Y2K party they threw was live I had 99 & 2000 music all night. I cut up and so did everyone else! WE WAS OUTSIDE
We had a great time celebrating my brother's birthday! The place is huge with several bowling alley areas, arcade games, a karaoke room, full bar, shoe rentals for bowling, and rooms for special parties with games like Jenga, paddle ball, and more. It's perfect for a group gathering of fun activities, drinks, and food! . We had a party of 21 and they provided us with one of the first rooms once you enter the place. The staff were friendly and our server Erica was attentive and great! She helped facilitate our food order: we did two platter of tacos that was served in a platter of chicken, pulled pork, and shrimp accompanied with cilantro, thinly sliced onion and two kinds of sauces for topping. I believe one was a chipotle sauce the other a crema. We got corn and flour tortillas where everyone built their own taco.. it was good, my favorite was the chicken tacos that i used the corn tortilla with. Then we had four orders of the wings with a variety of seasonings: the Thai chil and buffalo sauce was a hit! We had to do a second round of orders. They were crispy and flavorful. The nachos were good we had two platters of it. They custom the boneless chicken pipers for our party and they were delicious served with three different sauces. The drinks were also good. From apetol spritz, to tide, and variety of beer on tap. We had a great time and would recommend for a fun time with friends and family. It's like an adult version of Dave and Buster. The only thing I want to add was it was hard to reach a staff member to get help with preplanning the party ideas. I left a vm and asked for someone to call in the comment section of my reservation and no body got back to me. Luckily I had my sister try and she got through.
We expected a crowd for Easter Sunday brunch, but it was nearly dead. It was our first visit, so we didn't know what to expect, but we loved the vibe. There are table games you can borrow for free + plenty of pay to play opportunities: ping pong, pool, bowling, even karaoke. There were plenty of insta-worthy spots for pics, and they even offered a selfie station (with GIF option) with the opportunity to downloads pics from online for free. I got tacos and my sister had a crab cake benedict. The food and service was wonderful (thanks, Nathan!). As was the location. Originally I gave it four stars, but after further consideration, I don't have anything constructive to say, so I'm giving it five.
What a fabulous experience at Punch Bowl Social! This was my very first time attending their Sunday Drag Brunch--and let me just say, I was blown away! The energy was electric, the queens were hilarious and so talented, and the entire event was flawlessly led by the incredible Venus Vogue, who brought charisma, sass, and heart to the stage. Everything felt effortless--from the entertainment to the service. Our server was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed without ever disrupting the show. Major props! Let's talk food: the waffles? Absolutely delicious. And their signature punch bowl? A total hit. It brought the brunch full circle and kept the good vibes flowing. If you're looking for a fun, unforgettable Sunday outing with great food, drinks, and entertainment, this is it. I can't recommend it enough--go experience it for yourself!
This is a great place to visit for a group of friends looking for an outing in Deep Ellum. There are a plethora of games here such as bowling and jenga. My friends and I came for bingo which was cool. Our tables were a bit sticky and the salad I ordered wasn't much to be desired as the dressing was very runny. The Brussels sprouts were really good.
Okay okay, probably one of my favorite bars that we checked out while visiting the downtown Dallas area. We ended up staying at this bar for quite some time. My sister in law was actually the one who told us to come here, as she had come the week prior and really liked it. So we decided to check it out. First of all, the vibe in here is so great. We actually entered through a back area that I think is more of a sit down restaurant, but they had a host sitting there and he greeted us immediately. He told us that we could just walk through and reach the bar area, so we did. Once we got to the other side, realized just how cool this place is. They have games, including a mini bowling alley, pool, darts and more. Just such a cool vibe. We did put our name down on the list for bowling, but I guess there was a huge party right in front of us, so it was a bit of a wait. By the time it was our time to bowl, we had already called our uber. Next time though! We did get to take photos in the photo booth. Loved that they had that. So fun! We decided to grab a seat at the bar, which is always my favorite place to sit at outside of Vegas because there's no casino game staring back in your face. The bartender was great and got us our cocktails quickly. I can't remember what I had exactly, but I did like it. The best part of this place? The people watching and music. They had old school music videos playing and my husband and I were having such a great time listening and reminiscing on songs we haven't heard in years. At one point, there was even a police officer I think working the front and checking IDs? That was kinda funny to watch. Again, loved the vibe here and would DEFINITELY recommend as a cool bar to check out in downtown Dallas.
I love love LOVE this place! It's very modern and aesthetically pleasing. The artwork and light fixtures were soo gorgeous. I went during the day on a Saturday and baby, the drinks were amazing. I got the lemon drop but with tequila and it was perfection. I had like 4 of them because they were so good! Our server was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. We also went bowling and had a great time! Would definitely recommend if you want to go somewhere eclectic, because it's a one stop shop for food, drinks, and fun!
This place has so much potential, but unfortunately I thought it was only average in terms of drinks, atmosphere, and activities. From the outside, the building doesn't look too big, but once you enter, you realize that the space is massive, with multiple floors and even outdoor patio seating upstairs. There is a main bar situated in the center of the lower floor space with many beers on tap. Pricing is fair, but you definitely pay for the convenience of being at a location that has many activity options. Downstairs activities include: karaoke, ping pong tables, bowling, and pinball machines. Upstairs, there's mini bowling, darts, scrabble, and an outdoor area overlooking the main street. Compared to a Dave's & Buster, this place is a lot more chill and has a relaxed vibe where you can hang out and catch up with your friends.
Good place to hang out and let loose. Love coming in here when I'm in town to grab a beer. Staff is always friendly and don't mind explaining their beer selection. Check them out if you're around
Went here for dinner on a Sunday, the waiter said they were short on staff and if we'd be okay with ordering at the bar, we went to order at the bar and they ended up assigning a waiter to us anyway. A bit confusing but the idea and ambiance of the restaurant is unique. They have a lot to do such as pool, bowling, karaoke, etc. If we didn't have a place to be I'd probably stay longer. The food it self was also pretty good. We got the chicken sandwich which was fresh and hot, mediocre fries. Overall if you want many things to do along with eating, it's a nice spot!
My sisters and I went to Punch Bowl social for our frequent outing and we will DEFINITELY be back! The food was good the drinks were great and the service was perfect for the atmosphere. Our waitress was Naan, she was extremely attentive, friendly and made sure to check in on often. She kept the food and drinks coming and was really accommodating to our party even tho we showed up at different times. I loved the way she monitored and came to the table each time one of us showed up to see if we needed anything. There were several things to go here but we only ate, bowled and did karaoke. The mechanical bull wasn't being operated that night so we couldn't ride but it was all good. Thomas was the attendant that assisted us with bowling and Karaoke. He was super nice and made our night even more memorable. He was very down to earth, showed us how to setup bowling and the karaoke, he even let us know when it was time for his shift to end so we wouldn't be wondering where our help would come from. There was another guy helping us after Thomas left but I didn't catch his name, he was great! You can tell they genuinely love working for punch bowl social which makes the customer experience 1000% better. Looking to plan more events here in the future.
I really wanna like this place because the concept is cool, but every time I come in it is the same problems. For the good part, we were sat immediately on a Saturday night. Our waiter was nice and took our orders immediately. That was great! Now on three separate occasions and different days of the week they are always out of the featured punch and the watermelon punch. It will either get one or both! I do not understand how you can be PUNCH Bowl social, have three on the menu, and only have one. I don't understand why this happens every time I'm there. I ended up getting a rum and coke and then their night in Jalisco drink. I will say you are better ordering off menu because the drinks they have on the menu never taste good and don't have a consistent flavor. We ordered some food next and the waiter didn't bring silverware or napkins and we had to wait 15 minutes just to eat or wipe our hands. This wasn't a fact of it being busty, because we can see all the waiters sitting in a corner laughing and talking, he just kept forgetting to come back. I don't think I will put this on my list of faves in dallas.
Where do I begin. Was excited to go and celebrate my friends birthday. The atmosphere was really nice and the location was packed however, the drinks were weak, food did not look that advertising. The ranch was super watery. Food took a long time to come out. One of the Bowling lanes was closed and when we asked about karaoke we were told that someone stole the mics. The reason for my friend picking this location was mainly for karaoke so it sucks that we had to leave and go elsewhere to do karaoke. Staff was not all that great. They did not explain things and did nothing know things that I feel they should have known.

Chrissy, thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're…
The bar area in the back where they have the "arcade" and bowling is very small. It gives a mini Dave and busters meets bowlero vibe. We didn't stay long. Came in on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend and it wasn't busy it anything. Plenty of TVs read more

I tried this spot on a Friday night with friends. I got a cheeseburger and fries. The burger was pretty good, as well as the fries. I loved that this spot has different games and activities such as bowling to do. Makes it fun. However, our service while there was just average. Took a while to be serviced and for our order to be taken and it wasn't packed. My friends and I still had a pretty good time, and our food was pretty good. read more

This is such a fun Dallas spot and has become one of our recent favs! The entire staff and management are so welcoming and nice and consistently go out of their way to make it a great experience. The space is expansive as well with three stories and tons of private rooms and pretty much every activity you could want from pool, darts, an arcade, ping pong, karaoke, giant Jenga, several lounges, bowling, mini bowling, corn hole, and board games. It's a gem for sure and we highly recommend. Ask for Taron "T" and Nathan for your server and they'll make sure you're taken care of! read more
Cool gaming spot, with fairly full bar and good food. Sit at the bar, be seated at a table, or occupy one of the small couch and chair seating areas scattered around by the various games. Best of all; the games are separated into small areas throughout - each spot suitable for small to medium size groups. This turns a bigspace into a lot of smaller more intimate areas. But don't be misled by my use of the word 'intimate.' PBS is very brightly illuminated; not a spot for romantic liasons. It is a young and loud crowd, and the only wine is in cans - but heck, I don't drink wine anyway. Check it out! read more

Drinks were good cannot complain on that end. I have never been to punch bowl social and the one in Miami was opened briefly once COVID struck. I did enjoy the atmosphere and cocktail bar vibe however I was completely lost on what activities were offered and wish the hostess informed us. Bowling was cool but I was looking forward to duckpin bowling. read more

Punch Bowl was so much fun, I'm glad they added this place to Deep Ellum. I went for my birthday and it's basically an adult playground, and a good place for big groups. It's two stories, with bar, dining in, bowling alleys, darts, arcade games, balcony, and karaoke rooms. This place is spacious, chill, and has great customer service. I didn't try any of the food, drinks and shots were, but Punch Bowl is worth going back to try. read more

2019 Yelp 120 Challenge - #91 What an amazing place to go with friends. This location is one of many Punch Bowl Socials located around the United States. They have locations in Denver, California, and new ones opening in 2020. They have quite a bit of activities and yummy food all in the same location. - Karaoke - Partee - Bowling - Vintage Aracde Bowling - Pin Pong - Giant Scrabble - Cornhole There is also an entire different side that is more casual and chill than the entrance with activities. It has some pretty cool decor and great vibe. read more

We came here to celebrate a bachelorette and I'm not super impressed honestly. We called to let them know in advance but I didn't really feel they acknowledged our special event. I ordered the whiskey diet cocktail which was delicious but my quesadilla was stuffed with peppers and onions with barely any meat or cheese. Our server was really sweet, but I felt very much like we overstayed our welcome by the end of our meal. We wandered our way upstairs and stumbled across karaoke but had some trouble finding someone to help us set it up. The overall experience was lackluster for a place that's marketed for fun parties, big groups, and events. read more

Great location, great vibes, DELICIOUS food for SURE! My first visit was actually for the grand opening. Super excited to be invited and the ambience & energy were on 10. Drinks and food flowing everywhere. Let me tell you...the shrimp burger is EVERYTHING! I had the mini version, but the 2nd time I visited, I recommended it the entire table of girls I was with, they loved it. All shrimp, all flavor, no fillers. Got a big group? Get the Green Chorizo Fries. A yummy, shareable cheesy bowl of hot fries covered in chorizo, peppers and saucy goodness. The bartenders were great, very creative recipes. Something for everyone. The most recent time I went for a birthday, started off pretty rocky with our first waitress, but the manager and another sweet, kind waitress came and saved our day, our visit ended on a happy note. You can't say "no" to free shots and hot, buttered biscuits. I like this place for a fun time! There's bowling, music, old school arcade games, karaoke...such a cool place for a group outing or an intimate date. All around good time! read more

Came in pretty early on a Friday night. We were told to "sit wherever" after the hostess explained the various activities and their locations inside the place. We decided to pick a table by the bar. We waited and waited and waited. Apparently it isn't self seating. But ok. Our server got us some menus, walked us through it and was super wonderful and patient with us. We got Arnold Palmer punch bowl, but it was single servings so not really a bowl. We ended up with the crab wonton dip as a starter. I got the buffalo wings and my sister got the poblano Mac and cheese and added chorizo. The wonton dip was great. Cheesy but still crabby. The chips were light and perfectly crispy. My sisters Mac and cheese was next level. It was cheesy, spicy, and wonderful. My only slight critique is it was a little oily. The buffalo wings were mediocre. They spice was good hot and flavorful. But the meat was pretty dry on the inside. I'd return but would skip the wings! We walked around and saw giant Jenga, bowling, pinball and stuff. Most of the bigger games are $10 and the pinball/arcade games are $1.50. We didn't play any games but it looked cool. read more

Do they have reserved areas for birthday parties and is it difficult to get a bowling lane?
They have an events coordinator that walks you through the process . Not too difficult . Just gotta do it in advanced . As for bowling , it's not a true bowling lane like you would see at a real bowling alley . The ball is about the size of a…

Hi Savanah! We are all ages until 10pm, and at 10pm we are exclusively 21+!

General deep ellum parking - street and paid surface lots.
Is it pretty dog friendly? A patio area at least?
Per the current manager: Dogs are not allowed unless they are certified service animals
How many bowling lanes are at this location?
10 according to their website. They are spread around the venue so I didn't count, but it sounds accurate.
