MILWAUKEE (March 14, 2022) –  Punch Bowl Social will permanently re-open its doors Wednesday, March 16 in Milwaukee’s Deer District. The opening comes days prior to Fiserv Forum, just across the plaza from Punch Bowl’s front door, hosting first and second round games of the college basketball tournament (on March 18 and 20).

“We are eager and ready to re-open our doors to Milwaukee, and we look forward to a bustling week ahead,” said Robert Cornog, Jr., Chairman, CEO and Co-Founder of Punch Bowl Social. “I can think of no better place for St. Patrick’s Day revelry and basketball excitement than Punch Bowl Social at Deer District.
