    Main Event, Montclair Ca.
    Mary F.

    Compared to other places I've taken my kiddos to, the Main Event, for me, was just "okay". I gave it 3 stars highly based on staff. Every single staff member I encountered from the minute we walked in was beyond helpful and they had such a friendly and great attitude! The arcade area felt stuffy and warm. It's not that big either, I found myself walking to the entrance just to cool down and breathe in fresh air. Their selection of video games was just "okay". Not too many options for little ones to play. Honestly, I felt like I was in a casino, strange. Experience here was meh..One baseball game stopped working mid way, one of the basketball hoop games wouldn't stop playing- it kept giving free bees, we came across another video game that was "out of order" and then I wouldn't let my kiddo play King Kong because of the sanitary health concern I had over the unclean face goggles and how many faces it touched..no thank you. (I saw no one cleaning the face goggles or swapping out after each use) I can't comment on food or bowling area because we didn't try but I will say it was a busy night and both those areas were full. It had a good size bowling alley, I don't feel I missed out. Finding parking is not a problem, Main Event is literally stuck next to Montclair Plaza. Not in a rush to go back.

    Some friends invited me here, and all this time, being a local and all, I hadn't even realized we had this here lol. It was especially cool to see that on Mondays they have a $12.99 special, so it was really fun getting to play all the different games available throughout the arcade! We also ended up doing laser tag, bowling, and pool, so there was definitely plenty to keep us entertained. Plus, the pizza turned out to be good as well. All in all, it was a really fun night and a cool local find! Will definitely be back! :)

    Trent the bartender is the best. Super attentive and quick with the drinks. I will definitely be coming back. I strongly recommend you guys coming here.

    Cans back for another birthday party. The hot honey on the pepperoni pizza was a huge hit. Will be coming back for that for sure. The hostess are very helpful. They offered to help me set up, all though there is not much to do because they handle everything they helped with the little things I brought to set up. They were kind enough to also cut the cake. Just a heads up if you host a party there will be a service fee that is not the tip it is an additional fee for facility use and it doesn't include tip. The host definitely deserve a tip they are awesome. The food comes out right on time, everything ran so smoothly. My guest had a great time.

    Buffalo wings with ranch

    We had such a great time here! As a matter of fact, I've been back twice since mid December. We decided to have our small office party there and did the eat and play combo. I ordered the wings and was impressed with the different sauces that they had. I got the buffalo sauce since that's always my go to and had a side of the Sriracha honey. Both sauces were 10 out of 10! The french fries are perfectly crispy and nice flavored. Service was excellent! I've come back again for the wings. Thanks for the experience! See you next time

    Had a great experience at Main Event, Guadalupe was super helpful! Food and ambiance was amazing thank you!

    VIP room
    Gerry D.

    There is a lot to be said for this place. A lot of great family, entertainment and value is all here under one roof. Multiple bowling alleys available, (including a private VIP bowling alley which is where me and my party were in), a mini pool hall, and an arcade for the kids and kids at heart... we got quick service and the food was good. We had pizza and fries, and multiple type of drinks. Everything was great and we all had a good time there. They're open late so if you've never been and want to enjoy a fun night, come here with your group and chill.

    10 Marquee Letters with Balloons
    Annalicia G.

    We recently provided large balloon centerpieces and our '10' marquee letters for a 10th birthday celebration at Main Event Montclair, and we were blown away by their event space! They have a large private banquet room in the back that is incredibly spacious, beautiful, and sparking clean. It provided the perfect canvas for our setup and allowed plenty of room for the guests to enjoy. The team there was absolutely amazing -- they were so kind, gave us easy access, and even offered to help if we needed anything during the installation. It's a joy to work in a venue where the staff is so attentive and welcoming. If you're looking for a spacious and well-managed venue for a birthday or special gathering, I highly recommend Main Event! -- Annalicia | Together Time Party Rentals

    Very cool spot. Took my kids to the arcade, only purchased $40 worth of tokens. The games averaged between 7 to 17 tokens. Of course it wasn't enough for my two kids but they had fun. Many game selections. All working properly. Won a decent amount of tickets. Their prizes were nice, good variety. The employees are friendly and helpful. Place looked well kept. My son had previously gone with his uncle and he loved their laser tag game. We didn't eat there but it seemed liked a good place to watch a game. Great ambiance in general.

    She should not be in customer service as a server. The most rude server I've ever experienced.

Bartender served the scantily clad woman before serving me and the gentleman next to me who ordered a simple old fashion only 5 mins before woman and her party arrived. Overpriced mediocre drinks. Maybe the good reviews are for their food and/or daytime service but certainly not deserving of a nice night out for drinks. Money poorly spent here.

We came in on a Sunday during brunch time and they were busy. The staff from the host/hostess stand to our server handled the craziness with professionalism and efficiency. Service did not waiver which made for an overall good meal with the family on Sunday Funday. The Finney's Crafthouse in Claremont is located on Harvard Avenue. As noted above, we came in on a Sunday around brunch/lunch time which also coincides with the Claremont Farmer's Market. As a result, parking was a little bit of a challenge and limited, though not to any fault of Finney's. There were several things that were intriguing on their menu, but ultimately, we ended up ordering the - Cheesesteak Egg Rolls - A5 Wagyu Burger - Pastrami Reuben I am not lying when I saw that everything that touched down on our table was delicious. The Cheesesteak Egg Rolls set the perfect tone to our meal with a generous amount of cheesesteak, crispy shells, and the perfect sauces for dipping to complement the appetizer. The Wagyu burger was excellent. We ordered the larger basket of fries to share which were fried to perfection. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his Pastrami Reuben. The food at Finney's Crafthouse in Claremont was outstanding. We would definitely visit again in the future when in the area. If you are reading this review trying to decide if you should give them a try, the answer is yes!

The bow tie pasta is served cold and has a vinegary flavor to it, definitely a distinct taste, but I personally loved it because I enjoy sour/vinegary flavors. I can see why it might not be everyone's favorite though, but I personally really enjoyed it. The salmon was also super flavorful and cooked perfectly. Same with the penne pasta and potatoes. Honestly everything was just made really well and good. For the sauce, we got their popular jalapeno garlic sauce and it paired well with absolutely everything. Needless to say, this place was really good from head to toe. I also got to meet the owner and he was super friendly too. I seriously wish they would open one closer to my area. Parking was really easy and the ambience was lively with sports playing all around the bar and plenty of seating.

I looked around the patio area and realized there were two other tables whose patrons were there before us, waiting for drinks and service, just like we were. One of them was fanning herself with the menu, as it was close to 100° outside. (There are no misters on the patio, just a slight breeze now and then. And, if you sit near the patio entrance, you should know that the huge dryer vents from the adjacent hotel are pushing hot air into the patio.)
