Wouldn't be an issue if it was a temporary thing, but this situation has been going on for a few years now. Hot as hell inside. Fans everywhere. No A/C, so on a 95 degree day it's about the same inside. Wish this wasn't the only one in the Denver area. Worth driving up to Westminster or down to CO Springs if you're going to be spending a day playing games. This location needs to be renovated in the worst way. read more

Dave & Buster's Denver - American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I have been coming to D&B since it opened. I have enjoyed playing the ticket games over the years but most of the games I have mastered are gone. I have accumulated over 52k in tickets, so probably enough to get a coffee mug and vampire teeth for all 600+ Yelptastic friends. :) My latest game is the Wizard of Oz, which is one of those coin pushing games where it always appears that 50 coins are hanging on for dear life! I have completed a few sets of the cards and have 3 more sets that are missing Dorthy and the Wicked Witch! lol The other games are fun as well: Deal or no Deal, Wheel of Fortune, pop-shot, giant Pac Man. I just remembered a crazy night after an Avalanche win spending like 40k tickets on a 6ft Tweedy Bird and putting it in the backseat of a convertible Saab. Random, I know. I think we left it at Breakfast King, which is gone now. D&B also has good food and a few different areas to catch the big game on medium sized screens to ginormous sized screens. A big bonus is that a movie theater is right next door if you still have energy. I do miss the pool tables from many years ago but if they are not profitable then C'est-la-vie! The only bad part is that the parking is confusing. There's some parking near D&B but if that is full you may need to use the garage. Hopefully, you enjoy it too! read more

1st off our server was SO NICE. I was having trouble deciding on a drink and he was so patient. Our food came out fasttt , which was good since I was so hungry lol. There was a gas playing and naturally Dave and busters is really loud but it wasn't unbearable! We sat in the dining room. The nachos were just ok but everything else really good! read more

We had a date night at Dave & Busters and came to play games! We purchased a smaller gaming package and we still were able to get several games in for an hour or so of play. There were a lot of fun game options for the night and the crowd was fun. The only downfall is that several of the games were broke or malfunctioned. However the attendances were very responsive and gave us back our money for the play. read more

Not sure why the ratings at this location are so bad. I've honestly never had a bad experience here besides a few broken games and wrong ticket payouts. Overall, the food is decent, and the game selection is great with more than your average D & B. I would come here after work all the time since they are open pretty late. read more

To begin, let's differentiate between food and the experience. We arrived on a Tuesday or Wednesday - which meant all arcades games were half off. Yay! Unfortunately, we just missed the $5 (I believe it's $5) drink specials. Drinks have to be in the system to qualify. The food was very so-so. We ordered nachos, wings, burgers, and a steak and potato situation. For drinks: Long Island Ice Tea, Margaritas, and a Henny something or other. They do offer (what some would consider top shelf liquor) but it comes at a steep premium. Service was friendly and accommodating. The building was buzzing with teens, couples, and families. All the games we tried were fully functional, and for a half off deal we played for several hours (3 adults 2 children) at a reasonable price. We had a ball. Total experience: 4.3 read more

We had a lot of fun here with our friends. The good was good - we got wings cedar salad with chicken and fries. And some delicious cocktails. We did the eat and play deals which is pretty cool and saves some money. We went around and played some games, and this is where my only complaint would be. There were so many games with glitches while we played, or that simply didn't work at all, or where 3 out of 4 of us could play but one would fail. Basically needs a little TLC on the overall maintenance of the game area. But the place itself is clean and the people are all very nice and hardworking. I would definitely come back because we still had a really good time! read more

It has been years since we came to the Dave and Buster's in Denver. We came on this occasion to watch the Denver Nuggets game in what we were hoping would be a watch-party like atmosphere. After asking the staff if they would have the game with sound on, they didn't hesitate to approach management about it, which we really appreciated. We were told that they would have the game on with sound since we requested it! They don't necessarily do this until the later rounds of the playoffs, so we were very grateful. Although it ended up being only a handful of people around us that were invested in the game, we really enjoyed watching it there. The food was surprisingly good. We did a eat and play combo, which is a fantastic deal compared to just paying the listed menu prices. We opted for the all-American smashed burger with upgraded GPT fries. The burger was cooked beautifully and the fries were delicious. Then for dessert we had the funnel cake fries which were great as well, especially the caramel sauce. We only played a few games in the play area, opting to come back on a Wednesday for 1/2 price games. Overall Dave and Buster's for the win! read more

I didn't get any food or drinks while I was here, so I can't speak on that, but I will say I was considering doing so but the prices were higher than I would want them do be which is the main reason I didn't order anything. The employees I interacted with were kind but definitely didn't really go out of their way to provide good service, and it seemed like they were more interested in upselling us than helping us find what we're looking for. This place is huge and has all kinds of games and activities so its very fun, but it was pretty messy and it didn't seem like employees were paying much attention to cleaning up after guests throughout the night. The prizes weren't great but the games were fun, this would be a good place to go to with young kids but even adults can most definitely have a good time. Main complaint is everything is overpriced but that's what you can expect from an arcade. read more

Dave & Buster's Denver - Arcade area - American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Overall: Was okay. Only came here as an impromptu activity. Fun for adults - just don't buy too many credits if this is not a regular thing for you. Arcade games: LOTS of arcade games to play. However, I noticed about 10-15% of the arcade games were completely out of order and another ~5% did not function as they should (i.e. too many or too little skee balls). Was surprised they didn't have pac man. Play credits & redemption: Recommended amount was a little too many for us as adults - spent $53 for two. We were done after a little more than an hour and we had to take 40 minutes to burn the remaining credits. Then, 15 minutes to choose our ticket prize and check out. Service: Average. Friendly and professional at the front desk, ticket redemption area, and the bar. Personal note: This is a me thing since I'm used to grocery stores offering hand sanitizer. However, for a high contact place, there were no hand sanitizers to be found throughout. Yes, there are bathrooms which I used twice but it felt gross in between. Bring your own hand sanitizer. read more

Review Update Dave & Buster's is always a fun time! The food is good (big fan of the pretzel sticks), the games are fun and the atmosphere always lively. It's great to see how popular D&B is, despite some negative reviews. The menu offers the classic bar food as well as substantial meals, the games are a blast, whether you're into old-school classics or newer arcade experiences.... it's just a great spot for all ages. Our success of the night, my son FINALLY caught the elusive Peanut Butter and Jelly card off the Minions game! Unicorn found! Yes, D&B's can get a bit crowded at times, but that just goes to show how many people enjoy coming here. For a fun night out with friends or family, Dave & Buster's delivers every time! read more

Place feels like it has no air conditioning and you will be sweating pretty good after a short period of time being there. Not very comfortable for a longer stay. Place is pretty noisy so not a great place to have a conversation. Games are fun but for the price they are very short. Two stars because the food and service were pretty good. read more

It was past hot inside! Fans everywhere blowing our sweat dry. Not to mention many games would run out of time before anyone could figure out the goal. Just awful! I won't recommend anyone to go there! I'm fact the exact opposite! read more

Manager and photographer were not the nicest. When we first came in it was smiles and hospitality then when leaving we tried to communicate some issues there was with our bill and didn't get the warmest response from the manger and same from the photographer. Both just seemed annoyed by anything we said. Women's bathroom smelled terrible, the sink water was boiling, there was poop on a seat, and 3 out of the 4 towel dispensers weren't working. A lot of games malfunctioned or were out of order. Most of the food was okay, wings came out cold. The only reason I gave a 2 star was because the person helping us with the games that keep shutting down was so nice and our waitress did her best to help us with the billing issues. Sucks that a place we loved a year ago turned into a place we don't want to go back to. read more

My husband and I came in after having dinner in Denver to play some games and we had a great time! Drinks were good and our bartender Mitchell was awesome! Besides a few games not working it was a fun time. read more

A fun, casual spot. Food is ok. Drinks are ok. Go for the beers instead. Some games are dated but it's a nice thing to do especially during the summer heat. read more

If it were up to me, I would not have come here to eat, but it was my friend's birthday and she wanted to start with food and drink before moving onto games. Everything on the menu is honestly gross. The fried pickles were too breaded, the spicy margarita was too syrupy, etc. Everyone thought the food was subpar, and no one finished what they got. The games were fine, albeit expensive. The card dispensing machines were straightforward. The best part is how many games there are! So many different types - definitely something for everyone. The prizes weren't very impressive, though I wouldn't have expected anything else. I had a lot more fun at D&B in college. Now it kinda feels like a waste of money. read more

Went here last night with my son Cooper. Had an absolute blast! Recommend it to anyone looking for a fun family experience!

To be honest, I had a fairly good experience up until we had a weird racist interaction from the staff. I was ordering a drink with my black friend and he did not like the way the drink tasted so he asked them to remake it. The bartender that made our drink, went up to her manager and said that he threatened to "beat her ass." We immediately denied this because he ordered a martini but they made us a cosmo. The manager approached us with another random person and mentioned to my friend what the bartender said. We immediately denied this because he did not like how the original drink tasted. So we politely ask them to remake the drink. Unfortunately, this escalated to a point where our entire group was kicked out by security staff and management. We spent over $1,500 at this establishment as a group. It was unfortunate that we experienced racism and got kicked out because of it. If you are a person of color, I would not recommend going here. read more

Great place for entertainment and fun. The place was clean, bathrooms super but super clean and neat. Serves were very friendly. The vibe here is always awesome. Totally recommend to stop by if you want to spend time with your kiddos or friends. read more

This visit I have to give props to the excellent customer service that I received on this visit. One of the young boys I had brought here kept dropping his game card as he was insistent on carrying it. He finally dropped it for the last time as someone picked it up and didn't notify us. I immediately found an employee that was walking the floor and I told him my dilemma. He instantly said follow me and we'll talk to my manager. All I needed was my receipt and the cards that we had and they were able to retrieve the credit off the lost card and put it on a new card. All in all as usual we had a good time. The boys I brought ranges from age 4, 6, and 10. Unfortunately there really wasn't much for a 4 yo there though he made the most of it hanging with his brothers. read more

the bar staff was very nice and attentive, and there were hardworking game mechanics on the floor who had their work cut out for them. however, the biggest takeaway from the experience was the HEAT. the ac is evidently broken; it was hot and humid as all hell, especially considering how many people were there on a busy Saturday evening. they had some fans going, but they hardly made a difference; I swear it almost felt better stepping outside into the 95 degree day because at least there was a consistent breeze. by the time we did leave, both my bf and I were soaked in sweat--wet hair stuck to our foreheads and the backs of our necks, our shirts sticking to our chests and backs, and sweat rolling down our arms and legs the whole time we were playing games. if the HVAC system cannot keep the building at a safe temperature, I don't think the venue should be operating under these conditions. it was borderline inhabitable. if they think this is an acceptable experience for paying customers, it only makes you wonder what the poor staff is expected to put up with. I felt lightheaded and genuinely concerned that I was experiencing early signs of heat exhaustion as we were leaving after only an hour or two, which makes it concerning that staff is expected to work full shifts like this?! not to mention, charging full price for all the food, drinks, and games price despite such an uncomfortable, unpleasant, and borderline unsafe environment is certainly a choice...we definitely feel ripped off. read more

I took my team to eat at Dave & Buster's on Colorado Boulevard and we had a mix up with our ticket, tax exemption and gratuity and the manager Mitchell came and straightened everything out by breaking every ticket down and figuring out the total. he took some time to completely and thoro explain what was being done. he was kind enough to take some of my team to try the human claw. Mitchell took exceptional care of us. thank you! read more

Shoutout to Dave & Buster's! Our cheerleading team, who is competing at State, came to Dave & Buster's for dinner tonight, and we had such a great experience! A huge thank-you to Manager Mitchel for going above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our team. He even let our girls try the Human Claw, which was an absolute highlight of the night! Mitchel also took care of a payment issue quickly and made sure our entire visit was smooth and enjoyable. He truly deserves recognition -- and maybe even a raise read more

Just an update- here is a game where they literally ripped off the back panel so the claw cannot access prizes in the last foot of the game. Lots of broken games - see pictures. I don't blame the staff but wow, this is a depressing arcade. read more

Staring with the games are way overpriced but... you expect that so it's fine. They were in good repair and the kids had fun. We went on Sunday and there were football games on every screen so that was great for my sports obsessed nephew. We We ordered the take it cheesy and crispy business sample boards and a side salad. Those were priced as expected and the food was what you would expect from pub food. The staff at the desk was rude but the waitstaff and the the staff in the arcade were fabulous and kind. read more

Food Needs Improvement The food is really not that great. The burger was okay, but the ribs were overly salty. I had a chicken sandwich, too, but the meat was small and nothing special on taste. The craziest part was that I couldn't get a Guinness. I was told they were out, even though they have 80 bars in there, lol. The games are great, that's the main draw. read more

I got scammed and many machines broken at the area where you can get things for points had a sign that said $1= 60 credits and I gave them $10 and they only put 30 credits on it and didn't give me any more. Many machines over half scanned my Dave and busters card and didn't let me play. I would like to get my money back but I couldn't. Wouldn't want to come back. read more

I've been going to this location for over a decade and much more often recently since our son is old enough to run around. The staff almost always good, fast, and friendly. Food is normally made well though can vary on the options corporate pushes down to the menu. Whoever was in charge of the menu the last year or so opted for more health inspired food which we enjoyed and went often for. Seems the menu is trending back towards generic bar food which is a bummer. Games are still pretty fun with my kid so overall 3.3/5 since some games often broken. Look for the deals they run and half off Wednesdays. read more

Sometimes you have to be reminded why you skip the large corporate chains. This place had a number of issues. My food was bone cold, and even though a manager did help to make it right, the food just isn't quality here. It's only worth about half of what you pay. The arcade was a disappointment too. So many games were out of order. Bad news indeed. We left with money on the card. Don't plan to come back to this location at all. read more

Dave & Buster's Denver - Chimichurri Bowl - not served in a bowl, and just a bunch of random ingredients on a plate. - American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We had a good time at the arcade however when it came time to eat that is another story. First we had to find a server to get seated. Then she took a long time getting our drinks. I could see her chatting with other servers which didn't help make the appearance of being slow any better. The food was good enough not great but not too bad either. We got the cheese sticks and at $14 for only 5 seems a bit ridiculous otherwise everything was fine. read more

Fun place to eat! Didn't play any games but came for happy hour (of course) before a movie. Service and food were both great and I love 1/2 price drinks! The dining area is huge and there are so many TV's for watching sports. Our server, Bryan, was excellent as was the bartender, Toni. We had the barbecue chicken flatbread and the avocado bacon chicken club sandwich which were both very good. The dining area is huge with plenty of private areas for large parties. They do validate parking and it's a fun place. There wasn't any food on the happy hour menu but the drink specials are great. read more

Good food service! The bartender was very friendly. Good game selection. I like their Wednesday special! Will be back.

I definitely did not experience any of the issues here that so many reviewers commented about in their reviews. Our teenager wanted to come here with a friend for his bday this weekend. We came pretty early so there wasn't a huge crowd. The lady at the reception area was super nice and friendly, very knowledgeable.. the price for the credits in the cards are definitely steep for the prizes one ultimately "wins" from the games. Kids go thru the credits fast, and the place sure does count on it. The interior was clean and there didn't seem to be any out of order games. The food was fine, we had a sampler and the kids ordered wings and Mac n cheese. Everything tasted good and came out hot n fresh. Our waiter was friendly, felt bad for him for a while as it got pretty busy and he was by himself. All in all it was a fine experience, albeit a pricey one. read more

Fun Fact: Local DJ promoter Vibe Denver keeps the fun going at Dave and Buster's Denver. I had an absolute blast playing half-price games (Wednesdays) and enjoying apps and drinks that, quite frankly, exceeded my expectations. Some menu highlights include: * Grande Cantina Nachos BBQ Chicken Flatbread Double Pepperoni Flatbread Caribbean Luxe Long Island Tea Vanilla Old Fashioned * A great night of fooding, drinking, and gaming combined with some bass thumping song remixes came just in time to relieve some of my end of the school year stress. Our server remained attentive and the food arrived quickly. read more

Dave and Busters had gone through many changes over the years but I think they are trying to cater to too many things at the same time and it gives them a sort of identity crisis. Are they an arcade, a restaurant, a sports bar, an event center. Turns out they are a little bit of all things. I came here for a business function and I did have a decent time. Ate some food, drank some alcohol, played some games and it was all good. read more

DO NOT USE FHE KIOSKS TO LOAD CARDS!!! We went a few weeks ago and my card was skimmed using the kiosk. There used to be employees at a counter nearby to load cards but they are long gone. We let a manager know and the response was basically they try but can't always check. From now on, I will have staff load the cards. The games are pricey AF. The prizes are generally garbage. Yes, there is all this excitement and sounds like a casino but it's just hype. Now you can trade tickets for food which is good but when my kids went last Wednesday on 1/2 price game day, they were given conflicting information about how to get food. Staff has always been really friendly so I gave it 2 stars. read more

I'm sure it's a great place to bring children who are too young to notice how disgusting everything is. I'm surprised I was able to leave the bathroom considering the bottoms of my shoes stuck to floor with every move I took. The menu pages were stuck together with the same stickiness that was covering their bathroom floor because they haven't been wiped down since they opened. Service at the bar was a joke every bartender was rude. I would hate my life if I worked there too but blaming more of management staff for that one. I didn't have any silverware or napkins dropped off with my burger and fries but it's probably because they knew I wouldn't need it considering their food is INEDIBLE. The fries were hard as a rock and if you can't even cook frozen fries right I don't know what to else to say. read more
