Last night Brenda and I went out to return a pair of slippers to Kohls. That's all. That one simple task turned into trips to Kohls, Petsmart and CompUSA. We both got new coats at Kohls, which pretty much wrapped up the last of our Christmas cash. I also finally found a decent wireless usb adapter at CompUSA for my powerbook.
So after all that, we figured we'd grab a bite, and there is a Dave & Busters right across from Kohls (where there is also a Hobby Lobby, Super Target, Circuit City, Costco and some other stuff). I knew nothing of Dave and Busters, other than it was a restaurant. That's an understatement.
Remember the good ole days of Showbiz Pizza? Big animatronic singing gorillas, pizzas and video games? Well imagine that times ten...only with a bar.
First, the place is HUGE. And it's divided into several distinct areas like a billiard room, bar, dining room, party room and a giant arcade "midway". This is the coolest arcade I've been to in a long time. Maybe ever. Half of it is skill games like skeeball and basketball throws. The other half are regular video games. And not crappy ones, either. Some really cool stuff.
We both ordered meal combos that each came with a $10 game card. With it, you get the equivalent of 48 tokens. You just walk up to a game and swipe the card, and it will tell you your remaining balance. How cool is that? Brenda got in a lot of skeeball time, and I made the rounds on the video games. By the time we ran out of credit, we'd been there like two hours.
Oh, and the food was really good too. Definitely going back soon, and will gladly take anyone that wants to come down for a visit :)
