Uptown Alley Richmond

I would recommend this place for having a fun time playing the various arcade games they have there, bowling with friends or family, enjoying a cocktail or a beer while your kids play, or even spending the whole day and eating there. They have a simple but adequate menu for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The space is large enough with ample parking availability. Regarding the food and drinks, in my case, I tried the piña colada and a Martini pineapple Upside-Down , which were good. However, I wouldn't highly recommend the Caesar salad; it could be better. On the other hand, the Boom Boom shrimp appetizer is delicious and has a light, spicy kick and I recommend the Chopped Cobb salad because it has protein, in this case chicken and bacon, egg, as well as vegetables. And you can have it with any dressing available. The prices I paid were at full price, without any discounts or promotions. It could be more economical if you go on a day with specials promos during the week. The attention and service were a bit slow due to the waiting times; you need to be patient. I waited over 30 minutes to receive my food order, as well as the appetizer and the drink to go with my meal.

The only reason you should come here is because you didn’t want to drive another five minutes to go somewhere else…. Service is bad, the bowling alley hasn’t been updated since it opened. Our lane had issues three different times and no one really cared. I feel like the owner isn’t putting any money into renovating the place because people still come here but honestly, it’s an awful product. I would also be skeptical of some of the reviews on here because some of them are clearly fake reviews “they must be paying for good reviews from bots”. If you click on the profile, you can see where they have reviewed multiple businesses on the same day and then haven’t reviewed anything afterwards. Update: the owners comments are completely pre-done and there’s absolutely no response after reaching out. They just want you to think they actually care.

We were there celebrating my cousin's birthday. We started off at the restaurant. Red Embers was great! We had a variety of food and everything was great. From the burgers to the Philly steak to the wings. Great atmosphere, great service from Elizabeth to the entire waitstaff. Bowling was so much fun! Perfect location.

Cool yet energetic vibe. Be mindful of when you arrive if you plan on getting a meal. When we went at 6, food was coming out at a decent pace but by 7:30, it was taking 2+hrs to get 2 hamburgers. The manager was understanding and refunded the money, but that not the point. Not sure what the hold up was for the food but overall the place is definitely a good spot to hang out and have a good time.

It seems like a fun place, definitely not your average bowling alley. I went for the Taylor Swift Experience. Was supposed to start at 3. Actually started at 4. Took a break around 510, show was going tobend @ 6, so I left. Saw an amazing sunset.
