Main Event isn’t just a place for fun—it’s an experience from start to finish. While the arcade, bowling, and pool hall are all top-tier, the real surprise is the food. I’ve come here just to eat at the bar, and it never disappoints. The menu is unexpectedly impressive, with dishes that are flavorful and satisfying. The drinks are exactly what you order—strong, well-made, and worth every penny. Pair that with great customer service and an atmosphere that’s both lively and laid-back (especially in the adult section), and you’ve got a spot that’s more than just entertainment—it’s a go-to hangout. I’ll absolutely be back.

I went to Main Event Knoxville last night to join up with my girlfriend and her 10 year old daughter who were having a fun night playing games etc. I arrived and joined up finding them enjoying a virtual reality game together. I enjoyed watching them in VR world and they enjoyed it, however their experience was cut short due to a mechanical error in the motion part/experience that was supposed to provide to them the ultimate play experience by moving around on the VR ride while playing the game they were seeing thru VR. They were cool with it, but I grabbed my girlfriend’s card and decided to speak with Management about the VR Ride. In me doing this wasn’t to complain necessarily, but to help them in providing a quality experience for anyone else moving forward who might use credits to try to enjoy this experience in VR. This is when I had the ultimate please of speaking with Josh! His EXCELLENT customer service in listening on how I wanted to help by letting him know that my GF and daughter enjoyed their experience but felt a tad bit cut short by missing the motion experience on the ride. He immediately directed me to customer support in a very courteous and professional way showing empathy that made me feel like I had a since of belong for the evening at Main Event. The credit was handled and we enjoyed the remainder of the evening and MOST CERTAINLY will return . In a very important aspect that is overlooked at many business establishments…customer service, the warm welcoming and being treated with just a feeling that we mattered meant eons. JOSH CARED about our concerns, checked back to ensure we were having a good time, and even said goodbye and THANK YOU and looked forward to seeing us again. I just wanted to share this and say THANK YOU JOSH and the staff at Main Event Knoxville for making our experience wonderful!

Great place for kids and adults to have fun, get loud, and have a good time! Food is really good, and the atmosphere is laid back, but it can get busy at times. Definitely recommend 👌
