A very busy place every time I've gone in.
Full to the brim of all ages: young to old coming together in front of bowling alleys and arcade games.
Clean, comfortable shoes for bowling and lots of pool tables to gather your friends around.
Service is definitely where Main Event earns its three stars.
Hit or miss.
One time I came into smiles and refilled glasses; the next my party of eight had to ask for our glasses of water five times before we got our drinks.
I say come here for a good time, but not high hopes of service.
They focus on the big picture and not one-on-one.
This. place. Is. Disgusting.
Came here for a company xmas party and it was below mediocre. Our party had +/- 100 people so we had our own section for bowling/food which was nice. The food, which I am assuming was provided by main event, was terrible. The burgers looked burned and dry, the hot dogs looked like gas station quality and all of the ketchup/mustard was out. Even if the food sucks, which it did, at least stay on top of the condiments! I had a hot dog and potato salad and felt like I was at an awkward family picnic... nothing memorable at all. The bowling was just that, bowling. We had fun but then again we were with a fun group so that added to it, but you seriously can't mess up bowling.
Here is where they dropped the ball (no pun intended): the bar.
Going up to order a drink, we order two long islands. The younger guy bartender gave me a blank stare and attempted to make our drinks. While watching him, he is clearly fumbling our order; we see him pour the drinks out and start anew. What is this? Bartending school? A long island is a pretty simple drink that should take no longer than a minute to make, at best. He comes back, takes my credit card and opens a tab. We come back to the bar, when it is more packed, and wait well over 20 minutes for a drink. Yes, 20 minutes. Two bartenders on a busy ass night is ridiculous. We ask the girl bartender for two more long islands and three shots (since we can't stand waiting any longer, may as well get straight to the business). This is where it gets real. While making the drink, a friend notices our ever-so-not-lovely bartender scratch her crotch. People, we are talking not over the pants, but inside the parts swift scratch followed by squeezing a lemon in our long islands. Keep it classy, Conroe. To top it off, while trying to close my tab the chubby crotch scratcher says "no, we don't hold on to cards here. We give them back". Knowing she was wrong, I checked all of my pockets, wallet and even asked the gf if she had it... no card was found. I insisted that the male bartender took my card and she, giving me attitude about it, insisted that he did not (while not even looking). As she goes to find him, low and behold... my card is right next to the register! Would ya look at that!?!? Sure, she apologized and I am sure she felt like an ass but give me a break. The bar and bartenders dropped the ball BIG time. Being young professionals, if they had a good bar and/or drink specials, we would consider coming back but after these events... it's more of a hell no.
All in all, if you're looking for a redneck white trash version of Dave and busters, this is it. why garnish your drink with a lemon when you can garnish it with pubes!? She was clearly a mixologist.
1 star for bowling, the games and the fact that yelp wont let me give any less.
What more could I ask for? Did the bowling thing and had fun. Then we played some pool for like 2-3 hours and drank like rockstars.....all becuase the girl never took down any info which meant we got to play pool for free and drink for free!
Doubt it happens again, but its basically an adult Chuck E Cheese.
I'm not really "into" these kinds of places but when my nieces wanted to go bowling AND play lazer tag; this seemed like the spot. The staff was very friendly (for the most part). It is very clean considering how many people and little kids are funning around. We were here on a Wed. night and it was packed! It does seem rather expensive for what it is; but maybe my perception of the cost os off.
Bowling is bowling, so I have no complaints, other than the wait.
The lazer tag was kind of a drag though. I have only played one other time (in London) and their arena was much better than Main Events. But, I only have those two spots under my belt so again maybe my perception of what is good/bad is off.
If you're looking for a place to play games, bowl, get your lazer tag on, etc I would guess this is the spot.
I've been here twice and both times were about the same- sucky. The staff is very unattentive-- too busy gossiping to each other to even notice actual customers. The food and games is way overpriced for the atmosphere of indifference that you get from the staff (gaming area and food area) - the only person that was decent was the bartender :)
After two bad experiences, the chances of me returning are a zero. And from what I've heard, I'm not the first or last person to have a thumbs down time!
You'd have more fun at home playing Wii or monopoly....
Two thumbs way down!
unatentive staff, keeps the fun experience to a minimum. Â always having to leave the activity i was doing to get a beverage, or something to eat. Â over priced for food portions, and quality? Â please!! Â i could eat better digging stuff out from under my fridge. Â
pool table bumpers are untrue, bowling lanes are warped. Â didn't bother going to the arcade. Â this place is LAME!!! Â better off going to woodlands lanes just down the street. Â they have good lanes, attentive staff, and decent pool tables.
Bowling, pool, big but mediocre arcade, and laser tag are the draws here.
It's Dave and Busters, minus the good food and upscale atmosphere. Â So if you're an adult, you probably won't be impressed. Â But if you're trying to throw a party for a kid 9-15, you may not find a better place in the area.
I thought this place was amazing! For the price, the hours, and overall experience you can't really ask for much more. $22.00 and you get unlimited bowling, unlimited billiards, an arcade card for access to the arcade, and the night we went, unlimited laser tag. PLUS, there is a bar inside and plenty of food. Wish there was a place like this in California!
