    Nice place on a weekday to grab some drinks
    Mandar B.

    It's a nice dive bar. I have been looking for a nice dive bar to grab couple of drinks. This place you have look for it to find it. It has a good bar, pool table and good size outside space. Bartender Luchia was on point, was marking sure people have drinks. For Tuesday night, bar had good number of people. Will be going here for sure on a weekend for some drinks.

    This bar is pretty dope. Great mix of people in here. Working class bar for sure. They have a TouchTunes Jukebox too. They have a pool table which i newer too. Pool League play is here as well. The owners are good people. Just randomly met them there once. Really cool decorations. Cool patio outback as well. Bathrooms are clean, you can even order food next-door an they will bring it to you in the bar.

    This is the quintessential of your friendly neighborhood dive bar. Nothing too outstanding about the decor, but they have a lively atmosphere full of what seems like locals, a truly authentic space where everyone is just having a good time and the workers make everyone feel welcome. I love that they do karaoke on Thursdays and Sundays, 9pm- 1:30am. It's rare to find places that do karaoke till that late, so that's awesome... though only a couple small TV's for the lyrics. But we had fun this past weekend, watching people sing to a range of songs, from Britney Spears to Beyonce, and a little bit of country too. The bartender, Courtney, even sang some duets from the bar while serving patrons. There are six large TV's at the bar for watching sports or other shows, one pool table which apparently regulars here take very seriously, and a dart board that is oddly placed (right next to the DJ/KJ's head!?!). Also, there's a back patio for some air, but just like the interior, nothing special about the setup or decor. There's a small parking lot for convenience, but you probably shouldn't drive if you're drinking. And the drinks here are cheap and pretty good, so yeah, you'll probably be drinking. Good times at The G spot!

    Was chocked by neck by one of the employees without provocation when coming out of the rest room.

    This place used to be called Galaxy Lounge & Bar but they renovated and changed the name. They still give the same quality drinks and services. Great crowds even on Sundays. Great, friendly staffs and singers from all over Bay Area. I used to work and live in New York City and this bar gives me the goosebumps as when I first entered a karaoke bar. Superb.

    Never knew a neighborhood bar can offer a food menu to enjoy there or order for pick up or delivery…read more(through a third party) The foods are pretty good. I have tried several items such as street tacos, quesabirria tacos, burritos, Barbacoa (soup) and menudo (soup). My favorites are the weekend red menudo which has no hominy, but wish it did and the burrito (in both sizes). Menudo is one of the best in the area (I shouldn't say that too loud, but it's true). It's not watered down like other restaurants, it's full bodied and meats (tripe and pata) are soft. I do wish we had an option of hominy that we can request. Burrito have been filling as I have tried several meats. It's heavy to the hand and filling to anyone's belly. Sometimes I enjoy for 2 mini meals in a day. Quesa birria tacos are the third favorite. Cheesy, crispy and greasy in the best way. Consume is flavorful too. The least favorites are the barbacoa (soup) as itwas mostly broth and minimal shreds of beef, if any. The tacos are enjoyed by family, but there is an abundance of a taste or flavor I don't prefer. I maybe wrong but I think it's oregano (but again not 100%). The third not so fav are the regular nachos with just cheese and jalepeno. Also, a negative is that 2 orders were missing items. So check your bags to make sure. So thats not a good feeling when that part of someone's order but recourse is to drive back or let third party know to get a few dollars off. We prefer to receive order and enjoy. Not to follow up with a drive back or a complaint of an item shortage to get refunded a few bucks. Otherwise the staff inside are very nice and understanding. The menudo and burrito are favorited of mine. I will follow up and order other dishes or appetizers, along with the weekend red menudo.

    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.
