Dave & Buster’s pushing international expansion

Dave & Buster’s is expanding its global footprint with the opening of its second location in India. The 22,000-square-foot entertainment venue is located in the Infiniti Mall in Mumbai and follows its first Indian location in Bangalore. Dave & Buster’s has several locations under construction, with a pipeline for 2026 and 2027 that includes venues in Manila, Santo Domingo, Perth and Mexico City. 

“We’re seeing universal demand for high-energy, social experiences that bring people together,” Antonio Bautista, Dave & Buster’s chief development officer for international markets, said in a company press release. “These openings, and those in the pipeline through 2027, represent more than market entry—they’re about creating entirely new ways for people to connect and celebrate in their communities.” 

The expansion into India is a partnership with the Malpani Group. Shreya Malpani, a director with the group, said the company is committed to bringing “elevated, world-class entertainment” to India’s most vibrant cities. 

Each Dave & Buster’s location will feature the brand’s signature combination of food, drinks, games, and competitive socializing experiences. The company is positioning itself as a leading global brand in the competitive socializing space, with confirmed locations in North America, Asia, Latin America and Australia.
