Main Event on 96th

This is our go to spot! We love this place and typically go just about every week. The drink specials are great and the food is amazing! We have yet to get something and not love it, I usually struggle deciding what I want. The servers are friendly and are on top of things. The new owners have really turned the place around in the last year or so. We definitely will be continuing our tradition of coming here every week!

I was shocked to see a 4 star rating before I walked into Main Event. Last time I came to this bar was about 8 months ago and it was a total dump. But this place seems to be taking a turn for the better and I’m more than happy to toss in a 4 star.
The entire place was clean, the staff was friendly, and the laid back environment was what my friends and I like. There are two billiards tables, two dart boards, and some video games too. I can picture the space getting a little tight if the place was packed, but the time and day I went, it was pretty empty.
There are bars on both sides, but only taps on one side. The only major draw back of this place for me was that there’s still smoking allowed since the property is outside of Indianapolis and Marion County. The smoke doesn’t bother me, but I know I won’t be able to get my girlfriend to come here because of it and I’m sure that’s what will keep others away as well.
I’ve never ordered food here and I’m sure it will be a while before I do, but the big plus for me were the drink specials. This place has College Town cheap specials, which is HUGE when all I want is to play a few games of pool and hav a few drinks. I paid $ 3 for a 32 ounce mug, and right down the street just an hour before I paid $ 5 at Bubba’s.
If you don’t mind the smoke and you’re looking for a cheap place to drink to hangout, this place is a go to. There’s room for improvement here, but they seem to have come a long way from just a year ago

After I wrote my review on this bar. The owner reached out to me and invited me back. He apologized for what had happend with the service and assured it will never happen again. I was very impressed with how professional and kind he was to me. Great owner, and I will be back thanks to Steve

I’ve been here a few times so far, and haven’t been upset yet. Yes they still allow smoking, but they have the filter fans and open space that keeps it from getting overwhelming. It has a great selection of local beers, and the prices are great. The beers are cold, the drinks are good, the bartenders are friendly, and the wings are AWESOME!
