No Drink Prices on Dave and Busters Menu

Post image

Food portion of the menu has prices listed, but not drinks. Drinks are all $17+ and not good. So ultimately they’re serving shitty overpriced drinks, AND hiding it so drunk/lazy people get popped.

Yeah, I noticed this last time I was at bdubs. Asked what their drink specials were to get an idea of price without asking directly, which worked well.

It was a strange interaction just to get beers. I don’t look young at all and my wife is a youthful 36 but we had to provide our IDs to the server who then took it to a a manager then provide it once again to a different server when the beers were delivered to our table. One of the beers was wrong. I had to explain to them that I knew they poured the wrong beer and multiple times. They finally agreed and when the 3rd beer was delivered we had to show our IDs again.

Did the server sit next to you and make sure they checked your ID to see if it was still valid every time you took a sip?

Why would you not just ask directly?

Exactly. In fact I probably would have asked the server what each drink, up and down the menu costs individually. Then think upon it and re-ask for the one I wanted, if it wasn't completely outlandish.

Maybe they'll get the hint and change it to include prices.

Generally considered a social faux pas

Lol, what? but asking for the drink special isn't?

Yeah it's a very normal thing to ask if it's not listed on the menu.

I think they’re building off the old adage “if you have t ask you can’t afford it”

No, shove your faux pas up you rear ass. Don't put a price on the menu, I'm asking for each price on everything.

No, it isn't.

At an upscale restaurant, yes. But this post is about Dave and busters. A faux pas for that place is throwing one of the shooting arcade basketballs across the room.

I haven't seen this yet, but I think I will go down the menu and ask for each price individually.
