The server was nice but the interactions felt rushed. I ordered the mozzarella sticks ($10) which were good but not great, wouldn't order again, and the salmon ($24), I removed the edamame and cilantro, the portion of fish imo was a little small, it came with veggies on potato puree, the flavor of everything was great, but the potato was so salty that I couldn't eat it or the veggies on it and I like salt. I was instead offered fries, tots, or a salad. Wasn't given a discount. I also took their berry beingets to go ($14) and I loved them.
This was the second time we were there for an anniversary. This was our 35th. The hummus was great, so was the mozzarella sticks. But the shrimp tacos were the bomb. We enjoyed the games alot. Pool and steel ball was the best. The onlycomplaint was that the music was a bit loud. We did have a punch bowl this time. It was just too cute and sooo good!
We hosted our Eli Lilly end-of-year celebration at Punchbowl Social and couldn't have been happier with the experience. The taco bar was delicious, and the beer and wine package was perfect for our group. The bowling lanes were a blast, and having the free game cards for the arcade meant everyone could jump in and play without worrying about paying—such a thoughtful touch that kept the energy high all night. What really made the evening special was our server Hunter. He was incredibly attentive, making sure no one had to wait for drinks and proactively clearing used glasses so our tables stayed clean throughout the event. Beyond just great service, he was genuinely friendly and welcoming to all our guests, which made everyone feel comfortable and taken care of. Hunter, you rock! Thanks for making our party such a success. Highly recommend Punchbowl Social for corporate events.
I stopped in on a slow Saturday morning recently as I was visiting from out of town. I noted the $5 mimosa special listed on one of the menus the bartender gave me and my decision was made! I thought what an awesome deal. I can get two instead of one and be on my way. When I got my bill it was obvious that price wasn’t correct. I did ask the bartenders and I was told that wasn’t the price anymore and one remarked that the bartender who served me didn’t make a mistake (I wasn’t implying it was on her at all). I get that things change and sometimes menus aren’t updated, but I do feel the price noted should’ve been honored. I did pay the full tab and made sure to tip my bartender well as that wasn’t on her. It was disappointing there was no adjustment made and that after I was told essentially I was in the wrong for asking they both turned around and got on their phones so the conversation was over. Just felt somewhat rude to me. I’m happy to pay full price if that’s what is owed. But that really wasn’t the case here.
This place is an excellent vibe! INCLUSIVENESS is above and beyond!! My bartender and server …. JOSE was phenomenal!! His smile, laugh, and attentiveness are something!! If you need a great place for a great bite, beer, and be treated like someone special… visit PUNCH BOWL SOCIAL in Indianapolis!!
