Operating within Louisville, Kentucky, the Dave & Buster’s at 5000 Shelbyville Road opened its doors on February 4, 2019, as the second location for the franchise in Kentucky and the 122nd nationwide at that time. This expansive entertainment and dining complex quickly became a dedicated recreational hub for the Louisville community, offering over 150 arcade games in its “Million Dollar Midway,” including virtual reality attractions such as Dragonfrost and Jurassic World VR Expedition. Beyond gaming, the venue features a full-service restaurant with a chef-crafted menu and a state-of-the-art D&B Sports Bar equipped with numerous large HDTVs for sports viewing.
The establishment contributes to the local economy by providing over 230 jobs and serves as a significant attraction within Mall St. Matthews, drawing families and youth seeking multi-attraction entertainment. The facility also accommodates private events, including corporate gatherings and birthday parties. In October 2024, the Louisville location underwent a significant reimagining, introducing new features such as Interactive Social Bays with high-tech darts and shuffleboard, an enhanced immersive watch experience with a 40-foot screen, and an updated menu, ensuring its continued relevance as a premier entertainment destination.
