Dave & Buster’s Los Angeles – Hollywood brings a high-energy mix of arcade gaming, sports-bar dining, and large-format screens to Glendale, California. Despite the “Hollywood” branding in the venue’s name, this location is catalogued in the directory as part of the Glendale arcade scene, a city that has become a familiar stop for chain entertainment complexes serving the eastern San Fernando Valley and the Glendale Galleria corridor.
The venue operates as a multifaceted entertainment complex rather than a pure arcade, fusing a sprawling game floor with a full restaurant and bar. Its positioning makes it a frequent choice for birthday parties, corporate outings, and casual group nights where guests want food, drinks, and games under one roof, and it shows up on the arcade finder directory alongside other Southern California stops.

What Players Say
Reviewers consistently praise the food and drink menu, with one noting “the food is DELISH! No joke, I would 100% come back here just to eat” — Google review. The sports viewing setup earns its own applause: 40-foot HD screens and a wall of additional TVs across the venue let groups catch “pretty much any sport that’s on at the time” — Google review. The overall atmosphere is described as “fun and lively, the food was great, and the games made for an entertaining night out” — Google review.
Service draws a more mixed reaction. Many guests find the staff “incredibly kind and friendly, making the overall atmosphere welcoming” — Google review, while others flag slow turnaround during busy shifts and a few point out friction with the front-end tipping flow, noting that “they request a tip BEFORE they provide you service” — Google review. Game condition is also mixed, with reports that “a lot of the machines were broken and I couldn’t play any games that require tap” — Google review. On the value side, periodic promotions land well, with one guest highlighting “50% off games, which made the experience even better” — Google review.
Family outings and kid-friendly events are a recurring positive, with reviewers calling the venue “great for family outings, arcade fun, and casual entertainment, especially if you’re looking for something interactive” — Google review. Parking and accessibility earn quieter praise thanks to a nearby mall parking garage and easy public transit access. The main friction points are crowded peak-hour waits and the tipping prompt at the order terminal.
Games & Machines
The game floor runs on the Power Card swipe system, with credits loaded onto a card rather than handled as loose tokens. Featured machines include racing games, immersive shooters, air hockey, basketball games, and a strong lineup of redemption and ticket games. Larger-format attractions anchor the room, including the signature Human Crane, The Arena, and Social Bays built for group play.
An Unlimited Game Play upgrade is available for guests who want to skip per-credit pacing, and Eat & Play Combos bundle an entrée with a $10 Power Card starting at $19.99. The Human Crane is the headline signature attraction, and along with The Arena, both premium swipe amusements are explicitly excluded from promotional Unlimited Game Play offers. Power Cards are loadable with game credits, redemption games cap tickets earned at 1,500 under Unlimited Play, and a Power Card balance checker is available on site. A Season Pass is also offered for repeat visitors, and the full amenity list — full bar, full kitchen, private party rooms, HDTVs throughout, event planners, catering service, online ordering, and Power Card kiosks — supports a longer stay than a typical walk-in arcade.
