We’re regulars at D&B on Wednesdays and the staff is amazing at the bar!!! The menu is big, food is great. Karson has been amazing ever since the first night we came here. He takes amazing care of us always! He’s become a friend of ours. Riley, Caleb and Peyton are also awesome!!!! Everyone works very efficiently. The games are fun; it’s 1/2 off games on Wednesdays. They have two happy hours and often have cool deals. Strongly recommend!!!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Works for families during daytime and early evening hours. Kids aged 5 and up will find the redemption arcade engaging, and the food menu covers both adult and child preferences. The bar and happy hour programming make evening visits more adult-oriented. Birthday parties and group events are well-supported with private booking options.

“Karson was running the bar tonight and he gave the friendliest and most attentive service we could ask for. His bar staff (Caleb and Riley) were there for our every need and we will continue to come back to this location!”

“Everything was so amazing! From greeting to service to food! I would highly recommend especially if you're looking for somewhere to go with your spouse and your kids or maybe just a night out.This is definitely the place I would recommend! This is not only just a place for kids to have fun, but it's also fun for adults who want to have family friendly fun! Karson was the manager at the time of our visit and he came to our table and introduced himself he was super friendly and hospitable he greeted our family as if we were his own family, he was really nice!”

“Went in for some drinks and games and had the best service by Karson (with a K). He has exemplar customer service, and honestly deserves a raise, or promotion! If you come in here, ask for him! 10/10 experience!”
