We had a blast at The Main Event Montclair.Our hostess MJ was very attentive and professional. She worked very hard to make sure we had everything we needed the entire time. We had about 30 people in our party, and everyone was happy. The bowling lanes have enough room for everyone to be able to participate. The arcade is huge and has lots of different games to accommodate everyone’s liking. Super clean too! Food was good, customer service is great, they also have a fully stocked bar with several TV’s on every wall. Thank you so much for having us. We’ll definitely be back. If you’re having a party, this should be your go to.
