Main Event Newark

It’s was very they forgot about us when it was time to go bowling. So their customers on that level was horrible we had to wait 1 hr and few minutes for them to clean the lane…

I had my son’s birthday party at Main Event and it was amazing. Our party host and check in team went above and beyond to make sure he had the best party! Shout out to Lisa for making us feel so special!

We had a teen party at Main Event on 2/25. Our party planner, Lisa was amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure our party was awesome. She made sure our birthday teen was having a blast. She truly cares. We would go back just to see Lisa. Request her if you are having a party. A true gem who cares about the kids’ happiness.

love this place! has a huge variety of arcade games bowling laser tag & more! food was very good along with the great customer service from every associate. loved the bar/dinning area almost as much as all the arcade games! 😊 pretty decent pricing on package deals for game card credits.

Perfect place to hangout with friends or family and kids for a bowling night or some arcade. Bowling alleys are very well maintained and the lights are great. They have lot of arcade games and are priced okay. Kids will love the VR section and the climb. Laser tag and Snooker are available too.

GREAT fun!! Had my 5yo nieces birthday party here. Manager and staff were super helpful, especially Ms. Lisa who greeted and took care of us. Kids loved bowling and arcade games. We all ate pizza, wings, pretzels, cake. Delicious! Everyone had tons of fun and ate well. Would definitely have a kids birthday party here!!

Amazing party event center, the children as well as the adults loved it. The food was hot and delicious. It’s plenty for the whole family to do.

Met a phenomenal employee by the name of Lisa. Very pleasant to speak with and very helpful. Felt like I was speaking with a family member. To be honest, the food is just OK at best, but it's good staff members like Lisa that create a memorable experience for guests like me. Thanks Lisa!

Had my daughters 16th birthday at main event & Lisa was a big help in her and her girlfriends having a blast. God bless her and I can't say enough about her spirit & love for children.
Thanks again Lisa!

Main Event is a fantastic family game complex that is great for a birthday party or maybe just a fun time out. Bowling, laser tag and gravity climbing are a few activities kids and adults can enjoy. There's a huge arcade floor to keep everyone busy, Winners Choice to cash in on game victories, a food counter with lots of delicious food and drink choices. Adults can enjoy a cocktail, cold beer and sports on the big screen at a widespread bar. We were there for a kid birthday party and our dedicated host made the frenzied pace workable and enjoyable. Tip these young people well!! They work hard to make sure a great time is had by all and they deserve it! We will definitely be returning at some point.

Good food and prices 40 bucks for a combo Pizza pie, salad, breadsticks, and wings. 8 dollar drinks. Kids had a great time and very cost efficient! Better than D&B (service credit goes to the bartender he saved the day black male).

Bathroom's should be cleaned up a little bit more! But other than that the kids had a ball! 😁

Great gaming complex. Plenty of parking. Has everything from bowling to arcade games. Also has a restaurant in the center. The bowling was 25$ish with an additional 4.5$ish for shoe rental. You can get a new card for 3$ and add cash to it to use the machines. Will definitely go back.

Drinks were good. Games were good. When understanding the credit system a lot of the games are like 7.5 credits to play. You get a game card from a machine unless you order a meal that includes a game card with it. Some of those deals are crazy good. Like a $33 entree but u get a $30 game card making the food $3. That is a good deal. My girl wanted to stop here on our 3.5 hour trip home from ocmd for her birthday. It was a good decision.

I was so impressed by this place. They were friendly, and I mean multiple people were friendly, the employees listened, and my wife and I brought along 7 kids and had all kinds of requests, all sorts of problems, and lots of things that should have made them roll their collective eyes and say “that’s not my problem” but they didn’t. The employees listed, were helpful, and went out of their way to make us feel valued. That takes a business who bakes that sort of thing into their culture. Bravo.

Rented the venue from 10-5 on a Saturday for an 800 person company event. Everything was perfect from the food and service to the details of the decorations. The event planning team as well as the rest of the staff did a great job. Will definitely book future company-wide events there.

Had my son’s birthday party here and he enjoyed himself. The staff were very accomodating. Ms. Lisa was a great party host!

The place is great! Great food, good amount of games, bowling, laser tag and a gravity line! Come on a Monday if you want to play almost every game for as long as you want for $10.95. However, it's $18.95 if you want unlimited games and bowling, but it's still lots of fun either way!

I cant say enough nice things about this place. We had my sons 10th birthday here today and every staff member was exceptional. Two children in the party have autism spectrum disorder and they were more than accommodating. Everyone made sure the kids could participate to their ability and offered to step in and help when needed to ensure an enjoyable experience. Special thanks to our party hosts and the gentlemen working the gravity ropes. food was great, everything was clean and worth the price. We will be back. Highly recommend

An awesome environment, full of games, great food, and memorable experiences. The management team is very professional. All of the workers make it a really cool place to hang out. It's very kid friendly and there's a great bar with really nice servers. It's the kind of place you want to keep coming back to.
