What a great local! Huge, all sorts of games! Bowling, cornhole, darts, some old school arcade games, crazy amounts of seating and the food was delicious! The drinks were top-notch and the staff was super friendly. Not a big crowd on a Wednesday night even during Comic-Con. Come on in and enjoy yourselves!

Flavors on the food were relatively mild and the cocktails were good but weaker than expected. Overall it was an interesting venue with slightly overpriced food/drinks. I had a fried chicken sandwich and fries for similar price at Queenstown a day earlier and it was vastly superior. Both the food and cocktails at Crack Shack are also better and more affordable.

I didn’t get to sample any of the games so my review is only on the food. The chicken in the chicken and waffles was well cooked and the pancakes were nice but the dish needed way more maple syrup there was barely any on the waffles or the chicken so both lacked flavor. The tres leches cake for dessert was nice

I’m very dissatisfied with Punch bowl. We sat in the dinning room for 20 minutes and nobody acknowledged we was there despite there only being 3 other tables in the restaurant. I had to find a server and ask them to serve us to which was very poor. We did not feel welcome at all. I ordered the Alabama chicken burger. I ate half the burger very quickly as I was very hungry and then discovered half way through the chicken was Raw… I have been very ill all day today (Next day) the situation was dealt with badly. They asked if I wanted something else to which I said no. Then asked me if I wanted the item comped, of course I do!? The sever came back with the check 3 times as each time there was a mistake with taking off the comped meal. As I’ve worked in the restaurant industry for 6 years now, if something ever happened like that the whole meal would be comped and a manger would be over immediately to express an apology. He came as we was about to walk out with a $10 gift card which I appreciate but it was too late. I will not be returning and wouldn’t recommend getting chicken.

Are you hiring? I'm an experienced waitress full of spunk and looking to work!

Johna Laurent | Aug 19, 2019
Zachary Michael | Aug 19, 2019

I would guess by the number of people theyve fired in the last couple of months they are always hiring ...but there are over 7000 bars and restaurants in San Diego...you would do yourself a service by finding out ones that are busier and more frequent by locals and tourist alike as tourists often tip better... Stay out of the east village and stick closer to the more busier areas of gaslamp, little italy, north park or downtown la jolla...then walk in around 2pm to 3pm and show them your ambition and hustle and something about the company which shows your dedication to want to stick around for longer than the typical life span of a waitress.

It all depends on the time that you're going. I've been there twice, Thursday night and Friday afternoon, and got lucky both times. I imagine Friday nights would be a bit tougher.

Are the lanes regular size and length?

Amy C | Aug 19, 2019
Salvatore McCarty | Aug 19, 2019

They seem a bit small, also, they're "marionette" style - the pins all have stringing attached. Little weird, but still a good time if you aren't at a competitive level.
