    Main Event, Montclair Ca.
    Mary F.

    Compared to other places I've taken my kiddos to, the Main Event, for me, was just "okay". I gave it 3 stars highly based on staff. Every single staff member I encountered from the minute we walked in was beyond helpful and they had such a friendly and great attitude! The arcade area felt stuffy and warm. It's not that big either, I found myself walking to the entrance just to cool down and breathe in fresh air. Their selection of video games was just "okay". Not too many options for little ones to play. Honestly, I felt like I was in a casino, strange. Experience here was meh..One baseball game stopped working mid way, one of the basketball hoop games wouldn't stop playing- it kept giving free bees, we came across another video game that was "out of order" and then I wouldn't let my kiddo play King Kong because of the sanitary health concern I had over the unclean face goggles and how many faces it touched..no thank you. (I saw no one cleaning the face goggles or swapping out after each use) I can't comment on food or bowling area because we didn't try but I will say it was a busy night and both those areas were full. It had a good size bowling alley, I don't feel I missed out. Finding parking is not a problem, Main Event is literally stuck next to Montclair Plaza. Not in a rush to go back.

    Some friends invited me here, and all this time, being a local and all, I hadn't even realized we had this here lol. It was especially cool to see that on Mondays they have a $12.99 special, so it was really fun getting to play all the different games available throughout the arcade! We also ended up doing laser tag, bowling, and pool, so there was definitely plenty to keep us entertained. Plus, the pizza turned out to be good as well. All in all, it was a really fun night and a cool local find! Will definitely be back! :)

    Cans back for another birthday party. The hot honey on the pepperoni pizza was a huge hit. Will be coming back for that for sure. The hostess are very helpful. They offered to help me set up, all though there is not much to do because they handle everything they helped with the little things I brought to set up. They were kind enough to also cut the cake. Just a heads up if you host a party there will be a service fee that is not the tip it is an additional fee for facility use and it doesn't include tip. The host definitely deserve a tip they are awesome. The food comes out right on time, everything ran so smoothly. My guest had a great time.

    Buffalo wings with ranch

    We had such a great time here! As a matter of fact, I've been back twice since mid December. We decided to have our small office party there and did the eat and play combo. I ordered the wings and was impressed with the different sauces that they had. I got the buffalo sauce since that's always my go to and had a side of the Sriracha honey. Both sauces were 10 out of 10! The french fries are perfectly crispy and nice flavored. Service was excellent! I've come back again for the wings. Thanks for the experience! See you next time

    There is a lot to be said for this place. A lot of great family, entertainment and value is all here under one roof. Multiple bowling alleys available, (including a private VIP bowling alley which is where me and my party were in), a mini pool hall, and an arcade for the kids and kids at heart... we got quick service and the food was good. We had pizza and fries, and multiple type of drinks. Everything was great and we all had a good time there. They're open late so if you've never been and want to enjoy a fun night, come here with your group and chill.

The kids absolutely loved the bumper boats, and they had so much fun with laser tag and the go-karts too! We also spent quite a bit of time in the arcade playing a bunch of different games. The entire place was very clean, spacious, and well kept, which made the experience even better. One of my favorite things was that it wasn't packed at all when we went. We barely had to wait in lines, so the kids were able to go from one activity to another without spending the day waiting around. Overall, we all had such a great time and definitely left happy! It's a great spot for families looking for a fun day out. We'll definitely be back!

Boomers was alright, but now that it's back to Bullwinkle's, it's 1000% better! Okay first and foremost, adding axe throwing, I love axe throwing, am I good at it? I'm alright. But it sure does let off a lot of steam! Finally got to go on the new track, oh it's pretty cool to be able to go up a ramp instead of just doing the normal turns. Mini golf is always fun, outside courses need a little love, but that Western that got turned to cosmic, and now back to be an amazing Western theme *chef's kiss* I live for that. I would love to see the rest of the building after it's done with renovations! Okay food, holy cow, that was unexpected. The boneless wings were perfect breading to chicken ratio, the crunch was perfect, and the flavors were great (I wasn't even very hungry so that says a lot about that). Later in the day, we got more boneless wings, because I now have a problem, and we got some pizza. That pepperoni pizza had that perfect crispy bottom, while still being fluffy, the flavors were surprisingly amazing. Honestly, date night, self date, any kind of outing, (we did a bachelor party) just go, trust me it's a lot of fun! Even though I live in the OC, I'm still going to make the drive out there because it's fun!

The seltzers here are delicious and that's crazy for me to say because when I think of seltzers, I think of disgusting Trulys or White Claws. I hate seltzers because it's like a can of carbonated water with one atom of flavor. Vile. Anyway, I am happy to report that that is *not* the case here. I could seriously toss back a bunch of these because they taste (and look) great! I had to order the Mega Man themed seltzer as a Mega Man fan (well, Mega Man X). It was blueberry lemonade and a nice blue color. I also ordered the Spyro one too, but not because I'm a fan of Spyro. I'm just a sucker for anything strawberry. Both were excellent! I also had an IPA which was honestly really good too. Regarding game play it's $10 per person for unlimited play. Although, it sounded like it was for both my friend and I at first until I paid. That's when I realized it's per person. Anyway, still great value considering how much money I would've shoved into House of the Dead 1 and 1943. The space is pretty small though. Wish they had maybe a few more games to choose from, but overall it was a great experience! I work in area exactly like where Level Up is located. It would be so crazy to work next door to a place like this. I would literally be here a few times a week lol

Everyone had a blast, and it truly felt like stepping back in time to relive the best moments of growing up. This membership has been one of the best investments for me and my husband--it's the ultimate getaway from the chaos of everyday life (and the kids). We get to embrace our inner big kids in a more private setting. Unlike places like Dave & Buster's, where everything feels crowded and chaotic, HERE you can enjoy all the fun without kids bumping into you or hogging the games. The option to book the space for private events is such a game-changer! We had such a great time that I'm already planning to book another visit next week. If you're looking for an unforgettable retro gaming experience, surrounded by ART this is the place to be. I Highly recommend!

Fancy high-powered spinning and frequent gutter balls, we were squarely near the lower end of that spectrum. Different game modes on the screen included cartoons/animations of bowling pins, sea creatures, and comic book characters, which added some charm to an otherwise similar experience.
