AWESOME place!!! This place offers a variety of fun entertainment. Bowling, karaoke, small arcade, scrabble etc. Their cocktail drinks are super good as well as their food. Their customer service is friendly!! ??☺️

Came for brunch with family that were in town visiting. Staff were exceedingly nice but the food was pretty bad. The La Bamba chicken sand was fried to the point of having a burnt flavor and complexion. Both my aunt and mom barely touched their shrimp and polenta dishes. The shrimp were over cooked and the polenta … dry and flavorless aside from the cheese sprinkled on top. My mom ordered a blueberry sparkling drink that she really enjoyed. Looks like a great place for games & drinks, but won’t be back for the food.

Really hip bowling alley with a great view of the city! This is a great place to take family or visitors coming to town. They have really good food and the bowling alley is clean!

A great location, a short to old town Sacramento after you eat, has free games while you wait to order or for your food

Fun place to go in Sac if you don’t want to be right by all the bars and stuff downtown. More of a high end area since it’s by the Golden 1 center. Prices are not cheap for drinks and food but that’s to be expected. Nice ambience and they offer bowling and other games and entertainment. I’ve been to their private bowling room which also has pool tables. Their public bowling area is fun too, but we went on a Saturday night close to midnight and they were only serving drinks, unfortunately their kitchen was closed. Bowling was $16 per person for an hour I believe and it includes shoes.

Great social environment but the food was just ok and the service took a while. This is a good place to drink, play games, and have some appetizers. If you are looking for a date or really good meal I would find another place downtown and come here after to play games.

It was horrible from the beginning to the end After the waiter brought us some water he said he would be back in a second for the orders. 15 or so minutes later he came for the orders. Coffee latte? Coffee maker is broken. Juice? Our juicer does not work. So we ordered coffee, which was lukewarm and tasted as if had been brewed the night before. Nobody showed even up for a long time so no chance to say something. Finally the food was brought but no silverware. We asked for silverware and while the food was cooling down, we got silverware, unwrapped it from the napkin to only find forks, no knives. Did not matter much because my dish was not eatable anyway. I had ordered eggs over medium and received the closest thing to raw eggs you can imagine. The drinks came very late (well after the forks) and were not mixed, not good at all. And finally, my credit card was denied and when I called the credit card company to complain they told me that some fishy activity (like an initial $2 charge and an attempt to charge twice) had triggered the rejection. There were probably too many issues to call this a one-off. Something appears to be systematically wrong with this place. Stay away!

I was initially excited about this place I've heard so many good things about it. I had made reservations not long ago for pre Valentine weekend. It seemed very convenient since my husband and I were staying at KimptonThe Sawyer which is wrapped around it. As we arrived the outside seating area was trashed. Garbage all over... There wasn't a staff member on site. We waited about 15 mins still no sign of staff and the doors were locked. This was very disappointing because I was looking forward to this cute little spot everyone had been talking about. Thankfully we were just able to walk back to our room and order in. After looking at how the upkeep is around that place I don't find myself ever making an attempt again.

Wonderful atmosphere, delicious food. A great place to go to on a Friday or Saturday night and just vibe out. I appreciate it their selection of vegetarian options. I ordered the cauliflower nachos, which were delicious. I give this place a four instead of five because my partner ordered the chicken and waffles and the syrup tasted weird. It had a spicy taste to it that took away from the sweetness of the waffle.

Trendy place located in Sacramento's DOCO. This was my first visit here. We came prior to the Kings game at Golden 1. The Punch Bowl has a ton of energy, given the mixed crowd of adults and families. They have a bowling alley, darts, arcade games, a bar with table service and a diner. Lots of TVs in the bar, with many high tables and booths. The diverse menu has something for everyone. It took a while for a server to come by. I flagged down Jordan, and he was friendly and helpful. He took our order and was attentive during our stay. We opted for the Watermelon Polo Punch Bowl (4 servings) and the Farmers plate that had 2 cheeses, prosciutto, deviled eggs, mustard, ham, and crushed pralines pecans. It was a nice snack to have before the game. I look forward to returning and trying one of their main entrees.
