Another one of my regular to go place.Fun place, good crowd. Nice collection of liquor and ambiance .. Service can be slow here though.

I had breakfast of champions! Chicken N Waffles and the new Shrimp Burger. Delicious!! The staff was super friendly and helpful. First time here was fantastic. I will back soon!

Was craving avocado toast. Ordered it and it was weak af. So small and doesn’t have flavors in it. Also, we were waiting for hella long for someone to serve us. The employees walked passed us everytime.

This is a neat place to meet friends. There is plenty of room to socialize. The bowling lanes can be reserved for a private party. Its a great place for a 1st date. Id recommend one of the couches or barstools with a view. The free games are tic-tac-toe and corn hole. The hostess will validate your parking for 2 hours. I would go here more often, if the parking wasnt so horrible in the area.

I love coming here! The food is good and not terribly priced. The environment is so energetic and amazing. They offer karaoke, arcade games, bowling, VR gaming, and board games as well. There is so much to do here, you could really come for any occasion. I would definitely say it’s for an older crowd (as in not really an environment for children) but a great place to go out with friends or family for fun or for a celebration!

Brunch here is not that great, wasnt feeling the food at all, and then it took them hella long to write down what we wanted3.2 outta 5

Not super impressed. Let me explain why. Service. Just simply that. The service was poor. Beer selection is minimal. And the food was a disappointment. On the plus side the bar service was very good and the environment and activities are wonderful. I expected more for how expensive it is.

This is a great little ( big) place! Lots to do. I was just meeting up for a snack and a drink, but it has bowling and other games, and a great food and beverage menu to choose from. Wish we could have gotten the others in our party to come join us from our hotel so we could have bowled or something. Service was prompt, friendly and attentive, we will definitely be back!

A fun place to have drinks. My first visit I crashed the CHP party, I figured my tickets helped pay. Drinks are properly balanced between potency and taste. Cramps Jack is the absolute best. Punch of the week is usually a good choice. Barbacoa tacos are just right.

Atmosphere is awesome. Food is great....overall a good place to hang out and have a good time. We did encounter an issue that is forcing me to give them only 3 stars- service. Basically there wasnt any. We had to ask for everything needed to drink and eat. We had to ask to order when 3 servers were not busy, asked for limes with our tequila, asked for napkins and then had to ask for utensils. We even had to ask for ketchup to go with the fries. At one point after asking for utensils to eat with, our server asked if we even needed them? I was a little lost on the question since my meal was not finger food. I would go back since the food was great and the place was fun. Hopefully next time I can give them 5 starts!

Ambience was incredible. Attentive staff who were really friendly. Had their Mission Hefe beer and it was great. Smooth and flavorful. The nachos came out and were huge. Hamburger was delicious. The food portions are really good size for the price.**** MAJOR PLUS ****This place is kid friendly. Great seating (family of 7) with kids menus and games.Good family outing if youre here for a game at the Golden 1 Center.

Came for a brunch date. Great food and good service. We ordered the crab Rangoon dip for appetizers and the beef brisket hash and breakfast burrito for our main course, everything was delicious. Server was really fast with getting our drinks and orders in and very helpful. Food was brought out quickly. After brunch we stuck around and played corn hole/billiards and connect4.

Definitely a place to check out with the family or without. Food is pretty good, a little pricey but always worth it! Our service is getting much better.If you do happen to go and you just arent having the great time you should be, the Punch Bowl Social thrives you to be, go to the Activities cage ask for Kristine and if I am there, I will make sure you leave there wanting to come back again and again!!

Cool restaurant and bar with video games, virtual reality games, bowling, darts, and tons of board games for the dining tables to check out. Good beers and good food. Awesome place to go before an arena event.

Booked a party in one of there rooms then I canceled when the covid stuff started and they are refusing to refund my money. I canceled in the correct amount of time. They refuse to respond to emails and phone calls. I will never do business with them again.

Very rad concept - you open a tab, get a key card and insert the card into the slot for the beer you want and basically just pour your own beer. It’s in an old bank, great setting, good beer, nice people. We need more places like this!

Fun downtown spot with bowling, arcade, karaoke and darts. However the food tasted bland, my salad had a fridge taste to it and lots of arcade games and ait hockey were out of order. The place is gimmicky only offer canned wine.

Good food. Good ambiance. A little on the pricey side.

We went here for our weekly family fun day. There are great sources of entertainment all throughout the space from jinga, airhockey to arcades,TVs, bowling, and karaoke. Its new, hip and the ambiance is cool. Where they seriously miss the mark is the food/beverages and service. It sounds really good when you read it on the menu but its seriously bland and fails to live up to the hype. We had onion dip that had great texture, lots of chives and whole garlic cloves but it was watery and packed basic salt and pepper but the chips with it are decent. The black eye pea hummus/crudite plate was pretty on the plate but again, no flavor. The chicken had a great breading and crunch but again, zero flavor; not even a granule of spice or herbs and the breading was burnt on two of the three orders. The sriracha fries looked great but excessively priced $10 for a plate of hyped up fries. Can I have a side of sriracha with those million dollar sriracha fries? The cooks salad was beautiful but again was very disappointing because it lacked basic flavor at $15. The shakes are flavorful, fun and taste great. The housemade nonalcoholic lemonades are grossly overpriced at $7 served in a 4 or 5 oz. cocktail glass and no refills. The best dish of the night was the Impossible burger. It was grilled perfectly, had perfect seasoning, a good ratio of condiments to veg patty; good eats. We shouldve ordered 7 of those with fries and shakes. The young men at the service counter to pay for games were welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable. The karaoke room is very entertaining but feels like a sauna because the ac wasnt working and the Walmart fans couldnt cool it down with the door needing to stay closed so you dont disturb others. The kids enjoyed the old school arcade games. The service still needs some work because the hour and half we were in the kaorke room an opportunity to profit was missed. Not one server came over to make money off us (they have 3 bars) and we wouldve gladly purchased every drink we could to hydrate in that sweltering room, considering we saved hundreds by walking in versus reserving the karoke room ahead. You must go and experience the space for yourself. Go with fun people, youre sure to have a good time because we did. Be sure to ask for a side of flavor with your meal.

Now that its no longer crazy crowded, this place is actually really fun. Good service, good food, several different activities (although there can be a wait list on a busy weekend evening). Great drinks - best mocktails in the city. I wouldnt recommend bringing kids at night, but this is a good place for grown ups to chill.

Great place for a work group gathering. Food, drinks, and service was all excellent.

Punch Bowl has a fun atmosphere with plenty to enjoy.We had a Texan in our group and he said the pulled pork was really good. The food at Punch Bowl is great.The staff was pleasant, helpful and responsive to our needs.

A spacious game-filled space for kids and adults to enjoy. The menu is tasty and not traditional. The negative part of our experience was our server. When we arrived it was very quiet and we had a group coming in from a breast cancer walk. We were quiet, polite, and kind. But she seemed so miserable and unhappy that we were there. Everything she said and did was rude or a big downer. Once another server stepped in to help she was great. It turned the experience around because the first one made us question if we should just leave. In the end, we had a nice lunch and fun letting the kids bowl.

The cleanest kitchen I have ever inspected. Cheers for making cleanliness a top priority.

This place has something going on in every room and corner! It even has its own VR, Private Karaoke Room

This is a fascinating venue and I am thrilled that it is now in Sacramento. There are many different things to do, and it would be a fantastic restaurant and play area to bring friends, family and company to. I only have two issues to bring up. One, the staff ability is spotty, meaning that some are quite good and some are very not (either slow, unknowledgeable, arrogant, or all three). Two, they have a giant Jenga game that crashes on the floor with a startling blast. I have to admit that its fun to watch people doing Jenga, but the insanely loud noise upon the crash is overly jolting. Some friends of mine told me that there punch is not very tasty, and the house Chardonnay is very weak. However, they do have some nice happy hour specials. I particularly enjoy the chips and onion dip, but the grand champion are the street tacos which are completely sublime and you could easily throw down 10 of them! If Only They had a better staff this would probably be one of the greatest spots in Northern California. Luckily it brightens up DOCO a bit.

Reserved a table for a birthday party of 6. While we waited for our food to arrive, about 4 different waiters/waitresses tried to give us food and drinks that were not ours 5 different times. When 4 of us finally recieved our food the other 2 had to wait. And wait. And wait. When we asked about our food, the server told us it was not put in and we could order again but would have to wait. We cancelled that portion of our food. The server laughed and said well maybe the other people in your party will share their food with you. No apologies were made. No offers were made to get something quickly out to us. 2 stars for this birthday lunch experience. 2 of us left hungry. The other 4 took some of their food to go.

Music is too loud. Waiter and waitress are wonderful. Food is so so.

High energy place. Adequate selection of drinks and food. Great place to socialize via an assortment of activities like bowling, ski ball, arcade games, shuffleboard, darts, etc. Very busy when events going down at the arena next door.

Went with my coworkers and ordered different items. Staff was friendly and attentive. Very clean place, location is great and walking distance from arena. Prices are good and portions are just right for lunch.

Cool place near the arena. They have bowling, great drinks and a fun environment. Plenty of room to bring groups of people and a great view for the area. Its within walking distance of the train station so for commuters its convenient. I tried the burger and parsley fries. It was really good. I would definitely go back. Their drink specials are great too.

Amazing place, just few steps from our hotel in Sacramento. Many games for child and adults, good american food (buttermilk buns incredibly delicious, fried chicken too), a nice place to stay with children or friends. Service was also very good. Warmly recommended for dinner and to spend funny time with family too.

Great venue for meeting a couple of friends to hosting a meet up group. The only reason it didnt get 5 stars is that it is difficult to hear people depending on where you are at within the building. The view from the balcony was pretty. Next to the stadium.

This location was good to eat and for drink options. I went here with my family. We enjoyed a lot at this place.Nice sitting plan. Good atmosphere. Great people as well as employees.

Great food and drinks. The staff were nice and very attentive. I went during the middle of the day on a weekday and it was nice to be able to see and do all of the stuff without a gang of people bumping into you.

Good happy hour but staff needs to be more responsive. The same drink was citrisy at first the was sweeter than citrusy. So, it needs to be more consistent. Karaoke room is overpriced. They pick the YouTube versions of the songs.

This place is dope. Its huge with so many places to sit and hang. Arcade is kinda small but still cool. Lots of TVs for sports and even bowling lanes. Very nice addition to downtown Sacramento.

This restaurant is obviously one of the most attractive place in the area. Whenever I come to this place I am deeply glad. They keep their high level service and the topmost level of dishes they provide. You always win with this place. Highly recommended.

Have some fun while you eat and drink. It was a huge place. We found a variety of diner style prepared foods. They were good size portions, too. A wonderful young hostess explained the menu to us and offered us excellent choices. The five of us enjoyed the A la Bama Chicken Sandwich, the vegetarian plates, the kettle chips, and the crispy French fries. A game of bowling would have been fun as well as enjoy a family board game.

This place was out of this world. After a Kings game my mother and I found ourselves here. We had a punch bowl and it was great.

We were seeking a fun night out that had music, food, and games, with an upbeat atmosphere and adult laid back vibe. Punch Bowl checked all the those boxes! We had the biscuits, Cocoa Dusted Pork Carnitas, Falafel Burger, Black Beans, Guac, and Rosemary Fries. The food was delicious. The boozy Malted Maple Royale w/candied bacon was mind-blowing and out of this world amazing!! Worth every sip. Playing our childhood board games of Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders, and Hungry Hippo was priceless!

Great concept for a spot, fun activities but the service was TERRIBLE. Very rarely do I complain about service but it was below a competent level. Went there twice during my stay and both times I had to bring a server over myself multiple times. We needed a bigger table cleared off, I asked 2-3 different people if they could help and was simply told someone will do it. On top of that, when it came to closing out our bill, nobody came by our table for a good 30-45 mins.

Maybe its because it was a Sunday: The service was super lackluster. if we needed anything, and mind you we had kids with us, you werent going to get it until a really long time. At what point I had to get up and ask that my waiter come to my table.Food was overcooked and did I mention drink refills? Yeah, non-existent.There are better places to go.

!!!Update!!From 5* change to 3*Sunday 1/5/20, we came at 2:30 pm, upstairs main bar. Service was terrible. We were waiting for our drinks like forever. There were 3 bartenders, but they were always busy with their own stuff, not with customers. We had to ask for one drink 3 times!Now we are waiting for the check more than 10 minutes. Once again, we are sitting on a bar. Not at the table. It is ridiculously bad service!!!Update!!Try their milkshake. Really good

The food was ok. Service was a little slow. I went twice and my younger guests definitely appreciated the atmosphere more than the more “mature” crowd. It has some fun and games as well as food. I would come back. The staff was friendly.

Cool place but they constantly tried to add an extra side of friend to bill on my friends bill even though only one side of fries was ordered for the table. They said they cleared it up and I paid mine only to see a side of fries added to my bill as well. Guess what, my friend already paid for the one ordered and got the extra taken off his. But for some reason it got transferred to mine.Other than that, fun place to socialize. Music playing but not too loud that you cant talk. If youre looking to hang out with friends to chat, drink and play some games (pool, bowling, arcade games) then this spot is for you.

Beautiful lots of sports TVs bowling good food friendly people very nice

We had an amazing bartender! I wish i knew his name. Although the bar was full he was Very quick and took time to figure out what type of drinks we wanted.

Id give it no stars, if I could. Fried chicken: over salty skin, flavorless meat. Sent it back. Asked for wedge salad. No dressing, and all of the lettuce was yellow and sour. (See pic) Never again.

Neat spot to hang with friends over appetizers. My group of friends were pretty disappointed by the desserts we got. Overall a convenient location and fun atmosphere.

Alcoholic smoothies! Never had those before! Try them all! :-) The place is so busy and social, you will definitely find something to do here.

This is a fun location to go for groups, everything is pretty pricey and it can get very crowded. Good bar food, and fun games. I recommend the Lavender Sour

Great place to get some drinks and light bites before heading out to downtown Sacramento. They make really good cocktails and the bartenders are friendly and helped us make a special drink for my friends birthday that we were celebrating! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to have some fun and relax, plus they have bowling and corn hole.

FUN BUT NEEDS TO BE MANAGED BETTERThis was my first visit to Punch Bowl Social. I have heard a lot about it, and when I was visiting Sacramento decided to check it out. We had a good visit and would go back. However, the execution on the food and service needs to be better for this place stay popular.This is a BIG place with plenty of room to accommodate any size group as well a huge main bar thats perfect for catching a game. The Kings play right next door so I imagine this place is pretty busy before and after games during the basketball season.I went with my wife, my sister, and 2 year old kid. We really liked the way the place looked and felt. The atmosphere is fun and easy going and there was plenty of room for my little one to roam around and check things out.Punch Bowl Social provides its guests with lots to do from bowling and arcade games (two VR rooms too) to board games and karaoke. One thing to keep in mind is that it is very popular so its best to call early to reserve the bowling and karaoke early on. You shouldnt expect to walk right in and get access to these things.Also, because its a big place and pretty busy that means you may not have access to a lot of what they offer. Not only was karaoke and bowling booked up, but because of private parties we couldnt gain access to the arcade either. Ultimately we were limited to playing Hungry Hippos at our table which was fine for our 2 year old, but could be disappointing for older groups looking to have some fun. There are other games too, but overall if you go on a busy night I think it will be hard to get access to the more popular things here.The menu has pretty good all around offerings. They make sure to tell you that it is designed by a James Beard Award Winner. The trouble we had was with the execution. The food wasnt bad at all but I would measure your expectations. Its better than most eatertainment type restaurants but I didnt walk out thinking I just at an award winning dinner.Another point on execution is that because this place is so big its a lot to manage. When we walked in we didnt really know where to go or what was going on. No one seemed to be concerned with greeting guests (there are multiple entrances) and most the serving staff, while pleasant, did not seem too interested in engaging with guests (not as interested as they were in talking to each other). When I come to a restaurant like this I expect to see multiple managers walking the floor and making sure everything is going well. I only saw one and he was on his phone at the front desk. Again, everyone was pleasant but you get the feeling that things a are little disorganized and no one is on point. So dont be surprised if the service is somewhat middle of the road.

I recently attended a private event here and it was fantastic! Theres a bar downstairs, a restaurant and bar upstairs, and a little space for entertaining that includes arcade games, bowling, and video games. The staff were extremely nice, the food was great, and the service was pretty darn good. All of the staff help to make corporate events even better! I would definitely recommend this place!

Great food and atmosphere. Plenty of great games to play. They also have karaoke. Only negative is the lopsided shuffle board game that slides the pucks to the right when shuffling from one side. It needs to be replaced. Otherwise fantastic place and great service!

Good food. Cool vibes. Staff can be a little more welcoming and friendly. Both times Ive gone on weekdays for lunch, a Monday and a Wednesday. They were not busy yet the staff seemed too busy to give a genuine hello with a smile. I consider myself to be a good tipper on the 20%+ average since im a pt server and bartender yet I couldnt get myself to give them more then 15%. I say go and judge for yourself. They have community games like corn hole e.t.c so good for groups.

We had our holiday party here. The food was really good. Very fun place and easy to find parking.

Classy, arcade bowling billiards corn hole area with jenga and good food. See ya soon.

I love this place. The staff is always friendly and eager to help. We played virtual reality and they were very helpful explaining us how to use the game, they even gave us some extra time due to the time they spend explaining us. I also recommend to try the adult milkshakes.PBS is lot of fun! You can play bowl, board games, virtual reality! It’s the perfect place to spend time with the family or friends

FUN time... We had a wonderful birthday party for our Daughter and all our family.A wonderful brunch and bloody Mary bar.. LOTS for the grandkids to do even the adults !!!! :-)

They got a new pop up bar; Nicks bar for x-man cocktails and good times. Here till new years eve.

Great place. Good drinks and good food. A little pricey.

Super fun place to go for activities with large groups!!! Lots to do and the staff are super friendly!!! I wish they had more places like these ️

Yo! Those chicken and waffs were the bees knees! They servin that night night food! I almost slipped into a coma. I even drizzled some of the sweet and spicy sauce from the chicken wings on my chicken and waffs. Fuggin delectable! Service was quick, and the atmosphere is fun and great for the whole family.

So. Much. Fun. I’ve been here multiple times since they opened with varying types/sizes of groups and always have a great time. Sure, they’re new and still working out some kinks, but with so many different activities it’s hard to not find some fun no matter if it’s crowded or your first choice activity (bowling, for me) is booked. Real darts, too!! Shuffleboard!! Skeeball!!I brought my sister and her family (including two very young ones) for brunch once, and there was some mixup that really delayed the food... we almost had a DEFCON 5 situation with hungry young ones, but a Manager deftly stepped in, brought free biscuits (yum) to tide them over and then ultimately comped the meal. Staff went above and beyond to fix this “growing pain” issue and I have no doubt that they’ll be a finely tuned operation very soon. Great addition to Sac scene.Tip: check the arena schedule, and show up 10 min before a Sac Kings game or Arena event begins and you’ll have the opportunity to really enjoy every thing they have to offer.

Great staff and they made sure I could watch my Astros win !!

Good food and drinks! Waitress was super nice and helpful with the menu. Bowling alley sucked.

Its bowling area and games aren’t as big as I imagined and the food was limited (only three mains) but it had some fun drinks and the staff was very attentive! We tried the watermelon polo bowl (sweet, fruity) and El Macho (tequila, cardamom syrup, lime juice) both weren’t very strong but the watermelon polo bowl was pretty good! I also had the Knockoff Burger with rosemary fries and loved it but they didn’t ask us how we liked our meat so it was well done. I’d definitely come back though!!

We didnt even try any drinks here or food but came here for the John Mayer concert. The place looked really cool. If I ever take a trip to Sacramento again I would definitely go here with my friends.

Always love visiting here when in Sacramento. Good vibes food and drinks!

American food and service at this spot is excellent. Definitely worth a return trip. The place has a nice feel to it.

Upbeat and fresh location. Lots of fun activities to do from bowling to karaoke. Food was great!

There are a bunch of games and the punch bowls are great. I recommend trying to learn darts.

Came here for a company party. Come for the drinks and games, NOT THE FOOD. The food is just...ok. It’s not bad, but it’s not amazing either.

Friday night is probably not a good night to try a new restaurant. Food took a really long time to come out. The waiter was working both sides of the bar which made getting his attention to check on the food near impossible. Due to large groups there were no chairs for our bar top and we had to stand. All in all food might have been better if it wasnt sitting for so long before it got to us. Real question is will we try again. Probably not due to the food, but i could go with friends to play some games and have a drink.

Went on March 1. 2020 with my boyfriend for the first time.Had alot of fun to the food to the bowling great atmosphere

Loved the environment. Staff was awesome as well

Great service. Menu had a good variety of items. A little pricey for some portions, but very tasty!!

Great customer service. The people that work here are inviting and warm. The menu is unique. Plenty of cocktail choices and shareable food options. Im glad I stopped in.

Fun spot for drinks and games

So this is by far one of the coolest places I have ever been to. I love the vibe of the place. the food was amazing. we ended up just getting a bunch of apps, which were incredible and we couldnt finish it all. I didnt know a place like that could exist. A restaurant with indoor bowling, a smallish arcade, pool tables, and a huge foosball table. I was just astounded. I dont live in sac town but I am definitely trying to end up there and if and when I do, this is a place Id like to spend time with friends

This place is hella fun. Food was great and theres a lot of fun stuff to do. It could be a little pricey but for a date night, its alot of fun

Great place to hang out with friends

Great atmosphere, and a great place to watch a game. Service can get slow on the weekends though

Place is nice, a bit pricey on drinks, but love I can have a beer and relax off to the side of the big crowds

Food was good. Our waitress Chloe was really nice! Great personality! Would definitely come back.

Great atmosphere, all are welcome...had great time enjoying a libation with my husband as we played ski ball and few other games. Place is pretty modern. They have basic arcade games to virtual reality games to a karaoke room, dont forget bowling alley and food/drinks. Fun for everyone!

Nice place to hangout with friends. Food is ok, be nice if they had more options. Parking is a pain specially when there is an event happening at the arena.

My fav place for delicious American food. I wanted to post a food pic but it looked so good I couldnt stop. Really nothing but great experiences here, so I will be back.

Had a great time here with my boy while we were here in Sac for business. Unique and enjoyable experience. Ill go back whenever Im in town.

Great place to chill and hang out with friends.

Good food; great atmosphere!

Fun place! Food was just ok. The Sriracha Fries were a good idea but execution was...meh. The fries themselves werent that great. It was all in the toppings, which didnt mix through all the fries very well. Some kick but not too spicy. Decent beer selection. The adult shakes were incredible!! So tasty!Most games & karaoke room are charged by the hour. Bowling is charged per person. You can just go for the food/drinks without playing the games and its still a really fun atmosphere. The 360 bar is a very social area.

So much space and so many things to do here. You can play Billiards, go bowling, karaoke, virtual reality, arcade games, jumbo size Connect Four which is my favorite, and much more games. I go for the drinks, games, and hot wings!

Great place to hangout after the game crowded though

This place is nice, the food is good with lots of options. They have games including bowling that you can play. Everyone seems to enjoy the bar. Great place to do parties.

Good food, good service, great atmosphere

Lots to do. The food is innovative and delicious. The mixed drinks are creative and yummy. So many games/activities!

Food was really good. Nice menu selections. Excellent service. A little pricey.
