    LEMON DROP MEXICAN CANDY IT'S GIVING TROPICAL

    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.

    Sunday Drag Brunch

    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

    Ala A la Bama Chicken Sandwich
    Ali L.

    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.

To be fair, I'm from New England, so the heat probably hit me harder than most. The food was fine, nothing particularly memorable, but I wasn't expecting it to be a culinary highlight. The main frustration was that the rubber tees kept coming loose from the tee-off area, and it was nearly impossible to get them back in place. The games on the computer were also confusing to navigate, so we ended up cycling through them just trying to figure things out. On the positive side, our server was excellent. He was attentive throughout the visit and even brought me a bag of ice when I mentioned how hot I was and asked him for some ice to cool off. Despite the minor hiccups, my family still had a great time celebrating together.

Previously they had some sort of unlimited pass for a certain amount of time in a day, that included attractions. That no longer exists. We decided to just load a card with funds, which previously you could use points for attractions. They didn't explain at the front counter they don't warn folks points no longer work for attractions, so we had to find out at the bumper cars that we have to go back up front and buy attraction credits at just shy of $8 a pop. During our visit on a Sunday, we ended up not seeing a single person doing bumper cars, rock wall, or lazer tag which normally being used regularly on a weekend day. Plus, the number of people on a weekend reminded us of the number that would be there on an early afternoon on a weekday. Covid killed off the buffet, the recent buy out killed off their decent all in pass for x amount for x amount of time. Now are running things a bit more like their competitors Alley Cats & Main Event. Yet there really hasn't been anything updated or improved upon in the 3 or 4 months that they have become Gametime. The cost is about the same as Main Event which is a better maintained place. While they have the indoor rock wall and bumper cars Alley cats has mini-golf and other outdoor rides. I don't expect Gametime to survive without bringing back the thing that brought people to Itz, even if there is some sort of price increase or slight change in set up. Like one unlimited pass for games and an upgrade for attractions... or vice versa. Cause there are to many just unlimited game play places in the area.

You can bowl, play at the arcade, dine in at their bar or catch a film. Do note that if you're there to watch a movie they have an automated kiosk before you walk to the attendant where you can purchase & print your tickets. If you purchase your tickets online then you can scan your QR code or manually enter the confirmation code & it will print your tickets out for you. How cool is that? AMC Theatres could never !

I ordered their $11 Mexican Street Dawg meal that came w/fries & then got a root beer to drink and a kids popcorn as it's not a movie night without it. Everything was delicious. My only critique is the bun to meat ratio was way off. I understand wanting to elevate the dish and make it more filling, but I wound up having to discard half the bun as it was too much bread. My husband had a Cheeseburger meal with fries and an Icee to drink. No complaints from his end. Overall this was a great experience for us. The theatre was clean, recliners were new and very comfortable & the bathrooms were also well maintained. My husband and I can't wait to come back.
