Unfortunately, we will not be returning. While recording my 8-year-old on the zip line, a teenager told their mother we were recording her instead. The mother immediately came up and started yelling at us. I calmly explained that we were only recording our own child, and even offered to get a manager involved. Things escalated quickly when the mom brought her entire family over, threatening to "fight me" -- and I'm currently 8 months pregnant. I repeatedly told her no one was recording her daughter, and when the managers (Carla -- a tall brunette -- and another female manager) came over, I even handed them my phone to show the video for proof. The managers confirmed the misunderstanding, tried to reason with the mother, and ultimately told us she was very rude and kept interrupting them. I want to note that both managers were very kind and handled a tense situation as best they could. That being said, if this is the type of crowd Main Event attracts, I will be avoiding this location in the future.

This appears to be a labor of love, with a very present owner/custor who offered to answer questions and showed off some recent acquisitions. They have a selection of international sodas downstairs and perhaps upstairs as well at the bar. We enjoyed the all you can play arcade, and trying some exotic sodas from afar. The music harkened from the heyday of the arcade parlor and definitely felt like a journey to another time. And they had my favorite from yesteryear.... Joust!

Bizarre nostalgic throw-back to sugar laced time before corn syrup drenched mixes arrived…read more I met a friend and his granddaughter in the basement to play retro-arcade games for a ser price fo a few hours. Kid and teenager me would have loved it... the sarcastic 10 year old wanted board games to improve her experience. After considering- I agreed. I would add some chess and checker boards and a few other board games. Or a few Atari games... The epitome was the McDonald's $1 double cheeseburger sign. I asked to order it: they didn't have cheeseburgers, all things are more expensive and everything is not as healthy. I am not wishing for cocaine Coca-Cola or other "medicine" in Dr Pepper. $1.50 for a can of soda is a big jump for a corn syrup from the nickel advertising of a sugar sweet memory. The epitome of the place was playing shuffleboard with the 10 year old. I was trying to play with a sense of touch. She was playing with the idea of creating a highlight reel of knocking my pieces off. I beat her because the idea of the game escaped her. To look back at Asteroids was a shock. Realized that it was just black and white, 2 dimensional game with only a few buttons to control it. Overall I walked still a fan of the glossed over experience. I remember being a broke kid wanting to play unrealistic games to escape from reality. Now I wish for the sugar rush I used to have.

Pin‑Up Bowl is a small bowling alley with only eight lanes, a big bar, and plenty of seating, and once our leader confirmed the credit card the whole thing kicked into gear with free drinks flowing right away, draft beers and a few cans and bottles and rail liquors, so I grabbed a beer while others went straight for rum and cokes or vodka and cranberry and the like. The food never stopped coming, trays of toasted ravioli and chicken tenders and pizza arriving again and again, and even with ten minutes left in the unlimited window the kitchen was still sending things out, which made the whole setup feel generous rather than timed or stingy. As for the bowling, it worked well enough for a place that has probably been running nonstop for years. Even though I haven't bowled in twenty years I still managed a respectable 125, which felt like a small personal victory. The machinery had the occasional hiccup, nothing dramatic, just the usual quirks you expect in an older alley, like the lane next to us needing to edit their scores a couple of times or a ball getting stuck in the back or a pin landing in the gutter that someone had to kick down manually, all of it adding to the lived‑in charm rather than taking away from the night. It's a neat spot on Delmar, easygoing and unpretentious, and our whole group had a great time, the kind of outing that works because the place doesn't try too hard and instead just lets people relax, bowl a little, eat a lot, and enjoy themselves.

The bowling is fun, music is good. The people who frequent it, nice. The pizza i got after they made something I hadn't ordered and corrected it, was pretty good, though the bacon was not cooked in the center, (luckily I noticed before i got sick from it)....So I had a decent opinion of the place. Many decades of coming to many places in the Loop have always been fun, with my kids, and my mom..A lot of the business owners are dear friends for years.. contemporaries. we've fought for a great cohesive community and nurtured it. This woman had gone from being nice and assuring me I was good, to a Jeckel & Hyde thing out of nowhere, contradicting what she'd just said. Threatened me, menaced me. There was no catalyst. We were far away. I understand that people get tired, have bad days, but this was bizarre and highly inappropriate.

For my personal experience unless I did it incorrectly it would only let me purchase one lane at a time and I would enter how many bowlers I try to purchase more than one lane at a time and it wouldn't work. They were able to get us close together, not on the same lane, but backing up to each other, which was great They don't take Apple Pay so this would be something I would suggest on improving as a lot of people use this nowadays. It's also hard to carry around your kids and your big wallet if you're anything like me that has 2 under 2 Very clean facility staff was very pleasant. I highly recommend.

The layout was a bit confusing: some of us wanted to play games, so they used the kiosk to do games and food, but other than that, there wasn't a host anywhere until you walked through the building. It was odd. So, we walked to the game area and was told to go to the "restaurant" area host...which was easier said than done. Anyway, we figured out which person was the host and was seated. First off, our waiter was great: attentive, helpful, and funny. He was also very honest, which is refreshing for people like us. My fiance and I ordered the pretzels for an appetizer, and they were so hot and awesome. Like, I could've easily eaten just that for dinner! My fiance ordered the five cheese flatbread, and it was rather bland. It really wasn't very warm, either. I ordered the black bean burger with regular fries, and neither were warm at all. We had waited quite awhile, so it really wasn't going to work sending it back. We just ate it even faster since it was basically room temperature. I can say thw black bean burger had a great flavor, as did the BBQ sauce I ordered on the side. The fries, however, were bland and just didn't feel fully cooked, if that makes sense. Just very boring. We walked around the game room, and if we come back, it'll be for the games. The food was good, but I'm really not a huge fan of cold food when it should be warm. I'm pretty happy the pretzels were on point though!
