Main Event Gilbert

Great place to take kids off all ages. Food was good. Prices are not bad. Drinks are on point. Great place for Birthday Parties. I can always find a table. We have so much fun here.

We went during night happy hour and got the queso, chicken nachos, and pretzel sticks. Honestly, the food wasn't that great?I'd rate it a 2 out of 5. The bathrooms were super gross too? no toilet paper or seat covers in some of the stalls. Also, the $12.99 "unlimited" deal isn't really unlimited?it only lasts for like 4 hours, which feels kinda misleading.

We visited Main Event specifically for the $14.99 all you can play deal. When we inquired at the register about the deal the worker said it had ended yesterday. I understand that the deal varies by location but there were numerous signs all over the lobby about the deal (see pictures). It was even on the screen above the register. I feel like it was a bait and switch tactic to get us in the door and tell our kids that they could play. Now we had to pay more or disappoint the kids. If a deal ends, the promo

We came here and did the Verse Immersive we did 2 games and we enjoyed it but did not like that the windows were all open it took away from the experience. Also expensive for what you get.

Main Event is so much fun! This place has so much to do and something for everyone. Bowling, laser tag, ropes course, pool tables, and of course the huge arcade. It's also got tons of food and drink options, including 2 restaurants and a full bar. Great spot for date night or getting a group together! Only cons - very pricey (everything), and a lot of the arcade games not working but taking credits (you can get them refunded without an issue but takes away from the fun).

My daughter had her teen bday party and the planning process was easy. The day of, the host was helpful, the timeline was easy but the food was "ok" and the price was a little high, but well worth it for the teens to just run amok and have fun together.

We've had Payton D. as our waitress twice now and she's seriously the best! Super friendly, always in a good mood, and just a great vibe all around. Both times we came in, she made us feel welcome and taken care of. Even when my pizza came out wrong, she didn't hesitate to fix it and made sure everything turned out right. She really goes above and beyond to make the experience better. People like her are the reason we keep coming back!

My husband and I reserved a time for the Verse experience. Our first contact was with Tabitha at the front podium. She was helpful and so nice. Dakota was the employee at the Verse area! I can't say enough nice things about him. He was knowledgeable, friendly and so very helpful. Thank you for having them both as employees!

Went the last 2 hours of closing for bowling birthday. Better food than expected with it having bar options. Good size portions for the cost. Good alcohol choices.

Thank you Main Event for hosting such an awesome birthday party for my son. The whole group had the best time. Food was great, games were super fun, and the service was amazing. Also, for a three-hour party the price point per person was very reasonable. A special shout out to our party host Sara. She was so great with the kids, offered tremendous customer service, and had a lovely personality. Please recognize her for a job well done, as you have an amazing Team member in her.

We celebrated our anniversary at verse immersive inside the main event. Everybody was friendly and informative and polite. They were very helpful with the learning curve for us, and the experience itself was delightful. We had a lovely anniversary!

Very poor place. I've wrote a review for them before, but it seems it got deleted. I'll take pictures the next time I'm nearby if this occurs again, but it's not worth your visit. Most machines are usually either down for maintenance or just straight up bot working. The prize center is disappointing at best. The food is pretty close to their usual quality, with only me needing to request an item on my visit that was forgotten. Your money is best spent elsewhere.

Faith was our party host for our son and daughter?s birthday. She was a phenomenal host, very kind, and she made sure we were taken care of. We wish we could have eaten before we did activities but overall it was a pleasant experience. Faith really went above and beyond to ensure our time was used well.

Went for verse immersive but left before buying tickets. There were 4 people ahead of us but the headsets weren't all working properly so a couple of people went in then when the employee got the headsets working the other two went in. They were still having issues with them while they were in the experience. The employee asked if I was there for the 12:30 time and I said I didn't pre-order my tickets. He never spoke to me again and when we saw all the headset issues we just left. Wanted to get pictures in

Attended my Grandsons birthday party...food, service and atmosphere was great...22 Kids had an amazing time?? Then at the end while cleaning up we were getting the balloons together (they were in a bowling pin as a centerpiece) that the Kids had been playing with... rubbing on their hair, licking them ?? , throwing them on the floor and touching them with grease stained hands a manager came over and told us that they (Main Event) reuse the balloons for each birthday party WITHOUT sanitizing them for the nex

The pizza was great flavor, but wasn't cooked all the way through. It was a little gooey. But they were competitive in price to any fast food restaurant. The restaurant service was great, but the front counter needs more staff. The one guy was trying his best while 2 managers just stood in there on their phones ignoring us waiting for bowling shoes. If it was staffed better at the front they could take more time to explain how everything works to the newbies like us instead of rushing everyone through and e

This place is amazing! So many different activities and things to do. The bar service was slow, but the drinks were delicious. We had beer and cocktails. The Mai tai was delicious. We played bowling, pool, and then we had a gluten free pepperoni pizza that was delicious. You couldn't even tell it was gluten free!

I literally could not ask for a better team running this location. From pricing to food issues or the occasional child cause injury they had it covered. We were here for 6 hours while I brought my nieces and nephews. They never wrote off our problems or did everything they could to make them better. All the problems I was experiencing were my own fault but they corrected them according with much respect. Hunter was the best waiter bar non for any experience for our bowling stint or any other dining experien

Main Event is a great main event. I went for a school fieldtrip and hangout with friends. Bowling is amazing. The sky rail is great because you can turn back unlike Urban Air. Laser Tag is very fun. There is a great space for laser tag. However, the points for games is very, very, expensive. I payed forty bucks for a card and only got to do three games.

My wife and I brought our daughters here as part of their kids "free" bowling program. This place has just about everything. Our bowling experience was great although I was disappointed that the games ended early on around the 8th frames. When I notified the attendant though he was quick to fix and resolve the issue. Other than that we had no issues with the bowling. The majority of the game card stations were not functioning properly. My wife was able to get the last one to work to get our daughter's gam

The verse immersive experience was overpriced and frustrating. You only have 20 minutes from start to finish and you can barely get through half of it in that time if you want to read or do everything, and it the loud fast rap like poetry you couldn't advance past was so long there's no way to finish everything when you have to stand there listening waiting to do anything. I wanted more time with the outer space to actually read the interesting information but we barely finished and had no time to read, a

Fun place for all ages. Several machines were not working properly and did not pay out points as it should be. Price was a little high comparing with other arcade places. Bowling was fun for the whole family. Food was good and plenty. Server was somewhat ?whatever? attitude.

I had an amazing experience at Main Event in San Tan, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment we walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and vibrant energy set the stage for a fantastic family outing. The variety of activities available was incredible?bowling, arcade games, and even laser tag! Our family had a blast trying everything, and it was a great way to bond and create lasting memories together. The layout of the venue made it easy for us to move from one activity to another, keeping the

Went with my partner for our one year anniversary! Had a wonderful experience! Had so much fun with the games, food, and drinks at mainevent they were all enjoyable! Such a great date night atmosphere.

We stopped here to have a little fun, and that is exactly what we did! We had a great time bowling and playing laser tag! This place definitely reminded me of a Dave n Busters back home with all of the games for every age! Drinks were PERFECT!! We really didn't have time to try the food here even though it looked really good on the menu. They also have a place to cash in all your tickets and lots of prizes and candy to spend them on. If we are out this way again, we will definitely be back for more fun and

Ugh, Main Event. More like Main Wait. We walked in, ready for some fun, but were greeted by? absolutely no one. Seriously, it felt like we were invisible. We stood around like lost puppies for a solid fifteen minutes before anyone even acknowledged our existence, And then, once we were finally at a table, the waiting game really began. I swear, I could have knitted a sweater in the time it took for a server to finally mosey over and take our drink order. By the time they actually arrived, we were parched an

We had a large group come in(18), with no reservation, and they took great care of us. Set us up all together on the bowling lanes, made us some larger style apps and really helped accommodate everyone. With the larger group and no reservation we weren't expecting all that to happen but they did a wonderful job. We had a great time bowling, playing laser tag and arcade games. Fun night out!

Bowling with my wife and daughter. Food and drinks good but expensive! Be prepared to spend some money for the grub and cocktails. Service was HORRIBLE? young staff but that's no excuse for poor management. Expensive to bowl a few frames now and days. We spent a hundred bucks for two games, a pretzel, and a bloody mary. Price of doing business I suppose.

Went there for verse immersive, we chose to do the unreal garden & star walk. It started it off great and then 15 minutes left of it. My son?s headset just stopped. Spoke with the attendant and there was nothing he could do. It happens a lot. Didn't have that problem with the Starwalk. It is pretty cool. Contacted the main office to let them know about this and have heard nothing back. Don't think we'll be back. Here is an update. Filled out their form & never heard back. Not surprised.

LAME EVENT Took my kids for a morning of gaming about 20% of the games are broken but are more than happy to take your money. That's a pretty wild considering most games are well over a dollar to swipe and they can't be bothered to keep them up.

We came to Main Event for my son?s birthday as he wanted to bowl. We paid approx. $80 for 5 bowlers for 1 hour. We wanted to eat lunch and get some drinks while we bowled for an hour, expecting a waiter to come tend to us. We sat for 40 mins., watching 4 waiters laugh and talk while standing around the computer/register. We asked twice for wait staff and they said someone would come see us. Watching groups who came after us get service and we still sat here without sodas or food. At 41 mins into our pla

It's a great place for birthday parties, social gatherings, as well as get togethers. All of what can entertain you is right here!! With bowling alleys to arcades, as well as fun zones featuring Laser Tag! Take the entire family out to Main Event...AND HAVE YOURSELVES A RIP-ROARING GOOD TIME!!!

Omg best server ever i literally love her. Her name is Charlene and treated us very well she kept checking on us to make sure we were doing good. And always made sure our drinks were filled. Thank you!????

Had a blast, was a great place to bring friends and family every time I come! Ema was awesome and helped me out in winners choice and made the atmosphere feel genuinely enriched! For sure will recommend!

This place is always in need of maintenance and is way over priced. Our bowling lane kept jamming and always took more pins than knocked down and resetting it didn't help the problem. They were out of several menu items and the food took forever even though the place was pretty empty. Many of the arcade games were off or not working properly which we have experienced each time we have visited. Bowlero and Fat Cats are a much better deal.

Lots of fun for people of all ages. Clean and well maintained with a variety of food options. One of the many places that does a military discount for active and veterans.

I didn't even get to take pics of the bowling, laser tag, pool, or shuffle board thingies! But we went for a special event, it was closed and we got to enjoy the place. Such an amazing staff, everyone was friendly, kind, helpful, and energetic! I mean we were greeted at the door and again when we left. The games were SO much fun and the kids loved the gravity zone (imagine being above everyone!). We will surely come back.

Paid $80 to come and play some arcade games, several games were not working and many games that appeared to be working took our points and did not work. Skee ball, cup pong and the SpongeBob coin game took our money and did not work, just to name a few. Very frustrating! The gravity ropes however, were affordable and a lot of fun. We have also enjoyed bowling here in the past. The arcade really needs some work though! Please fix the arcade!

Bowling itself is fun. BUT, disclaimer: I forgot the name, but (forgive my frank description) balding heavy set assistant manager at the bowling desk single handedly brought a pall upon the night. He was unhappy, challenging, unclear, unkind, accusatory, quick to assume, unfriendly, unforgiving, unaccommodating, and confusing. First. Update your website with accurate bowling pricing for late night happy hour. Second, be clear about what late night bowling entails. Third: to other customers. Don't forget

Great place for kids and adults. I do personally think that this place is a little more on the deep side when it comes to the prices and the food is just mediocre, but the kids had a great time.

Great spot for the over 7yr olds, lots to do. Lots of fun games for the kids. My kids love the VR games a lot. They also enjoyed the Sky Rail and bowling. I love the setup in the bowling alleys with the sitting area. The games & entertainment get 5stars. The service was also ok. From my observation they hire younger kids and some had the modern teen "manners" but nothing worse than the average teen these days. There was a tall, stocky red haired young man on the Sky Rail and he was really awesome and pati

We had an excellent time. The games , the staff, and the atmosphere were 5 stars all the way. However, the food was not! The lemon pepper wings were so salty , we tried to use the sauce to cover the salt, and then we took a napkin to wipe the salt off, but that still didn't work. We couldn't eat them . Then we got the chicken nachos, and the chicken was cold as if they took it out a can and just dropped it on the nachos. Horrible. Willie B was our server, and he was so amazing!!! We loved him. He was kind a

Just walked in for our bowling reservation. Stood in line at what appeared to be the check in. Apparently, it was a group check in. No one said anything. In fact people behind me went in front to check in while I stood there waiting for someone to help me. I finally asked if I could check in. The person at the desk said they don't work for Main Event. There were zero signs for a special event, let alone any verbiage of such. He told me to go to sales. No one was at sales. I had to search for an employee.

Ryder gave amazing service, i didn't understand how the points worked on the cards and he took his time to patiently explain them to me so i knew which one would give me the best bang for my buck!

This place is a great spot to take the family. They have bowling, laser tag, arcade, VR rooms, and a full bar and restaurant with shuffle board. It can get a little pricey but its worth it. I wish they updated their games and machines, they often break down. They also need better prizes in the prize area. They are often out of things and when you have higher point there isn't much to get for older kids.

I hate doing these reviews, but this place was a total mess. From us bowling for about two hours, and no server to stop by. We asked for a server two times and nobody came by. The two stars are for the bowling part, which we had fun, but the games don't work and the manager had to apologize and give us a refund because of how many games were not working. Not sure if it was because it's Monday or What not, but I'm not going back again unfortunately. This place looked like a place to have a great time and t

7 different machines we saw were broken and took our points or whatever. Some games didn't have the balls for it. Went into the bathroom, only one dispenser at the end had paper towel. This was the mess in the bathroom. Even with a tab open, they carded us for drinks again, which was odd, but the kid was nice, just had no clue what he was doing. The manager was trying, overheard him tell the two kids in the gift shop to get off their phones as we went in and took a look around. It's just sad to see what

The staff was awesome! The manager was so kind and helpful. Thank you to all of the main event staff the was there at 11 today (Tuesday) especially the manager at the reservation desk.

Review is not for main event or its food/activities which I am sure are fine. Review is for the "immersive experience" inside main event. We traveled 1 hour each way to get to this thing. It's a waste of time and money. We had a party of 3 and paid close to $140 for 60 minutes. For that, they put you in a room with a mixed reality headset that has some real lame content and cheesy games. You are walking around the room trying not to bump into the other 2 dozen people walking around playing these games and d

We spent hours here; it was so much fun! Monday is a great time to go because the arcade play is unlimited for a fixed price. You can buy one card, and let your kids share it. The gravity ropes and the laser tag were big hits too. It wasn't busy and we never had to wait for any games. If we lived here, we'd come regularly!

Derek was phenomenal throughout the whole experience!!! Such an amazing guy! Brought my kids here for a night out with the wife. 10/10

We had amazing service and was greeted by a manager when being sat in our lane. Ordered drinks from the amazing server and had them within a couple minutes.

My daughter and her friends have SO much going to Main Event! Patrick (one of the servers) is always smiling and friendly and does a great job!! Keep up the good work!

Since you asked for my opinion about the Verse Immersive experience. 1 out of 5. Very disappointed. Compared to the adds, the graphics were very poor. The guide mumbled and we could barely make out his instructions. We (me and one other) were very much looking forward to this experience. I honestly feel as if I just flushed $69.68 right down the toilet. I'm sorry. Feel free to refund my money. Or even only half of it. Or something. The only fun we had was playing some games after we finished the

No where to set drinks, and workers were not very clear about our party, when everyone arrived we waited in the front for a while with no seating. I would recommend another arcade for birthdays. The host of the party was quite fabulous, although the employees all together are quite young with no support or customer service per say. We paid for the bowling birthday party package, although I assumed we would enjoy bowling with party tables available. We didn't gave any party tables to set the cake down or bu

Melissa?s review - Donovan was amazing! Best bartender I've ever had. So non judgemental and made our girls night the best night we've had in a while! Also gave us some free pens and we loved it. Such a good vibe here, will definitely be back! Keila - Donovan was 1000% the best service I've ever received. He was so attentive and also so funny and fun to talk to! Definitely will be back. Anita- Donovan was a great bartender! He definitely gave great service and was very social. Love him! Will be back!

You're literally gonna spend half of your time getting credits at the ticket shack because over half of the games are broken. Nobody seems to care. Do not waste your money coming to this cash grab

We wanted to play the arcade games, but when we went to get a game card 3 of the 4 machines wouldn't work. After waiting in line for the one that worked every time you tried to type in how much money you wanted to put on the card it would type double of whatever you clicked on and you couldn't delete the extra numbers. There was an employee behind us that we told about the issue, she didn't seem surprised or offer to help in any way. When we tried to play the games at least half the games just stole the tic

This Main Event was really loud and I think it got more expensive.. we had my nephew's birthday there today but everyone had a great time even the birthday boy.. Thanks Main Event staff for ur service ??

Rhi-Rhi and the manager on duty with the amazing eyeshadow is amazing, great customer service. Definitely coming back (we came two days in a row)

We had a bday party here and it was awesome! Lena was our host and she kept us on schedule without rushing us. We all had a ton of fun!

Great place to take the family on a hot summer day. 5 stars for the entertainment 1 star for the food... I once heard a rumor this place had amazing tots but I've never seen them.

Yesterday we went over to your establishment and we had a really bad experience both of your bartenders that were there that day treated our friend very badly. She was questioned about everything like if she was a criminal. She was questioning about her US status when they needed to check her ID to make sure she was up age. We are very unhappy with the way they treated us. We were there to have a good time and not to be treated this way we will not be attending your place ever again because we think it's no

This place is a lot of fun, not just for kids but for adults too. They have arcades, game rooms, laser tag, bowling, billiards and much more. The food is great and not too pricey, the large pizza seems like it's actually a medium but overall really good. The service was above and beyond, we didn't have any issues and they're very attentive.

Love it here people are great food is great games are great bowling is great truly life changing better than any experience I could've ever have one million stars thank you Charlene ????????

Half the arcade games straight up are broken and don't work The staff were nice. However it really doesn't seem like they have anyone servicing the arcade game. 1. Subway Surfers game has a huge crack down the middle and a broken start button 2. Guitar Hero only had 1 Guitar the other is just missing 3. Drop the ball in the cup game straight up doesn't work and just takes your credits 4. Buck Hunting game took credits buck couldn't select a starting game mode because the guns didn't work 5. 2 separate air

8th Birthday party. We went all out! After the smoke cleared and $800 later it was probably the worst managed birthday party I have seen. Servers were not organized. Blowling went ok. Game cards were passed out and they all took off but the cards were empty and took 30 minutes to fix that ordeal. Food was served late and had to rush cake and presents. Party manager was clueless and did not know how to rectify the problems. Back to back bookings for room means they can't fix the hour lost from mid m

Took my nephew for a day of sugar and extreme auditory stimulation. The sound of video games and screaming children pleasantly drowned out his annoying questions about where baby?s come from. -1 star for a missing air hockey puck.

This place is pretty awesome to come to once in awhile. I say once in a while due to the price and there is only some much to do. But they are all pretty cool. The obstacle course in the air is super fun and they let adults on it. There is bowling and laser tag and then then arcades. Check the website for discounted times and days. We did a monday from 4 to 10pm for the bowling, laser, and climbing for 10$ each. Price of the overall experience could be better and that's why I gave only 4 stars. But it is co

Very pricey, a lot of staff for no one to know prices, manager was rude she did not even look at me when I had a question. Will NOT go back to this location.

I was impressed by Management and team member commitment to COVID-19 mitigation measures. Nearly everyone in the building wore masks and staff were cleaning around the clock. I will be returning again with my family.

Our family had a great time at Main Event! Patrick our server was incredible! Thank you!

Well, let's just say the this place is not cheap. If you're going to pay for more than one person, you might break your monthly budget. However, the kids and I had a blast. Please main event, lower your prices just a not, especially the arcade.... Almost $2 per game. Not very family friendly.

Madalynn was such a delight from the moment we walked in the door. She was helpful and friendly. Great choice for first impression representation.

We had our holiday party here for our company. The food was decent, Mexican style food, but it was nothing special. Food wasn't seasoned properly and just bland. We were looking forward to the games and over half of them were out of service or completely broken!!! Definitely wouldn't recommend it for anyone else wanting a party here

What a fun day we had. It was our first time, and we did bowling, the ropes course, and then laser tag a out 5 times. We were worn tired by the end of the day, but the children had a blast!

I don't know about you but I think this needs to be a dance floor. What's the point of having two restaurants and especially if it closes early!?! Maybe this area can be a dance area when restaurant is closed.

Had a birthday party for our teen son and several of his friends. Did the teen party package and they lived it. The bowling was great, they loved the laser tag and rope course. The food was even great and in much bigger quantities than I would have imagined.

It's fun. Service can be hard to get and it's definitely hard to hear when communicating with staff, but overall it's fun for the kids and we enjoy our visits.

We paid for the 200 points. Guitar hero only had one controller, Big buck took our points but wasn't working, 3 out of the 5 foos ball machines took our credits but didn't dispense the ball, one of the motorcycle games wouldn't steer left, the subway surfers "continue" button wouldn't work so you couldn't enter more points to keep your score going, and our first air hockey game took our points but didn't dispense the puck, and Terminator was running at like 5 FPS. There was more but it was enough to drain 4

Tammy White - State Farm office reward event! We had a great time bowling, laser tag, yummy food and playing games! Good service and facility was clean and had sanitation stations at all events?. We had a great time and will for sure be back!

I have visited a few times and every time, about half the arcade machines we used were broken. The controls for the rails in the bowling lanes never work and the rails always have to be manually moved by an employee.

BE WARNED, Apparently they stop selling passes at 12:30am although they dont close till 2am. I attempted to go bowling at 12:45am. Dont recall this on the website, called prior and was told they had lanes open... So I had beer. (Stars for the bartenders!) Reason given- They needed the time because they had to clean the lanes...... People bowling still, all the way to close.

Bowling is fine, but so many of the games are just broken. Ticket claw game didn't give tickets that were collected by the claw. Half of the basketball games were messed up for one reason or another. The air hockey games had physical damage on the playfield. Several games were out of order and thankfully marked such, but so many games had problems and were still on eating credits. So sad to see this. The tech on duty was working his tail off, but no way he can keep up..

I want to share my recent experience at Gilbert Main Event as it is a testimony to customer service, second chances, and making it right. We came in 2 years ago had a not so pleasant experience for a birthday party with over 20 guests. I won't go into details because it is besides the point. I spoke with Amy one of their staff and was asked to give them a second chance. I have waited on this review until we decided to take her up on the offer. We tried again, same birthday girl, same guests, completely diff

Great place for entertaining the whole family, but arcades are expensive!

I had an absolutely fantastic time at Main Event! The bowling experience was top-notch?lively atmosphere, well-maintained lanes, and fun, modern scoring systems that kept us entertained throughout. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a great game. Beyond bowling, Main Event offered a variety of other activities and games, adding to the overall fun of the outing. The food was surprisingly delicious, and the drinks were perfect for keeping the energy up. Whether yo

SUCKS! Took away unlimited arcade games and told their employees to act clueless acting like no one would notice. Greed doesn't pay off. Thanks main event for making me a new fatcats customer.
