I thought I completed the holiday circuit, however, one more to go. Well...I certainly hope so…read more This holiday party was held at Main Event Austin, which I had never frequented. 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.

There's axe throwing , bumper cars, a go-kart course surrounded by dinosaurs, plenty of pinball machines, laser tag, VR arenas featuring 3D simulator attractions, and a 3D XD Dark Ride Adventure Theater that seats eight people. The pinball machines are typically $1 or more per game, while the classic arcade games are just 50 cents each! I was especially in awe of the incredible pinball machines, including The X-Files, John Wick, Aerosmith, South Park, and more. A big thank-you to Allie for being so sweet and taking a video of us on the bumper cars! There is so much to do at Pinballz and so little time. I definitely need to come back for another visit!

Dart'em Up is classified on Yelp as a 'Kid Activity.' Well, aren't we all kids at heart? I had to…read moreconvince my friend to come along but even he admitted it was a good time. We showed up on a Saturday night and I was expecting it to be a lot busier. I assumed it would be crawling with rugrats and ankle biters but my friend and I were it. They had a Saturday night special where it was unlimited play with any type of blaster. There was about 1.5-2 hours left before they closed up and figured we could play a lot of games. Since it was the two of us it was mano y mano while we had a gamesmaster/ref/time keeper there. The space is littered with Darts and with the variety of blasters available you need to be cognizant of what 'caliber' you're using. A family ended of four ended up coming in so despite being outnumbered 2-1 we beat them due to superior tactics, coordinated teamwork and the fact that two of the them hadn't hit puberty yet. Hey, a win's a win!

You can grab some food from one of the food trucks, drinks from the outdoor bar and have a great time hanging out. Some of the outdoor seats also have heaters or a firepit.

Inflatable Wonderland is located on the lower level of the SW corner of Lakeline Mall. It's filled…read morewith a variety of themed inflated spaces suitable for toddlers to about age 8. For the younger set, there's the usual ball pit. Older kids may enjoy some of the maze-like structures. It's a good place to hold a party for younger children; they have spaces set aside in the back of the facility for this and will provide an emcee and food. For those looking to have their kids burn off some energy, there are tables for the adults and a concession to order from. The day we were there was soon after an incident at the mall, so it was pretty quiet and not terribly crowded. Lakeline Mall used to be a vibrant place filled with retail stores, but appears to be deteriorating after losing anchor tenants. Inflatable Wonderland is a bright spot near one end.

I really would rate this 3.5 stars…read more It's a pretty cool place. Entertainment was great (band=Suede), food was good, drinks were good. Service was fair, at best. We were a table of 12, but that wasn't really the problem. One person who ordered, her food was given to someone else. When she inquired, she ordered again and it took over an hour to get her food. Her second beer never arrived. Unfortunately, she said this is the norm here. She comes here often, mainly for the entertainment. The server was quick to take our original orders, but follow up was zero. No attempts to get second drinks, any other food, nothing. It wasn't that busy, so I'm not sure why the service was so bad. I flagged him down for my second drink after waiting over an hour, and my friend was still waiting for her beer. It was like our table was in the ignore zone. I would come back again, but would probably order from the bar for drinks. 20% tip was included in the bill because of large party. I'm sure my friend was pissed about that considering her service was terrible. Mine was meh. Overall it was a great evening with friends. The good outweighed the bad, but don't expect great service. Enjoy the entertainment value here - Thats what makes this place special.

Reasonable prices for bowling, and well maintained lanes. Very friendly and attentive service. Beautiful space. I enjoy their extensive menu of drinks and food. They make a mean espresso martini!

The new seating is a huge improvement too. The recliners are comfortable, and the tables work well for food and drinks. The online ordering system is also nice because it makes it easy to order exactly what you want, though I do wish there were a few more customization options. Small things like extra ice in a drink, light queso on the fries, or swapping sauces on sandwiches and wraps would go a long way. The fries themselves were great, but the queso made them soggy pretty quickly. I understand keeping the menu streamlined for the kitchen, but at these prices, a little more flexibility would be appreciated. The food overall was good. I was disappointed to learn the cauliflower dish has heat built into the dredge because I had really liked it before, but the wrap I tried this visit was very good. I also miss the rotating special dishes they used to offer since those were always fun to try. The movie experience itself was excellent. Picture and sound quality were great, seating was comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was enjoyable. One thing worth mentioning is that we often debate between coming here or going to Cinemark. Cinemark's membership program is honestly hard to beat because it includes tickets and concession discounts, and we've been members for years. We do not live close enough to really benefit from this theater's subscription program, otherwise we would probably join because we genuinely enjoy the experience here. Overall, we had a great night and will definitely be back.

I want to start by saying that as far as Austin-based movie theaters go, ALAMO IS THE BEST. (I'd…read morestill like you to read my 3-star review below though. I am concerned about everything I mention). I've checked out all of their competitors, and none of them have the variety of films that Alamo offers and their movie pass benefits are poor comparisons to what Alamo offers you. Nowhere else can you find Terror Tuesday or Weird Wednesday, or thematic movie series. These things are uniquely Alamo. These things, while I'm sure they must be nationwide, are very much Austin. Also, management with the Austin chain is very responsive when customers reach out with questions/concerns/complaints. This is unique customer service nowadays.
