Seem fun plenty bowling lanes but the arcade is somewhat small. I love arcades so I think if you're going to have one then make sure it's a nice size. Games and machines take up a lot of floor space. read more

Main Event Memphis - Birthday section - Arcades Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Went for a staff celebration. It was pretty cool. I love how spacious it as and how the set up is. We were in the event space and had it catered. I must say they have some pretty amazing food. We had a variety of options. One table was set up as a full taco bar. They had steak and chicken for the meet options and a plethora of sides including guacamole, sour cream, and pic de gallo. You could also do chips or a soft shell. The second table had fresh baked salmon, chicken, and beef for the meet along with mashed potatoes, salad, mac and cheese and much more for sides. The third table was a dessert and drink station. Before eating, we played an hour long game of bowling. It was fun. The shoes I had were pretty worn, so needless to say I didn't put them on to bowl, so there's that experience. Also, I was unable to use the game card we had. If you don't use it the day of purchase, you lose it, so that was money wasted. read more

Main Event Memphis - Cheese bread and pepperoni pizza - Arcades Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

worst bar experience of my life. should not take 20 minutes to pour 4 shots. bartender also got pissy when he didn't get as big a tip he thought he deserved read more

I have been to Main Event a couple of times before, and it just always fun. Main Event is probably the best bowling place to go to in Memphis. A big space for everyone to hangout at. A lot of bowling lane, fun games to play, and a nice selection of foods to choose from. When I went here on February 3rd, 2024 I decided to get the Lava Burger, and I was not disappointed. The melting queso, cheddar cheese, and onion just work so well together. I highly recommend getting it if you hungry during your time bowling. read more

We came here in the middle of a weekday while school is in (our kids are homeschooled) to play some games for my daughter's 14th birthday today. We tried to go eat some appetizers at the little restaurant (at my daughter's request). We waited and waited go get service and the folks working there behaved as if we didn't exist. The worst part is - this is the second time this very same thing has happened. What are we supposed to do to be acknowledged? Why is it ok for your staff to completely ignore customers? Why couldn't someone have at least walked over to us and told us if we could seat ourselves (the sign says wait for host) or that the kitchen wasn't open or something? We are a family of 6. We are pretty noticeable. Such a disappointment. read more

I love main event. I haven't been in a couple years but probably won't go back after the security guard shooting the other guard due to an altercation. Can't be safe anywhere. Ridiculous. read more

I recommend attending during the day if you can. The service is more attentive and the food tastes better.

Tried to bowl for two 10 minutes after 11pm and they told me they don't allow people to bowl after 11pm even though they close at 12. Rude and unaccommodating. I will never be back at this establishment. Be a person. read more

Great place for the entire family. Food is great. Service is okay. Environment is great. Entertainment is awesome.

Im sitting here @ 6:20 PM EST wondering why I've been watching everybody else's food go out quickly but for some reason we been waiting 45 minutes for a pepperoni pizza. Anybody wanna guess read more

Aye!!!! Main Event is my spot. Me and my wife go bowling on Sunday's and always grab wings and drinks. S/o to the bartenders we've had because they were both dope. Them drinks be strong as hell too. Them wings and fries gone hit every time too. The bowling is bowling so that's fun. All in all if you don't wanna be bothered go on Sundays when they open and get the food and drinks as soon as you buy ya bowling or arcade points. read more

I can't give this place any stars. Employees in the pay booth for bowling were more concerned with chatting with each other than service. We were told that it would be 1 1/2 hours before a lane was ready so we paid for a game card which we got to play for only 15 minutes before we were called to our lane. Obviously we were told that so we would buy a more expensive card. The food was horrible and service in the dining area was lack luster. We had 5 adults and a baby. Appetizers were brought out with a meal missing dipping sauces. Pretzels were overcooked. Sliders were hockey pucks. Our kids meal was brought out only after we ask our waitress about it and after the adults had all ate. Keep your money in your pocket and go somewhere else! read more

We scheduled a corporate team bonding experience at the Main Event in Memphis. 5 of our group had their cars broken into. We prepaid for the Pizza dinner. We did get pizza then after the pizza was gone they brought the salads then about 10 minutes later they brought the dressing for the salads. It completely ruined the evening for the group and the management failed to respond to the issues. Won't be going back ever! read more

We had a great time here! We went during the weekend so we bought unlimited bowling and laser tag passes. Laser tag was really fun and we had no issues playing additional games of bowling after ours ended. The food was good too, drinks were just okay. Very spacious and the arcade area was nice. Great for groups or date night. read more

7.99 bowling does not include the cost of shoes so with three people we paid s little over 40 bucks. Forty minutes in and the game said.see counter to add more time So the unlimited means getting in a long line every 40 odd minutes to continue. Not worth the money. read more

Main Event Memphis - Arcades Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

You have to be 18+ and if your under 18, you have to be with someone 25 and older.... Since when...? I literally came in Main Event as a 12 yr old with my dad wanting to play arcade games and laser tag.. read more

takes just too long to be waited on there.. and too occupied withother things we re older too., so 3 strikes for us read more

This place is such a cool idea and has so many things to do: laser tag, bowling, billiards, arcade, and a rope climb. The service here is always like they're short on staff. You're always waiting for something and they take forever to serve you while you're bowling! They have some decent weekly deals, but they are overpriced all around. Bowling shoes are almost $5 to rent. Food is expensive, but tastes decent. They have $10-20 deals for games but can't even get tickets for anything! Why have daily deals if nobody can get tickets. Arcade has sooo many games, but the basketballs kept getting stuck, wasn't keeping score correctly, skeeball only gave me one ball at a time then said game over, and it was so hard to swipe card cause the things were broken. Fun thing to do if you're willing to lose money and points. Same machines were broken as the last time I came. read more

We had a great time! If love to go back is visit a different location. I seen that there was one out in Baton Rouge I might check it out. read more

No one has yet to reach out to me. Now I see that their message is just a copy and paste. This place is disgusting. Don't waste your time.

Main Event was a bit Pricy. It was about $35ish dollars per adult for unlimited laser tag, bowling, and the elevated obstacle course. The food was average. (Frozen foods served up for a premium price.) Mixed Drinks were really weak and watered down. Overall, we had fun and i'm glad we went but it's probably a one & done experience for me. read more

My 10 year old and I landed from out of town and came here based upon a recommendation from a person at the airport. My son's eyes lit up when we arrived with the expectations of a great time. However, most of the games didn't work, a majority of the staff needed to be trained in customer service, and no directions were provided on how to get passes for services purchased. It ended up a life lesson of learning to turn lemons into lemonade. The pizza we ordered from the restaurant ended up w being the highlight of the visit. Also, the server there, MacKenzie was awesome. read more

The General Manager Joseph reached out after all had taken place and sincerely apologize for the actions of his staff, he offered multiple ways to accommodate our group. Although we had already transferred the party to another location I really appreciate him calling to make amends. It shows that the company really values customer service minus a few bad employees. read more

We're in town for business & decided to stop in on a Monday night. We had a great time! Dre & Adrian took really great care of us! We will be back! read more

Poor customer service took my appointment for an interview but they cancel with no notice or warning, nor apology, they would not even go to the length to tell me themselves, they told me thru a third party (security guard, way more hospitality with that gent). They can take appointments they just have trouble keeping them, good luck with your gatherings read more

Horrible customer service! Stay away It's the worse ever Every employee was playing around and bartender (older gentleman) was extremely rude This is by far the worse experience ever read more

This place has the worst customer service, starting from the manager all the way to the employees. Hopefully there will be secret shoppers from headquarters come to visit, because it needs lots of help! read more

I've worked in customer service for over 10 years (food and beverage industry) and the service here was absolutely horrible. They're either understaffed or undertrained. It took forever for our server to even get to us and the place wasn't busy whatsoever. She got our drink orders wrong twice and then waited around for us to write down the tip on the receipt. It was extremely unprofessional, and while I understand getting orders wrong or being in the weeds, this was pure laziness. She had no sense of urgency. However, the food was pretty good. I definitely will not be back though. read more

Main event needs to close down and fix all of there issues and reopen. None if the games work and half of the bowling lanes are broken. My family has been in here for an 1 hour and a half walking in circles looking for operating machinery. The lines are too long for anything! Main event needs to do better asap, before the summer! read more

Do not go to Main Event. Half of the gaming machines don't work but will take your credits off your card. The bowling lanes mess up and it takes them 20 minutes to fix and that takes 20 minutes off your time. Also while bowling, they will have large groups of kids on each side. The kids are always in the way and they do nothing about it if you complain. read more

Gaming is pretty typical for these types of places, and was as expected. Do not come hungry as the service is non existent. I see staff roaming around, but none seemed interested in our drink or food order. I understand that the pandemic has left some things to be desired, but there were literally 3 people standing by the register behind the bar. Unacceptable from a restaurant type offering. Probably should just put in a few vending machines and only cater to parties. read more

Choose when you visit based on the customer type. We came on Sunday afternoon when a dozen birthday parties were going on. Busy, loud, a bit messy and crowded, but I notice every party has one to two staff members helping serve and coordinate. That isn't cheap and suggests management understand that parents need the help. Admittedly much of the staff look as though they aren't enjoying the work but the staff for our party was attentive. read more

We had a bad experience almost a whole year ago. It was promised that we would get our money back and all we've got is the run around. We keep getting blocked or screened and no one wants to help us get the money back that we were promised. We're a high school, we took our senior trip there. The money we get back will go to one of those seniors for college. read more

Hand down, one of the best place fore arcade games, bowling, laser tag, pool, etc. been here since they open years ago. I love the atmosphere, the staff.. they're pretty nice. The have good bar with decent amount of drinks. The place is really clean, not too noisy. read more

So here we are, I've been here before but this today's experience, oh boy, let me tell ya, it's about to get wild! Ok picture this: every time we dared to play a two-player game, in the arcade, it was like stepping into a world gone bonkers. It was a comedy extravaganza, with controllers playing rebellious rockstars, busting out moves to the right when we desperately needed them to go left. One controller threw a diva fit, clinging onto dear life by a single lonely screw, hanging there completely dead. Skee ball turned into a sad, ball-less circus act, leaving us not rolling a ball but rolling in tears. But wait, there's more! The VR glasses took center stage with a mind-boggling performance--they decided to hijack our experience by showcasing a never-ending error message party. Who needs a virtual reality when you have glitched reality, am I right? Ping pong? More like ping-pong-pong-gone-wrong! The game had selective hearing, ignoring our impressive hits on numerous blocks. And the basketball game? Oh, it was the prankster, displaying a zero timer that made us question the very fabric of time itself and made us clueless as to what our score was or how much time we had left. So many screens were as shattered as our hopes of a smooth gaming session, while a lot of card machines turned into sassy gatekeepers, playing hard to get with our desperate swipes, while providing us only denials. And let's not forget the games that barely provided us with enough balls--talk about a tease! This wasn't just a simple "oopsie," oh no. It was a full-blown comedy of errors, a sidesplitting calamity orchestrated by the maintenance failures of Main Event. I mean, does anyone even care about the gaming experience? It's like they were aiming for the title of "Misadventure Masters." Well played, Main Event. Our experience may have been a disaster, but at least we got a sad story out of it! I'm telling you, it was a comedy show we never asked for, and Main Event took the crown for the master of malfunction. Bravo, folks, bravo! I'm just sad to have spent a small fortune to endure such misfortune. Maybe this will help you decide to go someplace else, I hear Dave and Busters is just down the interstate. read more
