    We had come to drink. We wanted to try one of their bowls. So we started with Steal my Sunshine punch. It was devine. Two of us tried their bowl for 4. I highly recommend starting there!

    A lively atmosphere. Food is reasonably good. Prices for bowling are $14/hour/person after 3pm. Shoes are included at no extra charge. I feel like they should have some more arcade game options. There is a large parking lot that offers free parking. Drink selection is reasonable, but not as large as some other establishments. Lots of 20-somethings here (not as condusive to a family). Lots of profanity being used by some patrons.

    The Reuben was awesome, and I enjoyed the horchata cocktail. The waiters came by a little too often, not a big deal. The darts were closed due to a private event and all other table games were unavailable with no time limit, so you wouldn’t know when they’d become available. Also, there is only one table for each game. We decided to try the arcade games which we had to buy a card for, and some were broken and stole our credits.

    Last minute decision to come here on Friday night. Glad we came. Very spacious with plenty of places to sit. Our server was awesome and very attentive. I was impressed with the quality and taste of the food at The Punch Bowl. Not your average bar fare. Even the healthy choices were incredible. A tip of the hat to the chefs.

    We just had the best time. We bowled and ate lunch . We went around noon on a Sunday and it wasn’t crowded. The service is terrific. There are so many things to do. We will definitely be going back.

    Excellent place to hang out! Went for a networking event and ended up having tons of fun playing with the various game options distributed around the place and had a great meal with mexican food. Beverages are average, bathrooms are clean. Overall a good experience.

    Such a cool space! I went with some friends for brunch, and though the menu is small, everything we got was delicious! I got the avocado and cucumber sandwich with chips on the side. I dipped the chips in their, come back sauce, their signature house sauce, and it was amazing! As I walk to the restroom, I walked past their other bar area, the bowling alley a little fireplace of Jenga in front of it and more. I went on a Friday afternoon and it was relatively empty. However, I can imagine how on a Friday or Saturday night it probably gets pretty packed.

    Mothers Day social. The food was SUB-PAR! The waffles were dry, & the steak & potatoes were completely tasteless! Definitely more bar than restaurant. The music was very loud, & your choice of water was sparkling, bottled, or tap, in a mason jar, no ice. Our server was pleasant, but she left us alone for over an hour. My husband & son hadn't had their food even then. She comped their orders.

    Great place for us to eat with our family! The staff was very kind and helpful as this was our first time here. Big place with good food. We really liked the queso dip and rosemary and parm fries!! My husband and I got chicken and carnitas tacos. His tacos were better then mine because the of the seasonings and Chipotle sauce that came with it along with the corn tortillas. I liked my chicken tacos but they were a bit dry, nothing lime juice and some of the Chipotle sauce didn't fix!:) my daughters fried chicken, potatoes and green beans were soo good!! The seasoning on her fried chicken was delicious! To the point we were going to order another to take home lol!! My son's quesadilla was ok, the chicken wasn't seasoned at all, but we chalk that up too it's for kids so they probably didn't want to overwhelm a childs pallet or due to allergies. It was ok and he ate it just fine. Staff was great, place was clean with a great have a time good time vibe!! We will be back!:)

    The atmosphere was fun, though it's likely that a lit of the activities will be reserved for private events. We had some good (weakish) drinks, good food (hearty portions), and fun times. As the night wore on, the crowd got younger and louder.

    Came here for my birthday and had the best time! Me and my partner don't drink but they have a decent non alcoholic menu and the food was good too! Free dessert for your bday 😊 and the sweet potato chowder is a hidden gem. Flavor is on point! Blake the manger is so kind and thoughtful and the staff on that night were great too....shout out to Brie and Arianna! Really just good vibes all around the night we went. Thanks for sharing your energy and stories with us. Made our night super special 💯

    My boyfriend and I came here, very hungry. Roberto was our waiter, and he was very nice and accommodating! They were out of steak and fries, completely. That really sucked. And it did take awhile from the tone we got there, to the tone we actually got our food. But I got the Salmon, and it was delicious.

    Surprised with this place! I thought the vibe, drinks, and food were all good and a bit better than expected. But nothing was totally stellar in my opinion. It just feels very “commercial” if that makes sense - perhaps a very subjective take.

    This place was pretty fun to spend a few hours eating and messing around at. The prices for the activities are a little high but the food is really good and the staff was really friendly and helpful.

    Great brunch spot! Friendly staff and very reasonably priced dishes. Highly suggest the Bloody Mary bar. We stopped in while visiting from Seattle and staying with friends and we’re thoroughly impressed.

    Spacious, fun atmosphere. Colorado bison patty melt is done well (although a bit salty). Fries could be better but overall, a great place to grub or play.

    We stopped in for a late lunch today and we were pleasantly surprised. Plenty of room to space out from other diners. Not a menu selection but plenty to choose from. I had Carolina BBQ and it was very good. The service was excellent and the place was very clean. The place is huge complete with 8 planes for bowling. Amazing.

    Came for a business event. I had the Tea Sour for my cocktail. Very light and refreshing. It was definitely popular amongst our group, because I think I counted at least 4 other orders with the group. The waitress always seemed delayed, but I'm not sure if she was overwhelmed with too many tables/areas to cover. Food is just okay. You come for the quirky spaces and activities.

    Held an office party at Punch Bowl Social and it was a great experience. Everyone had a good time, and the food was amazing. Cassie was lovely to work with and was very communicative and patient as we planned the party. I have also been here countless times socially and have always had fun and a great experience.

    This particular Punch Bowl is nice but lacks some of the atmosphere other locations we have visited seem to have honed in on. The food is decent and has good flavor however I did find the portioning to be a little left wanting more. I had the bison chili fries and while they were good, there was far too much cheese sauce compared to the amount of chili. I feel as if I barely had any chili to go with the mountain of fries. Drinks and beer were tasty. Over the service was great, we were just left wanting a bit more out of the space.

    This is a great place for fun, dining, and drinks. Don’t reserve on open table. You’ll be waiting 20minutes (after your reservation time) to get a table that was reserved for you. Seems like instead of placing us at another table they waited for that specific table, this took away from the experience. Our server was so sweet and so efficient. Food wasn’t good but it definitely was not bad. I feel like systems for reservations and equipment checkout should be improved on.

  • 3/5 Jason P. 1 year ago on Google
    We spent a few hours between the restaurant, bowling and darts and almost every time had to hunt down our waitress (we had 3 different waitresses). They made mistakes on 2 orders, rarely checked in on our table and acted as if we were an annoyance when we finally tracked them down. The cocktails were decent and the burgers were good, but the service was slow and more importantly, not helpful (hostess excluded - she was great). If you need to kill some time and love ping pong, bowling, darts, etc...then consider stopping by. Just expect slow and unfriendly service.

  • 5/5 Peter S. 1 year ago on Google
    We've been probably four or five times to this location over the last years, and it's always a blast. We went again last night, and we had a great time. The food is really good. The atmosphere is really fun; there are so many things to do. The drinks are fantastic. It's a great place to spend time and have some fun.

  • 5/5 Melody W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great restaurant and bowling alley! Went here for a work event and it was good fun. Pros: The mixed drinks felt like a great price for the amount of drink you received. The food was delicious and felt like a good price. Clean bathrooms. Easy parking. Respectful courteous staff! Cons: None

  • 4/5 Gabriela Sousa G. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a blast at this place, I'm only giving 4 stars because we reserved a bowling lane but getting there the lane was broken and we couldn't play BUT the staff was quick by offering a solution for it. Instead of bowling we played arcade games, pool...
