Dave & Busters at the Irvine Spectrum

The Irvine Spectrum is not the most exciting place in the world, but it's easy to spend a few hours there.  For those of you who don't know what Dave & Busters is, it's basically an adult arcade and restaurant.  They have a full bar, restaurant, tons of video games, pool tables, and shuffle board tables.

"No matter how you define fun, you'll find it at Dave & Buster's. Whether it's the action of interactive games, enjoying great food, fun bars or playing classic favorites like world class pocket billiards— they've created a unique experience that has something for everyone. - Irvine Spectrum
Dave & Busters has a pretty good happy hour, 2 actually, one 4:30pm - 7pm (Monday to Friday), and a late night happy hour from 10pm to close (Sunday to Thursday).  Happy hour features 1/2 price cocktails and beer and wine specials.  They also offer the "Power Hour", 60 minutes of game play for $10 during the 4:30pm happy hour.

The Irvine Spectrum also has lots of restaurants, shopping, and a movie theater.  If you're bored during the day, or want to have a good meal, catch a movie, have a few drinks, and play some games by night, head down to the Irvine Spectrum.  If you get sick of Dave & Busters and want another drink, you can also go next door to The Yardhouse and try one of their many beers on tap.
