    All of the dark lanes are the lanes reserved for leagues special is unlimited bowling between 12/5 p m.You are greedy and you make me sick

    I was trying to find the good things. Honestly, the only good I found with today's experience was that my kids got to hang out with their friends. Today's monday, october thirteenth two thousand twenty five. This place is running a special.You buy a unlimited play card before noon and you can play unlimited until five. It's supposed to include bowling and laser tag with a ten dollar arcade card. For those that don't read the fine print which I usually do.But for this, I didn't think I would need to. BIG MISTAKE!! THIS PLACE IS A JOKE. we arrived at eleven fifty just in time to get in.For the fifteen dollar unlimited play between noon and five. Unbeknownst to me that there was a six dollar per person charge for bowling shoes. Again, not reading the fine print big mistake on my part learned my lesson. There's also a one hour time limit for bowling lanes, even though they sell it and market it as unlimited bowling between noon and five. The classic greedy bait and switch. They shut our game off during the seventh frame.I then went to ask them why and they explained to me that there was a wait list.And if I wanted to get on it, that it would be roughly an hour until we were able to play again. I requested a manager.He then informed me that because the leagues reserve the other thirty bowling lanes that there was no lanes available for at least another hour. I said they didn't even finish their first game.They're still in the seventh frame well, you got the package deal, right?They only get an hour of time.I said, how is that unlimited then?If it's only an hour of time. I told him he was not worth my time.Anymore walked awayWent to get in line for laser tag, only to find out that there was one person working an area that requires a three person crew. When I asked the one person when the laser tag would be available and she said, "as soon as a manager comes and replaces me.I can start running the laser tag area, which is actually my job.Not running the store" we stood in line for roughly another fifteen minutes.Waiting for somebody to come and man.The laser tag. This place is a breeding ground for greed.It's screams greedy sloppy management with a bait and switch.Mentality, they don't care about truly honoring what they sell.They just want you to get in the door so they can nickel and dime, every penny out of your pocket. If your budget conscious or if you really want to enjoy yourself, do not waste your time coming to the main event in thorton, you'll wish you hadn't.

    Oh man! Was not expecting the amazing experience we ended up having. We got the wrist band that included laser tag, bowling and pool. We got a few cocktails and the a party platter with chicken sandwiches, cheeseburgers, fries, fries pickles and Brussels sprouts. Everything was so delicious, I would go there just to eat. We also had the funnel cake fries! The service was great, thank you Pablo! And it wasn't over crowded, so the ambiance was more relaxed.

    Sign telling people to wait in bowling line only to be told again to "just sit anywhere and wait".
    Jason C.

    Made the drive out for veteran's day free meal and 30 minute game card with my daughter. The dining area was closed off with a sign stating to go in bowling line. After waiting there for a few minutes I asked the guy running the register if they were participating in the veteran's day free meal, his response was "o yeah you can just sit anywhere or talk to a server". We sat in the area that looked more like a restaurant instead of a bar, but quickly realized it was probably closed. So then i took my daughter to play games on our own budget. After about 20 minutes of several games being broken and just reducing our credit on our game card we again tried to eat. We sat closer to the bar and were passed by several employees in various colored shirts. I looked around and saw a bunch of people sitting that appeared annoyed and had nothing on their table. Waited about 4 minutes then walked out. Disappointing bizarre experience. This may have been a good night to maybe have a hostess and seat people in the dining room. Let me guess, staff shortages due to post-Covid problems? I'm not seeing a reason to return. I've wasted several dollars on broken video games and management either didn't care enough about veteran's day or couldn't effectively pull off what "big corporate" had in mind. Avoid.

    They had a ton of lanes and the service was quick. We went with a large group and they easily accommodated us. They have a ton of games within the game of bowling you can play with friends and family. We ordered a couple of pizzas and non alcoholic beer which was quick to be brought out. You will be waited on if you have a lane - you can also order a drink at the bar and bring it to your lane. Stay up to date with their specials by visiting their website for the best deals.

    We were hesitant in going to Main Event in Thornton after the reviews we read. I am so glad we gave it a shot. We had the most fun night!! The place is huge! Great music, ambiance, and tons for entertainment. Everything was clean and we had wonderful service. Although the mixed drinks were weak, that was the only negative. If you like bowling and fun, definitely check it out.

It was a great place for a corporate event with many different options that accommodate everyone. Everything was going great but when I went to the bar with my coworkers who wanted a drink, I was halfway done with my second drink, and i'd like to say mine were not boozy. My coworker offered to buy me a drink and I said sure, the bartender (not the same as the one who originally served me) took the money and charged for the drinks. She comes back and says that she can't give me my drink until the current one is gone, so I have no option but to finish it right there. I'm then talking to my coworkers and she comes back and tells me "This will be your last drink as I am noticing some slurring in your speech. Do you have a ride home" I'm in literal shock, what did you say? I am no where near being cut off, yes I have a ride home, myself. I ask my coworkers, am I slurring, they state that i'm talking normally. I was tongue tied my whole life and got a frenectomy a few years ago to help with it but I continue to have a speech impediment as I did not go to speech therapy. I thought I was done being called out for not speaking like everyone else. Days later i'm still thinking about this and it hurts that people are still making me feel less of a person for the way I speak and enunciate. I spent almost $1,000 there for a corporate event and I got cut off for having a speech impediment, I felt humiliated in front of my coworkers, that is clear discrimination.

He found me a charger for my phone as it was dying out or dead I should say lol but anyways, we have decided that we are gonna go back and try to bowl.

Everything was really clean accessible parking accessible doors accessible bathrooms, very well maintained. Everybody was super super nice. I believe the kitchen manager brought us over some wings and wished us happy Valentine's Day as we were enjoying our beers found that very, very comforting and welcoming so if you're ever down in that area, stop by and get a lane and throw some balls around lol.

Bar is nicely spaced away from lanes as to create its own experience and vibe. Bartender was friendly and carried great conversation about family and his job was held easily between us. Interior was filled with a wide variety of music at decent level as to hold such conversations at a normal friendly level. Tables and seating were clean and aroma of food offerings occasionally filed the air. Bar area lighting kept bar area exclusive and held its own experience. Lanes were well lit and open for any size group giving enough space for a fun and unobstructed night of sportsmanship. The mall maybe gone but this mainstay has survived for a good reason and will prove why when visiting.
