Punchbowl is a fun place to hang out with friends or family. They have every game imaginable, from pool, to video games to bowling, and darts. They also have our favorite activity, karaoke. The food is pretty good and the cocktails are satisfying. Our bartender was very creative with her mixology and made great suggestions. Cant wait to go back!

A really fun spot to hang with a big group of friends. Really great cocktails and decent food. Similar to a Dave and busters but less crowded and with a more wholesome / less corporate feel. Extra points for spacing around the pool table and a sweet mini shuffle board

Love this place so incredibly much! Honestly, could not recommend a better place to get together with a friend, friends, or have a party. The staff here is AMAZING. I came here with my friends in May for my birthday, so I unfortunately don’t remember the main staff member’s name who helped us, but he was seriously incredible. He was attentive, energetic, and always on top of his game! Not a single drink or food item messed up.The food here? Amazing. The drinks? Even better. They’ve truly created an amazing atmosphere to relax, hang out, and play games at. Because let’s be real. We hung out on the balcony, we played giant Jenga, we played Air Hockey, there was bowling, we played arcade games, I could go on and on. If you’re looking for a chill, easy, and fun place to just hang out with a friend or few, then look no further, because this is it.

Top notch cocktails!Friendly bartenders.Nice atmosphere.2 fun bowling alleys (an 8 lane and a 4 lane).Some arcade games.Giant Jenga.Dart boards.Karaoke rooms.Exceptional food for catered special event/space rental.

Very happening and upbeat restaurant and bar social gathering. Greta food, wine, beer and cocktail choices. Helpful and young staff. Restaurant is located located inside the Pioneer Place Mall so its convenient to have bite and drink after your shopping.

Went on Friday night to celebrate my birthday. We all had such a great time! It was my first time going here too. The vibe was great! Food was good too. Some a bit too spicy. I had the chicken tacos which were so good! Our server, Ryan, was fantastic!!! It was like he was part of the party. Ill definitely be going back!

We came here for my friends birthday back in January. The food was alright and the area we were seated in was pretty empty. The prices were pretty comparable to what you would get in downtown Portland. But the service was lack luster. Our server made a rude comment to one of my friends about the way we were splitting the check and there was some confusion about explaining the menu too. The other area with the games and such seemed more active and so Id like to try and come again to give if another shot.

Great spot for a quick bite to eat before the movies. Awesome location right inside the mall. We went to grab some quick appetizers before heading to the movies. Service was surprisingly quick and the food was great. We had the garlic aioli fries and the pork tacos. Both were delicious. Fun and tasty spot.

Very chill place to hangout. Loved the servers that were taking care of my husbands company party. They made us feel very welcome. I havent bowled since I have been in my wheelchair and the servers were happy to help set me up with the ramp thing so I could participate.Excellent food and drinks. We will definitely have to return when he other side isnt closed down for an event also.

The food I tried ranged from very good to ok. The burger could have been a bit more flavorful. Standouts were the mocktails, the fries, and the highly attentive service! But really come here for all the fun you can have downtown.

Had a great time at a birthday party here. The atmosphere was fun and lively. They take up the entire floor at the mall, with a restaurant, multiple tv,s, bars, ping pong, shuffle board, bowling, pool, darts, and a bunch of retro arcade games. I was also very pleased with the food and the overall service. So take out some time to go with your family or friends and have an amazing time

Greeted at the door by friendly/knowledgeable staff who gave us the overview of the location, and made us feel comfortable to walk around and sit in any location we wanted to. They have bowling, arcades and pinball. We actually found a comfy place to sit, drink, and watch TV.

I have always had great time here. The place is huge, but the bowling are short mini lanes - still fun for the whole crew!Cool interior - very Portland hipster lumbersexual vibe. Service has always been good. Food is quite good. Get a spot outside to see downtown by a fire place.

Awesome place for adult fun. Ive been here twice now and had a blast. The only thing I did both trips was drink. Birthday party and office xmas party were both super fun 9/10 would would recommend

Lots of Gluten Free and Vegan choices if youre into that kind of thing. If youre just looking for a big burger or some sandwich to kill the appetite, best to go elsewhere. Fiancee and I went there about 6-12 months ago, I had a really great Reuben with fries, just the -perfect- portion size for a lunch. Then they got rid of it and now all thats left is a lot of appetizers and pretty much it. The menu feels pretty empty. Fun mugs instead of glasses for your water, waiters come around semi-often. Cozy atmosphere, was fun though, really fun on New Years Eve, if the covid ever ends. Darts, bowling, huge Jenga blocks, lots of TV screens, and the whole restaurant goes in a large circle around the building which is kinda cool. Bar has a huuuuuge selection, and a great 4th floor outside viewing loft. Got definite novelty, but when youre ready to move on, youll know its time. :)

Wow! Super cool bar, restaurant, and hangout spot.I had the opportunity to attend my holiday party for work here and was pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly, the drinks were well made, and the options for entertainment were staggering. If you’re ever in the area you should def check it out!

We recently came to this location for the Super Bowl. I have been before and have always had such a great experience. The drink selection is unique and so delicious, and the food is incredible. Seriously, the BEST wings I’ve had in my life! Service is always amazing and everyone has a smile on their face. The games are so diverse - from bowling, to shuffleboard, to cornhole, to board games, to arcade games... the list goes on and on! It really was the best place to chill out, watch the game, have a few drinks and some incredible snacks. I don’t miss this spot when I go to Portland.

The chicken quesadilla is fairlyspicy and the extra sauces make it even hotter, order it. Came here for the first time with a friend and we will both be back. The service was quick and attentive, and they had plenty of classic to more unusual drinks to choose from. I cant wait to bring more people to try out bowling, bring a group theres plenty of room!

Food was good on new years, however after 11pm the bar tenders wouldnt even look at you. waited 30 mins without a hello, was unable to close out my tab. so they took it upon them selves to add a tip to my card. called a few days later when the charges went through with their self added tip and the manager said he would take care of it. Well here we are still not resolved. i guess what they bought with adding a tip and terrible bar service is this 2 star review......

Really good, organic food for a pretty reasonable price! Honestly when I first saw it I thought of it as a place mostly to go with your friends and get drunk, and while you most certainly could do that and probably have a good time, I still had a good time going with one other person!The food was very tasty. They definitely pushed the idea that it was all organic and stuff, but what stood out to me was that their chicken was antibiotic free! Not something you hear a lot about from restaurants, but very important still. I ended up getting the chicken quesadilla, and it was a very good plate! We also got some fries, which were very normal fries, but they came with a really good sauce. It was an interesting taste I havent had on fries before, but I would get it again! Finally, I had a malt milkshake. It was good, but nothing too crazy.Im definitely planning on going again with more people. They also have board games to play at your table, which would make it a pretty unique group dinner/game night! Very good stuff.

We were a large party and had to send back 4 of the orders because they were not cooked properly and the kids *really* didnt like the Mac & Cheese. It was loud and my order was meh. So overall - a very average experience. It honestly may be that they used a more sophisticated cheese than kids were used to. Also, French Dip was probably cooked correctly, but person we were with wanted it well done. So benefit of the doubt gives them 3 stars.

Brilliant!! If youre looking for ALL the fun in one place Punch Bowl Social is great place to land. Really good pub food plus all the micro brews, cocktails, and non-cocktails for the younger crowd served up in a carnival like atmosphere of arcade games, bowling allies, and karaoke lounge. Perfect for Friday night unwind or Sunday funday antics. Planning a party or large gathering? Get in touch with PBS. They have party facilities and onsite very good catering.Life is short. Have some fun at the Punch Bowl Social.

Great food and friendly staff. Fun place.

Lots of room for big groups, we had our company party here. Lots of games, classic pinball and arcade video. Plus karaoke and bowling! Food was average, good selection of non-alcoholic craft drinks, my coworkers seemed happy with the normal bar drinks.

This was a disappointing place, we arrived between 530-6pm on Friday October 4th and requested a table for a party of 6. The place was not busy, plenty of booths and tables empty, The hostess was not very friendly it seemed like we were bothering her asking for a table, her reply was it was gonna be like 30-45 min wait that there were reserved tables. That we could go to the Punchbowl Social area. We walked over to check it out and it was a bar that looked like a garage, empty with a few small tall round tables for like 2-4 people not a party of 6. No one greeted us as we entered so we walked back to restaurant side and said we would wait, again she seemed like it was an inconvenience, so we waited it was about 20 mins then she came out and said she could seat us, again when we were there to begin it was empty and go figure we were seated at a table right next to another large party when there were plenty of tables around. We ordered drinks, we ordered a punch bowl and instead received two drinks that were incorrect, so waited for correction of that. We ordered food and it was also incorrect, wrong order of wings and while everyone received food, one persons food was not brought out and it was over 15 mins to receive while everyone else had theirs. The food was not good, it was cold and no flavor. Kept being told food was coming. The Punch Bowl drink finally arrived and literally it was a small bowl mostly ice supposed to serve 4 people but it was more like 2 with all ice. Definitely not a place I would return to or recommend.

5 Stars for Chandler!!!!She was awesome. I was there with my company on Sunday night. She went out of her way to make sure we had incredible service the whole night. Thank you, Chandler!!!

Spent a Saturday afternoon here with my coworkers until about 3pm. The service was quick and food was tasty. Games were a bit expensive, pinball being $1.50 per game, but the variety of video games and board/table games made up for the game card running out quickly. Make sure you calculate the money/games as there are no refunds on the $ left on the cards nor will the games allow you to add the balance from multiple cards into a single game. Otherwise, it was a pleasant afternoon spent!

Very friendly bartenders. Its cool that this place has the entire top floor to themselves. (Top floor of the pioneer mall) Lots of games to choose from like bowling, ping-pong, corn hole, giant Jenga, darts, connect 4 and more. Or you could just sit down and have a nice meal. Lots of seating available. Had a blast with my other half.

Well... We was going to give them 5 stars until I noticed they over charged me by 30$.... Food was delicious and service was pretty good..

Meh. None of my party of 4 likes their food. The chicken sandwich was just ok. Too bad, the menu looked good.Drinks are bad — this is the worst Old Fashioned I’ve ever ordered, clearly the bartender didn’t know how. I only could drink half - it was that bad. Low grade, made wrong. We won’t be back.

If I were only giving the activities section a rating it would be a 5 but since its overall its a 3 . We went for my friends bachelorette party last night and started out a great night bowling and having drinks. Our server Sydney was amazing and the guy at the front, I cant remember his name but he was great too. After bowling we tried karaoke but it was over an hr wait so we went to sit in the restaurant for dinner There were 5 of us. There was a table finishing up by us and 1 table a few tables away. That was it. Several servers and bartenders standing around. I could understand if they were close to closing, Im in the business I get it, but it was 1030 and they still had a few hrs left of their shift. Someone brought water but then nobody came back We waited 15 min before we got up. Every server watched us get up and not one of them spoke up to stop us or say anything. I had to stop a girl to ask to speak to a manager. Instead of finding a manager she went to her coworkers to tell them. I wouldnt recommend going to the restaurant here unless you can request Sydney as your server She cared and was amazing. Shes the only reason I would come back.

We had a group event here and the experience might be different if you come by and have fun on your own dime.The food they prepared was not that great and having to go to the bar to get soft drinks was a tiny nuisance because of the wait, but they had water for self service in many spots and thats OK.Again, if you come by and there are no large events then it might be different.What is not different is the way to access it. If you enjoy heights then youre in for a treat, as you go to the 4th floor on this narrow escalator with glass walls.

Good food at a good price. Everything is fresh, which is amazing; even their pickles are home made! Pretty versatile menu as well, with lots of gluten free and vegan options. Plus the activities are super fun. Definitely coming back with friends.

Good fun, great food! A tiny bit pricy but its worth it.

Went here for the OSCON 2019 conference party. It was excellent and the staff was friendly. This whole place is like fun laid out in a circle. Great bartenders and quick service.

Honestly. I had 1 drink. It was 7.50 for a well gin and tonic. Atmosphere was nice, but it wasnt anything special.The punches arent a better deal than a cocktail for alcohol content.Still havent tried the food, but I wouldnt go for drinks again.

Fantastic establishment for social gatherings. Many people playing games and having fun! Great for birthday party! The nachos were the bomb!!️

Great drinks. Had place rented out and i can see why. Really fun good bartenders

Great food... very tastey taco bar and a sampling of local brews... darts, a few bowling lanes... went there for work event.

Went here Halloween 2018... And we left as soon as we finished our drinks. Half of the ppace was blocked off though for a private party so maybe that is the better half of the place? The side I was on had 2 or 3 bowling lanes. A few arcade games and some board games available. I didnt like the music either. Wont be returning.

Went here for my son and new daughter in laws reception it was great I didnt even know that it existed. I will definitely be back.

Awesome spot food is good drinks and Beers collection are better. You have games such as bowling they also have a patio that overlook some part of the city btw it’s divided into two separate spot. Great atmosphere and prices are not that expensive specially if you go by group of four. If you are visiting Portland you must go there and it’s located in the center of walking site seeing with free galleries ext.

Way overpriced and meat heavy on the menu - like they wanted to be foodie. The business plan doesnt make sense to me. $14+ for a sandwich at the mall? The bowling alley is small too. Its like trying to mix faux foodie with family activities. The chairs were ornate, kind of cool.

Out of the way place that seems to take up the whole third floor the rotunda. Youll find it one level below Regal Cinemas. My server Chad was great, personable and friendly. I had the American Burger and a beer. The best thing about that was the beer LOL. At $14, I cannot in all good conscious recommend the burger. The spicy dill slice, served as a garnish, was pretty good though. :-)

Went for a corporate event. Food was okay, nothing amazing. Venue was awesome and our team had alot of fun.

Such a great place for a company event. Great food staff and vibe!

Good food friendly lots to do bowling, darts, pool corn hole,games,connect the dots,big jinga.I had lots of fun

Great for drinks and games at night. Do not go here for lunch! It was all bad and over priced. Happy hour might be ok.

They offered my roommate a job, had him fill out the paperwork and even took copies of his ID only to choose someone else based on their attractiveness. My roommate really needed the money and was so relieved, but they were just toying with him. Don’t support such shoddy management and any place that would do something as inhumane.

Fantastic place to go with a group of friends. Tons of games, bowling, pool, darts, karaoke and the food is really really good! Its kind of a perfect place to just hang and have a good time. And theres a theater and shopping in the same building so theres a lot to do.

Tons of games (both free and paid), great atmosphere, moderate drink prices, very friendly and helpful staff. Went with a small group and had a great time.

The food is not bad at all and theres a fun atmosphere, very laid back.

Not alot of these places around, have been to one in Virginia, now Portland. Cool concept adult game spot with bowling, pool, etc, with full bars and menus. Nice gathering spot for any occasion. Although this Portland location was a bit tough to get to.

This place has so much to do, really great place to hang out. We had our daughters 11th birthday party here with family and it was really fun. Skeeball, Fussball, Pool, Karaoke, Big Jenga...Manager was great, when we ended up losing money from one of the games... Some staff friendly, though not all of them. Food service was pretty slow the night we went (Wed,5pm)

It’s me and my husband favorite place to be in a cloudy day. This place has everything you wish for a bar, restaurant, bowling and a lot of cool arcade games.

Our experience was awful!! We booked a reservation weeks in advance for a birthday. When we got there they sat us at a table without enough chairs for everyone. We asked to pull 2 extra seats to the table and they said they couldnt d o it so a couple people from our party had to sit at a completely different table. When one of our guests arrived with a box of cookies they stopped her at the door and charged her for bringing it in. The guy at the front desk was super rude with all of our inquiries. As a disclaimer none of our party drinks so we werent being rude or belligerent. It took us all about an hour to completely pay all of our bills. The food was okay. Nothing spectacular and definitely not worth as much as they charge. Would not go back.

Staff super attentive! Bar tender working way too hard! She needed help; however, she smiled thru it!Great place!

This place a fabulous! Great date night experience.

Nice place, nice people

Catered event, I went 2 years ago as well. They have great local meat, cheeses, fresh veggies. Really good Mac n cheese and some bar food. I went for the social aspect, but theyve got games, bar and a very attentive wait staff.

Had a great holiday work party! Thanks for hosting a fun evening.

The servers forgot about our orders. They really didnt pay much attention to our table. Our checks were messed up and when we approached the guy, he gave us an attitude about it. There are lots of fun places nearby. Punch Bowl Social is mediocre.*editI tried coming back here again and the service is still unbelievable. 4 bartenders made eye contact with me, walked by, and didnt acknowledge me at all. All the employees seem to be so miserable to work here! Better management, better staff, and better service is MUCH NEEDED HERE. Not returning again.

Friendly, fun place!

I have been here multiple times and it has been very difficult to enjoy yourself here. The reason being is that a lot of private events are held here which means that they section off whole parts of the place.I would say sometimes it is even hard to find a bar to get to since they are closed off. The wait times for the bowling are several hours. I wish they had a better system than writing down your information. They do a really good job calling you when it is your turn though.It seems like a fun place and would be good for a private party but I think if you are looking for activities to do with friends, there are better places.

Servers are friendly, food is decent and there is a lot to do.

The games now have a card. Don’t miss the punch bowl drink! That’s definitely the highlight.

Super short-staffed. We didn’t feel comfortable ordering.

Its definitely a great place to host team events. The food is decent. But I found it really strange that every time you ask for a coffee refill, they have to take the whole mug back to the kitchen. There must be a more efficient way of doing refill.....?

What a completely fun place! And a great place for an office party!

Spouses company held an event here. Was pleased to see a wide selection of gluten free food and drink. Staff was attentive. Will definitely come back to play giant Scrabble.

Not my cup of tea. Made with unique tasting food in mind. Though might be a great hangout joint for the bowling, pool table, and sports TV.

I dont feel like I can give a fair review, since I was there for a sponsored event, and did not experience it in its natural splendor. From what I did see, though, the staff was friendly and helpful, and there is a good beer selection. Ill get back there one of these days, and hopefully I can provide a better write-up.

New years eve was great here but they replaced the ping pong table for a photo-booth that night. Questionable mistake.

Amazing customer service, pricey food and drinks but so worth it!

Awesome place. Had my boyfriends surprise birthday here and it was fantastic. Its great to come for drinks as there are many bars and lots of games. There is also many places to explore. Fun night out spot!

Super good time. Jeremy did a great job & made sure we had everything we needed.

Arrived to a not too crowded restaurant for happy hour apps and drinks. Though the restaurant got more crowded, it took 2:40 to get through ordering, receiving drinks and food and getting cashed out. The place was severely understaffed, a disservice to costumers and non-management staff alike.The food was okay: greasy, salty with too many buzzword flavors thrown together. Nothing special. Edible.The price wasnt terrible.Though in Pioneer Mall, they do not validate parking.I will happily avoid returning here, even if they do manage to adequately staff themselves in the future. While I wont get any hours of my life back, the ones wasted here seem especially wasted.

Food is great and its cool that they have so many activities

Really decent fresh pub food, great service, and fun games. They have a fully working version of mouse trap. Amazing.

Great food and amazing customer service. Cool fun place.

Always a blast. Good food, great drinks, and tons of fun!

We had our wedding after party here. The events team does a great job letting you know what the options are and how much food to order. We were even allowed to bring in outside cakes for a small fee. Our guests enjoyed bowling, singing karaoke, playing air hockey, and hanging out on our private rooftop patio. Definitely recommend for a large group event!

Wow! This is where I wanna go anytime Im near Portland. Made my trip and made my night! My waitress was incredible. Loved her!

Interesting layout, helpful bartender. Very accomadating

Great food, great drinks, and great games. My visit was a paid vendor event, but I would consider coming back.

Great place for a meeting, family dinner, or just grabbing a drink solo. Food is really good and the staff is very friendly!

The menu was creative and unique. My nachos were not traditional nachos, but they were tasty and fresh. The service was upbeat and attentive. Didnt get to play games, but thats a great idea to have food around games like they do.

Great place to play ping pong or giant Jenga or some classic video games. The Karaoke and bowling Ive never done. The food is decent and the cocktails are okay.

Great location, very fun place, lots of games/things to do. Impressive menu and attentive staff. Prices are pretty good considering the location.

Fun games and decent drinks. Shuffleboard, karaoke, darts, bowling have all been fun in the past. Drinks are good, even for non-alcoholic selections.

This place is a restaurant/lounge, not a fight club type of organization.Dont make the same mistake I did. :(

Awesome place to hang out, theres a little something for everyone. Bowling, arcade games, a lounge, bar area, and great food. Theres outside balconies overlooking downtown Portland, & considering the location, prices arent too bad. Kid/family friendly till around 9pm as well

Best food ever friendy workers and best place

I was there yesterday and the service was trash! We decided to eat outside and the service was very minimal. It seems like it’s easy for them to forget about you when sitting outside even when it’s not busy. Either the service was bad or they just don’t service black people evenly as they do other people. The punch bowl I go to at home in Sacramento has NEVER treated me and my girlfriend like that.

Well maintained and up to date. Well staffed and managed. Young crowd gets pretty noise in the evening. Not very relaxing. Not a good place to get a drink and talk more of a club for younger people. Food is average and drinks are marked up.

This place is objectively great! OG Jacob is the best bartender.

Went here to celebrate my bday with a party of 6. Our server was incredible. Kitchen was struggling to keep up with the volume that night and resulted in our food taking over a hour after we ordered to come out and was sent out incomplete and dry. I give this place 4 stars cause I was impressed how the manager took ownership of the error and made it correct for us, without us saying anything. The server and manager were extremely apologetic and did everything they could do to make it right. This could have been a one star experience but the staff turned it around to a four star experience. We enjoyed playing the games later on, I will come back.

Great atmosphereGood foodAlso great apps

The service and atmosphere was great! Lots of games for the family.

Nice place to bowl and have some food and drinks with friends and family
