Dave & Buster's

You know what Times Square needs? It needs more winning. More Arcade first dates with virtual reality zombie kills. More Strawberry Watermelon Margarita cocktails at happy hour with coworkers. More New York Jets touchdown dances on absurdly large TV screens every gameday...

Signature spot to be a kid again! This is a great location in Times Square. Can get crazily crowded but still fun. Go to the attached bar afterwards, they serve super chilled beer & tasty margaritas  

Douglas Elliman

The perfect place to bond- a classic arcade with the best games (new and old)! We love the sports-bar-style setting and American food . We all had a very intense match of Dance Dance Revolution.

J Crowley

You can totally life-hack the game Blast Off. Cover the lights with your arm + stand real close. When the "8" lights up, press the button to perfectly nail the JACKPOT for a minimum of 250 tickets!

Xiomara Tamara

Love D&B! The Times Square location is clutch. In the middle of NYC, what more could you ask for………games, food, happy hour M-F 4:30- 7pm…. dreams can come true

Maria B

I just love this place! The drinks are super amazing, the bartenders are nice and fast and also the GAAAAMES!!!! P.S.try the coconut lime margarita

Clarence Mason

Very fun place! Loved the games. 4 person air hockey is the best! The food and beer was good too. All Star Weekend was great in D&B.

Raul Rodriguez

Try the strawberry sangria..tastes so good and you can even eat the frozen strawberry ice cubes it comes with..cant forget the mountain o nachos..that stuff is amazing lol

imbookin

Located in the center of Times Square D&B is great for bday parties, corp events , holidays, & more. The games are kid-friendly, but kick it up a notch to an adults-only level with their full bar . #fun

Justin Gianninoto

So much fun! Come Wednesdays for $10 unlimited hour arcade play. Half price weekday games too. Just watch out for the bartenders - very rude!

imbookin

Events should be fun.D&B can help you host the perfect event so everyone can let loose. Ask about private rooms, business meetings , team-building activities and chef-crafted menus.

Enjoy it tons my kids love it.

Daan V.

Pretty cool arcade hall and a perfect destination to kill an hour before you're off to your next adventure. Use the game tickets you won to buy yourself a souvenir or give them to the kids.

Redscroll

Air Hockey . Great table here. Honestly, as good as any I have played on and as big as they get so no worries about crossing that center line . Play fast and loose but try not to let it fly off.

AJ Mentaiko

Excellent air hockey . Sugary drinks with gimmicks like glow in the dark ice cubes. Food is awful but I promise you'll have a good time.

Karen

So many games to play. Collect tickets. Redeem for fun prizes. And the food here is excellent!

Sean Smith

I love playing the Star Wars arcade game here. Jurassic Park is also incredibly fun.

Elizabeth Russell

Luv playing the games besides eating their delicious food selection. It's cheaper to get the eat & play combos????

Adiat Disu

Carefree spot for a date. However, dominate your date by winning all games. Remember no mercy! Use your winnings & purchase a gift for your date at the store. It may heal your date's wounded pride : )

Tom

In the heart of Time Square. Fun but often crowded .

Sabrina Porter

Nice family arcade . DDR machine is always busted due to not being properly maintained but people try to play it anyway. The machine doesn't accurately pick up the arrow sensors when stepped on.

Sean Carr

Dave & Buster's is the best place to kick back and release you inner kid but with a full bar ! Dave & Buster's Time Square Rocks!

Vex DeVile

Games and booze, what's not to love? Best day to go is Wednesday, more bang for your buck

Ben Gasparini

Fun place, be a kid again those were the days. Watch out for them when you are drinking heavily though.

Ms Helene

Came here for a function. Usual bar food. Cheesy spinach dip good but stale corn chips . Oh well happy hour till 7.30 on long cocktail list .

Andrew C

food is delicious but oh so unhealthy... games are bleeh, other arcades / D&B locations have better options!!!

Greg Solomon

Came for a large birthday and they basically said ‘too bad’ to seating any of us, including one person in a wheelchair - yet we see people who obviously don’t have reservations getting seated.

Henry Hardy II

The attendants are THEE BEST, the food is great, the game techs are polite and responsive, and the payout on games are tremendous!! Awesome staff all around!!

Shlomo Isaacson

Always have a great time with friends at this location they got great games !!!

Stephanie Friedman

Drinks are expensive when it isn't happy hour but they are worth it. The drinks taste really good and are actually quite strong. Just remember that they charge an automatic 18% gratuity .

Lizzy

You can drop a lot of money in this place very easily. It's also always overcrowded. The food is yummy, but the wait for a table is outrageous.

Justin Blose

The Buffalo wing burger was on point. Felt like a kid again playing skeeball .

Karina Enciso

The food is unbelievable good! Try the buffalo chicks and the sirloin teriyaki !

Alice Eunjin

I love it here. Try the new candy crush game. On half price Wednesdays!

Elaine He

First time came here, takes me some time to get used to the speed here lol...yet I enjoyed myself with the spinning machine haha

Chantele Bond

Very crowded but still enjoyable.Avoid Saturday night. The freak do come out at night.

Larry

On Saturdays, come before 5 pm to avoid the crowds.

drew tarvin

They have tons of games, but in my mind, the only game worth playing is Time Crisis 2.

Frank Brown

Combo with game play is a pretty good deal .

Tea ®ogers

No more Philly cheese steak egg rolls . 18% automatic gratuity for a rude server. $5 cover charge for games I won't play. Thanks for reminding me of why I stopped coming!!

Aaron Pelster

Stay clear, my wife and I thought it be fun for a last night dinner in NYC. We walked in no one noticed we looked around for someone to seat us. We went to Applebee's downstairs instead.

Marissa Stuart

arcades as an adult are the best. however don't expect to get anything good as a prize.

Kofi Mills

I don't mind the included gratuity ; the staff totally deserves it. Besides, you gotta have a plan for tourists and/or people who can't do math drunk. ;-)

Kat S.

One of the few places where it's socially acceptable to throw back a few drinks and dominate little kids in arcade games . See me son!

dara lynne

Be sure to tell staff if your machine is out of tickets. You'll wind up getting WAY more than you expect. ;)

Ana Rivera

Had a great time ????????

Chand Moon

The coin machines cheat u. They never fall. Lol but lots of other cool games. Love deal or no deal

marc calamia

Games, beer and food all in one place in Manhattan.

Karina Enciso

Buffalo wings and burgers are great

Victor

Half off on Wednesdays!!

Jay Fernandez

Great place to have drinks n watch games... Has 18% gratuity but it's times square people.. Wanna b cheap go to Mcdonalds!!!
