Dave & Buster’s — Imagine a place where you can dive into the thrilling arcade games, relish mouth-watering dishes, sip innovative cocktails, and share unforgettable moments with your loved ones. That’s exactly what Dave & Buster’s promises to bring to Bangalore with its first-ever outlet in India. The iconic American entertainment and dining destination has chosen the bustling neighbourhood of Koramangala, at Mantri Avenue, to kickstart its journey in the country—and it’s a debut to remember!
A 27,000 Sq Ft Playground for Fun and Flavors
The flagship outlet of Dave & Buster’s in Bangalore spreads over a massive 27,000 sq ft and is much more than a gaming arcade. It is an entertainment, dining, and socialising destination. It houses a lively 300-seater restaurant, a cocktail bar, and a very long gaming midway that houses games never seen in India before.
Whether you’re a die-hard gamer, a foodie, or someone just looking for a great time with friends and family, there’s something for everyone here.
A blend of American classics and local flavours
It’s not just about games; Dave & Buster’s is also a culinary destination. The menu has an eclectic blend of classic American dishes and locally inspired creations to satisfy every palate. Here are a few must-try items:
- Buster’s Smash Burger and Chicken Cantina Nachos would hit all the comfort food spots.
- Locally Inspired Delights: Bhoot Jholokia Wings are hot, spicy, and flavorful, Guntur Chicken is sour and sweet, and Chilli Paneer is just that – flavorful.
- Signature Salads: Bangalore Summer Fresco Salad is drizzled with balsamic glaze, and the health-conscious diner will surely love it.
Pair these dishes with expertly crafted cocktails like the Red Velvet, a fruity raspberry gin mix, or the Saffron Sour, a tangy twist on a classic drink. For movie buffs, Mr. Perfect, inspired by The Godfather, combines Scotch with a hint of coffee for a bold yet smooth finish.
Unparalleled Gaming and Entertainment
Dave & Buster’s takes gaming to a new high with state-of-the-art midway. Cutting-edge attractions like Godzilla VR, NBA hoops, Formula 1, Pacman roller, and the first bowling experience in India featuring Nitro Lighting and Sparks would go on their must-do list.
This is far from just a game experience as it carries high energetic immersion that caters to every age group thus becoming the perfect outing for families, friends, or colleagues.
This is just the beginning of Dave & Buster’s journey in India. Shreya Malpani, Director of the Malpani Group, Bangalore is the perfect launchpad for their ambitious plans. “With Bangalore’s booming food and beverage scene, there is a strong demand for a place where friends and families can have fun and spend time together. Dave & Buster’s perfectly fills this gap,” she says.
With 15 additional locations planned around India, the Malpani Group intends to grow rapidly. Mumbai is their next destination!
More than just a place to go, Dave & Buster’s promises to be an experience that combines the finest aspects of dining, gambling, and socialising. Bangalore now has its taste of American entertainment, with a hint of local flair, thanks to its opening on Mantri Avenue.
