Gamers, foodies, and fun-seekers — this one’s for you. National Video Games Day is a chance to celebrate everything from the cabinets you grew up on to the newest releases hitting the floor, and there’s no better place to do it than Dave & Buster’s. Hundreds of games, a full kitchen and bar, and a room built for a little friendly competition, all under one roof.

When Is National Video Games Day?

National Video Games Day is observed annually on September 12. It’s a nationwide celebration of gaming culture — arcade classics, console favorites, and everything that’s come since. (It’s often confused with National Video Game Day, which some calendars mark on July 8; September 12 is the one most widely recognized.)

Why Dave & Buster’s Is the Place to Celebrate

Dave & Buster’s is built for exactly this kind of day. Whether you came up on quarter-fed cabinets or you’re chasing the newest thing on the floor, there's something for everyone.

• Hundreds of games in one place — racing, shooting, sports, and ticket games.
• New titles landing regularly, so there’s always something you haven’t played yet.
• Something for every crew — date nights, squad hangouts, family outings, or a solo run at a high score.
• Rewards members can stack the visit with perks they’re already earning.

A Gamer’s Paradise, Any Day of the Year

Chase a high score. Settle the basketball rivalry once and for all. See who lasts longest in the VR arena. Every game you play is a shot at tickets, and every ticket brings you closer to the WIN! Store — where the shelves run from oversized plushies to gadgets worth the grind.  Explore what’s on the arcade floor at Dave & Buster's for more info. 

Make It a Full Night Out

It wouldn’t be Dave & Buster’s without food and drinks to keep the night going. Grab a shareable plate for the table, order a signature cocktail, then head back out to the floor. Eat, drink, play, and win — without ever leaving the building.
