Known for combining casual dining, arcade games, and sports viewing in one place, Dave & Buster’s brings a fresh, all-in-one experience to Metro Manila.

Locals now have a new option to add to their list of hangout places in Manila, especially for barkadas who want food, drinks, and games all in one go. Expect American comfort food, signature cocktails, and an arcade packed with games for all ages. Also offering large screens for live sports and multi-use spaces for parties or tournaments, this isn’t just a game centre, it’s a social hub.

The concept fits perfectly into Metro Manila’s fast-evolving food and lifestyle scene. Dave & Buster’s is partnering with The Bistro Group, the same company behind TGI Fridays, Denny’s, and Hard Rock Café in the Philippines. With their experience in bringing international brands to local diners, expect a mix of U.S. favorites and localized dishes on the menu.

This launch puts the Philippines on the map as the brand’s first stop in Southeast Asia. Opening day will likely draw crowds looking for something more than the usual mall experience. This is a strong signal that more Dave & Buster’s locations could follow across the country.
