Dave and Buster's

Ahhh so. Thanks for the heads up!

I've got a great view of D&B. The place looked packed tonight. By the way, I like the look of the place - especially at night, looks really inviting from my bird's-eye view.

Post a pic from your birds eye view.

That just means you live in Founders Tower or the SE facing side of Lakeview Tower... either those or you live in a hotel

And another plus is you have to be an adult to come in on your own! So no annoying high school kids or a clan of little squirts running around like at Celebration Station....unless they are accompanied by their parents.

Now if only they did laser tag too!

It depends. Are they classifying 18 as an adult? If so, annoying high school students could still be running around there.

Friend of mine went with his 20 year old son last night and said it was kind of oppressive and weird. He asked his waitress where the restrooms were and she said "I'll show you where they are", but after a few steps, one of the bouncer-type/security guys said "I'll take it from here, I'll escort you to them". WTF, a 50+ year old guy needs escorting to the bathroom? His son had a baseball cap on with the brim a bit sideways, so one of the guys told him he had to wear it with the brim either straight forwards or backwards, so he went backwards. Another guy told him he can't wear it backwards, it has to be forwards (get your policies straight and consistent, dudes). Main dining area tables were full, so they were directed to the bar area by one of the guys, then when they were ready to sit down, they were told that the son can't be in the bar area because he's under 21 (that's not due to D&B, though, it's due to the OK liquor laws). My friend said there were tons of cameras everywhere, food was mediocre, and it was unbelievably loud. He's not really their target demographic, his son is, so his view is understandable, but that's just odd about all the security guys and policies, not sure if it's because it just opened or if that's the way it will be. I've been to a D&B in IL and it was nothing like that.

Well, that's good. I don't want a complainer like that there either, lol.

Went on Saturday night around 10. It was PACKED and hard to find a parking spot. Had to park in jack in the box. It was more condensed and compacted than other ones I had been to. I am glad they completely separated the food/bar and game areas. Used to see some close calls in Houston with people bringing out food. The only thing I would suggest is more beer stands throughout. There was was one from what I saw, plus the bar, which was a long wait. Food was good (for what it was) and staff was friendly and helpful. Won over 3000 tickets on wheel of fortune. Only 62000 more for that xbox.

LOL...This^^

Thanks for the Monday laugh!

I couple of friends and I went to D&B's a little earlier this evening. Walked in and saw all the "teenyboppers" and young kids. We turned around and walked out.

Have any other "adults" been there, that would care to "review" this business?

Dave & Buster's is getting a refresh to the exterior and the bar and dining areas.

Hard to believe it's been open more than 10 years.

[OKCisOK4me]

And I've still never been. Maybe one of these days...

It is hard to believe that it has also been 10 years since someone posted in this thread.

[Richard at Remax]

Shows how far we have come. It was a big deal when it got here, now not even on my radar anymore. Esp with Main Event so close to me.

And people talked about it so hard at the start of this thread. It became old news real fast once it opened. It just gets referenced when another entertainment venue opens or another 'we don't have this" discussion pops up.

I feel we fall into this a lot on this site and in this city. If we don't have it then it must be cool. Once we have it, it's not cool anymore.

It's the old Groucho Marx idea of I don't want to be a member of a club that would have me as a member...or something like that.

If you haven't been yet, you might also enjoy Andy B's. Similar to Main Event in some ways, but a much smaller scale. I enjoyed it both with kids and separately with an after work group of adults.

It's exactly the same everywhere else.

I've often told the story of people lining up around the block when Dunkin Donuts opened in L.A. And everyone there desperately wanted Waffle House. I don't think I've ever been to either one of those places.

Yeah, I've talked to people who don't have Sonic or Braum's where they live and they desperately want one. I'm like, "why?"

Remember back in the 80s and 90s when Dunkin Donuts was a decent cup of Joe at a reasonable price? Now they're all fancy and whatnot. They went from Dunkin' Donuts to Dunkin. Now it's Dnkn. By 2030 it'll just be D.

DD is nothing but a name of its former self. Once they quit baking on site they lost me

I can imagine the low brow shock value advertising campaign.

DD was an almost daily stop when going to NW Classen. Donuts and a coke. Then the one on 39th for many years was a twice a week or so stop on the way to work. I miss the old DD dearly.

Dunkin's sausage/egg/cheese croissant is one of the best fast-food breakfast sandwiches out there, and it's available all day, we get it every few months.

Krispy Kreme was also the same when it first came here. Prior to that everyone was making trips to Texas to bring back their goods. I remember church groups going in bulk to Texas to bring back Krispy Kreme donuts for their congregations. Now only 1 store remains in the OKC area and it's not near as popular here in OKC as it once was.

Regarding Dave and Busters, we still enjoy going there. It's a little different than Main Event. They have a larger arcade game section since that's mostly the whole place. Main Event has a smaller arcade area but also has a bowling alley. Andy B's focuses even more on bowling and has a very very small arcade.
