    I came here for a date night with my husband. I reserved my lane online but still had to wait in a very long check-in line (even though the website says you can skip the line). There was only one cashier, and I know he was doing his best, so I'm definitely going to extend grace in that area. This location just felt like an old bowling alley. The SF Lucky Strike feels more way more updated. I did enjoy the music and the appetizer sampler. Their honey mustard sauce is really good. The drinks were okay. I drove about 30 mins to come here. I would've just went to a closer alley. But if you live in the area, it's a decent place to bowl.

    I came here yesterday night and had a great time. Staff were very kind and respectful. They explained how the process worked & how they keep your card on file after you are done bowling. They charge per person and per lane. Luckily, there were multiple lanes and we didn't have to wait to play. We ordered only one round of drinks. I got the skinny watermelon Red Bull Rita and my friend got a blue moon. I really liked my drink!! Didn't get any food so I can't review that. Great spot for bowling and arcade games!

    A very clean bowling alley. Although some people complain that the lanes have issues and the scoreboard looks a bit odd, it's actually great for casual fun. Every time you get a gutter ball, the system seems to reward you with 5 or 6 points, which makes it all the more amusing. Everyone just plays for fun, laughs, and has a good time. Plus, their fries are absolutely delicious. I'd actually recommend this place. Though to be honest, the bowling alley inside a certain university still ranks number one in my heart! lol 乾乾淨淨的球館,儘管有些人批評賽道有問題、記分板也怪怪的,但是如果純娛樂去玩的話,每一次的洗溝,系統都會獎勵似的給你5到6分,其實大家打一打娛樂保齡球,笑一笑就過了。尤其他們薯條真的超級好吃的,我其實會滿推薦這家店的。儘管在我心中某間大學的內設保齡球館才是第一名!哈!

    Made a reservation and overall was a smooth and fun experience! We ordered a few desserts, including a pizookie and some funnel cake fries. The only issue we had was that our lane seemed to have some kind of a "handicap." Any time we'd score 0 or below 3, it would give us a higher number on the scoreboard. We asked for help on this and said it was just going to reset on its own but it continued to show the incorrect scores.

    Hosted a last minute party for the kids and everyone had a great time. We were expecting average to below average food at a bowling alley but everything was really great. Service for the food was slow, but there was only 1 person I saw working in the kitchen initially on a busy Saturday afternoon with a lot of large parties arriving. She was doing her best. We really liked the chicken tenders (surprisingly good and not the typical frozen kind), nachos (added grilled chicken), and funnel cake fries. Burgers were solid too. Because the food arrived sporadically and a bit late, we had a lot of leftovers we wanted to pack things for our guests. The staff threw away the huge sampler platter while we were cutting cake unfortunately. We let the manager know and he was very responsive and had them make a fresh platter to go for us. Everyone there was very hardworking. The music and playlist were great as well for the adults, and arcade was fun for the kids. Really well run and would return and host more parties there. The bowling pin souvenir was a nice touch!

    Great Experience at Big Al's!…read more I had a really great time at Big Al's! The place is HUGE, lively, and was packed with people, but the atmosphere was still fun and welcoming. I was pleasantly surprised by how well everything was managed, and I didn't see any fights or drama between customers, which definitely made the experience even better. A special shoutout to Giana, my bartender! She was absolutely phenomenal--friendly, attentive, and made the experience that much better. I actually know Giana from her time at Dave & Buster's, so I was genuinely happy to see her here. She deserves to be somewhere that matches her energy and customer service, and honestly, Big Al's seems like a much better fit for her! After looking at the reviews and seeing the higher rating, I can definitely understand why people enjoy this place. Great atmosphere, great service, and great energy. Big Al's and Giana definitely earned my 5 stars!

The bar was front and center and plenty of booths and tables towards the back of the restaurant. Our group ordered a large pizza and their chicken nachos. The rectangular pizza was humongous. Flavor was there and plenty of toppings throughout. We only finished about a third of it. The nachos were also served on a big rectangular platter. Again, plenty of food for a party of four. I ordered my usual mule and it was easy to get three of them down! Service was great. The staff tended to our requests. Great place for groups.

    To think I haven't reviewed this place after visiting occasionally over the years. This is the…read moreclosest round 1 in the San Jose area, part of eastridge mall. There are two entrances - one on the second floor of the mall and an outside entrance on the same side of the 24 hour fitness. For both entrances, they will wand you for any weapons to ensure safety. From there, you can explore to find claw machines, arcade machines, a bowling alley and pool tables and darts. The collection of claw machines are from pop culture like Hello Kitty, One Piece, and cute animals. There are specific claw machines where you'll need to glad a staff member so they can unlock the machine and give you your prize. My partner wasn't too pleased by the collection of plushies since her round 1 in Roseville has a lot more to offer. Nonetheless, it was fun as we all got stuffed animals.

I walked into a space that gets loud and warm during busy periods, and cleanliness varied by section, but the overall setup gave my group plenty of options for a few hours of entertainment. The arcade is the strongest part of the offering. I found the selection of rhythm games solid and reasonably well maintained, and the claw and gacha style machines are what Round1 does better than most chain arcades. That said, individual claw machine plays run around four dollars, which adds up quickly if I am playing multiple rounds, and the tension on the machines is inconsistent enough that results feel more variable than skill based. The prize section near those machines tends to run warm compared to the rest of the floor. Racing games, fighting games, and photo booths fill out the rest of the arcade floor, and the overall variety was broad enough to keep my group occupied. Bowling is available but came with some caveats. The ball selection skewed toward smaller finger holes and very heavy options, with limited middle ground, so bringing my own ball would be worth considering if I bowled regularly. Party packages are available and include shoes and games, which streamlines the booking process for larger groups. For a casual group outing, birthday celebration, or evening with a mix of activities on offer, Round1 covers the bases adequately. Going in with realistic expectations about the cost per activity makes the experience more enjoyable. It is not a refined destination, but for what it is, it delivered a fun few hours.

I totally forgot the names, but the one I ordered had mint in it and was definitely strong! As someone who doesn't drink very often, it definitely hit me pretty quickly, but it was really good and not overly sweet. My friend ordered the drink with the flower garnish, which was a piña colada. It was sweet, refreshing, and super enjoyable. The ambiance was such a vibe, and the staff were amazing. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and consistently checked on us while we were at the bar. Even after we sat down, I noticed several employees walking around collecting empty glasses and keeping everything tidy, which is something you don't see everywhere and really stood out to me. Overall, it was a great experience with chill bar vibes, great drinks, and excellent service. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm looking for a fun and relaxed night out.

Checking in was fine, except I was asked to fill out a paper version of something I already filled out online. I had pre-ordered shirts for us, and they had my son's no problem. My shirt couldn't be found, and after having me wait for 30 minutes while they organized the shirt pile I had to demand one of the "same day sale" shirts because they were about to sell out and no one else thought of that solution. We finally get into the event and its dark. Its hot. We aren't allowed any outside drinks, not even water. Every game that wasn't broken (a lot were) seemed to have a line, and no one was in a hurry to let others play.

They are held at California Extreme in Santa Clara, Golden Gate Pinball Festival in Lodi and Pin-a-Go-Go in Dixon. California Extreme is not exclusive with Pinball Machines. There are also tons of arcade games for those who enjoy them. We have enjoyed attending these events whenever we're able to. In the past, our work schedules often got in the way. Now that we're retired, our vacation schedules often cause conflicts. The people who run this event have always done a tremendous job of getting others to bring their beloved machines, set on free play, for the masses to play. In return, they get free admission. A substantial number of volunteers are also needed to load-in, load-out, wipe down, perform minor repairs, scorekeepers, registration, check-in, etc., etc. We attend to see Pinball Machines that we've never seen before, to play with machines that are hard to find, to play new machines, but mostly to play in the tournament. Yes, there are cash purses and trophies or plaques to be one. Bragging rights galore! But for players at my level, it's mostly about WPPR Points that affect your International Flipper Pinball Association Ranking. As I write this review, I am 8640 out of 103,576 players in the world. Does it mean anything? Only to my ego. At one time, I was sub-3000. I simply don't play in enough tournaments to keep my ranking. This year's tournament entry fee was $2 per game. That is not particularly expensive BUT there was no limit to the number of entries that one could purchase. This changes that tournament of skill and luck to one of skill, luck and DEEP POCKETS. In my opinion, there should be a single buy-in. Everyone plays the same number of games on the games that are available. Yes, this will reduce the prize money but so what? Whatever happens, happens. If you have a great day, congratulations. If you have a lousy day, better luck next year. But under the unlimited buy-in, you just keep putting out money until you have a few good games to tie together for your final score. What? The tournaments almost over but you're in 11th place and only the first 10 places are in the money. Well, play some more and hope to improve your score and win! Anyway, without the tournament to play in, I will either only attend California Extreme one day only or skip it all together moving forward. Additionally, this year, for the first time, the Hyatt is now charging $40 to park overnight. This was either not disclosed at the time of booking or I somehow missed it. When I complained, it was discounted $20 because I was staying there for California Extreme and another $10 because I'm a Hyatt member. I was told that, "all the other area hotels are charging more for parking and the Hyatt is just trying to catch up." There was a 49ers exhibition game on Saturday, August 19th, and parking was expected to be at a premium and traffic would be a zoo. To counter that, we arrived way early to get a space. We arrived at 8:30 for a 10:00 opening. Because we left the house so early, we didn't have time to eat breakfast, but we had plenty of down time in the hotel (check-in was at 3:00pm), so we opted for breakfast in the hotel (see our review for Evolution). Breakfast Buffet at $28 per person vs Continental Breakfast at $22 per person. So, while California Extreme is still lots of fun, between the costs and the crowds and a Deep Pocket Tournament, it may be time for us to move on.
