Sneak preview: Dave and Buster's at Ellsworth Place in Silver Spring (Video+photos)

Dave and Buster's, opening Monday, November 21 at Ellsworth Place mall in downtown Silver Spring, is making a grand return to Montgomery County. The popular restaurant and entertainment center closed just a few years ago at White Flint Mall, which has since been demolished.

The new Silver Spring D&B is larger than the Arundel Mills location, and features multiple private event rooms, and spacious dining areas. There is a large sports-themed space that will feature the biggest sporting events every day and night of the week on multiple screens. And, of course, there is the main attraction - the arcade and prizes.

But sharing the bill at this location is a new emphasis on high-quality casual American food, and a massive list of craft beer and cocktails, many of the latter exclusive to Dave & Buster's.

The first exterior signage for the highly-anticipated Dave & Buster's has been installed at Ellsworth Place mall in downtown Silver Spring. Dave & Buster's is currently expected to open on November 20.

Also just added, a prime new facade sign spot for F21 Red, which interestingly spells out Forever 21 in red as well as the F21 name. It's located right under the clock on the historic former Hecht's department store facade.

Dave & Buster's has announced its new downtown Silver Spring location will open at Ellsworth Place this November. They are now hiring for all positions at the dining and entertainment center, more than 260 jobs in all.

Since closing at White Flint Mall after the landowner pulled the plug on its successful, fully-leased retail center, Dave & Buster's has upped its culinary game. Diners at the new Silver Spring restaurant will enjoy dishes like Angry Orchard BBQ Chicken, and Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp with Lobster Sauce and Fire-Grilled Sirloin.

Cocktail connoisseurs can choose from tiki drinks, the Original CoronaRita, adult snow cones, the Strawberry Watermelon Margarita poured over strawberry ice cubes, Glow Kones featuring a multicolored, flashing cube, and the all-new Luxe L.I.T.’s.

The Ellsworth Place location's Million Dollar Midway will feature games like Star Trek and Star Wars Battle Pod, plus D&B exclusives like Ghostbusters. Tickets won won't be redeemed for junk prizes, but rather, Apple products, Xbox games, sports memorabilia and more.

Dave & Buster's also promises "better than the stadium seating" for Redskins, Nationals, and D.C. United games, with the massive HD TVs in their Sports Bar area.

An in-person job application site will open October 19 at the Hampton Inn at 8728 Colesville Road. Interviews will be held Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

Silver Spring construction update: Dave & Buster's (Photos)

There's still a long, long way to go on the interior build-out of Dave & Buster's at Ellsworth Place mall in downtown Silver Spring. But I get a lot of emails asking when Dave & Buster's will open, so I know readers would like an update on the construction. The restaurant and amusement arcade will open in late summer or fall at this point.

The interior buildout of Dave & Buster's at Ellsworth Place mall in downtown Silver Spring continues. Once open, Dave & Buster's will seal the deal on Silver Spring's emergence as arguably the most energetic nighttime destination in Montgomery County, along with the revitalized mall, Veterans Plaza, the AFI Silver and Regal Majestic theatres, and The Fillmore.

Dave & Buster's arrives to Ellsworth Place after the closure of another location, which was in the now-demolished White Flint Mall.
