Jan 22, 2025
(KRON) -- Dave & Buster's is opening its first location in the North Bay. The arcade and sports bar is planning to open at the Santa Rosa Plaza by the end of the year.
Dave & Buster's is expected to open on Dec. 31, according to the mall's website. The Texas-based entertainment venue will be located on the lower level near the A Street entrance -- taking over the former space of Forever 21.
According to a Santa Rosa Plaza spokesperson, the Forever 21 occupied that space for 10 years. Prior to that, it was Mervyn's. The Forever 21 has been reportedly closed since 2023.
