Dave & Buster’s is part restaurant, bar, and arcade, so its Dave & Buster’s Happy Hour can be a fit when your group wants food, drinks, and games in one stop. But there is no single schedule that applies to every branch. The company’s location pages list different Happy Hour windows, and the current $5 beverage and wing promotion is limited to participating restaurants. Check your branch before you leave.
What time is Happy Hour at Dave & Buster’s?
For a precise answer, choose a location first. The official site says hours and offers may change by restaurant. For example, the Torrance, California location lists Happy Hour drinks from 4–7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 p.m. to close Sunday through Thursday. The Times Square location lists 4:30–7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Those are examples—not chain-wide hours.
| Official location example | Posted Happy Hour window | What it tells you |
| Torrance, California | Mon–Fri, 4–7 p.m.; Sun–Thu, 10 p.m.–close | Includes a late-night window |
| New York City, Times Square | Mon–Fri, 4:30–7 p.m. | Starts 30 minutes later than the Torrance after-work window |
“Close” means the local restaurant’s posted closing time, which can vary by day. Some location pages also show drink offers without publishing every time block in the same spot. If you are searching “Dave and Busters near me” or “Dave and Buster close to me,” use the official location finder, select the closest branch, and check its Happy Hours section. Call if the posted information conflicts or you plan to arrive near the end of a late-night window.
Dave & Buster’s Happy Hour menu and drink prices
The official site lists a limited-time Fall Watch promotion on Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays at participating locations. It includes $5 Lime Time Margaritas, $5 Lime Time Frozen Margaritas, $5 Transfusions, and $5 select 22-ounce domestic draft beers. The beer choice can vary, and Pennsylvania locations limit the selection to Miller Lite. The offer is for dine-in and is subject to change.
The official Happy Hour terms also describe other local drink selections and late-night offers, but the times and items vary. Do not assume a cocktail shown for one branch is sold for the same price at every D&B. Alcohol is only for guests 21 or older.
Drink price comparison
| Drink | Regular menu price | Promotional price | Savings | Scope |
| Lime Time Margarita | Not published online; varies by location | $5 | Not calculable | Fall Watch, Sun/Mon/Thu, participating locations |
| Lime Time Frozen Margarita | Not published online; varies by location | $5 | Not calculable | Same limited-time offer |
| Transfusion | Not published online; varies by location | $5 | Not calculable | Same limited-time offer |
| Select 22-oz domestic draft | Not published online; beer varies | $5 | Not calculable | In Pennsylvania, draft is limited to Miller Lite |
The regular menu price is marked unavailable because the official online menu does not publish a stable, chain-wide price for these drinks. That means a dollar-savings figure cannot be verified. Taxes and gratuity are extra.

Food specials: wings, bites, and menu prices
The same Fall Watch offer lists 10 traditional or boneless wings for $10 at participating locations. Choose one sauce or rub and one ranch or bleu cheese dip. The offer is dine-in only, and the restaurant says not to take home leftovers in a bag under this promotion. The listed deal days are Sunday, Monday, and Thursday; the offer does not promise that these wings are available during every branch’s Happy Hour time block.
Food price comparison
| Food offer | Regular menu price for the same serving | Promotional price | Savings | Terms |
| 10 traditional or boneless wings | Not published online; varies by location | $10 for 10 | Not calculable | Sun/Mon/Thu; participating locations; dine-in |
The current national online menu describes shareable starters such as Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, Cheesy Spinach Dip, Fried Pickles, and Pretzel Dogs. It does not provide one regular price that applies to every restaurant. A few location pages mention a $5 Bites promotion, but the chain also lists restaurants where that deal is not available. Check your local menu before planning around a particular appetizer.

Other Dave & Buster’s deals and birthday parties
The current Play & Eat Combo lets you add one eligible entrée for $4.99 when you purchase a Power Card. The listed choices include Dave’s Double Cheeseburger, Fish & Chips, Boneless Wings, Crispy Chicken Sandwich, Classic Goldfingers, and Parmesan Garlic Chicken Caesar Salad. The main promotion terms require a Power Card purchase of at least $25; entrée pricing starts at $9.99 in Times Square, Hawaii, and Canada. The offer is limited-time, dine-in, one per person, and cannot be combined with other promotions. It is separate from Happy Hour.
You may see older pages call another offer the “Eat & Play Combo,” often described as an entrée plus a $10 Power Card and starting at $19.99. Because the chain’s current national page features Play & Eat and location pages can show different prices or older offer language, read the terms for your chosen branch before comparing totals.
For birthday party places near you, Dave & Buster’s lists kids’ party packages starting at $19.99 per person, with higher packages priced from $29.99, $34.99, and $38.99. Prices vary by location. Packages differ in food, Power Card value, gameplay, and whether the party uses shared seating or a private banquet space. Some packages have guest minimums, and booking notice varies by region. Request a local quote for your date and group size.

Are Dave & Buster’s deals worth planning around?
If you want a low-cost drink, the $5 promotion is easy to compare: select featured drinks and draft beer are each listed at five dollars. For food, the 10-for-$10 wing offer has a clear total price, but the normal price for ten matching wings is not posted chain-wide. The best way to estimate your bill is to ask whether the game-day special is active, check the regular menu for your branch, and add tax and tip.
For a group that also wants arcade games, the Play & Eat offer may be more relevant than Happy Hour. Remember that the entrée price is added to the Power Card purchase, rather than being the full meal-and-game total. If you are booking a birthday, compare packages by food, game credit, room type, guest count, and event date—not just the starting per-person price.
The $5 drink does not include game play, and Play & Eat requires a separate Power Card purchase. The combo terms exclude tax and gratuity and say the offer cannot be combined with other promotions. For a group outing, decide whether arcade time or a lower bar tab matters more, then compare the right offer. Ask your server to confirm before ordering because limited-time deals can change.
How to find your local Dave & Buster’s
Open the official U.S. location finder and search by city or ZIP code. On the local page, review the posted hours, Dave & Buster’s Happy Hour, current specials, and menu. The company says menu and hours can vary. If you want drinks, confirm the offer’s days and late-night window; for wings, confirm the participating-location offer and ask whether it runs during the time you plan to visit.
If you want to reserve a table, the Eat & Drink page recommends booking ahead, especially for a larger party or sports watch. For a birthday or private event, use the party page or contact a local planner instead of assuming restaurant seating and event packages have the same terms.
