    Came here with my oldest for a bit of competition. Axe throwing challenge and the old man had to show the young buck that although old I still have got it. I beat my sone all games we played. But honestly it really did not matter... we had a blast! It was so much fun!! Great big facilities with lots of lanes. They serve food and drink and they even had NA beer. My sine and i threw axes for a while and then went into their old stand up video games... I mean like classics, centipede, pac man, galaga, defender, and even space invaders! There were 100 games or more in here. You pay a flat fee and then play for a given time any game you want. What a great spot! From the axe throwing to the food (I just had the fries but they were really good), to the games... I mean what a way to spend a few hours... my son and I had a fantastic hours.

    I came here for a company party. The games and drinks were fun. The food was mediocre. The staff was polite albeit understaffed.Overall I enjoyed it, but they need to have more people on hand, the bar line was too long.

    The bar area to the left. Entry to the escape room in the middle. Ask throwing on the right.

    We were pleasantly surprised to find that this gaming café has classic video games. They have a wall of pinball machines, along with some of my favorites, such as Frogger, Ms. Pac Man, Asteroids, Galaga, Defender, Pac-Man, Space Invaders. You can pay a flat rate for 30 minutes or 60 minutes. They also have escape rooms, darts, and ax throwing. They have a bar and food, but we didn't try anything this time. Will definitely be back.

    Absolutely recommend this place family friendly. Gary was a huge help explaining about his organization and how it functions. The food was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend the nachos with the brisket there's adult beverages, and Coke cola beverages do not go with open toe shoes. They will give you a pair of shoes and a clean pair of socks, I learned the hard way....lol!!!! there's always somebody there close by to help you and instruct you how to properly throw an ax. It was a great experience!

    Bullseye!

    Corky's is awesome. Found this place on google and booked and hour of axe throwing with my daughter. We walked in and were greeted right away by a friendly woman that was delivering food. We told her it was our first time so she took her time to explain how everything worked. Checked us in for our reservation and gave us a buzzer. We walked around and checked out all the games but didn't get the game card because it's by the hour and they were already getting our bag ready. I ordered a margarita and a sampler for food. Bartender was so nice and explained the ordering and number situation. Margarita was perfect! We got our bay and host Luis. Luis was the absolute best. He showed us how to throw and explained the fun games. He really made our experience phenomenal. Luis had such great energy working with everyone it was contagious and we ended up being friends and cheering on the people throwing on the bay next to us that he was also working with. It was just a great time. Food was fried bar food but tasty. We would definitely return to try the games and escape room. Corky's was 10/10

    Allen the Great was an excellent instructor/facilitator. Full of patience & personality he made for a wonderful first experience throwing axes. The space is wide open with fun in each corner whether you're indulging in food/libations, exploring the gaming area, smashing axes, watching ESPN or escaping a room there's something every one can enjoy. Outdoor seating option, sanitation stations, hooks for hanging your purse/jacket and plexiglass in place for a COVID safe environment. I can't wait to return as reigning champion! Reservations made easily online. ~CA

    Super fun. Very friendly staff. Quite a few of the retro games were broken, however. Overall, happy with the experience.

    Ask the Community - Corky's Gaming Bistro

    Do you have old school Galaga games?

    We do have Galaga! We have about 42 games, 13 of which are pinball machines, and the rest are retro arcade games.

    Family friendly or more of a date night spot?

    Depends on the age of the kids. 13 and up maybe. Ypunger id just park them in the arcade

    Do we need reservations for a friday?

    For the escape rooms or ax throwing you will probably want to go online and make sure to reserve your time prior to going, but otherwise, it's a walk-in establishment for the food, drinks, and video games.

    It's kind of like Dave and Busters but with old school arcade games, pinball, ax throwing, and escape rooms.

    We had heard a lot about this place, so we decided to take my 12-year-old son here for his birthday…read morewith three of his friends and it was a huge hit. This is the perfect spot for kids (and honestly adults too) to burn off energy. It's a mix of human interactive video-style games and physical activity like throwing balls, jumping, running...spread across different rooms with all kinds of challenges. You definitely can't come here low-energy because you'll be moving the entire time. I booked online and chose the 90-minute option, which was $39 per person. It might seem a little pricey at first, but it actually works out well because of how the timing is structured. You rotate through rooms and sometimes wait briefly for a game to finish, so everything feels organized and not chaotic. The setup is very efficient. You get a wristband that you scan to enter games, track your points, and even create a username. There's a leaderboard screen, which the kids loved, and you can earn points toward small prizes. The whole place felt clean, well-run, and supervised without being overbearing. The floors are cushioned, which helps since you're constantly moving, and it does get a little warm just because you're so active. From what I could tell, the party setup is more of a do-it-yourself style where you have a room for a set time rather than a fully hosted experience. Also, it seems per the website you would have like food delivered. There didn't appear to be a place where you could buy water. However, we did see water fountains near the restrooms. One thing I liked is that your time is based on active gameplay, not just the clock. So while we booked 90 minutes, we were actually there closer to two hours with the flow of the games. Overall, it was a really fun and unique experience, something different from the typical party spots. The kids had an amazing time, and we would definitely come back.

    I am a HUGE Activate fan. This is my 4th or 5th location by now. And I like this one. We went at a…read morereally good time around 10-11am so it was pretty empty meaning we had more open rooms to join. I finally beat my favorite game. The one in the mega room. And I am so happy about that!! Now I need to beat Bop! The games here are so fun and very challenging. And a really good workout depending on what you play. I seriously recommend this place to everyone. I bring friends here all the time and they always end up loving it here too.

    Such a fun place to take your family or friends. We headed to Main Event for my daughter's 15th…read morebirthday as a place for her to hang out with her friends. They were mostly interested in the arcade as well as eating some pizza in the pizza cafe. At Main Event they offer bowling, arcade, billiards, laser tag and VR. They have party rooms as well as two restaurants and bar. I did notice some specials that would be good to share. On Tuesdays they offer kids 12 and under eat free with a menu items of 11.99 or more. Happy hour is offered Monday-Friday 3:00pm -6:00 pm. On Sunday-Thursday they also offer Happy hour 9:00 pm-11:00 pm. On Monday nights they offer all you can play games after 4:00 p.m. for 12.99. Also everyday except Saturday you can play activities for 19.99 plus a 10.00 fun card. The staff was very friendly. My daughter's friend lost her phone and one of the staff was able to find that it was left in the bar. We were very grateful that he took the time to help us check. Such wonderful service and manners. We will be back if we are in the area.

    They must have a lot of new staff because it didn't seem like anybody had a clue what was going on…read more Not much acknowledgement at front desk, understand being busy, but it's easy to look up at someone standing right in front of you and say "hey I'll be with you in one moment" but that didn't happen. Bartender seemed lost. Our server who did good once he arrived, but it was 50 minutes into our 1.5 hour time, after waiting an hour for a lane. Manager also didn't acknowledge us when standing at the shoe area waiting. Asked a staff member if there was a water fountain, said no and walked away, didn't connect us with a server or say "sorry about that, you'll have to go to the bar." Just crickets. Will be going to Lewisville location instead.
