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.

We have signed up for Kids Bowl Free for the past two summers, and it's always a great experience…read more The value is unbeatable, and the kids always have such a great time. 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.

I came after I picked my son up from his after care program and there was no employee in sight for about 15 minutes. We ended up just grabbing clubs and doing putt putt. At the end there was a teenager who came out when we had gone through probably 8-9 holes and he said "Excuse me, who checked you out?" And I said "No one. No one was here and we weren't gonna wait all night." He was like "I am the manager on shift and that's not true." Clearly trying to not be in trouble. It was absolutely inappropriate the way he treated everyone in there. I don't know what they were doing that whole time but the lack of responsibility they took for not being present where they needed to be was ridiculous. I will call back later and speak to the general manager and pay for the round we did but in my opinion, the kid working should be fired. The cash register was left unmanned, plus all the merchandise, the main door open, the self service card reader wasn't working, there was zero attention to customers. I work with high school students and 98% of them would be more responsible than this. It was completely unprofessional!

Bar is nicely spaced away from lanes as to create its own experience and vibe. Bartender was friendly and carried great conversation about family and his job was held easily between us. Interior was filled with a wide variety of music at decent level as to hold such conversations at a normal friendly level. Tables and seating were clean and aroma of food offerings occasionally filed the air. Bar area lighting kept bar area exclusive and held its own experience. Lanes were well lit and open for any size group giving enough space for a fun and unobstructed night of sportsmanship. The mall maybe gone but this mainstay has survived for a good reason and will prove why when visiting.

Lotta new features very exciting atmosphere when you walk in hear the balls and pins and the people in the children food cooking in the kitchen. 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.

The place is definitely older but the vibe and music is great. I want to come back here on a Friday or Saturday night when they have live band playing. Price of bowling was good. We played approximately 1 hour and 15 mins for 4 games with 2 people. The staff was nice. My nephew and I had a lot of fun. I broke a hundred points first time ever in bowling! Woohoo! And my nephew owes me a hamburger next time we hang out, because loser's gotta buy! Lol Definitely a cute place. I didn't try any food here as we had lunch elsewhere before coming here. Most definitely coming back here to bowl and groove to the 80s.

Mel is amazing, professional, understanding, and a great leader for her staff. Annabeth did an amazing job managing the phones during what I can imagine to be a busy Saturday night.

They had the board set up for our party but it would have been nice if they spelled it properly (take the effort to spell check!) What we had with our party group: *PIZZA: This was good *CHICKEN STRIPS: Tasty *FRIES *FRUIT PLATTER: This was really gross. I am not sure if they were frozen and then defrosted but it was mushy and not flavorful. *PARTY COOKIE CAKE: This was a welcome sweetness. *ENDLESS DRINKS We had a fun time despite the misspelling and the gross fruit. I would definitely stick to the pizza or the fried foods (chicken strips and fries) as those tasted good. The cookie was also very tasty. After we played in the arcade a bit. I bought some arcade credits off Groupon which were almost half the price for the same amount they were selling there so worth checking out Groupon if you're hitting up the arcade.
