Dallas-based Dave & Busters, a national chain of restaurant and entertainment centers, this week opened its first Wisconsin location at 2201 N. Mayfair Road in Wauwatosa.
The 35,000-square-foot Dave & Busters building was built on a site formerly occupied by a Ewald Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep dealership.
The Wauwatosa Dave & Busters location has nearly 200 games ( including classic skill and arcade games plus simulators and billiards), 24 flat screen televisions and a high definition projector screen, a full bar, restaurant and two private conference rooms.
“Dave & Buster’s is a totally new concept in the greater Milwaukee area where guests can eat, drink and play under one roof,” said Wauwatosa restaurant general manger Esther Gomez.
On average, Dave & Buster’s stores get half a million guests each year. Most visitors are adults 21 years of age and older.
“People in Wisconsin love to go out and have fun,” said Wauwatosa Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Meg McKenna. “We have been asking for a place like this for a long time. Dave & Buster’s will be a great addition to the community.”
