So :lol:

Give me the lowdown on this place. I mean, it's like a Chuck E. Cheese's that sells steak, correct?

    It's got alcohol.. okay for a gathering. Food is offered.


    My question:

    I have 30,000 credits on a card for this place. I can exchange for a cheesey prize.

    Do they expire?

    Don't have D&B here, closest one is 800 miles away. Though, we already have a Gameworks and Jillian's both have games and food.

    Games are overpriced and food is bleh. Last time I was at GW, it was overrun by punk kids (high school age). Jillian's was alright, but it was a company party, so most games were free.

    Probably more fun for college kids.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    That is exactly what makes it fun! I get invited to the Office parties... Free tokens and games.
    I feel like Owen Wilson from Wedding Crashers, but I crash office parties. Gameworks, Jillian's and Dave and Busters are owned by the same Corp...? The food is Gross..

    So I need to be in college to have a good time?

    Excluding the mediocre food, Dave and Busters is probably good for a couple hours of fun.

    Unless you are playing pool and drinking, then maybe a little longer.

    If you have a good group of people this place is fun.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    No, its just that even though the places try to gear towards 'middle age' college kids tend to take over, they don't want to be stuck with the high school kuds at the arcade. Pretty much all areas are open to all ages, except for the bar. Jillian's charges by the hour for pool and has pro tables, so not that many college kids...they can't afford to play :lol:

    I still don't understand, I go where I want. My niece turned 2... I had permission to go on any monkey Joe rides. I was ready to punch kids in the face if they messed with my little bro's daughter, I was the only one small enough to go with her. I love SKi BAll. I'm a grown adult, but DOES IT MATTER?????


    I like games

    It’s been years since I’ve been there to play games.

    The CEO here likes to take us there for lunch once in a while. The only good thing about that is I get a free lunch.

    The food is nothing to write home about.

    I do like that game where you get balls and try over and over and over to get them in the hole. Persistence helps.
    then you get stings of tickets and feel good until it takes you an hour to count them all and you end up with a smurfette pez dispenser, and the pez is separate. damn hole game.

    i worked at one in NY for about two weeks in college, got written up for not selling enough of their signature long island ice teas (BUT YOU GET TO KEEP THE GLASS FOLKS!), tried explaining to the manager writting me up that 95% of the tables i have been serving were underage and couldn't order an alcoholic beverage.

    for some reason it was a difficult logic for him to comprenend and he proceeded with the right up. finished my shift and never came back.

    FUCK THAT PLACE! :lol:

    There's a D&B right by my house. Been to both that one and the one downtown. I guess if you're shitfaced with a group of people it's fun, but honestly I stay away from that place. Half the time the best games are broken and during the day they allow kids...which kills my buzz :lol:

    I'd much rather go to an ESPN Zone - there's one in Anaheim, much better games and food.
