Love the tap table! "A waitperson keys in how much beer your group wants to purchase, and then the customers pour their own as needed, in the preferred quantity — pint or half-pint, for instance."

Highlights from article linked above:

This D&B has 170 games in its “Million Dollar Midway” — lots of “driving” simulators and games of chance.

branded activities, including ones based on “Wheel of Fortune,” Monopoly, the Star Wars trilogy, “The Simpsons,” NASCAR and “The Fast and the Furious” … not to mention a game based on an abandoned theme park and killer clowns.

There’s also low-tech options such as skeeball and basketball competitions.

Winner’s Circle, where winning tickets from select games can be cashed in for prizes. The range of booty goes from candy to plush toys to iPods to electric guitars to Sony Playstations. Top prize requires 73,000 tickets.

If traveling south on I-Drive, it’s located just past the Olive Garden.

Operating hours will be 11 a.m.-1 a.m. Sunday-Thursday, 11 a.m.- 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

300 people were hired for the Orlando Dave & Buster’s location.

Great!
I've never been to a Dave & Buster's before. If we take the kids one afternoon, any idea on how much the games tend to run? We have some "no park" days in a couple weeks and are looking for little things to do here and there.

Sorry not much help here, it's been years since I've been. When DH & I went we didn't do many games, but we were with our 20's-something nephew and his wife and I think they played everything in there at least one time

Hopefully someone else will chime in

Thank you! I did check out the site, but couldn't get a clear idea on how much we'll be spending with 2 little boys.

Not sure if we'll eat there or just play there. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks Seahunt .

Thanks for posting this. I look for stuff to do in the evening with my teen and he might just like this.

When we go to the one here in Miami, we usually eat lunch or dinner and take advantage of the specials they have. Usually, it's a certain number of tokens for the games with each meal. And it's a substantial number of games, not just a few. We never pay for games and the food is pretty good and fairly reasonably priced.
