Dave & Buster’s Times Square: A 42nd Street Arcade and Sports Bar With a 4–7pm Weekday Happy Hour
Dave & Buster’s Times Square is on the third floor of 234 West 42nd Street, and its OpenTable listing puts happy hour at Monday through Friday, 4 to 7pm. Prices for that window aren’t published, so ask at the bar before you assume a deal. In Times Square, that’s a good habit anyway.
This is the Times Square branch of the national arcade-and-sports-bar chain, and the listing sells it the way you’d expect: more state-of-the-art games than ever, an American menu with burgers, a full bar, big-screen TVs for live sports, and casual dress. It’s built for groups and families more than dates. Reviews on its OpenTable page are current, with diners posting as recently as October 2026.
The Happy Hour
Happy hour runs Monday through Friday, 4–7pm, per the Dave & Buster’s OpenTable listing for this location. The chain’s own website wasn’t reachable when we checked, and the listing doesn’t include happy-hour prices, so ask at the bar what’s included. No weekend happy hour is listed. Checked October 2026.
The Room
It’s on 42nd Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, steps from the Times Square–42nd Street station and the A, C and E at Port Authority. Hours are 11am to midnight Monday and Tuesday, 11am to 1am Wednesday through Friday, 10am to 2am Saturday and 10am to midnight Sunday. Reservations are on OpenTable, which puts a typical check at $30 and under per person.
