Innovation rooted in tradition. At Punch Room, cocktails have never been just drinks—they are stories in a glass, experiences that transport, and rituals that connect us to the past and the future.

Whether enjoyed as a single glass or in a punch bowl, its drinks are meant to be shared, savored, and remembered.

    We were not a fan of the new menu at all. Really went away from the whole reason for the name punch room and at least in our opinion. Plus the new drinks themselves are simply OK.

    Quiet spot for drinks. We were just two, but I think coming with a group and indulging in a Punch Bowl is the way to go. You need to bring your own entertainment, if you are looking for that. Nice quiet place to have a one-on-one conversation. Our drinks were good, but not great.

    Was looking forward to a wonderful date night with drinks and the overall experience was mediocre. Tried the Mexican punches, and both were little to be desired. We went with something more familiar, spicy margaritas which were made well. Service could have been better as there were other tables that were served after we arrived. Place is well decorated and ambience was nice, it was a little disappointing to see in sports outfits or not dressed for the atmosphere. Would not go again

    Service was very slow and the servers had an attitude of wishing they were anywhere but there.

    Service is slow. No waters given (even though asked for) no welcome punch drink (like we usually receive) and $60 for 2 drinks, overpriced. But this goes by person, every time we come, my drink is a different price. Be consistent!
