US-based restaurant and entertainment chain Dave & Buster’s has opened in the Philippines, partnering with The Bistro Group to bring its signature ‘Eat. Drink. Play. Watch.’ concept to the country.
Antonio Bautista, chief international development officer at Dave & Buster’s, said the launch marks the first phase of the company’s multi-unit expansion plan.
“This is more than an opening; it’s a defining moment for Dave & Buster’s as we expand into the Philippines,” he added.
Located at Opus Mall in Manila, the venue offers a combination of dining, gaming, and sports entertainment.
Its dining menu features American classics such as Buster’s Bacon Burger and Pretzel Dogs, along with local cuisine and shareable plates. A bar also serves hand-crafted cocktails, beer, and specialty drinks.
There’s also a gaming area where customers can play a mix of arcade and virtual reality attractions such as Pac-Man Roller, Godzilla VR, and Fast and Furious Arcade.
Large HD screens are set up throughout the venue to provide dedicated sports viewing for enthusiasts.
“Dave & Buster’s is a revolutionary brand, and we’re proud to bring it to the Philippines,” said Jean Paul Manuud, president, The Bistro Group.
“Manila is ready for a venue that combines world-class dining, next-level games, and the best sports-viewing experience all in one place.”
