With An Arcade, Bowling, And More, This Incredible Restaurant In Indiana Is Perfect For Families

Indiana - and especially Indianapolis - is a fabulous place to raise a family. With low crime rates, lower-than-average cost of living, and plenty to do, see, and experience, the Hoosier State is, overall, pretty family-friendly. Of course, this also typically means that there's plenty for families to do together, and this is especially true for Indy. Take, for example, a wonderful little place known as Punch Bowl Social. A family-friendly restaurant in Indiana by day (and a fun spot for the grown-ups by night), this delightful nosh spot is more than a great menu. I recommend it very highly, and it's easy to see why!

Welcome to Punch Bowl Social - you and your family's new favorite escape.

After 10 p.m., this place goes full bar mode - so be sure to bring the fam at a family-friendly time!

To say there's lots for the kids (and the adults) to fall in love with is a bit of an understatement.

Here, you'll find an arcade, bowling, pool, and so many more fun things to do that this could turn from a simple lunch to a few hours' worth of great times.

The menu is awesome, serving up classic bar far like wings, fries, burgers, and more.

From Monday through Thursday, you'll find that there's a family-friendly, no-booze Happy Hour from 4 p.m. until 10 p.m.; there's also brunch on weekends from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.

When it comes to stuff the kids are going to love, take your pick!

Bowling is always a blast - especially with a little friendly family competition thrown in. Ping-pong is another much-beloved pastime.

Of course, all of this being said, Punch Bowl Social is more than "just" a family-friendly restaurant in Indiana with some games and shenanigans thrown in.

It becomes your traditional bar after 10, so you can make it the perfect place for a party or date night, too. There's a little something-something for all ages... depending on what time it is, of course.

So, come on out to the legendarily fun Punch Bowl Social in Indianapolis.

There are several locations all over the country, but there's just one in the little place we call home.
