Punch Bowl Social Indianapolis will include eight bowling lanes, two bocce courts, three private karaoke rooms, three bars (with plenty of televisions for the sports enthusiast) and numerous other lounging and gathering spots – for small groups and large private gatherings- housed in an eclectic space melding mountain lodge, Victorian, modern and industrial design themes.
The award-winning brand arrives in Indy with an exciting new menu created by the company’s new culinary partner, celebrity chef Hugh Acheson. Acheson, an award-winning restauranteur, Top Chef judge and James Beard award winner, was tapped to lead the ongoing culinary direction of the growing restaurant concept and further strengthen Punch Bowl Social’s commitment to a seasonally inspired, scratch kitchen.
Already well-received in other Punch Bowl Social cities, the new menu features Acheson’s southern culinary sensibilities paired with modern cooking techniques. A few standout items include the decadent and sharable Pimento Cheese, fall-off-the-bone Confit St. Louis Ribs, and a reimagined nitrate-free Fra’Mani Fried Bologna Sandwich served with house made olive tapenade, sustainably raised Fra’Mani Mortadella, and Gruyere cheese.
Punch Bowl Social’s innovative beverage program offers old and new school cocktails, all natural sodas and fizzes, floats and shakes (kid-friendly and grownup versions available), fresh squeezed juices and breakfast drinks. And those eponymous punches? They’re as enjoyable to look at – served in vintage glass bowls and adorned with fresh fruit, herbs and spices – as they are fun to share.
Punch Bowl Social’s grand opening coincides with Circle Centre Mall’s recently opened and long-anticipated Georgia Street entrance, located at the south end of the property, west of Meridian Street. The new entrance will allow guests to move seamlessly from Circle Centre’s dining and entertainment options, to destinations along the popular entertainment district.PUNCH BOWL SOCIAL
