Our server, I do not remember his name, was excellent. We had 4 young kids with us and he was super friendly and accommodating. Place was super busy but he was really working hard. Young guy, I'm sure the powers that be know who I speak of. Give that man a raise. On the flip side, the woman running the host table on entry was not so warm. She did not acknowledge or care to make eye contact with my wife and I for a solid minute upon entry. It gave off some bad vibes. Our friends joined us a few minutes later and had the same experience. Not cool, ma'am. This was Saturday at 3 pm and was not busy at that time. read more

Had a blast at Punch Bowl Social! Darts were so fun and there is so much to do like bowling and karaoke. We didn't get to the karaoke this time, but the high energy throughout the place is great for a group. The biggest surprise was the food. I didn't know they had such a good menu, but everything we had was surprisingly great. We tried a bit of everything.. the street corn, bao buns, and wings were all on point. New menu is great! Perfect spot if you want a fun atmosphere with actually good food and drinks. Service was lovely even tho our server was pretty new! read more

Fun place! Good food! We had the cucumber vodka punch bowel (great deal for the price!), nachos with yummy carnitas , chicken quesadilla, Thai wings, and the chicken sandwich with tots. Food was so good, came out quick, and they were very kind with our requests. We would love to come back when we are in town. Servers were fast and attentive and tolerated us getting up to play games during their service! read more

This place is intense! The ambience after 5pm is chaotic and crazy, exactly what you'd expect on a Friday night! Lots of children, bday parties and adult parties everywhere you turn. Food is phenomenally good - we had a few apps and drinks before jetting to another more casual spot; there was no chance of getting onto any games. Don't sleep on this place for a fun night - come early and stay for the fun! read more

We've always enjoyed going to Punch Bowl Social and almost each time we go, there's something new! We enjoyed an hour of darts - SO fun especially with the gifs that play after each throw We split a It's Giving Tropical punch bowl between 4 of us and it was plenty to drink! It lives up to its name - it gives tropical vibes for sure! After, I had a Honey Berry Fizz non-alcoholic drink and was very impressed! We also split pretzel bites, chips/guacamole/salsa, a chicken quesadilla, and cilantro honey boneless wings. Each sharable was delicious! We all walked away plenty full. Before heading out, we stopped by the fun Photo Booth wall in the bath (passed the bathrooms) and had so much fun with the different settings! One of my favorite parts about going to Punch Bowl Social is how easy parking is! There's a free underground, heated garage directly beneath the restaurant and it's easy to take the stairs or elevator up one floor and end up very close to the check-in stand. While we were here, there was a larger party celebrating a wedding! They reserved some of the interactive games, but it didn't dampen our experience at all. Party reservations is certainly something to look into! read more

Honestly such a vibe!! The apps and drinks are a great touch to an already eclectic scene filled with games and so much to do! We went here to celebrate a friends birthday and were met with so much kindness by the wait staff. They really went above and beyond to make it a special day! I ordered a burger with fries along with some wings and was not disappointed! The meal was great, quick and a good value for the price! Would definitely come here again!! read more

I had no idea that Punch Bowl had Brunch and others must not either because it was very quiet mid-day on a Saturday. I actually preferred their brunch over their typical lunch/dinner menu, which is why I am giving them 5 stars for this experience. The portions sizes were large for the cost of the menu items and overall tasted amazing. The Avocado Toast bread was thick and chewy with perfectly cooked eggs on top. If you like spicy, make sure to smother your breakfast burrito in queso! Plus, both came with a side salad to balance out your meal. Our server was still learning and our drinks took longer than expected, but that was my only complaint. Our group was not interested in sticking around and playing games, but there are several things to do including bowling if you want to make this more of an event than just a dinner. read more

The food is good here but the meat to fry portion for the dirty fries is criminal. They give you a baby palm size of meat and then all sauce and onion. It didn't taste bad but i would have liked to actually get more meat on my order that was "con carnitas" the service is not horrible but it's also not great, the staff is friendly, it's a nice place to come get some good drinks. But overall I think I'd steer clear from some menu items. read more

Decided to check out PBS after having dinner at the West End. We had a larger group and needed somewhere to hang out a bit longer. It was a Wednesday night, wasn't too busy. I'm pretty sure they have 3 bars but only the main big bar was open. It was a bit slow getting drinks. I ordered a drink from the specialty holiday menu. I ordered "we slept in", but after my friend received her drink that looked identical to mine I realized the bartender made me the wrong drink. He did not offer to remake it but did apologize for the mix up. My cousins decided to play pool and the rest of us just kind of chilled in the area around them. We did find a cute photo booth setup and took a few pics. PBS offers quite a bit to do. They have karaoke, bowling, jenga, board games, darts and bit more. I will say that it was a bit annoying that out of the 3 entrances only 1 was open. It was freezing outside and would have been nice to use the entrance/exit connected to the elevator area to go back to the underground parking lot. Also the fact that the side of the main entrance that was open, everything was already shut down on that side (restaurant & bar area). read more

Fun place to stop at! We were here a few weekends ago to celebrate some friends birthdays in the karaoke rooms and 10/10 recommend. After our karaoke time was up we had plenty of other activities to keep us busy for a few hours (arcade games anyone?) before heading home. Drinks were average with SLP pricing, atmosphere couldn't be beat. We will be back again! read more

We ate in the bar around 7 on a Friday night. The vibe was kind of weird. It feels like they don't know if they want to be a sports bar, or family friendly, or loud/musicy, etc. I wish desperately they had more actual punch bowls hahaha, really misleading with the name and would set them apart! The food was expensive so we opted for a side salad and fries. The salad was actually fantastic haha, and the menu did have good variety. The espresso martini was icky. Overall would only come back to try out some games. Service was good, but we didn't know if we'd be Served in the bar for like 10 mins - the front desk should tell you! read more

I came here during a weekday to meet my co-workers for happy hour. I have not been here before so I wasn't sure what to expect. It is a wonderful place for a happy hour and there is something for everyone. If you wanted to be more on the active side, there are bowling alleys, skee ball games, bocce ball, arcade games, etc. The place was so large I did not have a chance to explore the whole place. We decided to sit down and grab something to drink and eat instead. The menu had a good variety of options and prices were very reasonable for the portions you receive. And for the non-drinkers, there is a nice cocktail menu as well. The food was very tasty and we were happy with everything that we ordered. We got the hummus, rosemary fries, bbq pork sliders, pretzel bites and nachos. The restaurant is slightly nostalgic and a throwback to the 80's. Lots of people so the ambience is lively but can be a bit loud if you're trying to have a conversation. As this is in a large outdoor shopping mall, the parking is underground so you'll have to walk a little bit to get to the restaurant. I had fun and would come back for another happy hour. read more

I love punch bowl social to hang out with friends for karaoke and get some decent eats. There's plenty of parking (whether you want a covered garage that connects directly to punch bowl or another lot). Their happy hour menu is pretty good too with $5 drinks and food for a steal (can't beat the 4 for $10 tacos). The karaoke rooms are like a big storage unit so there's no noise cancellation - prepared for others to hear ya sing read more

The manager, Tom, was an incredible help and we truly appreciate his assistance. He was instrumental in accommodating our large group, and we all had a fantastic time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!! 10/10 experience. We will be back again! read more

I ended up here with a friend and it was a dead night but they had trivia. The place is very large and has bowling, darts, as well as all types of other games. We did not play any games because we were just catching up. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were very nice they have a large selection of beer and cocktails but if you are a wine drinker this is not the place for you. There is a limited amount and canned wine??@!? Yes, you read that right. The food was actually surprisingly good. The Brussels sprouts came in a giant serving and were packed with flavor. The wings were juicy and not the anorexic ones you get in some places. The tacos were very tasty as well. The beans well could use some help but were just a side to the tacos. Overall the food was very good. The portion size was large. The bar had some sort of tiki-like feel with the bartenders dressed in Hawaiian shirts. The mood was kinda dead because it was a weeknight but trivia was going on keeping it alive. This location also has underground parking very close by so you can park for free and just walk around. read more

A fun place to meet up with friends for a night out! The service is nice and the menu is unique. We ended up getting one of their punch bowls and it was fantastic! The appetizers of fries and queso were delicious. The atmosphere is fun here and I'd say it's the perfect place to start a night out. It's even better that you can pay your tab via QR code to expedite the process! read more

My brother and sister were in town and we decided to have some brunch on a Saturday. We parked in the parking garage at the West End in St Louis Park and walked into a blustery and cold day outside. We entered the establishment, and it is HUGE! They have a bowling alley, bags and it seems like 4 bars. We sat down at ten on a Saturday and it was pretty empty. I ordered a Surly Furious and they have a brunch menu, but I ordered off of the regular menu, a Rueben and they let me sub a side salad for the fries. I loved that. The food came out and it was plentiful, and the Rueben was delicious, lots of meat and sauerkraut and dressing and just great. The salad was spectacular as well with wonderful Caesar dressing on the side. We had lots of laughs and just a fantastic time. My only complaint is that it was a little pricey, but a great lunch overall. read more

I've been to the Punchbowl Social several times. I can appreciate the underground parking and all the activities Ambiance 3/5 (for this particular event) Fun environment from bowling, karaoke, darts, and games. This occasion was a Galantine's event which sectioned off in the back. The registration was somewhat confusing and I was redirected to the front after coming to the sectioned off event. Decorations were cute, bracelet table, heart sunglasses, and the photo booth was our favorite. The space was very limited, outside of the bar seating, it was tight. They should really invest in some decent sized tables outside of the small logs tables which barely held anything. Service 4/5 The staff was friendly however they had one man working the event which was unfortunate because he was clearly stretched thin attempting to assist everyone. The drinks took awhile and arrived at different times for each of us- although he kept us in the loop the whole time. Food and drinks 4/5 Never disappoints, I ordered Quesadillas, 2 drinks and water. We were disappointed the ticket didn't come with a complimentary drink. Drinks were cute and tasty in line w/the theme. Cost 2/5 Tickets plus tax $20 Food $80 including tip. Overall I give the event 2/5 because we could have just as well showed up to Punch Bowl and had the same experience, minus the photo booth which was the highlight for us. Outside of that, we brought games, space was very limited, and they didn't have enough servers. We would go back to Punch Bowl however wouldn't repeat this event. It felt like a waste of money to be honest. Our server was wonderful! read more

Food: We did a corporate event and we tried almost all of the appetizers on the list! They were all divine. Such a fun variety of items and vegetarian dishes too. Favorites were the chicken quesadilla and OMG the brussel sprouts. and the lovely warm breads made to order. the dinner menu looked fabulous and we will be back to try it all. just knowing how amazing the apps were is enough info to know that everything else will be amazing as well. Ambiance: Very hip and fun. Gorgeous spaces and lots of different nooks and crannies. Beautiful bar and bowling area. Fun games available with a game card. Service: Steller in the restaurant and bar area. The waiters were attentive and on top of it and very flexible with our plans of wanting to bowl after appetizers. All of the waiters and waitresses were so kind to us. We did have a LOT of issues with the bowling area. It was disappointing because when you are paying that much money, and when you have lots of important high paid guests for a very short time in the evening... and you are sitting there for 30 mins trying to figure out how to get the bowling to start? We had to get the attendant about 5 times and honestly that was unacceptable. It was very frustrating. Everyone else's lanes were working fine. And it added insult to injury for the woman to be annoyed with us that our bowling lane wasn't working - she just kept saying it will work. But it didn't. Exhausting. I know she wasn't responsible for bowling not working but she didn't seem to have the skill or patience to really figure it out once and for all or even come over to our bowling area. The only other negative thing: if you are at the bowling area, there is NOT a server that would come over and take your drink order (or food order). You can to go to the bar and order your drink and put it on the tab. It just made it a lot of back and forth in an already crowded and busy place. I would recommend sending a waiter over to the bowling area to take orders and clear plates. All in all it was a great expereience with incredible food. But the group events need some work and more coordination to make the night more smooth and less frustrating. read more

I'm not sure really what to say about this place...I guess the best description I can say is that it's kind of a fun place to hang around but you're going to pay for it? I got these wings, thinking that for $15, I'll most certainly get a small basket right? Nope, I got SIX wings. I realize it's on the shareable menu but six? I would need 2 of these for a decent meal. The saving grace is they were pretty good, but not $2.75 per wing good. read more

I have always wanted to check out Punch Bowl Social. I finally was able to stop in there for a quick bite to eat before heading to the #B1GWBBT last weekend. I loved the environment. The energy was fun and inviting, these shrimp tacos were fresh and tasty, and the cocktail selection sounded delicious as well. I could totally see this being a blast as a date night or a fun time out with friends. Looking forward to when I can spend a little more time there exploring the games and menú. read more

Hubs and I went here for a date day and to have brunch before some bowling. We were seated quickly and had great service from host to server to bowling staff. The food was pretty good! I really liked the "frosé" - it was refreshing and not too sweet. The chicken and biscuits had a nice crunch to the chicken and the potatoes were to die for. Like deep fried mashed potatoes. The bowling was a let down. There isn't any service at the lanes and the system itself seems pretty cheaply made. The bowling balls would hit each other in the return shoot and just get stuck too far to reach them. There weren't enough balls for all of the people bowling so we had to share with strangers next to us and constantly sanitize our hands. The seats are torn up and in terrible shape. I think this area needs a massive refresh and rethink. read more

This was our first time at Punchbowl social we went there for New Year's Eve party event. We purchased VIP tickets to bowl , Jenga, foosball, and a lot of other little cute games. We also had buffet of food and free drinking tickets. With a glass of champagne and a confetti gun. This is such a cute place I loved it. I definitely would advise people to go there for any kind of adult birthday party or work event that they would throw for a group of people. Parking was very easy they have their own parking garage with the elevator. It was the best way to bring a New Year's Eve without the pressure of getting super dressed up and being uncomfortable. We had the best time and the food was great. I will definitely be returning. 10/10 read more

I came here for a work holiday party and it's the perfect spot for big groups. They have bowling, karaoke, and various games throughout the facility. It's quite big in the inside with lots of seating. There is underground parking perfect for the cold months and an elevator to take you directly to Punch Bowl but it can be confusing since the signage isn't the best. As far as the food the portions are big and their drinks are good but pricey. Plus our group didn't know this but there is a 90 minute limit on your table especially on busy nights. Our server was great for our table of 15 and then there's an automatic charge with big groups of 18% immediately added to your tab. I got the quesadilla and strawberry daiquiri which were both good! read more

Punch Bowl Social in St Louis Park is an awesome spot to take friends to enjoy good food, fun games, draft beers and vibes. You can book a Karaoke room, go bowling, or book to play some of the othe games. Went with friends recently for dinner and we even got to squeeze some card games in. I got the Colorado Bison Patty Melt during my last visit- messy, greasy, flavorful and exactly how a patty melt should be. With roasted jalapenos and onions, gruyere cheese on marble rye and a side of horeseradishy comeback sauce, it was so good that It's already the top contender to be ordered whenever I return. I've been to PBS pre-pandemic as well, and the menu is definitely different than it was before (although I think the menu updates every so often). I had gone for happy hours with co-workers and a birthday party, and one of my favorite items were the boozy shakes, so I hope they bring those back. read more

This place is good. It's crowded but it's the best place to have food drinks and some game time. The menu had some good options and loved the food. The cocktail drinks could have been much much better. I ordered old fashioned and it's too strong.
