This year, the Punch Bowl is proud to introduce LIQR.CA's unique 'Like It? Buy It!' program. This allows you to sample some truly unique and fascinating products, and if they pique your interest, you can immediately purchase them from the onsite liquor store and take your favourites home.

In addition to spirits, beers, cocktails, ciders, and wines, Punch Bowl also features the annual BBQ showcase. The Italian BBQ – or grigliate – is one to watch out for. Brought to you by Columbus Meats by the Masi family and Risotto Party, you will be served quality cuts and legendary marinades that promise an unforgettable Italian summer BBQ experience.

Take a culinary trip to Italy with the Chicken Spiedini "skewers" served with Italian pasta salad and a delightful lemon garlic aioli. Experience the heavenly marinated pork ribs, served with Italian pasta salad. If you prefer a hot or mild pork sausage, try it in a bun with roasted red peppers, nestled inside an Italian sub roll. And don't miss out on the Italian BBQ Beef Sandwich, featuring shaved ribeye, balsamic bbq sauce, spicy giardinieri, provolone, all within an Italian sub roll.

Live Music and More

Our lineup of live music features DJ Marvel spinning throwback 90's and 00's hip-hop summer jams. Additionally, the Big Easy Funk Ensemble, a 9-piece New Orleans-inspired Funk Band, will be performing to keep your spirits high.
