    Billiard tables
    D. Remidee B.

    Nice place to hang and play pool for a casual hangout. Great for groups, my friend likes the drinks there but I've not had any of their food or drinks. The bar looks small with limited options. The people are kind and helpful.

    Went on a Thursday night and the place was packed, there were many people there of different ages and it looked like the spot to go to. It's located around a bunch of different restaurants so you can always eat before or after you come in. The service wasn't friendly, just felt like people who were getting by their shifts, which is fine imo because I get it. We gave our name to the person in front and he didn't give us an estimate, just said that there's a short line and we'd have to wait. We ended up waiting around 20-30 minutes, which was doable because we decided to just chill and get drinks. There wasn't really a waiting area, but we found a spare chair to sit/hover until our table was ready. One of the bartenders working there that night was super rude. I didn't see a drink menu and I asked for a simple recommendation for sweet drinks (her favorite to make, drink, or a popular order by customers would've sufficed) and she gave me attitude instead. The bar wasn't busy and she talked and looked at me like I was a huge annoyance. I'm not asking for a huge smile and a "my pleasure" attitude for service, but some bare minimum kindness and patience would've been great considering that our conversation was less than 2-3 minutes. I still decided to order a drink and we were given a table near the front. The pricing is fair, it was $18 an hour after 5pm ($10 before 5) and I still had fun with my group despite the unpleasant exchange. The atmosphere was lively and everyone there seemed like they were having a great time. There are other games there that you can play like foosball and darts. I'm not eager to come to this establishment again but I'm not opposed either as I did get to eventually play my games of pool with ease.

    Don't let the blacked-out windows scare you off--this place is worth checking out if you're looking for a casual spot to play darts or billiards with friends. Just know that it's very much a no-frills experience. There's no warm welcome when you walk in, and most of the regulars seem to stick to their cliques, but if you're coming with your own group, you'll be fine. This was my first time here, and we came to play darts. The dartboards are in the back, and you'll need to grab the darts from the counter. It's $0.75 per player, and most dart games allow a max of four players. There's no one guiding you, so you just claim an open board and get started. There are some tables near the dart area for your group to hang out, but they're first-come, first-serve, so plan accordingly. The vibe can feel a little intimidating at first, especially with the crowd being mostly young adults, but once you get into your game, it's a lot of fun. Definitely a good spot if you're coming with a laid-back mindset and just want to hang out and play.

    Kelly gave my group great service and I appreciate her help. The establishment is amazing with a great atmosphere and I can't wait to be back. The chicken tenders with fries hit the spot. We got a ton of beer pitchers, last call is at midnight

    I go here pretty frequently because it's sooo near everything! Really convenient to just go to after a dinner at the nearby places! The pricing is pretty good and fair, the ambiance is great too! They have a station where you can queue up a song for 50 cents! Definitely my go to place. Only thing is you can't bring outside food and drinks.

    This is the spot to go to so you can mop your friends in billiards. Good selection of brew, good food, too-i kid you not! Very clean spot, a ton of tables and doesn't feel too cluttered in there. They have other arcade games while you wait- if there aren't any tables available. Great lighting. They got a jukebox so everyone can pick and play a song in Que if that matters to you!

    Amazing experience!! Great food!…read moreFun for birthday parties!! We hosted my son's 10th birthday!! It was fantastic!!

    First the good: food was good in my opinion. Everyone was happy with their meals and quality. Game…read moreroom was fun and kids had a great time here, overall pretty tidy throughout. It was pretty dead on Father's Day when we came in but I can imagine how busy it can be and there are lots of activities in as a whole. Bummer that game cards don't let you have tickets for games unless you upgrade it? It was our first time here so maybe something to do with them being free as a bonus to something else. No biggie, kids had fun playing and that's more important. Unfortunately that's where the positives stop. The Bad: service in the main dining area was rough, and that's putting it nicely. I did privately message the business but it seems that only respond publicly. We came in on Father's Day for the first time. Got a young lady with dyed red hair as our server. She couldn't answer any questions about the menu, my mother in law was asking how many wings on the sampler to see if it would be enough (which is not stated in the menu) and a few other questions, all met with "I don't know". Ok whatever, nothing to fuss about. But the problems kept coming. Everyone got their food, she never brought the kids drinks, didn't check back when food got there until having to be flagged down. The whole time, she was within sight but busy chatting with the bartender and coworkers. When we brought up the missing kids drinks her attitude shifted like we were the problem. Had to flag her for beer refills, drink refills, she never asked if anyone needed anything when she did come by to drop things off and she would literally drop an item and zip away before anyone could ask. We weren't high maintenance but when you don't even bring things we asked for to begin with, like yea, we're going to ask for them. The worst part is, when my mother in law got up to use the restroom, which has her walking past the host stand, there was our server bad mouthing us to the hostess, not discreetly at all. She was saying that we're acting like she's not taking care of us. Girl, you aren't! Basic service is not being met when you're not at the least bringing people's drinks or checking on us without having to be flagged down. Especially when there's barely anyone here. She just stopped coming by and we had to flag someone else down just to pay and be done with it. It really is a shame because we did like all other aspects of Big Al's. My in-laws drove all the way out from Visalia to spend the day with us there and the grandkids and to have to overhear your server talking trash so openly is just wildly inappropriate. We weren't copping an attitude, being rude or short with her. Please and thank you for everything, but if people asking you for things is a problem, or you're going to take offense instead of accountability, then maybe service isn't your thing. And management should really address the professionalism or lack thereof. Some people may not take a serving/restaurant jobs seriously, but it's a real job and it's how I paid my bills and provided for myself and family for 22 years.

    I will stay away!…read morehttp://www.ktvu.com/news/news/crime-law/man-slashed-fight-pool-hall/nR2BG Posted: 5:22 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 1, 2012 FREMONT, Calif. -- A man was slashed in a fight at a Fremont pool hall Wednesday night, Fremont police said. The possible stabbing was reported Los Dos Amigos Billiards at 41057 Fremont Blvd. at 11:40 p.m., police said. When officers arrived they found a victim who was covered in blood and had cuts on his head. The victim was taken to a hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening. He was later released from the hospital. An investigation into the assault revealed that the victim started the fight by choking the suspect and then dragging him outside. The suspect later caught up with the victim and slashed him a few times with a small folding knife with a 4-inch blade, according to police. The suspect has not been found, police said. He is described as a Hispanic man, about 22-years-old, 5 feet 2 inches tall with an average build. He was last seen wearing a black baseball hat, a white tank top and jeans. He is presumed to be armed with the knife, police said.

    it's the only pool hall in fremont that i know of or even in the tricity area for that matter…read more they have 5 pool tables and it's hard to find the place (in the back of a strip mall near a car wash) it's clean but bear minimum... and it's very spanish...lots of spanish music, mexican beer, etc guess i should have know by the name.
