MILWAUKEE (August 13, 2021) –  Punch Bowl Social, the popular interactive restaurant and bar, will reopen its Milwaukee location prior to the Bucks first preseason game in Fall 2021. Located in Deer District and steps from Fiserv Forum, Punch Bowl Social is an official tenant of the 2021 NBA Champion Milwaukee Bucks organization. Punch Bowl Social Milwaukee has been closed since March 2020 due to COVID-19.
