Come June 2018, Arlington will have a one-stop shop for bowling, boozing, brunching, and more.
Punch Bowl Social just inked a 25,000-square-foot lease at Ballston Quarter, Forest City’s $317 million project to replace Ballston Common mall.
It’ll be the first East Coast locale for the entertainment brand, which originated in Denver and now has five spots where grown-ups can play.
On the food front, Punch Bowl Social has a celebrity chef name behind the menu: Atlanta’s Hugh Acheson. Expect cast iron burgers, charred Japanese eggplant ciabatta, ribs, trout, and breakfast all week. And eponymous punch bowls with alcohol, whipped up at its 360-degree bar, serve up to eight.
Liquored-up patrons can take advantage of vintage video games, shuffleboard, ping pong, private karaoke rooms, eight bowling lanes, a bocce court, and skee ball at the space, which promises a “mountain lodge” look that meets “modern industrial” design, according to a release.
D.C. is also tap for 2018, according to a spokesperson, though a location hasn’t been locked down yet. News regarding its Arlington arrival is expected to be announced Tuesday.
