Such a cool vibe! The whole place feels funny and open and just fantastic to have drinks and hang out. Their adult milkshakes are delicious and the cocktails are nice and boozy. Its a great spot to end a night!

Best brunch spot in the city during this covid time lots of space to social distance.

My top place for delicious American food. Definitely one of the best places in the area. Really nothing but enjoyable experiences here, Ill be back. Prices are reasonable. I can see why they have so many reviews.

Wow, this place is a blast from the past. Very cool decor from a different era. Bowling, darts, shuffle board, arcade, and so much more. Met up with my girlfriend for a birthday drink, we sat in the downstairs bar. Jason our bartender was very nice. Loved the grain salad and minestrone soup Will return.

Very chill spot, the food was great, customer service was superb! Very clean and definitely will return!

This place was a big surprise. As an out of towner, I wasnt sure what to expect. This place is a great place to relax and have fun. It has almost everything you could want to kick back and enjoy an evening with friends.

Came here for my Birthday and everything was booked up. Wasnt able to enjoy any of the games. The food was plentiful and good. I want to go back and play some of the games.

Sunday brunch: Beautiful bloody Mary bar. Fantastic bacon. The French toast is really good as well.The location is great, parking is tricky, either garage ($14) or valet ($11).Space is massive. Cant imagine needing reservations for brunch.Service is prompt, kind and professional

Cute little bar/restaurant/activity center(?) with plenty to do if youve got friends in town or want to have a fun date.Girlfriend took me here on Valentines Day for a little bit of everything.We shared the Mer-Mans World punch bowl (pretty bomb) and some wings (good, but nothing special). Got some entrees to water down our punch-filled stomachs. Overall a pretty decent dining experience.Theyve got an area where you can check out some random, classic board games which we really enjoyed. Played a bit of Battleship in between the occasional bite & sip.After paying the bill we checked out what else they had to offer. The pricing for their various activities seemed reasonable. Attempted a round of bowling, but once we realized one of their karaoke rooms was empty - we couldnt help ourselves to an hour of singing.Great times were had. Could easily see ourselves coming back again or bringing some friends :)

Definitely a fun and social place to hang as the name suggests. My group and I ordered one of the large punch bowls, and although the price seemed a little high... once we tasted it we realized it was a good bang for the buck. LOTS OF BOOZE.There was the option to play bags by our table or use the decks of cards around the area. Also, if it hadn’t been a busy Saturday we would have loved to go bowling.The location is enormous! There must have been over 1000 people inside, but still plenty of space to move and hangout.

Expensive, yes but I still love it here. Such a welcoming and fun staff/environment. Great games and great drinks/food!

It is a good place to be but not on weekends. It is Too crowded. There are a lot of games you could enjoy with a good variety of drinks and food. There is karaoke but I havent tried. I would really like to when I go back there. The other attraction is VR games.

REALLY really fun spot for a random weekend afternoon or a date night! Ive been on both a Sunday afternoon and Friday night, and even though Friday night was more-crowded, it wasnt obnoxiously crowded. The place is *giant*, so the crowd gets spread out pretty well.Even on Friday night, there were 2 of us and we were able to bowl without a wait ($12 per person, per hour), which was shocking.The nachos are my favorite (they dont skimp on ANYthing), and the french fries are amazing, as are the tacos, but I wouldnt recommend the ceviche, as it was some shrimp in lemon juice with a handful of chips.Cocktails are also 100% worth it, and even though I was skeptical about their Manhattan at first, it actually wound up being pretty amazing.If you go on the weekend though, and want to sit at a table and not the bar, be sure to make a reservation!

Came here for a holiday party and it was excellent! The food in the buffet bar was hot, fresh and yummy. The cocktails were good as well I started with the strawberry daiquiri, and my husband had an old fashioned. They were both good. The service was great, very attentive and they had great suggestions on new drinks to try.The place is HUGE! It is definitely a great place to throw a party, there were at least 4 other parties going on and you could not even tell. In our section there was pool, darts, Scrabble, and a couple of arcade games which were pay to play. It was fun and we look forward to going back.

Fun place for the games! Very nice atmosphere. Our waiter was very informative & knowledgeable of the menu. My only complaint was my food. I ordered the wings, when I bit into them I expected them to be HOT, & when I say I hot Im not talking about flavor hot, Im talking about heat HOT. The wings were warm. Like they had been sitting for awhile. I ate them w/o complaint for I am not the one to send food back unless its just horrible. Overall nice place!. Ill be going back :)

Casual atmosphere, great servers. Was there for a company function which included bowling, appetizers and drinks. Great meeting place for groups

I was inspecting this place to be busy, but wow I never thought a place like this had all these games. It’s like a Chuck E. Cheese for adults! Such an amazing place. I love it. We will be back soon. ️ cannot wait.- Did a reservation for 8 and everyone came. We all enjoyed the bowling! The chandeliers tho!

Perfect place to spend quality time with friends. Many rooms with different activities. Friendly staff, nice food and drinks. Wonderful atmosphere.

I loved this place. The staff are all amazing and there is endless things to do. I was here as a guest of a large corporate group and had a blast. Good was also next-level. Cant say enough good things about it here.

Very cool place with a lot to do. Menu was smaller than expected but the rosemary fries were a different take.

The place is perfect for just about any body. Weather your very laid back or like to go out and be with the crowed . The place is huge and has 2 levels. Theres so much to do, plenty of nice spots and cool little Hangouts. They have karaoke, bowling, bar, and amazing food! Strongly recommend making reservations. If not there is a whole other side where you just find your own table but it does get packed.

PBS is basically all the awesome parts of a restaurant, bar, and arcade combined into one massive building.They have at least 10 different rooms all with interesting decor and lighting. We played the life-size Scrabble (for free) for an hour and loved it! Other activities include karoake, bowling, arcade games, pool, shuffle board, and virtual reality games!! Some games are free, others have fees. Didnt try the food but it looked delicious although a bit pricey. Music provided perfect vibes with great sound system in all rooms. The staff is amazingly friendly... we even got a personal tour when we walked in. Will absolutely be going back with friends. This place is perfect for big celebrations, happy hours, or any group event. Awesome addition to the neighborhood that will be competing with Emporium for business across the street.

Decent place for food & games. Was there for grand opening. Layout is funky and there arent enough activities if the place gets busy -- even for normal days Im sure. My drink wasnt very strong. Atmosphere is good though. Well see how things progress into the summer.

Very cool atmosphere and decor. Fun games, but service was a little slow/hard to get. Would still recommend for a night out with friends!

The bartender and food service was great. But some of the staff was HORRIBLE, very nasty and rude to us.

I didnt take a picture of my food but I had the brisket chili and it was delicious. I loved the atmosphere and all the games, its a great place for a night out with family or friends with a lot of fun options for things to do after dinner. Will definitely return.

This review is for the bowling:If I could give this place negative stars, I would. It is genuinely the worst bowling alley Ive ever come across by a factor of millions. I would rather sit and stare at a blank wall for an hour than bowl here.I like to bowl for fun. I dont care if I suck or do well. Just out to have a good time. But this place left me frustrated over something I never knew I could be frustrated over. See list below:1) The lane is extremely dented. The ball does not roll properly. You can hear all of the dents as the ball rolls over them.2) There is very little, if any, oil on the lane. Any spin causes it to go immediately into the gutter. This completely destroys any other way of bowling besides throwing it straight down the middle.3) The pins are on strings which changes the way they react to getting hit by the ball. Again, completely changing the game.4) And this is the most frustrating thing, the ball rack is in the way of the bowling lane. It literally prevents you from bowling correctly because it literally blocks the way. Every turn my foot would hit the stupid thing and throw me off. I dont even care if I suck, but if the bowling lane is blocked, then Im going to be frustrated. See the attached photo.Never ever, ever go to this place if you want to bowl. I never realized you could screw up making a bowling alley so bad. It seems pretty simple to get right.

Warehouse like atmosphere filled with bunch activities and fun vibe. Good place to gather a big group drink. A little louder than I thought like between bar and club.

My new favorite hangout in the west loop! There is sooo much to do and the place is beautiful. The food is great and the drinks are lovely.

I LOVE the Atmosphere and Ambiance but most of all the drinks are creative and forever changing. I Love the staff theyre always friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable and professional. The Food is Amazing and the menu changes are seasonal. I bring out of town guests and relatives here often. Parking in the area is HORRENDOUS so get there early and stay late. You will enjoy it.

A lot happening in this space but it took 20 minutes after we ordered wine and a vodka martini to get them... after the server couldnt remember my drink and she told my friend they were out if cab... who runs out of cab??? Food was okay, not great. If you want to hang out in cool, fun space in Fulton Market and have mediocre expectations for your food, youll have a great time. Im not trying to be a jerk, but you go there for the fun, not the food.

Ive been here several times and i normally have a good experience. This time was a little different. My main complaint is i felt bartending service was a little lack luster. Even though it wasnt crowded it took forever to get someone attention for service. Was never asked if i needed anything else even after clearly the drink and food was done. Overall felt displaced.I going to count this as a one off because normally i have a great time here. Also i tend to be on the second floor vs the first but im not sure why that would make a difference.

Food was alright, service was slow. Rooftop is very nice. Will give it another chance.

Cool spot for an event!

Really fun! Kind of expensive, because you have to pay for anything you do and the fees are kind of high. The food was really good, all of my friends enjoyed theirs. But, the atmosphere was the best part. Very cool and really artsy, people into photography will enjoy!

Came here with a large group of friends for a going a party. This place is HUGE and has a fun atmosphere. They have bowling lanes so you can bowl while pounding down some drinks. Also their drinks are great, they have a wide variety. Not to mention its quite the photogenic place. Perfect for photo opportunities. I highly recommend this place!

Fun place! Lots of noise so not ideal for catching up. Great for a date. Lots to see and do. Drinks are pricey as expected, and tasty. Bathrooms were ample but not very clean. Was a busy Saturday evening. FYI there are some gender neutral single stall bathrooms! #GoogleGuide #LetsGuide

We went to check it out and it has several levels / places to order food and drinks. The first floor diner was quiet. An area of the first floor and second (arcade) were closed for separate private events, expect that in summer after work hours. The happy hour drinks were good and our server was fast. We initially were excited by the Shuffleboard but it’s $5 per timed game. I got the superfood grain bowl, it was big, and everything in it was fresh. My friend got the Knockoff Burger and enjoyed it too. The music was pretty low and the windows were closed with AC on. With the tall ceilings and dark interiors it had a boarding school feel to me.

First time at Punch Bowl Social as a employee appreciation outing. Venue, layout and atmosphere was attractive. Drink variety and menu options definitely set this dress casual location apart. A few games of bocce ball and a quick bowl with coworkers. I look forward to attending again and would recommend to friends and tourist.

This very eclectic but yet trendy restaurant just opened here in Chicago recently. And my first time going was just an eye opener to just a great place for adults to enjoy a very tasty meal and enjoy fun activities. By far the BEST restaurant in the Fulton Market(West Loop)

Cute and different type of place. Reasonable prices. Games to play. Laid back atmosphere. Happy Hour from 3 to 6.

Great ambiance, great drinks, great people, and above all great overalls. My bartender was extremely amicable and helpful. Definitely coming back. I recommend everyone who wants the finest punch bowl has to offer ask for Jason.

Update: Changed to 5 stars after going back and having Sunday brunch there. Service was great, good was fantastic. Chicken waffle was sweet, spicy, and crispy. The monkey bread French toast was work going back to eat (makes as great appetiser). The hoisin sriracha fries are really fantastic. Usually I have loaded fries, but these kept the crunch and brought a nice heat with the Fresno peppers. Fernet shot in the coffee is an interesting breakfast cocktail, and the bloody Mary bar was extremely well stocked with all sorts of goodies._____Original review:This place is gigantic. Different rooms have different themes with a bar game in each room. Drink list a good, but not great, prices are normal for West Loop, service was fine.Problem is going to be private events renting out the cool rooms all the time. This place is designed to be a corporate event Mecca.

Trendy West loop spot with large drink selection. They have a nice collection of pinball and arcades games. Also has a bowling alley inside.

This was a nice place. I was there for a company event. They have VRs, karaokes,... Food and beverages were also very good. It was kind of noisy though. Id recommend it.

Awesome place. We went for a youth outreach event here. Food drinks n bowling n really fun games. Just a great time overall.. Definitely going back

The location is full of night life. A great place to meet friends and drink, eat, play games and be merry.

The karaoke mics don’t work, well one does and the other doesn’t. Music selection is ok. We were in there for an hour and no one came by to get our drink orders. And the room is pretty small. Afterwards, we sat at the bar area and they were out of a bunch of drinks by 2pm on a Saturday. It seemed like there was only one server for that whole room.Seems like a fun idea but they probably don’t have the right management for it right now.

Great spot. Loved the watermelon/mint cocktail and the burger was great!! Very cute place and perfect for date night or a night out with friends! Our waitress wasn’t super interactive but it was slow today so it wasn’t terrible.

Lots of options for entertaining a large group. Two items bothered me. 1: The microphones in our karaoke room did not function well. 2: The food. Our group paid for a taco bar—very tasty. While the taco fillings were generous, they were parsimonious with the flour tortillas. How the heck were we supposed to eat the tacos? Also, there were lots of leftovers which management did not let us take home.

Had a Christmas work outing. Hell of a great time. Drink prices were way to high. Food was okay nothing special. Weren’t able to do some of the things due to over crowding.

Beautiful space with great games and great drinks. The food isnt quite as great as the ambiance but I will definitely be back.

Wow... Huge, beautiful, fun. Endless things to do. Go!

As always there’s a bit of a wait with any place that is busy as they are, and be prepared to repeatedly ask for some things.It’s nice that they have such a variety of entertainment, but with that said karaoke rooms get very hot and you have to open the doors (this led to some pretty rude customers closing it repeatedly and arguing with us even though we were told it was ok). Manager had very good customer service, but I wouldn’t go back since it ended the night on a sour note. Try a different karaoke place if that’s what you want to enjoy

Good drinks and food. Unfortunately, like most bar first; bowling second type of places, they do not oil the bowling lanes. If you bowl with a hook dont even bother. Use the other amenities instead. Would be 5 stars if lanes were oiled.

Appetizers were very yummy and drinks were tasty but entrees were not as good. The space was cool and huge too. The biggest downer was a 5+ hour wait for bowling!?!? Not cool.

Nice place to kick back and have a couple drinks with friends and have a good night

Food is good, service is meh. It took well over 30 minutes to get someone to take drink orders and more than an hour total to order food at brunch on a not very busy weekend recently. My double espresso was delivered as...two espressos (?) Maybe it was just our server, but it feels like the kind of place where the waitstaff is almost aggressively bad and leaves you wondering if its part of the shtick, or you just came on a bad day.

Food was very good. Great place to go in groups as theres games as well and bowling . Server that we had gave good customer service.We had green chorizo fries as appetizer which were de-lish! And The Knockoff Burger , yummy yummy

Various activities for individuals to enjoy. Drinking, billiards, bowling, games and such. The combination of appetizers we chose were good. We had the chicken tacos, buffalo wings and a flat bread with potatoes, arugula and prosciutto. The groups thought that the potatoes threw off the flavor but I personally thought it was quite tasty.The watermelon punch bowl could have been filled more. The group complained that it was enough for the price. The atmosphere was nice. The layout is nice. The wait staff was cordial.Overall, the place is a good place to go with friends. The group enjoyed the ambiance. The groups average collective opinion of the food was above-average. Drinks could be a bit stronger. The grade is B++ (just fractions under the A-.

So much going on. If you dont do research on this place or ask questions, youll be lost. My daughter and I sat for almost an hour before we finally stopped someone to take her order and found out that we were sitting in the area that may have been reserved and not to mention my daughter is 14 so she had to leave at 10. So she was looking forward to eating and having a shake but we ended up leaving because it was 9 45 and no one came over and said anything to us. When we walked in the hostess was not where they should be there for we just walk in and pretty much was lost. It was not a good first experience it was actually a waste and my daughter left unhappy.

Really nice place! The food was delicious. It was a work event so I played it cool on the free drinks

Really neat MASSIVE space. the bar upstairs in the back corner had awesome and fast service. Cocktails were so/so.

This place has a lot of fun stuff to do but their service was fair kinda expected as a large place. They were able to split our bill up however we wanted but the wait for karaoke was like 4 hours on the weekend

Amazing and fun environment. Great for gatherings of people who want to have fun. Bowling, ping pong, bags and foseball

The food and drinks are okay but the service is absolutely horrible! There was only one waitress for the entire main floor. There seemed to be several other employees available and at work but no one jumped in to help or even come by to check on our table.

In an ever-changing neighborhood like the West Loop, the addition of this second floor social watering hole is happily welcomed. With opportunities to keep people of all ages entertained (bowling, shuffle board, scrabble, bocce ball, Big Buck Hunter, darts and much more) youre sure to unknowingly spend multiple hours laughing, drinking, playing and eating with comrades. Careful though...this place is HUGE and one might get lost in the midst of all the fun!

A complete adult playland. There is tons of space. The cocktail and mocktails lists go on forever. The food is a delicious array of all the dishes that you crave including intricate tacos with zesty sauces, crispy while still juicy fried chicken and milk shakes with add-ins and toppings. There are multiple bars for meeting and conversations, arcade games, shuffle board, and Foosball, all in different areas as to create segmental fun for each corner you turn. This is a place to start at for happy hour and stay for the long night ahead.

Great place full of literally everything to do. Fast service and this guy named Timothy I believe is an amazing Chief please ask for him when you come. And I promise you be surprised!!

Huge space with good drinks and fun activities. Honestly the perfect spot for an after-work happy hour. Speaking from experience :)

Get The Impossible burger!!! Nice vibes, great food and nice decor

So much fun and good drinks. A playground for big kids :D

A fun, activity filled atmosphere for groups and meeting up with a friend or two, Punch Bowl Social provides access to entertainment. The space is a lot larger than it looks and includes an array of bar games, lawn games, and more. The staff is really nice, surprisingly attentive for the atmosphere and go above and beyond what is expected of them. We had a great time talking and catching up as it was never too loud to hear the person next to you or across the table.

This place has the coolest vibes I have ever experienced in Chicago.

Great space, and activities. Drink prices are high but thats normal for West loop. Great place for group outings

I had a great experience! The food was amazing (I had the Nachos with shrimp as the topic and I had the chicken wings--both were great! I also tried their watermelon polo bowl was delicious!)! The service was good (the waitress checked on us in fair intervals and made fun small talk)! The atmosphere was fun and lively (everybody looked like they were having a blast and enjoying the environment). The games were an added awesome experience! The virtual reality space was amazing!

This place is straight out of FRIENDS! But seriously! It’s an amazing place to hang out, grab some amazing cocktails and chill. Also their food is fantastic!

What an amazing place! Full of great ways to have fun, be engaged with one another and connect without a cell phone. The place is huge complete with party rooms, food and drinks. I couldnt give it 5 stars because the food was just sub par.

We had a great time at our company party last Thursday. Darnell was a fantastic host.

This is like Dave & Busters if Dave & Busters didnt suck. Though I didnt get a chance to try any food my first time there, I really enjoyed the aesthetic and charm of the place. Incredibly friendly and helpful staff all around.The bowling lanes are interesting. They have what I learned is called Boutique Bowling, which is a somewhat shorter lane and the pins are attached to strings that are then pulled in order to reset the frame.Drinks a plenty, and attentive servers are walking all around. This place is great and I highly recommend it.

Very nice place. Great staff and food. Bowling was fun too.

Great bar in the west loop. They have many different rooms and some are large enough to host 20+ of your friends! The drinks were way better than I expected. The boulevardier and the lavender sour were both exceptional!

Fun spot to bring friends. Love that there is so much to do.

Really cool bar. It is HUGE. A lot of fun hes and places to sit.

Went during there mid-day lunch so it wasnt packed at all. my coworkers and I loved the service and the food was soooo tasty! Great place for a date and or to hang with friends!!

Food was great and so was the atmosphere. Highly recommend the rangoon dip. Tons of games to play but the whole bowling alley was rented out when I came.

So much potential, but mostly garbage. Big spot, average drinks and atmosphere. Id recommend elsewhere.

Fun place to hang out. Food was ok. Enjoyed the games.

The atmosphere is just amazing and it was so relaxing and fun I had a blast

Lots of things to do. Food was descent. The server was very accommodating.

I went here 6 times, because I thought it would be a fun concept to put money behind arcade bars, but unfortunately I was disappointed every single time. Service is bad (impolite and slow) and games are too expensive compared to all other bars in Chicago. Every time I Go its obvious that everyone who works there is there to get paid and no one is there for passion. It seems like a true soulless money maker which is very unfortunate in the 21st century where we all just looking for something real.

Food options are very minimal but decor and space is great for get togethers or events

First time going there. No line to get in. Had a lot of fun

We had some time to kill before dinner at one of the better restaurants on the block, so we decided to stop in here and see what all of the fuss was about. Turns out that there are a lot of private parties on a Thursday night afterwork and we were told to go to the back bar, which was totally cool, we only wanted some drinks...the trick was of course finding our way thru the maze of closed off areas to make it to the back bar. But once we did we were able to enjoy the grandeur of the place. We sat at the bar and I proceeded to order several of their punches, first the Featured Punch, all I remember is that it was good. The next two rounds consisted of the Its a Mer-Mans World punch, where you could really taste the alcohol. It was good, which is why I got myself a second one. We tried Chips N Dip, not the greatest, a little like some ranch dressing with kettle chips. Next time we come we might even get to partake in some activities.

My girlfriend and I loved this place so much. My company had its annual holiday party here, and I was astonished by how fun and large it was for being down town. Now I am not a person that likes extreme crowds, nor am I a person that typically likes to do things downtown in Chicago. However, this place had so much more space than I thought it would and so much more to do. I took part in the bowling, virtual reality gaming stations, and arcade areas. Those were all very fun. I should have done the karaoke, but didnt have time to. The food was delicious in addition to there being so much to do. Hint: if youre going to come here, plan on spending a lot of time here. There is almost too much to do!

Boozie shakes, bowling, ping pong, darts...so much to do, and tasty food, too!

Been here twice now and every time I just get annoyed. They have a weird reservation system for the various activities and the staff are sticklers about things. We got there at noon for a team outing but over half the activities were unavailable due to another company booking the entire 3rd floor? Food and drink are way overpriced too. Way better places to go for team outings.

Punch Bowl has always been my lowkey go to spot for couple years now....BUT TODAY...I experienced Cauliflower Nachos and my mind was blown! Lol Ill definitely be back soon to see if the chef can hit another culinary grand slam!!

Very disappointed. We walked upstairs to the round bar. Not very busy with 6 bartenders. So we stand in front of the bartender making drinks for tables I supposed. We stood there a good 5 minutes. He made eye contact with the 3 of us several times. Not once did he acknowledge us or said you ordered on the other side or something. So we finally went around where the other 5 bartenders were taking orders, not super busy because we were able to walk to the bar and actually lean on it. Another good 20 minutes go by. Again eye contact but no one even said Ill be with as soon as I can nothing. We actually started to google where to go since we felt ignored. So finally we were seconds from leaving when JR came and asked us what we wanted to drink. Hadnt seen him since he was on the opposite side of bar, while the other bartenders kept ignoring us. Thank you JR, for helpings us spend money there. Definitely not going back. I get it bartenders do get busy but at least acknowledge customers so we dont feel ignore.

I went for a work function. The set up for group activities games, karaoke, table setup, private food stations , drink servers was excellent! The section was conducive to sitting and talking as well as sharing fun play time with colleagues to do some team building. Its a great place for meetings if youre not hungry! The food was horrible. All of the foods tasted like they took microwaved freezer foods and assembled them on serving trays even the desserts. All I can say is Ive tasted better frozen food. At least use top quality if thats how you plan to operate your kitchen.
