Dave & Buster's is expanding its presence in Australia with the opening of its first Western Australian venue in Clarkson, Perth.

The new venue combines dining, drinks and arcade-style gaming, marking another step in the entertainment brand’s international expansion following recent launches in the Philippines, India and the Dominican Republic.

Located in Perth’s northern corridor, the Clarkson site has been designed as a social entertainment hub aimed at group gatherings, celebrations and competitive gaming experiences.

"We continue to see strong global demand for immersive social entertainment experiences," said Antonio Bautista, President of International at Dave & Buster's.

"Perth represents an exciting opportunity in Western Australia. Clarkson is a thriving, growing community, making it an ideal location to introduce our unique experience to everyone."

The Perth venue was developed in partnership with Australian hospitality and entertainment operator NightOwl.

"We're proud to introduce Dave & Buster's to Clarkson and the greater Perth community" said David Heaton, CEO of NightOwl.

"This concept delivers a unique blend of dining, drinks and competitive social gaming that we believe will quickly become a landmark destination in the area."

Founded in 1982 and headquartered in Texas, Dave & Buster’s operates about 250 venues across North America and international markets. The company has flagged further global expansion plans for 2026, including future openings in New Delhi and Mexico City.
