Eat. Drink. Play. Watch.

Last Wednesday was one for the history books! Dave & Buster's has opened a new location in Fresno, opening  their doors to our community yesterday in The Village at River Park. The 30,000 square foot destination is Fresno’s first Dave & Buster’s location & the 10th in California has an occupancy of 1,400 people, a state of the art sports bar, delicious food and drinks and the latest and greatest arcade games.  Dave & Buster's has hit a home run with their new location here in Fresno while also bringing an additional 220 new jobs to Fresno.



Wednesday afternoon I attended the Dave & Buster's media day and had an opportunity to see the facility inside and out. As you walk in the front doors the sports bar and restaurant is front and center. 

 

This sports bar looks like it belongs in Vegas! Sports enthusiasts will find any and all sports available at Dave & Buster's bar.

Dave & Buster's also pride themselves on showcasing local teams; recognizing Fresno with special pictures throughout the bar and restaurant area. 

 

 


In addition, Dave & Buster's has a FREE app download called Tunity. This app allows you to scan any muted live TV and stream it to your audio device of choice. Along with the massive HDTVS, stadium sound and game day specials – Dave & Buster's have some delicious signature cocktails – and believe me, they are delicious!
 


Here are a few of my favorites:


Passion Fruit Mega Mojito


Sailors Spiked Root Beer. (I don't like Root Beerbut enjoyed this cocktail!)


Coronits

In addition Dave & Buster's  NOT ONE BUT TWO  HAPPY HOURS!
Happy Hour (Mon – Fri 4:30 – 7pm) & Late Night Happy Hour (Sun – Thurs 9pm – close):
• 1/2 Price Cocktails, $2.50 domestic pints, $1 off 22 oz drafts, $1 off glasses of wine & $3 off bottles of wine
– Thursday/Sunday/Monday Fall Football Game Day Specials (10/20/17 – 2/5/17)
• $3.50 22 oz Select Draft Beers & $5 Game Day Appetizers

– 2 For Tuesdays: $2 Tacos, $2 Select Beers/Margaritas & 2 Free Plays with $10 Power Card purchase/re-charge (All Day)
– 1⁄2 Price Games Wednesday: All games are 1⁄2 Half Price (All Day)

 

As important as cocktails are...Dave & Buster's food  pairs perfectly with any drink.
 The selection began with salads and covered everything in between all the way to dessert.
 During the day I sampled several items from the menu; then returning that evening to have dinner in the sports bar area and tried some other items.

 Fives All Around

 The Hottie

 The Ultimate Mac N Cheese

 Buffalo Wing Burger

 The Lawnmower

The Caveman Combo

Like all meals, it would not be complete without dessert. During the day I sampled Dave & Buster's chocolate cake and Banana Fosters. The Banana Fosters was to DIE for,  I could have eaten it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.


The arcade area is the final piece to the puzzle and will not disappoint anyone as Dave & Buster's takes great pride in having 140 of the latest and greatest arcade games as well as still showcasing  the “oldies but goodies” on the floor. In addition, Dave & Buster's takes the air hockey game to the next level with a crazier than ever 4 person game! It was so much fun......


To a life size Connect 4...

The arcade games are continually updated as they add 10 new games each year.

To wrap up the experience, the staff was knowledgeable, kind and energetic about their work and provided an experience I will never forget. Thank you to Jeff, General Manager for his time and effort in making my first experience with Dave & Buster's one I will never forget.









Thank you to Dave & Buster's for an unforgettable experience!
