hiring really inexperienced servers and maybe they need to revisit their hiring practices including their chefs! read more

Woooooo...this part of Beaverton is on the swanky side. Big Al's located across the newish Beaverton Cinetopia. I was wondering why the building of Big Al's is so huge. I walked inside and OH HELL NAW...NAW WAY...they have bowling lanes after bowling lanes with BIG screens so you can bowl and watch sports or music video clips. We didn't bowl at the time we went there. We played their arcade games upstairs. I love winning tickets so I can get more cheesy stuff for my cheesy collections. I'm a novice in Skee Ball so I was happy to see they have about 4 skee ball machines. We played the Giant Tetris also. It was phun! We didn't consume any food or drinks here so I can't tell you how they are. We will come back here for bowling perhaps during the matinee time. Yes, they have cheaper rates for different time of the day. Till then, I'm gonna practice my skill on my Wii. read more

I came to Big Al's with a small group of good friends for my last night in town as a way to enjoy one more evening of eating drinking & entertainment. I didn't have any expectations coming in, but the staff at this establishment just made my night and made this the perfect ending to an awesome experience in Beaverton. We had some appetizers down at the sports bar and were served by really friendly and attentive bar staff. One of the bar tenders at the sports bar who helped us was AmberLee; so sweet and helpful! The part of the evening that really took the cake was the great service we received in the arcade. The night was ending and we came to cash out a decent amount of tickets. I spent roughly $60 and ended up with about 2,500 tickets to spend! I was happy to get to bring home some cute prizes to my daughter, yet as I was wondering down the prize aisle to pick my prizes, the loaded game card disappeared. My group searched high and low and I rechecked my pockets and purse multiple times, so confused about where it could have gone in that short timespan when I hadn't left the prize room. Taylor, one of the shift leaders in the prize room, was so empathetic as he saw me standing there looking so distraught and embarrassed. My whole group was pacing around trying to see if I somehow dropped it, but it was nowhere to be found. We explained the situation to Taylor and he had seen me just check the balance moments earlier. Thankfully he was able use his knowledge of the computer system and some information about the games I had played to help pull up my balance again and deactivate the missing card. We were so relived after spending hours playing (and a good amount of money) that I walked away able to get the cute prizes I had rightfully won. Especially since the real winner tonight is my toddler, who will be over the moon about the Trolls lunch box I'm bringing home for her. Thank you Taylor! You're the real MVP and saved our night. I'm sure whoever swooped my card up as I was meandering down the prize section is going to get one big karmic cavity from all the stolen candy they took home tonight. We're pretty positive a pair of girls lurking nearby probably jacked the card as it fell from my pocket, because they were side eyeing us and watching us all search frantically for the missing card. Luckily the good costumer service provided left us all with a good impression in the end!! read more

Okay, truth time. I hate bowling. I suck at it. My wife has to either guilt trip me or bribe me with alchohol to get me to acquiesce to even thinking about bowling. So Oregon, rains, a lot. So guess what, wife thinks of fun indoor activities. So I get conned into going here with the promise that it's like Dave and Busters. Lets get something straight, Big Als, IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LIKE, Dave and Busters. WIth that out of the way, fairly impressive upstairs arcade. Kid and family oriented 100%. No beer islands, no alchohol servers. Hell, other then Buck Hunter, I didn't see one violent video game. SO if you have little ones, right on. Have at it. This disappointed me though.. I'm a Gound Kontrol guy at heart. So, bowling. They have cheap lanes, clean and nice I suppose. Then you have the VIP lounge style lanes. Matinee is $25, primetime is $37 an hour. Plus shoe rental. I am told this is extremely pricey. I have no experience otherwise to compare though. Drinks are expensive. But it's a upscale sports bar family bowling alley. I expected this. Hef on tap, and I think Blue moon also. Ended up getting a pitcher with the wife. The VIP lanes have plush red couches and big screens playing popular edited music videos. Nothing here really impressed me honestly, but it was a 'decent'' time. My wife was absolutely in heaven. She also bowls perfect games. How I get my assed kicked by a 115 lb woman, I have no idea. I bow down to her superiority in this sport though. She gives this place 6 stars. Fortunately I'm the yelper though. Anyway, the bowling balls had better then average patterns. I chose a flaming ball, you get an extra star just for that. read more

THE most friendliest staff ever. I'm from Cali and my cousin took us here just to play some bowling and WOW. This place is amazing. California's bowling alley are all trash compared to this one. We came here on a Wednesday night and after 9pm it's $10 for as many games until 11pm (close). Played a good 3 rounds and had the best time ever! It seemed like it was cosmic bowling(?) just because it was dark and there were some cool neon lights. The background had a projector that plays music videos and it's really cool. I want to come back again and again. I LOVE IT! read more

See all

If I have to go to the bar and order my food and drink, then what is the tip part on the bill for? Fair warning. No pink on your burger means "burnt". Drinks are pricey even though you have to go order and get them yourself. read more

Been coming here the last 2 years and will not return. I came here 5 days ago and got the same 2 drinks and the same drinks for 2 years and it was $12. Came in today and it was $26!!! I was told "different servers charge different things." HOW??? $13 a drink for vodka cran??? read more

So much fun here. Great food and great employees here as well. Wonderful place to hang out but can get a little too much with drunk younger punk people. Not cool and not something I think they should allow but they don't do anything about it. I had a time when I guy push me and my husband than gave us dirty looks and walked about than about fell over and I let the security person know and they did nothing. The guy did it again and still nothing. Bad security there. read more

I was here with my family on the 28th and our good time was interrupted by the staff. There was a short brunette lady talking down to a young male staff member. She was very rude and it ruined the atmosphere for us. If you have something to say to your staff do it in private! I felt bad for the poor guy. I'm also in the industry and this was incredibly unprofessional. We won't be coming back if this is how employees are treated. read more

New menu for the bowling alley and restaurant. Looks like some possible tasty burgers and cocktails but I haven't tried them yet, because... I had to say goodbye to the rotating Hopworks tap tonight. So sad.... But they will still have a general rotating tap, rotating Widmer IPA tap, rotating Rogue tap and rotating Alaskan tap, and Ninkasi Tricerahops is still always on tap, so I think I'll be able to make do....:) read more

This place is basically in my back yard so no reason to not check it out. It was Super Bowl Sunday so was prepared for the place to be bananas. Not to bad actually, even though the place is sporting 6 jumbo screens. All turned on to the game of course. Not sure if this I a regular Sunday thing or a special for the Super Bowl, but for $25 we had a lane for 4 hours, four shoe rentals, and 4 $5 game cards to use at the upstairs arcade. Pretty sweet deal! My friends bought the nachos and they were very good and about 2 feet high! Will def check this place out again. read more

Really disappointed with Big Al's and their new policies around kids in the Caddy Shack (upstairs bar) and down below area. The guest services manager I spoke to was very kind but reiterated to me that kids were now allowed everywhere. Apparently management didn't want to exclude children. Seems to me it would be okay to exclude kids from areas directly around bars... plus they get the rest of the building. The Caddy Shack had little kids running through and teenagers attempting to play pool resulting in pool balls jumping off the table several times. The whole atmosphere is now different and it is a total bummer. I won't be coming back here as there are plenty other bars around but it is really a bummer. I would love for Big Als to rethink this policy. read more

Great service!!! Mr. Picky tried several different beers. I had the artichoke dip! Great place!!! read more

Big Al's - Sports Bars Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

Came here with a large teenage baseball team, parents and siblings in tow. Large space for the group and room to expand. Something for everyone from bowling, arcade games and sports bar. Arcade games are of course my favorite. Service was great, they accommodated the group as it grew and got food and drinks to all and kept the tickets straight, bonus. Parking seemed to be a bit limited with such a large venue. Our server did disappear for a while but she eventually came back. Overall a great place and we will be back. read more

When I was growing up in the slums of beaverton/tigard, this was where the wealthy would race their porches, corvettes and ferarris. Open road, dark roads...now I come to find they're making it into its own mini-community. HUGE facility..really shocking the development....its good, I'm glad for the expansion and the entertainment options in the area improving. Went here to watch a blazers game. Its actually a great spot to watch a game. Service can be spotty and hard to get any help from anyone...our waiter was pretty nice though...he split the check up 5 ways which was really cool (we didn't ask, he offered). Food was kind of mediocre...the gigantic nachos were kind of a waste, the taste wasn't much better than nachos bel grande from taco bell....I suspect the use of cheap industrial ingredients that every corporate restaurant. It'd be nice for them to source locally..but I'm not thinking the food is where the profit margin lies. Beer menu isn't too bad. As for watching a game, its really good. Huge screens everywhere, better than a vegas sportsbook. read more

Took three friends with a Groupon we had. Groupon was $20 for a game, a $10 arcade card, a large pizza, and shoes for up to 4 people. Looking at prices this would have cost us at least $60 without the coupon. This place isn't bad really. It's just not very good. The food is way overpriced. The pizza was chewy and greasy and certainly not worth the $22 they would have wanted for it without our deal. The tables are very close together so you are subjected to the hooting, hollering, cheering, screaming, and crying (if children are losing) of everyone around you. The seats are awful too. Very tiny, very hard chairs that are on these snap back hydraulics to keep them close to the table. I could see children, obese/heavyset people, or the elderly having an issue with them. The games are overpriced and the upstairs sweltering, despite central air. There's a weird system where you buy a card to load money onto and then have to use that card only to buy tokens. I don't know why when installing this they simply didn't either pick games that required either tokens or the card. Getting to your favorite game to find you need to go find a different payment method is frustrating. There's also a lack of rules around the games. Yes, some things like Skeeball are assumed, but we played four player air hockey and it wasn't made clear if you were playing in pairs or til last one was standing nor did it state how long each swipe of your card payment was good for. I think this could be a really great place to hang out if you have a deal or if you eat beforehand (lovely selections of restaurants across the street!) but the food being overpriced and terrible quality is a real drawback. read more

Maybe it's the smalltown girl in me, but I left this place with stars in my eyes. I have never seen so much stimulation in one building: food, beverage, bowling, private cosmic bowling, game room, pool room, poker room...oh my! The hubs and I came to meet up with friends but we got there early so we sat in the massive sports bar/restaurant to grab some dinner and drinks while we waited. This bar had bar to ceiling TVs. I had never seen two story TVs before so this alone was pretty impressive. As it turns out "Handsome Dave" was our bartender and used to tend bar by our house so the hubs and I had a blast catching up. He had great food recommendations and dinner did not disappoint. HH prices were wonderful as well (drinks and food). We liked it so much, we are going back for Monte Carlo...then perhaps to watch a game...or will pool tickle our fancy? read more

Been waiting for opportunity to take the kids and was pretty disappointed. First you need to know the place is new and nice, but that comes with a price. The place is spendy. The food was good, but for $10 for a plain cheeseburger I want to be wow'd. Fires were very good but small portion. The burger came out a good 15 minutes before the other two meals. My biggest grief was with 3 minutes left in a close NFL game they turned all the tv's to music videos for cosmic bowling. The ironic part is all the staff were wearing football jerseys. Oh and their free wifi sucks and would not work for anyone. A lot of small parking spots, so I'll expect a door ding when I leave. Bartender did not inform me of specials like the other one offered. Lots of workers everywhere but not in a hurry to serve. No big plans to return anytime soon. read more
