A work event landed us at Bull & Bowl for a team outing and dinner and from start to finish we had…read morean incredible time. From the vibes, to the food, and the fun, Bull & Bowl delivered on every level. Located on West 6th, Bull & Bowl doesn't have a dedicated or private parking lot. There is street parking all around as well as paid parking lots near by as well. We made our way up to the second level and were immediately greeted by the staff. We were taken past the bar and mechanical bull to our tables. Service was great! They were patient and knowledgeable with the menu/offerings, and made sure everyone was well taken care of. Drinks were great, an expansive menu with specialty cocktail offerings as well as a full bar, side note they do not have draft here. So far as dinner, their menu is rather diverse and we ordered quite the spread. Food came out fast, accurate, and hot. I opted for their Buttermilk Caesar Salad and loved it. Although we only went for the Mechanical Bull and had a blast, they do offer arcade games, duckpin bowling, karaoke rooms, and more. I say that to highlight the energy here was high and there were a number of groups/parties enjoying at Bull & Bowl has to offer and it was LOUD in there. Not a complaint, just something to keep in mind depending on the kind of evening you're looking to have. Everyone left the evening full and with a smile on their face, and Bull & Bowl will absolutely be on our list when looking to host future team outings. Thanks for the great time.

Highly suggest getting the cornbread as an appetizer, it didn't disappoint! The margarita was top notch. I don't usually finish my drinks, but this one I did!

Went here for a quick bowling trip but the lady at the service counter was so rude. Nobody was at…read morethe counter except for me and her and since the start she was giving me such a mean face and ignored me when I needed help. The only time I got serviced was when the guy came out to help me. When it was time to check out, same thing happened. She ignored me for five minutes and told me to wait as she's filing her nails! Walked out frustrated. I'm never recommending this place to anyone unless she's improved on her customer service or honestly just not working there anymore. One of the worst customer experiences I've encountered in a while.

During this visit to Pinstack we got food, played games and did some bowling. The bowling was fun but it's bowling so you should know what to expect. The food was half and half. The Mac and Cheese balls were super super good and my wife and I gobbled those up quick. The fries however, not that great. It's supposed to be "cheese fries" but in actuality it was just a bunch of fries with a small amount of shredded cheese and some sour cream on top. The games were fun but it does cost a lot of points per game to do anything. If you're gonna get a small amount of game credits on your play card, like 20 for example, you'll run out of points quick. I would like to come back again for bowling but I won't rush out the door to come back. I'd say if you're coming here for the first time, get a good amount of credits on your game card or just do bowling. Food is up to you since we only tried 2 appetizers I can't comment too much on it.

Went bowling on Saturday night. We arrived at about 7pm. The place was packed but we got shoes and…read morea lame immediately! We got our shoes on and each found a bowling ball we liked. They had huge selection on the wall behind the lanes. The computer was easy to add names too and then we were off bowling. The lanes were nice and we had a blast. We each rolled some strikes and some NOT strikes! But fun was had. The grill inside has great food and the bar has full menu of drinks and beers. We had some beers and fries as snack. Once we bowled for an hour we headed out to dinner. What a great little place to have bowling date night. We will be back

There are 39 lanes available and it has that old school bowling alley look and feel. It is a first come, first serve system, but we were able to get a lane with no wait. The check in process was fast and easy. They give you your shoes, and you pay for the lane and the shoe rental once you are finished. We bowled for an hour and had an amazing time. None of us are good bowlers, but it was really fun. A different and great way to spend a Saturday night. The staff were friendly and helpful, the place was clean, and we will be back.

It's more engaging and satisfying for kids compared to the card-based game places where they can't tell what they have left or how much they've won. They also aren't trying to profit immensely from the prize counter, so kids can actually feel like they've won something after a couple of hours of play. Five stars just for keeping it simple and fun.

I was not prepared for the sensory explosion I experienced when entering Main Event. Lights, camera, action - bright lights permeated throughout the building, sounds of the games being played sharpened your senses and the roar of the crowd within the building felt like you were nearing the end of a race finish line. Let's talk about this place...Main Event Austin is an ideal location for entertainment and fun for every age group! The venue has an assortment of activities to choose from - bowling, arcade games, laser tag, and billiards. Main Event is perfect for families, friends, or group outings. There were a variety of customers present - bowlers, several groups having private parties in the party rooms towards the back of the facility, billiard players and a plethora of arcade customers. Wow! We had a pizza party with a variety of pizza being served. Drinks were on your own, if you chose to have adult beverages. It is always interesting to see work colleagues in a non-work setting. Dan, our server, was attentive and managed to keep multiple individual tabs straight by assigning a number to each customer. Had fun...felt like a kid again...

I recently had my son's 9th birthday at this location and needless to say we had several issues…read more I booked online and once I put the $100 deposit, I got an email and text confirming my 12:30pm party for Saturday afternoon. Then several hours later we were notified that our party needed to be pushed back to 2:30pm because of a buyout, ok sure. Main Event coordinator apologized and offered items to make up for the mistake and booking issue. Then I noticed on the contact a 12% service fee ($46 and some change), I asked the event coordinator and she explained that the 12% goes to the event host/server. This was not the case it was a 12% booking fee that goes to the front office staff. WOW! 12% to book online?!?! Seriously?! The server was the one who explained it to me. When I asked the manager on duty she gave me attitude and basically said "you signed the contract so you have to pay it". The day of the party it didn't seem like everyone was on the same page, our host/server did the best he could and apologized several times but it was out of his hands. The pizza came out late and the wings arrived 40 minutes after the pizza. The pizza was not hot and the wing platter turned out to be wings, tenders and nuggets. We ate the wings and tried to return the tenders and nuggets but no manager came to the table. We took care of the host/server with cash tip but we definitely don't recommend this place for birthday parties or gatherings.

The bartender was very sweet personable place was clean. The bartender made me a delicious Margarita spiced perfect and the chicken wings the lemon and pepper was seasoned perfectly I had to take the rest home because it's a lot of food for very little money. And yes I will be returning very shortly especially for the chicken wings! Granted I wasn't expecting food like this to be this good at a place where kids hang out with their parents playing video games and just have a great old time with family. So this was unexpected I had no clue what this place was about and frankly I was pleasantly surprised and I'm sure you will be too. I highly recommend this location.
