Vermin infestation forces closure of popular Dave & Buster's in Hollywood

A pest issue has abruptly halted activities at Dave & Buster’s in Hollywood.

The much-loved arcade and dining spot was forced to close its doors temporarily after the Los Angeles County Health Department identified a “significant” infestation at its Hollywood Boulevard location.

The inspection report also highlighted issues such as unsanitary handling of utensils, plumbing defects, and hazards related to flooring and ceilings.

Sky5 aerial shots revealed the closed venue on Tuesday, a stark contrast to its usual lively atmosphere filled with games, food, and drinks.

There is no confirmed date for when the venue will reopen, as attempts to reach the business on Tuesday were unsuccessful.

This isn’t the only establishment under scrutiny, as it joins a growing number of Los Angeles venues cited for health violations.

The upscale Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in Marina Del Rey was forced to close in February due to a vermin infestation.

The same critters also led to the closure of ritzy rooftop restaurant Elephante in Santa Monica that same month
