$15-million venue to open soon on Hill

Not a huge surprise here as this Dave & Busters has been discussed on here for several months now. It says it should be completed in about 3 weeks, can’t wait to see the sign go up!

From the Niagara Falls Review

A $15-million restaurant complex under construction on Clifton Hill is quickly taking shape.

The iconic street will soon be the home of a new Dave & Buster’s Restaurant and Amusement Centre, with a second one planned for the Fallsview area next year.

“It will be truly unique and different from anything in the area,” said Wayne Thomson, spokesman for the Fallsview Group.

Dave & Buster’s is an American franchise that has proven popular in the U. S. There is only one in Canada, located in Toronto.

The property, at the corner of Oneida Lane on Clifton Hill, once housed the former Pilgrim Restaurant. It was purchased by Carmen Menechella of the Fallsview Group, representing a $15-million investment.

The original plan was to renovate the existing structure, but it was in poor condition. Instead, the owners constructed a new three-storey building.

“It’s a total entertainment destination,” said Thomson, noting it will have something for the entire family.

He said it’s the kind of place where a family could attend a Christmas or birthday party, and while one parent sat in the sports bar with about 40 large-screen televisions, the children could play billiards, shuffleboard, basketball or all kinds of electronic video games.

“It will have everything you can think of … It’s totally unique,” said Thomson.

It’s expected the new facility will open in about three weeks.

  1. I am surprise that they are talking about it as being a family destination. Dave and Buster is more of an adult place. The one in Toronto you have to be 19 to enter after 9:00.

  2. Hmmm wonder if the one on Clifton Hill will be more family oriented and the one in the Fallsview area may be strictly 19 and over!?

    But wow why 2 Dave & Busters I just find that odd?
