Dave and Buster's

 Like Chuck E. Cheese with beer (and minus the terrifying animatronics), Dave & Buster's becomes an adults-only playground every night. Yes, it’s a little more bro-y than the other arcade bars on our list, but it does the trick if you want to be playing Skee-Ball in between sips of Bud Light. You’ll find beer, cocktails and bar food here, along with billiards and shuffleboard for analog entertainment. Most of the activity is centered around arcade cabinets, chance games and ride-like experiences tied into video game, movie and iPhone app franchises—in other words, expect to keep recharging that Power Card throughout the night. For many years, trips to D&B were once confined to long excursions out to the suburbs, but in L.A. you can now find the chain both in the Promenade at Howard Hughes Center and at Ovation in Hollywood.
