Dave and Buster's

[Faith]

I seen a commercial the other day advertising a Dave and Busters here in Oklahoma. I didn't know that we had one now. Does anyone know where it is at? I have been to one in San Antonio and had a great time. It is like an Adults Incredible Pizza. I checked their website and didn't see anything about an Oklahoma location....

[Faith]

I'm beginning to think maybe it was just a dream now...... I have looked on the net and can't find anything referencing a Dave and Busters in Oklahoma.

[gbyte]

I saw the commercial also but was wondering if they were advertising for some state that is neighboring for some reason. I have been to the one in San Jose and it can be fun.

[metro]

I saw the commercial too. More than likely it was a part of a regional buy and probably advertising for one of the locations in Dallas. They are franchise owned so get some investors together and we can have our own here.

Hint: Do not look to Randy Hogan to be one of your investors. lol.

Dave and Busters is opening a new location in Tulsa. You can go to Tulsaworld.com and search for dave and busters and it will advise you.

Tulsa World: Week in review: Dave & Buster's coming to town

Week in review: Dave & Buster's coming to town

Dave & Buster's Inc., a Dallas-based restaurant chain known for its entertainment options, is planning a Tulsa location.

The Tulsa World learned that the company has purchased three acres of land at 71st Street and 101st East Avenue, between Best Buy Co. and Mathis Brothers Furniture.

A company spokesman said in a telephone interview that a Dave & Buster's restaurant will be built in Tulsa, with a tentative opening date next January, but would offer no other details.

Each Dave & Buster's location features American-style food, adult beverages and entertainment choices such as video games, billiards, air hockey, virtual reality games and sports simulators.

Comment: Sad that Tulsa is able to land this, but OKC cannot.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

Grrrrr...I wish they'd have bought out Toby Keith's joint and put it there.

[Pete]

I fear if they do come to OKC it will be to the Quail Springs area, which is more of their m.o.

However, they would be a good anchor for more development in or around Bricktown.

[Turanacus]

I spoke to Dave this morning and he said they are actively trying to acquire land currently occupied by the <former> Fox Collision Center. I rang Buster to see if he'd confirm but got his voice mail. I'll post again should Buster return my call.

When you've got him on the phone, tell him to bring back the bacon wrapped BBQ shrimp kabobs.

LOL /sigh

I think Bricktown is the best place for them in OKC. Pete your comment on Quail Springs is probably right, I would except that UNP in Norman would be another. However, both locations effectively kill off customers from half the Metro.

As most everyone knows. After 16 years. Norman has a Main Event planned which is owned by dave and busters. Now we just need a dave and busters on the south side. Maybe along the east west connector

[MestaParkMan]

I wants a Dave and Busters! It is like Chuckie Cheese for adults with beer! I can play Galaga for hours and sip on Bass. Good times.

[Jesseda]

count me in on dave and busters, I live in moore and will drive o the north side to go to that place, just build it in he okc metro and i will come..Message o dave and busters ( If you build it we will come)

[venture]

Umm...if it is on Memorial on the North side...I'm not paying $4/gal of gas to go there from SE Norman.

New developments on D&B from Steve in today's paper.

Dave & Buster's, a popular entertainment and restaurant chain, is seeking zoning to serve alcohol at a new Oklahoma City restaurant.

The agenda for Thursday's meeting of the Oklahoma City Planning Commissions shows a new Dave & Buster's is to be built at 5501 N May Ave., the former site of Smicklas Chevrolet. A site plan shows pads reserved for two more restaurants and a hotel in the block bounded by May Avenue, Northwest Expressway, NW 52 and N Brookline Avenue.

GREAT Location!!! I hope the format is more full-scale as oppose to Tulsa's junior store.

See the other thread in Metro Area Talk, OKC's will be about 6,000 sq. feet bigger than Tulsa's.

Bummer it's not in Bricktown, but for D&B, I think this was the smart move. Right in the middle of several hotels and aside from Hooters, they're the only thing to do.

[Decious]

Coolio! However, I wish that Steve's attempts to communicate with company reps had been answered. I want to know whether this will be a "full scale" D&B or the "smaller market" version a la Omaha/Tulsa. If I recall correctly, the smaller versions don't even have pool tables. I'm inclined to think that the OKC site will be full scale given that it seems to be new construction. I believe that smaller formats are molded into strip centers, but I could be mistaken. Should be a great addition to the Penn area, but like Mid, I wish they had built downtown.

I don't know about the Omaha location but I can tell you that the Tulsa location is a new construction stand alone building. Aloft hotels built right behind D&B's.

[wsucougz]

I like the location.
