Dave & Buster’s is gearing up to light up Jack London Square this spring, bringing its combo of arcade games, sports bar energy and full-service restaurant fare to Oakland’s waterfront. The multi-level venue is moving into the long-vacant building at 55 Harrison Street, where construction crews are already at work. Company representatives say the site is expected to create local jobs and serve as a major sports-viewing hub for fans and families.
A communications specialist for the chain confirmed the Jack London Square location and said the restaurant-entertainment venue is aiming for a spring opening, according to KTVU. The Jack London Square tenant directory also lists Dave & Buster’s as an upcoming arrival at 55 Harrison Street, joining the company’s existing Bay Area locations in Concord, Daly City, Milpitas and Fairfield.
Long Vacant Building Gets A Second Life
The six-story property at 55 Harrison was previously slated to become a roughly 40,000 square foot food hall featuring high-profile Bay Area chefs, a project that ultimately stalled during the pandemic. SFGATE reported that a liquor-license filing is pending for the address and noted that the building has sat largely unused since it was constructed in 2009.
