Reviews for Punch Bowl Social Milwaukee in Milwaukee, WI

I went here with a group of friends to celebrate my birthday. There weren?t a ton of people here on a Saturday. They have items... on their menu that are not available (probably due to supply chain issues). The food was good. The karaoke and bowling were fun.The issue we ran into was being ignored by the bar tenders upstairs. We couldn?t get drinks downstairs since they closed the bardown early. My friends waited at the bar for 15 minutes without getting helped. The bar tender made eye contact several timesbut flat out ignored my friends, whom one of them is pregnant and just wanted a glass of water. My friends said that theywitnessed the bar tenders on their phones as well. When I went up there with cash, they helped me right away. I would just thinkif it?s a slower night and if you have a big group of people who brought you a lot of business, you would want to serve them.Overall, it was an okay experience. Read more

I?ve never had a truly bad restaurant experience until tonight. When we arrived the place was pretty quiet really no one was... there except some people bowling. We were asked to go upstairs, pick any seat, and we can order. We sat at the bar and a bartender did come and get our orders pretty quick. Then we waited, for over 45 minutes. In those 45 minutes the bar tender startedto ignore us or avoid us completely. We flagged down a waitress who was so incredibly nice, and asked her where our food was.Turns out our food had been sitting in the back and no one came to service us. When we got it it was very cold, and my husbands?burger? was supposed to have all this stuff on it, but instead it was just a cold bison patty with a tiny piece of cheese. Mytacos were ice cold and while the fries we got were good it just wasn?t great especially for the price. This place could be coolbut I felt like we were just ignored and would we have gotten our food if we didn?t ask? When we left, we noticed the downstairswas full of people eating, which was not the case an hour ago when we were told we had to eat upstairs. Everyone else downstairswas eating why did we have to go upstairs to be ignored? The manager was at the bar where we were the entire time and didn?t askus once if we were okay or needed anything, no one did. I?ve never had an experience like this before, and when we did talk tothe manager they did offer to help us out next time, but we live 2 hours away and this was a special trip down for an event. Idon?t think we?ll be back. This place is good for drinks and games and that?s it. Read more

I just arrived in Milwaukee for the first time and needed a place to eat. Stumbled on this place and the atmosphere seemed fun.... There was a Bucks home game so the place was lively. Staff was friendly and the drinks were very good. Only big dissapointmentwas the food. I ordered the Bison Burger Patty Melt thinking it would be amazing. What arrived at my table was a very dry pattymelt with barely any cheese and definately no melt. Burger was definately from a frozen patty and was dry. Fries were justordinary, not bad not great.

We booked for private event at 1st floor around 40 people and had a great time. The drink selection was great

Oh my gosh, Ty was absolutely thee best! My family, and I had stopped by after a show at St. Kate?s. We couldn?t quite find a... drink on the menu that we wanted to drink? so, after her asking questions about the things we liked, she created us a CUSTOMPunch Bowl! Omgness, it was a delicious. It was created out of our liquor of choice for the night (Jameson). The food wasdelicious, and the girls enjoyed playing games. I don?t see why we shouldn?t do this again. Thank you Ty, abs Punch Bowl foryour hospitality. Read more

Awesome happy hour drinks in an excellent location. The staff was friendly and professional! There's a bowling alley which was... fun and other games, as well. If you're looking for a fun time visit the Punch Bowl. We ordered the humus with veggies, wings,sheet load of nachos with chicken, zucchini and all the other regular toppings, rosemary fries, and mac and cheese. Everythingand I mean everything was to our satisfaction and very pleasing to my palate. Oh and the key lime pie was so delicious. Ifyou're looking for great food and entertainment you must experience this place. So proud of the deer district! UPDATE: justvisited and the CHICKEN AND WAFFLES are a MUST ORDER!!! SO FLAVORFUL, JUICY AND THE, WAFFLES JUST DELICIOUS. It's fried a bitdark BUT don't let that scare you. EVERYTHING we ordered in this picture was tasty. Read more

I went to punch bowl social with some neighbors and their children to watch the NCAA games and figured I would give it a shot... after the reopening. I am only giving it 2 stars because the ambiance is great and there is potential. The building was notcrowded and their staff struggled to make drinks, they didn't know how to make an old fashioned or a spicy margarita even thoughit was on their menu. At one point they said they wouldn't be making cocktails due to it being too time consuming. The food wasaverage at best. As far as the games we tried to play foosball but they had no machines to dispense quarters and the bar managersaid they were out of quarters... The kids wanted to bowl but 4 of the 5 bowling lanes were "out of order" upstairs. This causeda 2 hour wait to bowl which we bypassed. We asked to have the game put on the TV by our group but was told that due to how theirtelevisions work they could only have 1 channel on in the entire building. It was an awful experience and I wouldn't besurprised if it closed down again. I will be spending my time and money at Mecca. Read more
