Popular Texas Company Brings Food & Games To Iowa

I've only ever been to a Dave & Buster's once. And it was AEWSOME! I'm a huge gamer and a huge foodie, so combining the two is a no brainer for me. And now it just got even easier to visit as a new location opens for the first time in Iowa.

Unfortunately it will be a bit of a drive for me, but since I have family in the area a trip to Des Moines is definitely worth it come July 31st when a brand new Dave & Buster's 21,000 square foot facility opens at Jordan Creek Parkway near the Residence Inn by Marriott east of Jordan Creek Town Center Lake and just south of Jordan Creek Town Center near the cinemas.

The closest locations to Dubuque, Iowa are currently all located in Illinois with 4 establishments centered around Chicago: in Vernon Hills, Addison, Rosemont, and Orland Park. There are also 3 locations in Wisconsin: Green Bay, Madison, & Wauwatosa.

a "Top Gun: Maverick" VR game,

and dodgeball. You will also be able to enjoy classics like Pac-Man and Skee-Ball, all located on Dave & Buster's Million Dollar Midway.
