Big Al’s operates as a video arcade serving the Beaverton area in Oregon, just west of Portland. The venue’s street address places it within the broader Portland metropolitan region, and it is one of several gaming destinations catalogued on RetroArcade.com for travelers looking to map out a route through the metro area. With thousands of public reviews already logged on its public profile, it has built a recognizable local presence among casual and dedicated arcade players in the Pacific Northwest, and it remains a practical option for anyone exploring the suburbs west of the city center.
While the directory’s grid reference ties the entry to Portland, the actual street address sits in neighboring Beaverton, a suburb with its own cluster of entertainment venues and casual dining options spread along the main retail corridors. Visitors planning a day of arcade hopping between locations can use the arcade finder directory or the interactive arcade map to plot a multi-stop route that covers both the suburbs and the central city. Nearby catalogued stops include Ground Kontrol Classic Arcade and Bar in central Portland and QuarterWorld Arcade, both of which pair well with a Beaverton stop for anyone building a full day of play across the metro.

The Scene
Because no editorial review summary, owner-supplied highlights, or sentiment caveats are currently attached to this record, the scene here is best described by what is verifiable on the listing itself rather than by aggregated commentary. Big Al’s is filed under the video arcade category, with a published street address in Beaverton and a public phone line for direct inquiries from prospective visitors. Its 4.2-star average across 3,700 reviews is the strongest signal of how patrons have rated the experience over time, and any first-hand impressions beyond that headline number should be cross-checked against the venue’s own website, social channels, or on-site signage before visiting. Readers are encouraged to leave their own feedback on Google once they have stopped by so future visitors can build a fuller picture of what to expect from the floor.
Games & Machines
No specific cabinet, pinball, console, or redemption lineup has been catalogued for this venue in the current record, so the floor inventory cannot be itemized from the available data. As a video arcade, the space is built around coin-operated and card-based electronic play, but the exact mix of titles and formats cannot be confirmed from what is on hand. Players wanting a confirmed game list should consult the venue’s own website or call the listed phone number ahead of the trip so they can plan around the current rotation.
Visiting
Big Al’s is located in Beaverton, Oregon, just outside Portland, and is reachable by phone at +1 503-748-6118 for current hours and any on-the-day questions about the floor. The venue runs a consistent daily schedule, opening at noon every day of the week; Sunday through Thursday it closes at 11 PM, while Friday and Saturday hours extend to midnight. That midday opening makes it an easy fit for both afternoon family visits and later evening sessions, and the weekend extension gives late-night players an extra hour of play.
The listing does not include age policy, food and drink, or private-party booking information, so visitors with specific needs around minors, on-site dining, group reservations, or birthday parties should confirm those details directly with the venue before arrival. Parking arrangements, public-transit access, and accessibility accommodations are likewise not captured in the current record and warrant a quick call or website check ahead of time. For broader trip planning across the region, the arcade finder directory and the interactive arcade map are useful companions for stringing together multiple stops, and venue operators can claim their listing to update the record shown here with their own verified details about hours, games, and amenities.
