Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc. (D&B) is an American restaurant and entertainment business headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Founded in 1982 by David "Dave" Corriveau and James "Buster" Corley in Dallas, the company was created after they realized that patrons were moving back and forth between their respective arcade and bar establishments in Little Rock, Arkansas in the 1970s, prompting them to partner in creating the combined arcade/bar/restaurant concept. Each Dave & Buster's location has a full-service restaurant, full bar, and a video arcade, the latter of which is known as the "Million Dollar Midway". As of September 2026, the company has 184 Dave and Buster's branded locations in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada, as well as six international franchise stores across the countries of Australia, the Dominican Republic, India, and the Philippines, with a location in Mexico City, Mexico set to open before the end of the company's 2026 fiscal year. The company also owns the Main Event brand of similar activity and food & beverage based stores as a wholly owned subsidiary company, which features more than 65 locations under that brand name.
