I was excited to try this place because I’ve never been. We walked in and were greated right away. Got some bowling shoes and paid for a lane then grabbed some drinks and ordered food.

We took our drinks back to our table and honestly the drinks weren’t that great.. my friend just got a vodka redbull to recover from the fail of our first round of drinks.

We ordered the southwest burger with bacon and the bang bang shrimp bao. The burger was super messy, greasy and pretty bland.. the fries were pretty decent at first then got super salty as I ate them so I ended up just eating the bacon off my burger. I got a side of ranch with it and the ranch was pretty watery with lots of dill in to. It was okay ranch but it was just so watery I had to be careful dipling my fries because it was dripping everywhere.

Ranch score: 6.2/10

The bang bang shrimp was just a bit too sweet for our liking. It was fried okay but put on a plate that took way too much rokm up on our table.. the breading wasn’t season so all the flavor came from the over sweetened sauce on it. Needless to say we didn’t finish our food..

The inside was super fun and there were a lot of activities to do and the inside was huge. We bought a card for the arcade but there weren’t a lot of games and we barely used it. And the small log tables weren’t too practical. The couches were so slippery and it made it comfortable to sit since the tables were so low.

A good place but not the best food or drinks. Glad I tired it but I wouldn’t come back

Waitress name is Airie. Very polite and knowledgeable about menu for the questions I asked. I ended up ordering the BBQ bacon burger with rosemary fries and adding a side salad with the shallot and thyme dressing.

The first thing that I really liked was that the cups wide mouth mason jars! And the water pitcher is an old style glass milk jug or orange juice container. Very very nice touches I thought. After settling in we started noticing a little bit more of the layout of the atmosphere which is kind of cool and industrial looking. It’s really just stripped down there but with some nice lighting fixtures and some half split log tables for where we were seated.

The salad came out first and the shallots of time dressing was very light yet still very tasty!

The burger came in a small cast iron skillet, which I love as a presentation! The burger didn’t have a whole lot of taste to it, but it was cooked the way that I like and paired with the Rosemary fries was pretty good. Someone else from the party had ordered a dish that had some coleslaw on it and whenever I took some of that and added that to the burger it really set it off very well. Highly recommend if you have that opportunity. That whole combination, even if it’s not the usual, was very very tasty!

All in all, my experience was really good. I could totally see hanging out at this place for a while. Drinking some beers and just chilling.

I gave it a five star overall because I did really enjoy it. I did give a little bit of a deduction to four stars on the food because I did have to kind of mix and match a few things to really make it stand out and that cost a little bit extra but overall with the way my experience went, the trip deserves the five stars.

Super fun place to go to for a date or with friends. They have a lot of card / board games you can use for free. Excellent service (we had Jeremy he was super cool!). Good music. Bowling, a ping pong table & more.

Food was super tasty, and affordable. We went there to check out music bingo on a Saturday early afternoon and had a lot of fun. The waitress we had was very nice and attentive. Many buses and trolleys go very close so that’s what we did.

Been here a number of times only because I live right near by. Besides the greeters, the staff are usually somewhere between grumpy and agro. The food isn’t great but the happy hour prices are good. The games are a mixed bag depending on what you’re looking for. But honestly it’s not worth dealing with the bad vibes you’ll catch from the bartenders.

Went to Punch Bowl Social with a group of 30+ friends and had an amazing time. The staff reserved an entire floor just for us, with food and drinks ready to go. Service was friendly and organized, and everything ran smoothly—no small feat for a group our size.

After eating and sipping, we jumped into the many games available, which made it easy for everyone to mingle and have fun. The atmosphere is lively, the space is roomy, and there’s something for every kind of guest.

Great spot for a night out with friends or team events. Highly recommended!

Super cool spot to hang out during the week or special events! It works great for big gathering. We tried the karaoke room it was very small but it was also very fun & functional we were allowed to eat &drink in there. I had a blast & will definitely be back. The problem in the beginning is we spent over 10 minutes waiting for help & the front desk. The spot was not busy on a Sunday evening…however no one was literally around anywhere! We had to go deep inside to find a random worker over at the bowling shoes station ‍♂️ well forgiven cause drinks were awesome ! Super different, everything is aesthetic & also the service after that was awesome!

Horrible experience here. There were 3 tables seated on a Sunday night and our server was just terrible. I ordered myself a drink and it took 45 minutes to get the drink. The server kept trying to make me feel stupid saying she already told me there was an issue with the tickets going in but I went to the bar and they had no idea my order was even placed. I ordered another drink and the same thing happened. I ordered a few more drinks at the end of the night and even with NO TABLES and a few people at the bar they never got me my drink order (that was placed before another person in my group who ordered food to go). To no one’s surprise the food came and my drinks never did. Unsure the servers name but she had pink and green hair and zero sense of urgency and was just chatting with her friend. She was also shady not giving me the option to choose my tip after tapping my card. The manager told me he was going to refund me for the $70 but surprise surprise that never happened. I wanted to like this place and have fun playing games and return for another work party but after the absolutely horrendous service I will not be returning. Give me my money back like you told me. If you are willing to make it right I will consider editing my review and returning one day.

Was super excited to come here for the first time. Brought my whole family, young and old to the venue with hopes to do some bowling or karaoke. Was dismayed to be told that the wait for karaoke was four hours. Put my name on the bowling list and that was three hours long! We were there with a child (who isn’t allowed after 10PM) and arrived at 6, so we were looking at having to hang around until well past when kids were allowed just to do the activities we wanted to do. (let alone well past their bedtime).

Ultimately, I struggled to put my finger on why I was so dissatisfied and will never return and determined that the venue was not good enough as a bar to be worth coming just for drinks, was likely not good enough for food to be a venue to seek for food, was not good enough for games to be more appealing than say the likes of Dave and Buster’s, and was clearly not capable of being good enough to even be able to provide the likes of karaoke or bowling to beat venues that specialize in those things to be appealing.

The craziest thing of all was the second floor karaoke room was empty and vacant. So they clearly don’t prioritize these activities and clearly want to bring people on the door to buy alcohol and food vice the other activities. Unfortunate, because I really wanted to like this place. I can’t see coming back.
