    The employee who treated us very poorly citing secret prices unknown to customers

    Just went bowling tonight. Got there at 4:30PM. Had a great time bowling. Until we went to close out the bar tab, the bar tender was a very nice employee but he charged us full price during happy hour. We pointed out the error after they charged our card, he offered us "fun bucks" or the equivalent of a card loaded to only spend money again at the bowling alley...not cash, not credit back to the card, just a bowling gift card. He fixed it after we asked for a proper refund multiple times. Then they charged us separately for our lane...again they charged us wrong. I have 2 young kids, one was crying and after waiting on the bar mistake we were ready to go. I pointed out the pricing was completely wrong. Sara behind the register said, well our GM says they have changed the pricing during "Christmas week". I said this doesn't match the website pricing. I asked her to fix it. She said they are running different prices not listed anywhere. She said I should have asked before swiping my card also. She refused to fix it, she refused to apologize, I asked her how a customer would know you had new secret prices right now and she just shrugged. She refused to give me her GMs name and told me to get out and have a nice night. I have her on video confirming this. My family will never be returning, sadly we would have given this place lots of money for years to come but their service is awful and the customers were treated like trash after employee mistakes and secret pricing by management. They literally stole money from us with a false pricing scheme leaving the customer no way of knowing this change had been made. Beware of this place!

    In the past I've greatly enjoyed my time here. This recent visit really bummed me out. My partner and I joined another couple for a fun filled Saturday night of bowling. With my partner in grad school we were elated to take advantage of a ValuPak deal found by a friend ($10 ea. for shoes and bowling for 2 hours). After a brief wait (the place was slammin') our lane was finally ready. Our first few frames went off without a hitch - and then the pin setter upper machine went down for about a half an hour. Over the remainder of the night our lane continued to act up and the staff had to be approached in each instance of the problem. I was very disappointed that we not only missed about an hour of bowling we'd paid for but the staff were also non apologetic nor did they offer to switch us to vacant nearby lanes. To make the situation even more bothersome my partner got 3 strikes in a row and was initially awarded (we ran up to the desk and were told we could claim our turkey after our game was over), and was then denied by another staffer at the end of the night because of corporate rules (must pay full price for lane/shoes) that were not clearly stated on adverts/posters for bowling alley. As much as I've enjoyed this location in the past I will be bringing my friends and funds to another establishment moving forward.

    Bagging pizzas for next business day. Disgusting.

    Everytime you come here to bowl there is a league or special event and they won't let you in. Lame.

    We weren't looking for a plan. We were just driving past on 144th when the lights caught our eye…read moreand someone said "wait, should we just go in?" So we did. Late night, no reservation, no agenda -- straight to the arcade. Over 100 games, retro and modern mixed together , and the kind of layout that lets you drift from machine to machine without a strategy. The energy was good -- busy enough to feel alive, relaxed enough that we never felt rushed. That said, a few machines weren't working and still managed to swallow our points, which is frustrating when you're already paying to play. And if you're hoping for classics like DDR or Pac-Man, temper expectations -- the selection skews more toward ticket-redemption games than arcade purists might want. Some machines just didn't land for us. But here's the thing: we still had a good time. The vibe carried the night, the spontaneity made it memorable, and there's enough variety that you'll find your groove eventually. The two-story laser tag arena and bowling lanes looked worth coming back for on a proper visit. If you've driven past and wondered -- it's worth pulling over. Just flag down a staff member if a machine takes your points.

What I love the most about Main Event though, is the staff. They are always super nice to the kids and go above and beyond to make their experience a good one. It's very rare to find that these days, and I love coming here because of it. Ava especially is wonderful! When it comes to the food, I would say stick to the hot items. The nachos and chicken strips are always very good and a hit with our group. I have ordered a salad before and found it small portioned and missing some of the items listed in the description. That could have been a supply chain issue, so I wasn't worried too much, but I wouldn't order it again. We have some kids in our group with food allergies, and the staff fully respects their needs and accommodates them. The drinks are great, and they have lots of varieties for everyone to choose from. Because it's a bowling alley and they're in full swing of their summer kids program, I would suggest bringing headphones if you're an adult observer and are sensitive to child centered noise and commotion. It's not too much for me, but I'm a parent with a large family. However, I could see it being an issue for someone with sensory concerns. Just a tip! Overall, I'm never disappointed coming here and highly recommend it no matter the season or occasion.

We stopped in to check it out as we're thinking about starting to do something different and we sat at the bar John the bartender was totally amazing to sit and chill with., we laughed with him we talked with him. He found me a charger for my phone as it was dying out or dead I should say lol but anyways, we have decided that we are gonna go back and try to bowl. John suggested what times would be best for that to happen for people that are just getting back on and that Saturday mornings we had a great time and we will be back. The bathroom was very clean. Everything was really clean accessible parking accessible doors accessible bathrooms, very well maintained. Everybody was super super nice. I believe the kitchen manager brought us over some wings and wished us happy Valentine's Day as we were enjoying our beers found that very, very comforting and welcoming so if you're ever down in that area, stop by and get a lane and throw some balls around lol. Thanks For The Read Until Next Time.....

    The Private Equity Ensh!ittifcation is Real…read more A group of friends and I went to Bowlero for a night of fun. On the way over, I was excited, but I left the venue feeling somewhat ripped off. Bowling has shifted from an affordable, casual pastime to a premium, entertainment-focused experience, with prices rising substantially in recent years. Firstly, the layout of the bowling alley has changed (at least at the Wheat Ridge location). Gone are the benches you might be accustomed to at each lane. Instead, there are tables near-ish the lanes, laid out in a zig-zag fashion. As you can imagine, some tables are closer to the lanes than others, and when we arrived another group was at our assigned table because it was closer to their lane. I don't fault the group at all - they just sat down close to their lane, but this system makes it problematic for people who just want to enjoy their night. The server ended up having to move two tables as a result, because... everyone was at the "wrong" tables near their respective lanes. The bench layout was much better in my opinion. No confusion. It makes little sense why they decided to get rid of those. Secondly, the service was meh. There was definitely a shortage of servers, and it took very long to receive anything that was ordered. I don't fault our sever for this. Rather, I fault management for not staffing properly. Typical corporate/PE playbook. Thirdly, playing two games cost me roughly $60 (for games + shoe rental + tax). If your birth year starts with a 1, then you probably scoffed at this amount. I certainly did. Don't even bother reserving a lane ahead of time, as it's even more expensive. It's also worth noting that the food (typical mediocre bowling alley food) and beverages are not cheap... All in all, bowling used to be inexpensive and fun. Now it's only slightly fun. Lucky Strike Entertainment is buying all the bowling alleys, slapping a new coat of paint on the buildings, and then tripling the prices. The rampant pursuit of profits over everything really makes me dislike bowling. I probably will not visit a Bowlero again in a very, very long time.
