Coming here for a 49ers game was one of the best watching experiences we’ve ever had. The place is absolutely massive with bowling, games, and massive TVs for watching events. There truly is something to do here for everyone. Parking was very easy to find as there’s a massive lot outside. There’s also an outdoor area if you want to have a nice breeze while you eat but it does feel a bit separated from the rest of the place if you’re looking to split time between eating and playing. They do get very busy and don’t take reservations or have an easy to access waitlist so be prepared in case you come on a big day. We would recommend coming an hour or so before gametime to make sure you can get a good table because it did fill up quickly. Since we were here to watch the 49ers play Monday night football we also got to take advantage of their happy hour specials, which was a big plus. We loaded up on food, here’s what we got: chicken, beef, and cheese quesadillas; one pound of buffalo wings; Big Al’s nachos; and a brookie.
The food did take quite a bit of time to come out, but to be fair to them the place was packed for Monday Night Football and there were some large parties. The portions are absolutely massive and can easily feed a large party. The quesadillas were delicious, everything was really. The nachos were stacked up high and the wings were pretty good although we ordered a second set that never came, presumably because they forgot them. The brookie was also very good, a nice sendoff for all the carbs we just put down. All the food plus the ambiance of cheering (and a Niners win) made this just a fantastic experience. Big Al’s is just a fun place to be at regardless of any games but when the Niners are playing this is definitely the spot to be at!
I hate leaving negative reviews, but this experience at Big Al’s was really disappointing. We went to claim a prize that was clearly labeled as 700 points, and the label on the shelf matched that price. However, when we went to redeem it, the representative said the system showed 1500 points instead. A few minutes later, they even changed the label to 1500 points.
It felt unfair and misleading, and we ended up leaving without claiming the prize. Hopefully, they can improve their accuracy and transparency so other customers don’t have the same experience.
Chill vibe. Different than the competition, but I prefere Big Al's. The party room, and bar is huge and accommodating. The arcade is fun, and the food is delicious.

Came here on football Sunday and it was packed but to be expected. Luckily, we found a seat at the bar and was greeted by Ferdie at the bar. He was very attentive to us despite the busy day for Big Al's and super friendly towards us as well. An overall pleasant experience.
The drinks tasted pretty great too! I usually like to keep it simple with my cocktails, but ultimately decided to try the Netflix & Chill and was pleasantly surprised by how great the drink was. I was recommended to try the Idaho Mule and ended up liking that as well. Will definitely come back here to grab a drink or watch a game!
