I have been wanting to check this place out for a few months but just haven't found the time. Finally did last night and was happily surprised. Since it was a Friday night they had a live band and food truck out back. Ample parking next to the DART rail line and 20 or so picnic tables outside to keep you Covid safe! The beer selection is fantastic. I tried a flight of 4 different styles and they were all spot on. I was amazed at the quality and flavor in each. The owner is very passionate about the beer and takes the time to educate you one each pour. If you love beer or just a good time give this place a shot.

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.

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.
