"When not booked out for a corporate event, this two-level eat-and-play venue in the Battery Atlanta is a great place to bring family and friends for a more interesting pub-quality meal. In between bites of loaded fries, you can tackle everything from Nippy’s “One Moment in Time” to Nipsey’s “Dedication” in one of their private karaoke rooms. Or, if you prefer hitting pins to high notes, there’s bowling—but also ping pong, darts, and other table games. With big central bars on both levels and waiters who service the game areas, a stiff drink is never out of reach. And you can opt for the massive four- and eight-serving punch bowl cocktails to keep your crew quenched (plus, who would dare sing Whitney with a dry throat?)." - Nina Reeder

"Think of Punch Bowl a more grownup Dave & Buster’s. While there’ll be plenty of families with kids during the day, 30-somethings in slacks will take over the place at night. They’re there not just for the bowling, bocce ball, and karaoke, they’ll also be enjoying a limited selection of video game staples alongside craft cocktails and elevated bar food like shrimp burgers and cocoa dusted carnitas tacos. Don’t worry, they also have Hamm’s, wings, and nachos." - Will Simons

"Punch Bowl Social in The Domain has a bit of a “bar in a mall” feel, but it’s easy to look past that once you see the pinball, skeeball, darts, ping pong, pool, and bowling. It’s the perfect place to come with a bunch of friends to feel like you’re having your seventh birthday party all over again, but without the sheet cake with your face on it, unfortunately. And once you’ve all had enough of being competitive, you can head into one of their private karaoke rooms to sing your favorite Oasis songs together." - Adele Hazan

What a pleasant surprise! As out-of-towners from Tucson, we decided to grab a late lunch at Punch Bowl Social, and it was truly wonderful. We had an amazing time enjoying some scrumptious chicken and waffles and bowling with the kids. What a fantastic way to unwind and spend quality time with family! The service was outstanding—our server was an absolute gem, and the entire staff was top-notch. Highly recommend for a fun family outing!

Great place for group games and food. Service was good and staff is very friendly. We had a big group and they were great with bringing food and drinks out. We played games after eating and had a good time, they also have some arcade games to play alone. They have a fun Photo Booth back by the restrooms. It wasn’t busy since we were there during the weekday so I could see it being really busy on weekends. Worth checking out if you want some good food and a place to hang out and play games!

I enjoyed my lunch time with some tasty food. First time here and definitely will be back. I was greeted by a gentleman named Cello and his infectious smile and upbeat attitude added to my great experience. Had some waffle and chicken which hit the spot and was well executed (Cello recommendation). A couple beers and some good food with great service. Great lunch experience.

i usually don’t leave reviews on businesses but our bartender Rodney absolutely deserved one! they were so incredibly sweet and treated my cousin and i amazingly in helping celebrate my 21st :) such great vibes and even better drinks. i also love how inclusive punch bowl social is— it made me feel very comfortable and welcomed. i can’t wait to come back and try the food and more yummy drinks again soon!

There are lots of game choices on site that you buy a card to scan at each game. This can add up quickly, especially if you bring young kids. The food was quite good and came out fast and reasonably priced. Our server was just ok. She didn't seem overly in love with her job. Be sure to utilize the free underground parking ramp!

To start, let's be clear that the food was absolutely delicious. I would absolutely eat here again. We ordered the chicken and waffles and the tacos, and both were very tasty! Chloe was the server we had and she was pretty good at tending to the table, although I never got a receipt after I paid and then realized that our dinner came out to $90+ for chicken and waffle, tacos, 3 mixed drinks and a diet coke. That is absolutely insane. Idk if there was a forced gratuity included on this charge or if there were additional things added to my purchase but that was extremely disappointing and appalling to see. We moved onto bowling afterwards. The atmosphere was great and we had a lot of fun, how ever if you want to actually bowl this is absolutely not the lanes to do it on. The ball holes had sharp edges and were not drilled with multiple sizes therefore if a lady would like to throw an 8lb ball which is common she would have to havr the hands of a 6 year old. There was 10 minutes left on the screen and our lane wouldn't let me finish the 10th frame. I wasn't overly concerned cause I knew were were done anyways. The server in the bowling area I didn't catch their name but that's no surprise since I only saw her once when she got the group shots. Btw, shots are $12. Im not a drinker so I am not familiar with shot prices especially in the city, but I know that for that price for 2 shots I could buy a bottle... Anyways, there are plenty of fun things to do here and it was certainly enjoyable. I'll eventually go back brcausr the food was very good, but next time ill review the charges prior to allowing them to run my payment.

Loved, loved, loved my experience at Punch Bowl. Restaurant itself is super spacious. Food was wonderful, and our server, Jackie was fabulous. She was super attentive, she's a good listener, and just has a lovely personality. She brought everything together by making it an enjoyable dining experience for us. Felicia was helpful as well. I highly recommend Punch Bowl and I too will be a return customer.

This place was a fun atmosphere with a lot going on and I mean a lot! From music bingo, to bowling and all the way to a photo shoot area with streamers (unless there was just a special occasion going on). I do wish there was a few more pool tables (only had one) but I am biased. The service was also great, mind you it was slow when I went as by evidence of the video lol but still happy with out waitress. The food was fine. Nothing fancy about it or anything to rave about. Burger was messy but tasty, the hummus was not to my liking since I’m not a fan of cumin but the fries were good. I would go back for the great alcohol selection and fun environment though.

I came here during a weekday to meet my co-workers for happy hour. I have not been here before so I wasn't sure what to expect. It is a wonderful place for a happy hour and there is something for everyone. If you wanted to be more on the active side, there are bowling alleys, skee ball games, bocce ball, arcade games, etc. The place was so large I did not have a chance to explore the whole place. We decided to sit down and grab something to drink and eat instead. The menu had a good variety of options and prices were very reasonable for the portions you receive. And for the non-drinkers, there is a nice cocktail menu as well. The food was very tasty and we were happy with everything that we ordered. We got the hummus, rosemary fries, bbq pork sliders, pretzel bites and nachos. The restaurant is slightly nostalgic and a throwback to the 80's. Lots of people so the ambience is lively but can be a bit loud if you're trying to have a conversation. As this is in a large outdoor shopping mall, the parking is underground so you'll have to walk a little bit to get to the restaurant. I had fun and would come back for another happy hour.

I ended up here with a friend and it was a dead night but they had trivia. The place is very large and has bowling, darts, as well as all types of other games. We did not play any games because we were just catching up. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were very nice they have a large selection of beer and cocktails but if you are a wine drinker this is not the place for you. There is a limited amount and canned wine??@!? Yes, you read that right. The food was actually surprisingly good. The Brussels sprouts came in a giant serving and were packed with flavor. The wings were juicy and not the anorexic ones you get in some places. The tacos were very tasty as well. The beans well could use some help but were just a side to the tacos. Overall the food was very good. The portion size was large. The bar had some sort of tiki-like feel with the bartenders dressed in Hawaiian shirts. The mood was kinda dead because it was a weeknight but trivia was going on keeping it alive. This location also has underground parking very close by so you can park for free and just walk around.

I've been to the Punchbowl Social several times. I can appreciate the underground parking and all the activities Ambiance 3/5 (for this particular event) Fun environment from bowling, karaoke, darts, and games. This occasion was a Galantine's event which sectioned off in the back. The registration was somewhat confusing and I was redirected to the front after coming to the sectioned off event. Decorations were cute, bracelet table, heart sunglasses, and the photo booth was our favorite. The space was very limited, outside of the bar seating, it was tight. They should really invest in some decent sized tables outside of the small logs tables which barely held anything. Service 4/5 The staff was friendly however they had one man working the event which was unfortunate because he was clearly stretched thin attempting to assist everyone. The drinks took awhile and arrived at different times for each of us- although he kept us in the loop the whole time. Food and drinks 4/5 Never disappoints, I ordered Quesadillas, 2 drinks and water. We were disappointed the ticket didn't come with a complimentary drink. Drinks were cute and tasty in line w/the theme. Cost 2/5 Tickets plus tax $20 Food $80 including tip. Overall I give the event 2/5 because we could have just as well showed up to Punch Bowl and had the same experience, minus the photo booth which was the highlight for us. Outside of that, we brought games, space was very limited, and they didn't have enough servers. We would go back to Punch Bowl however wouldn't repeat this event. It felt like a waste of money to be honest. Our server was wonderful!

A fun place to meet up with friends for a night out! The service is nice and the menu is unique. We ended up getting one of their punch bowls and it was fantastic! The appetizers of fries and queso were delicious. The atmosphere is fun here and I'd say it's the perfect place to start a night out. It's even better that you can pay your tab via QR code to expedite the process!

My brother and sister were in town and we decided to have some brunch on a Saturday. We parked in the parking garage at the West End in St Louis Park and walked into a blustery and cold day outside. We entered the establishment, and it is HUGE! They have a bowling alley, bags and it seems like 4 bars. We sat down at ten on a Saturday and it was pretty empty. I ordered a Surly Furious and they have a brunch menu, but I ordered off of the regular menu, a Rueben and they let me sub a side salad for the fries. I loved that. The food came out and it was plentiful, and the Rueben was delicious, lots of meat and sauerkraut and dressing and just great. The salad was spectacular as well with wonderful Caesar dressing on the side. We had lots of laughs and just a fantastic time. My only complaint is that it was a little pricey, but a great lunch overall.

I have always wanted to check out Punch Bowl Social. I finally was able to stop in there for a quick bite to eat before heading to the #B1GWBBT last weekend. I loved the environment. The energy was fun and inviting, these shrimp tacos were fresh and tasty, and the cocktail selection sounded delicious as well. I could totally see this being a blast as a date night or a fun time out with friends. Looking forward to when I can spend a little more time there exploring the games and menú.

Food: We did a corporate event and we tried almost all of the appetizers on the list! They were all divine. Such a fun variety of items and vegetarian dishes too. Favorites were the chicken quesadilla and OMG the brussel sprouts. and the lovely warm breads made to order. the dinner menu looked fabulous and we will be back to try it all. just knowing how amazing the apps were is enough info to know that everything else will be amazing as well. Ambiance: Very hip and fun. Gorgeous spaces and lots of different nooks and crannies. Beautiful bar and bowling area. Fun games available with a game card. Service: Steller in the restaurant and bar area. The waiters were attentive and on top of it and very flexible with our plans of wanting to bowl after appetizers. All of the waiters and waitresses were so kind to us. We did have a LOT of issues with the bowling area. It was disappointing because when you are paying that much money, and when you have lots of important high paid guests for a very short time in the evening... and you are sitting there for 30 mins trying to figure out how to get the bowling to start? We had to get the attendant about 5 times and honestly that was unacceptable. It was very frustrating. Everyone else's lanes were working fine. And it added insult to injury for the woman to be annoyed with us that our bowling lane wasn't working - she just kept saying it will work. But it didn't. Exhausting. I know she wasn't responsible for bowling not working but she didn't seem to have the skill or patience to really figure it out once and for all or even come over to our bowling area. The only other negative thing: if you are at the bowling area, there is NOT a server that would come over and take your drink order (or food order). You can to go to the bar and order your drink and put it on the tab. It just made it a lot of back and forth in an already crowded and busy place. I would recommend sending a waiter over to the bowling area to take orders and clear plates. All in all it was a great expereience with incredible food. But the group events need some work and more coordination to make the night more smooth and less frustrating.

We had a company event here with educators and it was so fun! Our server, Becca, was super attentive and sweet and everyone was happy. We had giant jenga and connect four for folks to play. For other activities, there is a fee. We really wanted to ping pong table but someone already reserved it. The food was also pretty good. The mocktails were SO good!! Thank you for hosting us!

I'm not sure really what to say about this place...I guess the best description I can say is that it's kind of a fun place to hang around but you're going to pay for it? I got these wings, thinking that for $15, I'll most certainly get a small basket right? Nope, I got SIX wings. I realize it's on the shareable menu but six? I would need 2 of these for a decent meal. The saving grace is they were pretty good, but not $2.75 per wing good.

This was our first time at Punchbowl social we went there for New Year's Eve party event. We purchased VIP tickets to bowl , Jenga, foosball, and a lot of other little cute games. We also had buffet of food and free drinking tickets. With a glass of champagne and a confetti gun. This is such a cute place I loved it. I definitely would advise people to go there for any kind of adult birthday party or work event that they would throw for a group of people. Parking was very easy they have their own parking garage with the elevator. It was the best way to bring a New Year's Eve without the pressure of getting super dressed up and being uncomfortable. We had the best time and the food was great. I will definitely be returning. 10/10

I came here for a work holiday party and it's the perfect spot for big groups. They have bowling, karaoke, and various games throughout the facility. It's quite big in the inside with lots of seating. There is underground parking perfect for the cold months and an elevator to take you directly to Punch Bowl but it can be confusing since the signage isn't the best. As far as the food the portions are big and their drinks are good but pricey. Plus our group didn't know this but there is a 90 minute limit on your table especially on busy nights. Our server was great for our table of 15 and then there's an automatic charge with big groups of 18% immediately added to your tab. I got the quesadilla and strawberry daiquiri which were both good!

My first visit to Punch Bowl Social - 4 stars. There are hundreds of well written reviews so I'll keep mine short. I enjoyed Punch Bowl. The food was good and the restaurant is beautiful. I'm also impressed by the size and the special events areas - this place is HUGE. LOW CARB: It was easy to eat low carb at Punch Bowl. I started with an order of Cilantro Wings. They were great. I also got the Knockoff Burger. I threw away the bun and the fries. I expected some relatively bland beef patties but I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. The sauce and the shredded lettuce made it taste nearly identical to a McDonald's "Big Mac"...except better quality. Thumbs up. -Maxx

Got the Peanut Sriracha fries for a quick bite and it was way overly seasoned with hoisin sauce. I had to asked for it to be replaced with less and unfortunately it just came back the same, and I just didn't bother with it. Drinks are amazing! Plenty of games to choose from and good hangout spot on the weekends.

Very large space for socializing with friends. Certainly not family friendly, tables are set up in a Beer Garden style, high tops and communal tables for large groups. It was hard to find a table with service so we grabbed a seat at the bar when it opened up. Bar counter could have been cleaner. It was very sticky and unattractive even with the Sami bucket in clear sight. Our bartender was busy but also un attentive to our party of two. We got his attention and ordered a beer and cocktail. Beer was nice and cold, cocktail was almost silly 4-5oz for $16. OrderedCrispy Fish sandwich with fried. It was so taster, bread was semi cold and wish the food was hotter, same for the fries. Upon walking to the restroom you could see the venue needs a deep cleaning, sticky tables, sticky clothes, at least have a bus set cleaning throughout the service. Security guards were nice and friendly, music was great, lighting was dim which I always love for a meeting spot. Overall would come for pregame but not for a dinner stay.

Mother's Day Brunch was a disaster. Everyone at our table got their food except the mother, then the waitress didn't return for 10 minutes. When she returned she said that she forgot to enter the order and asked if we still wanted it. She said that she could just bring some chips and guacamole. The manager came over and apologized, but it was a little late for that. Not going back. Thanks Maya!

The food was unique and tasted great! The environment was really enjoyable and open concept so it didn't feel so crowed and each group could have their own space. The Photo Booth was a fun add on I haven't seen before. There's bowling and arcade games too. Our server was good however the bartenders seemed too busy and there was a long wait to be greeted at the bar. Overall it was a good experience.

Yelp
This place is good. It's crowded but it's the best place to have food drinks and some game time. The menu had some good options and loved the food. The cocktail drinks could have been much much better. I ordered old fashioned and it's too strong. Food was delicious and photo session at this place dying nights is the best at the lighting they have. Overall it's a good place to visit with friends. They need to update there bowling alley though. Amazing ambience and well decorated place.

Yelp
Hubs and I went here for a date day and to have brunch before some bowling. We were seated quickly and had great service from host to server to bowling staff. The food was pretty good! I really liked the "frosé" - it was refreshing and not too sweet. The chicken and biscuits had a nice crunch to the chicken and the potatoes were to die for. Like deep fried mashed potatoes. The bowling was a let down. There isn't any service at the lanes and the system itself seems pretty cheaply made. The bowling balls would hit each other in the return shoot and just get stuck too far to reach them. There weren't enough balls for all of the people bowling so we had to share with strangers next to us and constantly sanitize our hands. The seats are torn up and in terrible shape. I think this area needs a massive refresh and rethink.

Yelp
The food was ok and so was the service. Not the best selection of food for the kids. I had the chicken and waffles and was not a fan of the big pieces of chicken. A little pricey for the quality of food. The drinks were great, and we loved sharing the Tiki Punch. It is very fun to get a drink and play games as a family. They have bowling, corn hole, ping pong, foosball and more. Overall a very cool place to hang out.

Shaun J.

Wow, love the food here! Not everyone can do chicken and waffles, but Punch Bowl can! I sat at the bar and the bar tender was great.

Yelp
The service is awful. They don't check in with their tables in a timely manner. The "bouncers" or security that walks through is so rude. This place shouldn't have social in its name as it is a dead beat bar along a popular road. DON'T GO HERE!

Yelp
Came here for Happy Hour during the week, and would definitely recommend as a great HH spot! Large and delicious menu of discounted apps and $5 drinks. I had a Skinny Margarita that was ok, but worth the $5 (I wouldn't have paid any more than that). Highly recommend the Carnitas Tacos & Cauliflower Nachos! Service was quick and the waitress was nice and accommodating. Definitely will be back for HH!

Punch Bowl Social in St Louis Park is an awesome spot to take friends to enjoy good food, fun games, draft beers and vibes. You can book a Karaoke room, go bowling, or book to play some of the othe games. Went with friends recently for dinner and we even got to squeeze some card games in. I got the Colorado Bison Patty Melt during my last visit- messy, greasy, flavorful and exactly how a patty melt should be. With roasted jalapenos and onions, gruyere cheese on marble rye and a side of horeseradishy comeback sauce, it was so good that It's already the top contender to be ordered whenever I return. I've been to PBS pre-pandemic as well, and the menu is definitely different than it was before (although I think the menu updates every so often). I had gone for happy hours with co-workers and a birthday party, and one of my favorite items were the boozy shakes, so I hope they bring those back.

A group of my friends and I went to watch the Super Bowl and we reserved a spot for the Super Bowl watch party. We were told we could sit anywhere. We sat down at a table in the back for 20 minutes, and we did not get served. We then went up to the bar to get drinks. In the two and a half hours we were there we were checked on twice. Every other table was being waited on around us and was constantly getting service, but our table was neglected. Due to the lack of service we were not asked if we wanted to order food or drinks, which resulted in us leaving. I have been to this restaurant several times before and I am extremely disappointed in the lack of costumer service.

Loved getting hassled by security through the door, but whatever. Prices are decent, atmosphere is slowly declining and music was ok. I would have preferred to have more options for music or even a DJ.

Cyndi M.

I came here with my boyfriend, and the service was not good at all! Not trying to be negative, but the entire staff was pretty crabby, and things were disorganized. We were not given a specific table to sit at. The host, who seemed to really not give a shit about us or anything, said we could sit anywhere. A server just never showed up, so we had to move to the bar, where someone finally noticed us. And mind you, it was at a slow time of day...so we will not be coming back here at any point.

Activity bar located in West End. Absolutely massive space and seems perfect for larger groups. Multiple sections/large tables. It seems like because of the pandemic not all the bars were open yet. Games (ping pong, corn hole, darts) and couple that you have to pay for (bowling, arcade games). Service was very very slow and they were out of a lot of alcohol (Titos, Jim Bean, Baileys, Blue Moon). Similar to other reviews, food was actually surprisingly good. Burgers- massive and comes with shoestring fries. A couple of different options to choose from. Chicken and Waffle- juicy chicken! Seems like it's one of their brunch staples that they've included on their dinner menu. Cauliflower Nachos- decently generous with toppings, it's just regular tortilla chips with some roasted cauliflower sprinkled on top. Overall pretty good! Chips and Gauc- standard Fries- really good! Order this for the table. Recommend coming here for date night if you're looking to do something besides eat/drink.

This is a fun place to get food, drinks, and hang out with friends. FOOD: I was impressed with the food. I got the roasted beet salad and added chicken which I assumed would be as underwhelming as restaurant salads can be. But it wasn't. It didn't have many beets but did have a lot of flavor. I didn't even have to use much dressing. I also ordered some fries to make the meal a bit more filling. They were also pretty good. AMBIANCE: It's a fun place. And very large. Some of the seating is a bit strange (the booth sits very low so the table is almost low chest height -- I'm an average height male for reference). And then in other areas the lighting was a bit strange (with specific red colored lighting). Aside from those oddities, it's got good energy and is spacious. PARKING: There's a lot of free parking in the garage but it is a few minutes to get from the garage in the door so plan an extra few minutes. SERVICE: Pretty good! The server was nice and responsive. No complaints.

I got into the Twin Cities for a work trip on a Sunday night. I needed a place to grab dinner near my hotel (the Holiday Inn Express in Golden Valley) and there weren't a ton of options. It wasn't at the top of my list to go to a place that has a location here in Milwaukee, but hunger and convenience won out. It was a solid experience. The plan was fairly busy for a Sunday night. I had a beer and a meal at the bar. The staff wasn't the most attentive and I would say was polite at best. I wasn't in a super hurry but would have appreciated a little more attentiveness. The Cuban sandwich I had was really good. I was teetering between 3 and 4 stars on this review because of the sandwich, but opting for 3 because of the tepid service.

I've had brunch on a weekday, lunch on a weekday and happy hour/dinner on both weekdays and weekend. This is important to note because I would recommend that you go earlier in the day if you have trouble with a lot of noise. Brunch was delicious and almost empty (we were there at 11 am on a Friday). This place is in West End so you'll be paying the West End prices. Great food great service. Didn't do any of the games but it seemed like a lot of fun especially if you have a larger group. Definitely think about getting a reservation if you'll be here during their busier times 5pm or later on any day. Food: the totally stacked tostada was oh so good! The sweet and spicy wings are flavorful, I don't think they're too spicy to handle. I also love their strawberry fizz mocktail.

Pleasantly surprised. I really liked this place, social place with awesome food. Only con is that they ran out of something I wanted to order. Best chicken and waffles I've ever had!

I reserved a table of 18 for a work dinner. A lot of places would be intimidated or reluctant to a group this size, but Punch Bowl Social embraces it. The space is huge - amazing for big groups. The menu has something for everyone - although more on the casual side. Our server was attentive, accommodating, and efficient. After our group dined there, they enjoyed many of the fun activities offered - bowling, arcade games, jenga, bags, etc. We had an awesome experience!

Natalie Y.

Yelp
I think this place deserves higher ratings on yelp because it is such a fun atmosphere with multiple activities such as cornhole, Kareoke, darts, pool, foosball, bowling etc- as well as great food and great service! I had such a fun time here and I love the setup here! Definitely a great place for a birthday, date night, or company mixer. We got the cauliflower nachos and they were delicious- and the service made this place even more fun and upbeat. Can't wait to bring friends here!

Server Izzy was a splendid. Made or evening out more enjoyable. Food was wonderful. The cookies were amazing! Will definitely come back and tell everyone to stop in and enjoy.

Had the weirdest experience at punch bowl social today. I came to get food and bowl, got added to the waitlist for bowling and was skipped because of a technical error on their end. The activities attendant was so rude even after i showed her proof that we never got the text that our lane was ready. What a waste of gas, money, and time. Yuck!

The drinks are all SO yummy here, but today I was totally blown away by this one: Night in Jalisco. Reposado tequila, orange syrup, fresh lime juice, and allspice dram. Fruity and light and blends SO well with the tequila. They change their menu seasonally, and it's always worth coming for. Nightlife here is decent too, GREAT place to bring friends - especially from out of town. Tommy was our server, drink was his rec - AMAZING!

Came by punch bowl by chance after some initial plans for a bday brunch didn't end up working out. We came on a Sunday and there was only one other table in use. Unfortunately didn't have a great experience. Had high hopes for the roast turkey and Brie melt but think the waffle bun threw me off and I ended up not enjoying it. I also found what seemed to be a shard of glass in the sandwich after taking a bite. They also don't do anything special for birthdays which was kind of a bummer. Giving 2 stars instead of 1 for the games afterwards that we had fun playing - you can find ping pong, bocce, darts, bowling, karaoke, billiards, and more on site.

I had our rehearsal dinner at Punch Bowl for our wedding and I couldn't recommend it more! It is a laid back, fun, and delicious option compared to a lot of other places around. The planning process was simple & the staff was very helpful. The event was all set up for us on the day & we were able to have a private spot reserved for us!

We went on a Saturday night and had a great time. We played scrabble and bowled. Our drinks were good, our server was ok, prices were high. It was busy and a mix of ages, which was nice. It is something fun to do in the area. We were staying at the Mall of America, so this was convenient with a short Lyft ride.

Wanted to check it out as we've never been to Punch Bowl Social. After shopping at Costco we decided to see what it's like. Sat at the round bar and as an artist, I found the decor intriguing and creative, and fun to see all it offers visually and for entertainment. We were interested to see the tv's for sport viewing and it seems to have good options. We chose the round bar in the corner and it was staffed with a friendly bartender named Michael. He was very welcoming and had such a kind and easy personality - it made us feel comfortable and welcomed and we appreciated it. I told him we had not visited before so he brought menus - took our drink order and made sure we were settled in. He made menu suggestions that truly seemed like delicious options and a bit out of the "ordinary". Brunch is served till 3 p.m. so good breakfast options. He likes the biscuits and gravy. We decided we just wanted a cold beer but we walked around and checked out the fun stuff to do and we plan to go back. A lot of the activities are free but some stuff is of course, a fee, like bowling and foos ball...etc.. Lots of activities are free. We'll definitely be back and try out what they have to offer! Fun place - great sound - good music and not uncomfortably loud at all. Appreciated it!

The agency I work for just hosted an event at Punch Bowl over the weekend. I cannot say enough about their work. They were FABULOUS! From the service, to the food, to the space and to the overall CARE of our experience and time, I have nothing but beautiful things to say. Their staff even supported our clean up efforts and really, truly, went above and beyond. We will be back and I'll be spreading the word! Much appreciated y'all. Well done!

First and foremost I have to say our server/bartender Byron (I hope I spelled that correctly) was AMAZING. They provided us such great service to not only us but the other around us! We did relay this information to the manager that was working but if you get a chance to interact with Byron you will not be disappointed! Overall the environment is exactly what it used to be pre-Covid which was great to see! The atmosphere during the happy-hour, hour was electric. It's very spacious with lots of room for larger parties, date night and happy hour! They also do have free underground parking. I'm regards to the food & drinks they were both very good! I got the Night in Jalisco & it was the right mix of sweet and strong. We also got the Rosemary & Parmesan Fries & Cilantro Wings, both of which are Gluten Free! I'm excited for my next trip back into Punch Bowl Social!!

Punch Bowl Social is one of our go-to spots for meeting up with friends. Great atmosphere and lots of entertainment options. Food and drinks are great but a little pricy. Our server last time (Dee I think was her name) was awesome. So friendly and worked her butt off running back and forth to our table of 10.

I went here for my birthday and it didn't disappoint. It's in a cute mall so it's perfect for walking around during the day time. However, when I went I went in the evening and they set us up at a large table and we ordered drinks while being surrounded by people playing the games they have set up. They have pin ball and shuffle board. There were people of all age ranges which was cool to see. For sure it is family friendly!

A fun place to host an event with out-of-towners. Had about 200 people in a reserved section where we had access to lots of games and our own bar. It was a lot of fun! Some space was a bit narrow and crowded for our size of a group, but there was space to spread out across different areas. The staff was attentive. I wish they had more of a variety of drinks ... but what they do have is good!
