Bowling was fun but pricey. The staff was helpful and nice. Only gave 2 stars because half the arcade games weren't working but they still take your money. Only got to use half or less of the money we put on the game card. It's already over priced and then my son kept getting frustrated when the games didn't work and then I was frustrated cause we keep wasting money for nothing. I would come back for bowling but not to play any arcade games. Don't make the same mistake we did. read more

we haven't done everything here, but we love it! the food is great! tried the Lemon Pepper rub wings and im inlove, the pepperoni black olive pizza was enjoyed immensely by grandchild, we left with a bag full of rubber ducks lol, and a bunch of other prizes again. this time we had the place to ourselves for quite a while as it had just opened. Staff is always sweet and accomodating, only complaint is they need face guards on helmets to prevent spread of pink eye etc. or at least keep wipees on hand for diserning parents PLEASE, for this reason we were unable to use the VR games. Everything else was fantastic, wish they'd open one closer to me! one last thing, try the ropes, i hurt and only got through one section ( Im 63, and invisibly physically impaired) the staff were great and service was fast and friendly for us. read more

Came here on a date, and it was the perfect place to do so. I was happy to see how clean, spacious, and fun this place was. We went on a Tuesday night, and it was still pretty bumpin. Bowling: Expensive - but the lanes are glow in the dark, the seating is clean and comfortable, the scoring system is new, and their are TVs everywhere to watch whatever game or music video your heart desires. Also you get complimentary socks if you forget yours :) Laser Tag: SUPER fun. Right next to bowling and only $6 a person. This was probably my favorite activity of the night. Note to the guy running laser tag.......please just smile, it cant be that bad! Video games: We bought an all you can play $10 card for two hours. pretty good deal honestly. favorite games were basketball, skeeball, and air hockey. Pool: its pool......lol what more is there to say. Other than its right by the bar in the more "grown up area" and tons of TVs around for your viewing pleasure. The bar/food: All VERY good, I was shocked. They HAD MOOSE DROOL ON TAP!!!! thats my favorite beer and I can never find it anywhere. good work! I got the grilled chicken sandwich with avocado, and it was delish. - I would come back here for sure sometime, I had a blast!, this would be sure a good place for a group of people or a party - read more

If you're coming to play the arcade games, don't waste your money! More than half of the games don't work.

Just tried this place for the first time tonight and it was really good! I ordered the spinach and bacon dip and the California sandwich, both were very good my waitress Susie was excellent very friendly and kind. Enjoyed my first time experience will be back again! read more

See all

This place was amazing the beer is the coldest in town and the games were great good for kids

Always love coming here to let the kids run off some steam playing laser tag and walking on the high rope obstacle. Look for specials online or ask for them when you check in, you will be surprised what they have to offer. Where else can you sit and have a couple drinks and watch sports while your kids enjoy games? LOVE THIS PLACE!! read more

We had our twin's 9th birthday party at the Main Event recently and I will not book a birthday here again. The facility is great, but the service is lacking. Party hosts are not very confident or skills to work with children. They stand along the wall until you insist they move to help. The male manager of the party hosts was constantly apologizing and trying to make things right, but the female staff seem very unmotivated to take initiative to do their job. Before I booked I made it very clear that I needed party hosts that would help with the children. Great place to bring kids to play games but service is lacking read more

If you're hungry and want to have some fun, take a $50 bill, set it on fire and use it to cook a hot dog and you'll be way ahead of a visit to this joint. Disengaged help. Terrible food. Many games that steal your money. Will never go back. Also, it was lunch time. They had three pieces of cheese pizza available for order. I asked for something fresher, the lady said no. My wife ordered one and it was cardboard with no cheese. When we left an hour later, the same two pieces of leftover crap were STILL all they had. read more

Couldn't get game cards, couldn't get service at the "restaurant", ended up leaving with two very sad children. Will never be back and seriously hope they go out of business read more

We were very disappointed. Almost every other game that we tried to play didn't work. There were NO signs indicating they were broken so you swiped your card and lost credit. I went to the prize area multiple times to get our credit back and the cashier could care less. Don't waist your money here. read more

This is the worse main event I have ever been to. It's a complete scam. You buy a game card and go to swipe to play a game and it takes your credits and then doesn't work. None of the games work. Maybe less than half do. This is a complete waste of money and time. The worse main event ever. It needs to be shut down. read more

Someone needs to get working on half of those games that don't work and don't even warn us that they don't work until we spend our money! Ridiculous because it's already too expensive and overrated! Restrooms don't even work properly either! Will not be coming back until this is taken care of responsibly! read more

Main Event Tulsa - Bowling Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

My low rating is based directly on my experience with the employees. I never usually write reviews, but after last night I felt inclined to do so. I LOVE going to Main Event. There is so much to do for such a great price! Not to mention, the nachos were delicious and so cheesy!!! However, the customer service was seriously TERRIBLE. Besides the front desk employees, everyone else looked miserable. Nobody smiled. Nobody was even friendly. One would think that the employees should be smiling and trying to hype the customers up, this was not the case. One employee in particular" Raquel" was extremely rude. I felt like I was going through security at a prison instead of what should've been a fun gravity ropes experience. I have gone to Main Event several times and I must say I am always disappointed with how unfriendly the staff is, but last night was just ridiculous. Customer service is the foundation of a business and this area needs to be improved ASAP. Otherwise, it would be 5/5. read more

We were the first ones here today. Several tables in the bowling area are filthy. Not wiped down and sticky. We are the only ones bowling and some new bowlers come. The put them right beside us. Next guy comes and they put him right beside us. Our game shuts off after an hour. I'm told to wait in line. A guy comes to the side and pays and gets a lane. Cutting in front of everyone. I'm left to wait while families order shoes get lanes? Really? Mgmt needs to walk around a little more and speak with people. Maybe see their dirty tables. read more

Fourth time I've been here. Bartender is always in a bad mood (hates his life). Ordered food and came out cold. Tried to bowl never gave us a lane and had us go wait and had to go back and ask 3 times. Great theme horrible service. You'll have a good time if you eat and drink before arriving,, just don't order anything and try to interact with the staff, you'll have a good time. read more

Bowling is fun however they sell you stuff without informing you on things that could go wrong. We got wrist bands and went to do laser tag. We were next in line however groups kept going in front of us because they had birthday parties. Nobody tells u things like that. No point on getting the wristband because there's no equal opportunity it's like buying a plane ticket and u keep getting pushed back cause all the flights are oversold . read more

Where do I start...this place was beyond awful. Let me list what all was wrong with this horror of an experience: - I thought it would be more beneficial to buy an unlimited bowling pass for my family since we planned on bowling more than one game. Well...there is an hour cap on your lane time which they don't bother to tell you. I understand the point, but when you pay $100 to bowl, you expect to bowl more than one game and then get kicked off the lane. - The lane was awful. I am not a pro bowler by any means, but I am pretty good and like to spin the ball and I am not a "Straight ball" bowler. The lane was so dry and not taken care of that the ball would grip unnaturally no matter how I threw it and went straight into the gutter every time. I had to resort to straight bowling just to even try and enjoy it. The lane was awful. They clearly don't know how to take care of lanes. - The lane was broke for 20 minutes. Then, the person that helped us said they credited us back that 20 minutes, which they did not, and then they kicked us off the lane. If you are bowling in the middle of the game, they will kick you off regardless. They have no etiquette or understanding. - The bowling alley lanes were so cramped. I consistently had little kids elbowing me in my back and wanted to turn around and slap them, but restrained myself. Parents apparently don't know how to take care of their kids at this establishment, and there is no divide or space between you and the other obnoxious, trashy family if they get put next to you. - I demanded a refund because of how incredibly poor the experience was, and they would not budge. I never complain because I hate people that complain, but when I complain and I am legit angry with the service I receive, you know it sucks. I am one of the most easy going people on earth and this place single handily ruined my day, and my parents' day as they came up to visit me for 2 days from Alabama and we haven't seen each other for a long time. After we left here, we were all so pissed off and irritated that we could barley salvage the day. The only thing that made it better was some dessert from Braums. - In other news, they claim they have 22 Oz beers on draft. Such a lie...now...I love drinking beer and I am a beer geek. I know a 12 Oz glass when I see one. I told the person who served it to me and she rolled her eyes and proceeded to tell me it was a 12 oz. If it wasn't a 12 oz, it was barley a 14. Sure as hell not a 22 Oz. glass. Verdict - This place is a rip off. It was the worst experience at any entertainment facility I have ever had. Customer service is non existent, and I would of done better taking that $100 and going to a casino or setting it on fire. Bowling alley lanes were improperly taken care off, super cramped, and way too many annoying families to even slightly enjoy the time spent there with mine. I write this review in that hard working families who value there money, can truly take their family somewhere else where they will actually enjoy and get value for their hard earned money spent. I honestly see this place being closed in a few years with as poor as their customer service is. read more

The workers are terrible and the games are way over priced. I recommend going to Cinergy instead. The workers are great and the games are cheaper. For example the fishing game is $1.75 at main event but $1 at cinergy. Also the food court at main event is closed till the evening and when I came in the middle of the day itwas gravely disappointing that it was closed. #maineventsucks #cinergygang read more

Friends and I went to the Main Event Entertainment in Tulsa over the weekend looking for something that was exactly that... entertainment. The entire place was extremely loud and overcrowded with toddlers running around like drunk people, and drunk people running around like toddlers. They offer smoking in the outside dining area, which lingers to the front of the building, making it uncomfortable for those waiting outside. The first thing you see is a customer service desk with screens above it listing all the events and all the prices for the events. After standing in the long line for about 15 minutes, they tell us we are at the wrong desk, and this desk is strictly for bowling--although every event is listed above. They directed us to the proper desk for the event we chose... which is all the way in the back where the gift shop is. We stand in line AGAIN and finally purchase our ticket (only to find out we were given the wrong time). Again we wait in line, and we make it to the front. The "manager," Zach, comes over to offer assistance, but only makes things worse. Eventually, we are ready to play. And despite all this, the laser tag was actually enjoyable. Another worker helping with another event, the Gravity Rope, used profanity in a conversation with a fellow co-worker right in front of me, a customer. She, whose name I wish I knew, did a poor job setting up my harness. Thankfully, before starting the event, another worker recognized her mistake and corrected it before I had a nasty fall. Thinking I finally found a nice and helpful person in this establishment, he makes a racial slur about the woman who previously helped me, and used profanity. I will definitely not attend this place again, and I encourage you to stray from it as well. read more

Main Event has a lot of cool things so do, but the arcade can get priccccccey. Seriously, the normal price for one game of Skee-Ball is $1. A lot of the casual arcade games are in the $1-$1.75 range, but there are flashier games (such as enclosed box shooters) that are more expensive. Selection-wise, they have a pretty good spread of games. They have the classics: Skee-Ball, claw machines, and ball-throwing games. (Alas, there's no Big Bertha machine, but they do have Down the Clown.) They also have Korea's version of DDR, some linked head-to-head games (basketball, snowmobile racing, and a skiing game), and a lot of shooters. I was actually surprised at the variety of shooters at Main Event. You can aim a light gun at pretty much any noun you can think of: terrorists, large game animals, zombies, zombie pirates, dinosaurs, and a bunch of other things. As far as the non-arcade games go, the bowling was fun; the consoles have cute scoring animations that will put your face in the scene. Otherwise, it's just bowling. Laser tag was pleasantly devoid of small children, but that may vary depending on when you go. Overall, Main Event is pretty fun, and I'd give It another star if the games weren't so expensive. Look at their daily specials or for someone else to foot the bill. TL; DR: Main Event is the place to go for light gun games if you've got $$$. read more

Literally the worst customer service I've ever experienced. It was our first time here (moved to Oklahoma 2 months ago, saw you guys on the side of the highway). We went to play laser tag and the Kid who was suppose to help us was on his phone messing with snapchat! ON HIS PHONE WHILE AT WORK, WHEN HE IS SUPPOSE TO BE HELPING PEOPLE. Then we decided it was time to bowl (bought the $17.95 pass). We buzzed for a waitress after not receiving help for the first 28 minutes, after realizing the girl walked passed us a few times we stopped and asked her why we weren't being help. She then told us it was because she was off in 15 minutes. RIDICULOUS. You guys seriously need to get your act together. The only reason I put two stars is because we had a great time playing...after we walked to the bar and got our own drinks and food. read more

Main Event Tulsa - Shareables, Entress, Hand Helds - Bowling Near Me - Tulsa, Oklahoma

Most arcade games do not work yet they do not put a sign on them and they still take your credits. You can get credits put back on your card but how many kids will actually do that. They are ripping people off in a bad way. Very disappointing. We won't be going back since half of the games don't work read more

We came here on a Saturday night with friends to have a bite to eat and bowl. The food options are kind of limited due to the fact that the food comes out fast and is great for families. We ate in the bar and the service was so so. The selection is your typical bar food and pizza. But it was good food and the portions were generous. We also bowled which was a lot of fun. I did find out later that you could reserve a lane ahead of time online. Our wait was 1 1/2 hours at 7pm on a Saturday night which wasn't bad but reserving online would be much better! This place is also clean and spacious. Good for families, date night or groups. read more

Worst experience every time the games don't , staff acts like they don't work there, food is ok, servers mess up every order if your looking for a fun family spot this ain't it should just shut this spot down waste of money and time read more

Horrific experience. Believe they only have 10 people on staff. Cleaned our own table, flagged down our own waitress, food got cold as I stood at bar to get one drink for 30 minutes. $200 for 2 adults and 2 kids. Avoid read more

Working hard to have a good time here although the manager, that checked our *reserved* paid party in was rude and treating everyone like cattle. He sent us to Laser tag and told us to be there at 7:15. We went to laser tag and were told we were late (at 7:15) by the kids behind the counter. So the kids only got to do half a game. At the end, the manager, John, asked the person who paid how everything went. She told him about the laser tag issue and he got everyone in for another round. Most of the other staff have been nice, particularly our server Lauren as well as Tim and Kobe at the front counter. The food was way better than a typical place like this with a great selection on par with D&B. Game selection good as well. They may have been having a bad Friday night. I would still strongly recommend avoiding Main Event until they work out their people issues, particularly on busy nights. We plan to try it out again on a slower night like Monday. read more

Came in on a Friday night for a bachelorette party. We knew that coming at 7:00 it would be busy. So we asked to be sat outside. The host seemed to be annoyed by the request. The server was ok. He didn't have help that he needed for a party of 8. I also got hit in the head with a tray by a server and did not receive an apology. We thought we would play laser tag. Stood in the line in the front lobby only to be told that we were in the wrong line. And we had to go to the winners Center to get put on the list. Walked over there and asked about laser tag and was rudely told that it was an hour wait. Which we were ok with. The cashier Jacob just stuck out his hand not telling us the cost. (For us it was our first time here) and his partner Alyssa just sat there not helping the long line that was starting to form. While we wait 2 of the games were broken (skee ball and a motorcycle game) but still took the money. After posting this the managers made it right read more

Fun place to take the kids particularly for bEARTHdays or to celebrate an occasion. It can get a little pricey with playing the games and buying food so it's not a everyday type of thing. However the games are fun for grade school aged kids and the food was pretty darn good as well. I ate pizza and wings and thoroughly enjoyed both. There is also plenty of televisions in the building so i would Imagine it's a great place to go to watch sporting events read more

My family loves this place. I've got to say though, they really need to bring those delicious ribs back!! :) Great for all ages, with arcade games, bowling, tight roping, go-karts and billiards. Not to mention the food and drinks! Great place to bring the whole family for a night of fun. Saturday can get pretty busy, increasing wait time for some of the items available! read more

YOU know how 1 bad reviews scares you off?? Well this won't be one of those. We read several bad reviews and were almost talked out of going. Went on thursday about 4PM for the summer $15 thing. We played 1 hour of bowling several hours of Pool played a few arcade games but all are min of $1 each with some that are at chuck E Cheese for .25 was a bit much. So then we played a few games of shuffleboard. It was fun we had a great time. We could have done laser tag but decided we were tired after 4 hours of play. So maybe another time. I really think if your going to do arcade do the monday night pay 1 price. Otherwise it is way to expensive. But i love the all you can play of Bowling, laser tag, rope walk, shuffleboard and pool. It was not busy we had plenty of time to do everything. I can imagine this place gets crazy on fri or sat nights however. The only reason i didn't do 5 stars was the arcade games are just way to expensive. Most every game was 1.50 -$175 and some even $2-$4 and I'm sorry thats just way to much for a arcade game. Sure some of them were pretty flashy but still its still just an arcade game. If you can do the summer or winter fun pass for $10,16 or $18 depending on the time of day you go and stay for several hours its worth it and you can have allot of fun. If your going to do arcade id suggest get the pass on monday nights or find other places to go. read more

the service is so bad i order things and they don't even write it down and they forget it a worker rolled her eyes at me when i told her there was a whole chip in the cup read more

rude bartender she was very rude and seem like she only cared about certain customers manager was rude too they both dressed unprofessional very rude to the party i was with also half of the games were broken waste of time read more

The place is extremely clean, which was a surprise. Most places like this are not clean, which tends to make us never return! We got the winter bracelet for about $18 a person... Great deal. We bowled, did the soap course a few times, played laser tag a few times, and played pool a bunch. The arcade is a little over priced, which is the reason I give 4 stars instead of 5. We will be returning! read more

Avoid at all costs!! Literally, this place is a rip off!! They charge by the hour for bowling and then additional for shoes. Then when we wanted to add an extra hour for bowling, the employee ALLIE was extremely rude and wouldn't allow us to purchase an additional hour without being put on the "wait list." There were at least 15 lanes open!!!! We hadn't even received our food yet because our server didn't arrive until we had been sitting there for 20min. Keep in mind they start the clock as soon as you sit down. You haven't even had a chance to put on your shoes, look at the menu, etc.. By the time we started bowling ten minutes had already passed!! Next time we will gladly go to a LOCAL establishment such as Broken Arrow Lanes that is much more friendly and charges per game not per hour. Will never come back here again. read more

I went to Main Event tonight and had a horrible customer service experience. I came in and went to the bar to get a drink, and when asked for my ID I provided a state issued picture ID, and the bartender stated he could not accept said ID. I went on to show a photo of my driver's license to accompany the other ID I already gave them. The manager then proceeded to tell me he could not accept either one, and when I told him I would be leaving a negative review about my experience, he proceeded to deny my boyfriend a drink as well and refused to let us order food. read more

Used to be a fun place to come but now I understand why the parking lots empty, this is my last time coming here. Only 30% of the games actually work. Too many are broken, don't work-out of order, no balls in 2 ball games & skeeball Zero out of 6 work. Atleast they did fix 1 game while I was here......too bad this used to be an awesome place. read more

Tonight was my first time at The Main Event, with my husband & daughter. I can't believe how much fun I had! Customer Service was Top Rate! We got the 14.99 special, which got us unlimited bowling, laser tag, rope course, & billiards. Four hours of fun, fun, fun! Got there at 9pm and left at 1am. I can wait to go back!!! read more

While visiting a friend, we decided to go out and have some fun since we had some kids with us. Knowing the business closes at 11pm we got there at 7:30 thinking we had plenty of time. We walked in, looked cool. I walked up to the main desk asking if we get a preloaded card or how everything worked. The gentleman advised we load money on a card to play arcade games and bowling, laxer tag, pool and the course was extra. The gentleman sold us on this day pass for $20 a person(seems like a good deal). Well we play the arcade, get some food then go to play laser tag. Well not knowing, they close that part at 9:30, it would of been good to know to go do that before since we paid for it. So the guys played pool for about 30 minutes. We decided to go bowl a game, we get the games going and get 3 frames in and the lights go off, everything is closed down. We were not able to use our points on our card for prizes for the kids, we were not able to finish out game. We just felt very rushed out. From being out of town, I would not recommend this business with the hospitality and info provided to us by staff. read more

Watch your receipts! While bowing we ordered hamburgers, sodas and chees bites. They added a kiosk game that we did not sit there and play. Told the waitress and she took it off. Reordered and the list said exactly what we ordered then they charged me 12.00 for nachos that we did not order. Didn't notice until the next morning. Of course which all the chaos and noise of the place, I did t think to look at the receipt. Too expensive ! And very much a rip off! read more
