Finally made it to this place after reading about it and friends telling me about it. As I am an 80's kid and 90's teen this was a way awesome throwback to the days of losing all my quarters to the arcade. Huge selection of craft beers at great prices, a fantastic selection of vintage video games from the 70's, 80's, and 90's, and an unbeatable atmosphere. I wish they had more pinball machines, but I get that these machines are expensive to get and maintain. As such, there was always a line to play the silver ball. Still, well worth the trip and I will be back!!

Lots of great restaurants, from very casual to high end. Proximity to hotels make it a great location to host out of towers for business.

Recently visited for a Clue movie party. Alamo always does a get job of making any movie experience fun from the minute you seat in your seat whether it's the off the wall videos they play before the movie starts or the fun props they provide during a movie party, you are bound to enjoy yourself when you're at Alamo.

The Richardson Library is the ONLY library in the city of Richardson which makes it a great place to go. They have a huge selection of items to check out: movies, audio books, books. They also offer many programs for the community. The children's department is so much fun. It's colorful and interactive. A fun place for photo ops also.
