    Main Event just opened up today, they were packed but they were very well staffed! We had a great experience and it's a huge place! Lot's of room and everything is very well spaced out. The arcade area had a lot of games and price wise it's pretty on par with the rest of the arcade places, you pay for a game card and get credits loaded onto the card and each arcade machine has a place for you to swipe the card. With the points you get on the games you can get different prizes. There's a lot more to do though! There's bowling, laser tag, gel blaster (paintball but with gel pellets), billiards, a bar and a restaurant as well, and a pizza section as well. there is truly something for everyone here!

    Very cool place to play. Great variety of games and things to do. We did the Fun Card + food option. So we played first and then got some lunch. My son got the boneless wings and fries and I got the chopped Caesar salad. My son's meal was good, ample amount, mine on the other hand was the smallest entree salad I've ever had. As you can see even the lettuce was kinda wilted too. Other than that we had a good time just won't be ordering the salad again.

    I contacted Main Event to plan a birthday party for my son. I spoke with Jamauree and he helped me choose from the many packages they had. I went with Teen All Access party package. I was able to send out e-vites and make changes before the party. When we arrived, we were escorted to our bowling lanes by our host. He took care of until we left the lanes to do video games and laser tag. My son and his friends had a blast! The food was really good. There was plenty of time for them to do everything and we had enough space in our area for the six boys that attended. Very affordable party options and we will be back.

    New location beside of top golf that specializes in games of all sorts. Plenty of pool tables, shuffle boards, and bar/food area. The staff was all around and was ready to help.

    It was very stressful purchasing tickets from the machines in front. I felt like I needed more of a explanation of the difference in the deals available. They seem to be short staff for Saturday evening. We end up purchasing the $19.99 deal which came with a $10 meal voucher card. It didn't allow us to play many games. Lesson learned. lol All & all it was fun though.

    Everett the GM did a wonderful job at facilitating our needs. They are still working out the kinks but it's fun as heck. Terrence the other Manager helped me today with an offer on the app that wouldn't work. I was a little abrasive bc he was the 3rd person I had to speak to but he made it all good. Thank you T for taking care of my family. Overall it's cool full stop. Everyone is nice and friendly. Games fun. Beer cold.

    Wow, main event is truly an awesome and amazing experience. We snuck out of the house and ended up here the other day and oh my goodness what a pleasant surprise a new feeling in the area will definitely have to bring Eli back. I had a margarita flight and some wings they had a pizza and another drink. The food was OK. The drinks were delicious. The service was great. It was very much crowded so we did experience some wait time, but the ambience was definitely unmatched. We definitely do have a few of these entertainment centers in the triad, but this was definitely like a breath of fresh air.

    A good arcade in terms of game selection and amount of games - even when crowded there is a lot of…read moreroom. The experience drops off from there though. The prize redemption prices are astronomical which is a massive disappointment to any kids you've brought who may think that they can get a $0.50 prize after their parents spent $75 in game time for them - and they find that they only have 1/4 of the points needed for the cheapest things. Gaming prices also feel considerably higher than other options in town but with that said, they have the biggest selection of newer games in town so that's a trade off that I can understand. The food appears fine but I haven't had a chance to eat here yet so I can't rate it. The bar service is annoying - despite having a full bar you have to order at a counter - when the bar is open. I understand they probably have issues at this location and I'm sympathetic but I would love to see more of a proper food and bar experience be available during common hours. This place isn't Dave and Busters by any stretch and the way food and drink is handled is where that comparison really hurts Round1. I would come here far more often if they had a better experience in this part of their offering, despite the gaming prices being higher than other options. The staff do seem generally friendly every time we visit though, so that's a big plus.

    Just stopped in for a quick drink while at the mall. Wanted to take a peek and see what they had to…read moreoffer. The bar is full service but food is counter service only, but the selection looks unique. The line was long and our time was short, so we didn't order food this time. However, based on my experience with our bartenders (shoutout to KJ), we'll be back!

Coming from Charlotte, you do not always get the best service at bowling alleys, so I was really impressed. We had a pretty big group of boys from 6th-9th grade along with parents and coaches, and the staff was so positive, patient, and helpful with everything we needed. They made the whole experience easy and enjoyable for our group.

    I around 9:25pm on Wednesday evening with a friend. It was cold inside lol. The cashier was Keith,…read morewho was also a manager. There was a special for $11.50 unlimited bowling until they closed at midnight. Shoe rental included. We were put on lane one. The instructions on the screen doesn't match the buttons on the machine. It's outdated, honestly. We figured it out and got it set up and started bowling. We were hungry and decided to get food. We went to get food at 9:50pm ish. Jane was snack bar staff. She stated that she's was supposed to leave at 10pm. She added that the oven was off, so that took away pizza, cheesy dippers, and pretzels. 8 wings come with the classic wings and 5 tenders are in the regular chicken tenders order. I ended up getting Alley sampler which comes with 5 moz stick, 5 wings, 3 tenders, 9oz fries and 5 cheesy dippers. I also got beverage called Berried Alive Lemonade (alcoholic). The total for it all was $38. My food came around 10:15pm. It was hot and fresh. At 10:23pm, I heard final order announcement for food/drinks. At 10:34pm, my friends food arrived. He said it was hot. He was supposed to have garlic parm fries with his chicken tenders and they were regular. They tried to give it on the side but friend said it wasn't good. I checked on my drink at 10:36ish and was told that someone else was making it. My friend and I went back around 10:44pm to check on drinks. My friend got a blue Long Island and it was sitting there since the last time we check about 10 minutes ago but no one said anything. There was another drink sitting which was supposed to be mine but apparently someone else took my drink. What was there was a mai tai. The staff began making my drink around 10:46pm and she brought it to me about 2 minutes later. It was tasty. Overall, bowling itself was fine. We had no issues with the lane. The biggest downfall was the wait for food and drinks. There was only one staff in the kitchen. Another lady, who i assumed was a manager didn't help until later on. This bowling alley is definitely not the best in Greensboro. I would say possibly better than Triad Lanes but Spare Time is definitely the best. There is Bourbon Bowl downtown but it's expensive and I haven't been yet. This would be a good spot if you want a chill and not so busy atmosphere. They can get busy though. Personally, this wouldn't be my first choice. I had planned to drink and bowl and it took almost an entire hour just to get my drink. Then there was no time to get another one.

It hasn't changed much in over 15 years. Not that it bothers me personally, but you can tell it's not nearly as flashy as a new bowling alley. -1 star because this place is not in the countryside. Only kidding. :) However, the lady who works on Friday night was not very nice. She was a drink police. With just me and my husband renting a lane, we felt like we were micromanaged. We were asked to take our water bottle to the car. She wouldn't even let us empty it out and fill it with their water. Thankfully, the grill gave us a free water. However, within our lane beside the chairs, there is a spot for three drinks to be held - where our drinks were sitting. The worker came and told me that my drink, if not in my hand, had to be sitting on the back wall. I'm sorry but I do not like to have my back turned to my drink. I don't feel comfortable with the idea of someone touching my drink, taking it, or possibly putting something bad in it. I followed her rules and took it to the back wall when I was up to bowl. However, one time I had a child leaning up next to my drink and putting their shoes on the table beside my drink. I was just not a fan of this rule. But they own the place so they get to make the rules - just be aware of this. I told a friend about this incidence and she said she has never had a problem with being told to move her drinks out of the cup holder. Who knows?

    I wasn't thrilled with my bowling experience at High Point Bowling Center. The value for money and…read moreambiance were both lackluster. I was disappointed when I joined their mailing club to get a coupon and then the coupon said it could only be used if printed. The whole point of mobile/emailed coupons is convenience. I didn't have time to find a printer, so I ended up paying full price. It was $4 per person for each game and $4 for shoe rental. This seemed like a lot for a weekday afternoon, so we only decided to play one game. I was pleased to discover that they sold a socks, which I desperately needed. The bowling balls seemed older and heavily used. We were assigned to a lane right next to a large party, when there were numerous other lanes opened. In spite of all this, we made the best of it and had fun. When we were done with our game, we were ready to get out of there. The attendant was MIA, so we left our shoes and peaced out. Overall, it wasn't my favorite bowling experience.

    Located on the south side of High Point, High Point Bowling Center has been around for as long as I…read morecan remember. Bill Cornell and partners assumed ownership from Michael Amos in 2010. I remember coming here in middle school in the mid-90s. There used to be cigarette vending machines at this bowling alley (not anymore). I ran into one of my schoolmates one night and I watched as she casually inserted money and bought a pack of cigarettes, even banging on the machine loudly to get the pack to fall out. Our sixth grade social studies teacher was in a lane not far from us. Funny how that's the one thing I remember most about this place growing up. 20-some-odd years later, I returned to this bowling alley to meet up with some old friends. We met last week over the holidays. We originally were going to meet at Tar Heel Lanes (the old Brunswick) on North Main, but it appeared to have closed permanently. This is still very much an old school bowling alley with some enhancements here and there. The building hasn't changed from the outside. Purple High Point University flags now fly outside the main entrance. There's a spacious parking lot. There's a pro shop just inside the entrance followed by the lane and shoe rental counter, a pool and arcade room, and a bar and grill. There are 32 lanes total. The arcade room has a few pool tables and games such The Fast and the Furious arcade racing game (one of the screens appears to be blown out), skee ball, a jukebox, dance rhythm games, claw games, and more. The bar and grill is called Sidelines Sports Grill. The sports bar is quite spacious with many big, bright, and crisp TVs playing sports. I like the giant Coors Light / Wake Forest football and men's basketball graphic on the wall. I bought a Pepsi at the bar here for $1.99 ($1.86 + $0.13 tax), served in a Styrofoam cup. According to my receipt, the sports bar is open until 2am on Friday and Saturday nights with a DJ and karaoke after 9:30pm. Games of bowling are a good deal. Shoe rentals were $3. We paid $2.75 per person per game. Rates vary depending on day and time. I took a picture of the pricing which you can find here: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/high-point-bowling-center-high-point?select=F9XSGxG-jLRfPZcki7iBBw#F9XSGxG-jLRfPZcki7iBBw. $2 games and $2 shoes all day Sunday. $1 games and $1 shoes all day Monday except between 6-9pm. Be sure to check out their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/High-Point-Bowling-Center/135155726510999) for even more specials. The communal bowling balls, rental shoes, and bowling lanes all seemed to be in adequate condition. Widescreen displays above our lane kept track of scoring. There was a keyboard stand in front of the bowling ball return which we could use to edit our names and scores if needed. Plenty of seating is available at each lane consisting of both four and six-top tables along with bar-height four-tops. The carpet reminds me of a 1990s kids party: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/high-point-bowling-center-high-point?select=F9XSGxG-jLRfPZcki7iBBw#B7V5S6b2nYnU6m10uS_x7Q. Service was A-OK. The lockers and restrooms are located on a far end of the bowling alley across from lane 32.
