Not a great family environment!
Big Al's bowling, arcade and sports bar spends a lot of marketing bucks trying to attract families.

We attended a birthday party for 9 year old girls. We entered through a wall of loud, drunken, smokers outside the front door who were in violation of WA States smoking ban. The sports bar is at least 10 times the size of the arcade.

As for the birthday party, the bowling lanes were not ready at the start of the party. The pizzas were late, but staff insisted that we vacate the party room on schedule.

There are no visible signs of extra security to insure children are safe guarded in this terribly chaotic environment.

Keep your family home.    [14 Jan 2007 22:55:48]

Be Realistic
I've had nothing but awesome experiences at Big Al's, both with my family & with adults only. The sports bar is what it is - a sports bar!!! With great food & service, I might add.
