A new venue that blends the energy of a sports bar with the excitement of immersive gameplay is about to make its local debut: Called Batbox<\/a>, it’s opening at 5100 Belt Line Rd. #620, Dallas, at Addison’s Village on the Parkway, and according to a release, will open on October 15.<\/p>\n

Batbox was founded in 2019 in Mexico, and has locations in Tijuana and Monterrey. Their formula consists of a state-of-the-art batting simulator \u2014 like a high-tech batting cage, similar to Top Golf \u2014 combined with food and drink, plus wall-to-wall screens for sports viewing. This is the first location<\/a> in the U.S.<\/p>\n

The venue has 10 interactive baseball simulators where guests swing real bats, hit real baseballs, and compete in a connected network that links players around the world.<\/p>\n

A ball is pitched your way, and you hit it with a bat against a screen that looks like a baseball field.<\/p>\n

Unlike a batting cage, the game allows participants to play in groups of up to 18, competing in teams in regular 9-inning games. The technology keeps score of hits and strike-outs, giving the feel of a real baseball game.<\/p>\n

“Batbox Dallas combines the energy of a premier sports bar with the excitement of the most innovative baseball game ever created,” says Batbox co-founder and CEO Jose Daniel Vargas in a statement. “It’s a place where you can catch the big game, enjoy incredible food and drinks, and then step up to bat yourself to create memories with friends and family.”<\/p>\n

Food & drink
The menu<\/a> features casual dishes and shareable options, all priced under $20, with many fresh choices.<\/p>\n

That includes salads such as Caesar, wedge, charred Brussels salad, chicken tender salad, and a whole cauliflower head, roasted, with buffalo and blue cheese dressing.<\/p>\n

Starters include classics like chips & cheso, wings, and nachos, but also some inventive items such as “frickles” \u2014 extra crispy pickle fries with BBQ sauce and ranch dressing; and a Tater Tot “sandwich” with Tater Tots smushed between “waffle bread.”<\/p>\n

There are tacos in five varieties including salmon, shredded beef, and vegan mushroom with avocado. There’s a smashburger, a vegan smashburger, a fried chicken sandwich, and a smoked brisket jalapeno hot dog. They come with choice of side from fries, mac & cheese, Tater Tots, or a highly recommended seasoned “baseball popcorn.”<\/p>\n

Cocktails are $13, with an emphasis on tequila drinks.<\/p>\n

The venue will be open daily, with extended hours on Fridays and Saturdays. Reservations can be made at batbox.com\/plan<\/a>, with simulators ranging from $18-$24 per hour per player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new venue that blends the energy of a sports bar with the excitement of immersive gameplay is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3797,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[4262,3613,423,160,162,161,154],"class_list":{"0":"post-3796","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-plano","8":"tag-bars","9":"tag-food-drink","10":"tag-openings","11":"tag-plano","12":"tag-plano-headlines","13":"tag-plano-news","14":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3796"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3796\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3797"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3796"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
