Came here for a birthday party and I must say this venue is the most vibrant, active, adult friendly place I've been too. Spacious enough to entertain guests of all ages. Kai was our birthday host and he was very friendly, knowledgeable and patient taking on a party of 12 active boys. He kept them smiling, entertained and under control. Kudos to him for that alone:) Inez was our server and she was very friendly, and helpful with the ordering of our food. I will always come here for my kids and grandkids entertainment fun. read more

This place is fun! Whether it's arcade games, billards, bowling, laser tag, climbing ropes.. all of it, you got it. Visited here for three 1st time as part of our office Christmas party and it was a great time. We had the building the rented out, so it was rather easy to enjoy all the amenities of the place. With 2 buffet bars set up and plenty of staff on hand, the time was enjoyable. This place is great for families or Adults who are Kids at heart. read more

We came for a birthday party and the package itself was a great deal -- bowling, laser tag, the ropes course, and pizza were all included, which kept the kids entertained and happy. 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. read more

We attended a mom/son night through school. It was great! Pizza was hot and fresh and they were so nice to give my son 2 replacement slices after he accidentally dropped his.

For starters, I did lots of review-searching before coming to this place despite the lower scores. We went on a Saturday afternoon the week of Christmas and it was poppin'. The website was confusing to me so I hope this helps: Fun card packages; Menu board in picture is for a daily pass per person otherwise you pay per section for the day per person. Behind the bowling shoes is where the fun card kiosks are. I would recommend not using cash as we had issues with not just one kiosk, but two, even with management and the help of Alex from shoes next to us. It took our cash and didn't count it correctly, thank goodness we had staff to watch it malfunction. We didn't realize until we got the hang of things that with laser tag, bowling, and gravity ropes you had to set up a time reservation. Laser tag was the best part. This section chose your teammates for laser tag and it was two stories. No running but it was definitely upbeat and fast moving with spots to hide behind. Gravity Ropes were a different experience! They put you in a harness on a fed rope to the above bars to walk on obstacles above the rest of the facility. It was scary! To finish the obstacle you shortly zip line to the end. Bowling was unlimited therefore once you get a table then you don't have to leave that spot until you're done. Shoes did cost extra per person ($5). Fun card was a swipe card to play VR, racing games, arcade games, and air hockey. Fountain sodas had unlimited refills and not overpriced with self serve soda machines. Full menu for food, though we didn't eat there. Lastly, Alex was helpful from start to finish after our kiosk incident and made a point to go above and beyond to make us feel welcome and welcomed back in the future. read more

Worst service in the valley. Can't even close a tab out within 30 min. Place is awful.

What a great place for family time, date night or a night out with friends! This place is kid and adult friendly. They have a restaurant/bar area with a good food menu, bowling, arcade and even a ropes course in the rafters! It's a great spot to go and have some fun. read more

I met some friends here today. It was a rainy day, perfect for bowling. The bowling part is the only reason I'm giving them 2 stars instead of one. That part was the usual. My review is based on the food, pricing, and service. It was a Monday afternoon, so we were some of the only few people in the place. At the front, she told us to go up to the bar and order food and they would bring it to us at our lane. So after a few bowling games, we went up to the bar to order food. This took away so much time from our game because there was only one bartender there and she was slow at making drinks and ringing people up. Two of us ordered loaded fries and a water. On the menu loaded fries were $9.99. When I paid my tab, it was $15.01. At first, I didn't really think much about it and we went back to a table. Our food took about 40 minutes to come out. Fries with queso, bacon, and chives and they're ice cold like they've been on a counter for 30mins. We ate it anyway because I don't want my food spit in. I stopped up at the bar to ask about my bill, and she told me it's $4.04 for a cup to drink water out of. This is mind blowing for a restaurant. We paid for an all day pass. We paid for food. There's a huge sign on the door that says no outside drinks, which is why I left my water bottle in the car. I don't drink soda and I didn't want to drink alcohol, so there really isn't much other option. If she had told me I was going to pay $4 for tapwater I would have told her never mind. read more

It was awesome! I'm a little older and it was fun!! Staff super helpful and able to answer any questions my group had. Not too expensive either. Timing is everything if you care the amount of people but it's too be expected. I enjoyed it read more

The managers suck especially rian an Kayla the only manager that's cool is colton. The fact that they run their employees ragged for so little pay. Additionally to those doing the gravity ropes unless the Australian manager Reece is there you're. Not gonna have a good time it's very arbitrary on time amounts staying up read more

I went here with my wife, daughter and grandkids to bowl. Bowling was fun, the lanes are sophisticated and have the capability of automatically putting out bumpers based on the bowler, so the kids have fun. The cost of bowling was $25/hour which I thought was a fair price. The reason for the 5 rating however, is the food. I could not believe how good their cheeseburger was. It reminded me of the best Cheeseburgers of year gone by, specifically served at "Jimmy's" a diner across the street from the old American Theatre in downtown St. Louis. The burgers at Main Event are so good, I'd consider just going there for dinner. read more

Buy your tickets or pay your meal ticket this place is okay. No regerts here. The kids has fun and I put a buzz on.

Took my grandson there for 1.5 hours of great fun. He's 4 and had a great time going from game to game. We were there when the doors opened on a Sunday morning, and initially, it wasn't very busy. By the time we left, it had gotten busy, but we were always able to find an open video game. I was happy to have purchased the time-based card, as some games finished in less than 2 minutes. read more

I went here with cousins for a get-together and I had fun! We went bowling and i've been in the arcade before, but bowling best by far in my opinion. The place was a bit shaky on cleanliness, especially in the food areas, but other than that nothing big or special. I didn't speak to many employees, so I can assure you I am not the one to judge on service. Bowling and arcade's fun, just anything out of that i'd avoid, like food. read more

Had a great time bowling for an hour and the food was good and came out quickly directly to our lane. But overall definitely needed cleaning as there was trash everywhere. It's a bit overwhelming if your group doesn't have any kids - the atmosphere is loud and bustling with children running around and having fun. So keep that in mind depending on your group! Food wise the cheesy breadsticks were the best, followed by the chocolate skillet, chicken nachos and dry spiced Cajun wings with fries. The honey bbq boneless wings were good but I'd probably get another sauce next time (maybe Nashville or honey sriracha). read more

Main Event Chesterfield - Warm Skillet Cookie was great - Arcades Near Me - Chesterfield, Missouri

Came out to visit Main Event with my kiddos and friends. There was a crowd out the door, literally. However, once we got in the building there was a nice lady answering questions. I hear her say "you can go straight to the restaurant and someone will seat you. You can order food there as well as purchase playing cards at one of our kiosks." Umm, what?!? Why is there a line?!? So of course we go straight to the restaurant to be seated and literally purchased playing cards. That simple! Moving on to the food. There was one employee by the name of Cara who was working behind the bar. Keep in mind this place just opened at 11:00. She comes to our table and gets our drink orders and tells us to come up to the bar to order food when we were ready. Fair enough. So we did so. It took a bit to get food but it wasn't too long. Food was good. As I'm sitting there I see Cara getting slammed with customers. One after another. When I say she was the only one behind the bar taking orders and making drinks and brining drinks to the tables I was blown away by her patience. I mean seriously. All I could think of was I hope her boss knows how hard she works under pressure. She also did it with a freaking smile . Now that is not something you see everyday. I hope she is getting paid nicely. Eventually, a couple more employees were on scene after awhile. Overall, Main Event was a great time. Tons of games, laser tag that is two levels, VR games, bowling, and so much more. My kids had a blast! The place was clean , areas labeled as far as what section of games you were in. The bathrooms were clean, and up to par. I will definitely be back. read more

During my first visit, I was not expecting much. I thought it would be really similar to Dave N Busters, but it was a lot of fun! There's unlimited bowling, laser tag, gravity ropes, and billiards for one price. The bowling shoes are an additional $4.50 charge per person. They also have small specials on tokens. I think the best option is the $100 option. If you are just looking to play a few games and grab a bite, they have specials to purchase a game card and an entree! I would recommend this because then you don't have to pay the fee to get a new card. It's a much better deal and just enough for you to spend an hour or so there. After my first visit, I went back 2 more times. Each time, I think I spent about 5 hours there. Honestly, it's great for something to do on a random weekday or even the weekend. I love bowling and the competitive side of it, so I think that's where we spent more of our time. There's a lot of cool features on the bowling lanes, like bumpers for specific players and customizable pictures / colors / graphics on the scoreboard. The laser tag area is super fun, the games only last about 5 minutes, so I would just get the unlimited wristband to be able to go more than one. For the laser tag, you have to sign up for a slot to play. You may get paired up with a different group or if your group is large enough, you could just be playing with your own group. The vests are really neat and once you get into the arena, I would recommend getting far up top to get the most points. I haven't tried the gravity ropes because it closes around 10pm each night, and the bowling and laser tag was honestly the highlight of all of my trips. The games there are nice and nothing was broken yet (bashing some other arcade places). My favorite games are the basketball games, the duck claw (play until you win a duck), and the Wizard of Oz coin machine. The bubble blaster game is fun, please stop getting the high score xD As for the FOOD (cause this is a Yelp Review), honestly pretty decent. The wings were seasoned well and I devour fries, so they were all gone. The burgers were great. The only thing is that it can take a long time to order at the bar if you do go on a very busy night. The first time that I was there, there were two bartenders taking drink and food orders. It was a little hectic and a bit of a wait, but they were fantastic. I would much rather prefer ordering at the bowling tables (if they have the staff to do it). The area itself, definitely doesn't do well with phone reception. I have T-mobile and it wasn't doing so great. Try to hop on the wifi if you can. The playing cards, never had an issue. And at the prize center, never had an issue there. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. Some of the staff members can be a little spoiled, one took our duck away from my cousin. That girl didn't put the best taste in our mouth after that. Overall, I would definitely go if you can be mindful of yourself and others around you! read more

Bowling was quite expensive, and the service was slow. I ordered the chicken nachos, which were just mediocre.

Been a week, reached out like the response told me too and I still haven't heard anything. 3 phone calls, 2 email submissions - nothing. Don't use a credit card there. Paid twice for one meal. So disappointed. Such a scam read more

For a bowling alley, this place was pretty fun! They had the most fun drinks, the cotton candy Shirley is pictured! We also got some appetizers and a bucket of beer. For bowling, it was a little pricier than other places, but it was really clean. The waiter was a little slow to bring the food and drinks, but that's okay! read more

Amazing service! The employees were genuinely pleasant and really augmented the experience! That laser tag, I'm a grown ass woman and I was running around shooting ten year old boys like it was my destiny. Unbelievable fun. Only negatives are the prices, 7 bucks for a beer, games are expensive, laser tag only lasted like ten minutes (total guess bc I was, as aforementioned, committed). read more

Overpriced and the service is terrible. The bartender Adrian(a) is one of the most miserable and disrespectful people I've come across. Servers and waiters are not attentive and are on their phones the entire time. I would clean house. Go to Dave & Buster's...or anywhere but here. read more

We had a GREAT time at Main Event! We went on a weekday afternoon, so it was not busy at all. We enjoyed kind of having the place to ourselves as we travelled around the facility playing arcade games, laser tag, bowled, shot some pool, and played shuffle board. We were bummed that there was no one available to run the VR game for us, although there were many staff members around. We were also bummed about the inauthenticity of the bowling- the pins are all attached to strings! BUT we enjoyed the variations of games available to play while bowling, so that made up for it! We ended up getting a wrist band because it was the best bang for our buck and allowed us to ply everything except arcade games! I would definitely recommend Main Event to anyone looking for a fun time! read more

I want to give a big shout out to Chico & Brittany - the went above and beyond for my last minute bday party for my 30 year old autistic nephew - special dude ! Chico set ups up and even gave my nephew a special surprise. Our party of almost 20, enjoyed the appetizers that Brittany recommended : Nachos, dips & chips, boneless chicken wings, everything was good and great service. I felt the bathrooms & dining areas to be clean; lots of space and a fun menu selection. The only negative I found was not enough servers & when asking for utensils they gave us plastic - you know the pre wraps a napkin - at first I thought ok but all the other customers had silverware ? Still scratching my head on that one. Thank Chico & Brittany! read more

The saving grace of this place is the food is delicious. The machines are all janky. Several machines weren't functioning or would buffer before rejecting your swipe. Some of the machines would also function then stop working partway through a game. The bathrooms were disgusting and when trying to alert a member of staff at the front desk I was looked at several times before someone decided to come over and acknowledge me. Our server continuously hounded my table until we had gotten our food and then proceeded to borderline ignore us after. When my party asked him to split the check he rolled his eyes at us. The building is a dead zone and the free wifi didn't work at all. The novelty of having so much available means nothing when almost everything was so overwhelmingly disappointing. Update: despite being asked to reach out I have not gotten a response so I am changing my review to one stars read more

Arrived for bowling and looking to eat. Group of men were done bowling however were standing around didn't bother me. What bothered me was the fact that the server was so consumed with serving them that he never greeted us. The third time he passed by, I had to flagged him down and asked if he was my server. His attitude was uncalled for. Not welcoming what so ever. I ordered food and drinks. Food came out before the water and someone else served it. The server never came back until 10 mins later to the group of guys near by and yet again, I had to ask him 3 times until I received water drink and the wine that I ordered was never placed, but he didn't forget to asked for my ID. With the little service he provided, he did not forget to asked for a tip. Unbelievable! read more

Everything I would not recommend !!!! Managers are so rude they might need some manager training. Be careful

Listen my wife and I went with my cousin & her kids. This place is cool! bowling, arcade games out the wazoo, laser tag I enjoyed myself. It's a little pricy in my opinion but that's okay. The food we had there was not next level good but it help up. I've had worse. read more

I can totally see why there are really bad reviews. The place was understaffed, it was packed, lines were long, etc. I actually waited at the bar just to pay for a drink I had ordered earlier for 10 minutes before my fiancé walked out and found someone else to cover it, that was frustrating. However, I recognize we're in a worker shortage right now, and I'm just thankful places like this can be open right now so we can get out and have some fun. The bowling was AWESOME. Seemed a little pricey, but really high quality. This isn't your bowling alley that your grandparents used to bowl at. All high tec, tons of fun games so it's not general bowling. Fun for all ages. I got one of their specialty drinks, and they're super fun! So good! Their food options looked great too. We just came for bowling because we had some other plans, but I would definitely come back. There's a TON of stuff to do, a restaurant area, games for all ages. A great family outing read more
