Punchbowl

About

Punch Bowl is a modern city tavern in Brookline, set in the lobby of the Hilton Garden Inn. It takes its name and spirit from the historic 18th-century tavern Brookline was once famous for, recreating a communal gathering place in the heart of the village. Chef Josh Ziskin cooks a contemporary take on traditional New England fare that draws on a variety of local farms and seafood.

The restaurant is the latest from restaurateurs Jen and Josh Ziskin. Its bar pours a slew of signature cocktails influenced by Brookline’s history and location. Inside, a light-filled dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows, an open kitchen and a state-of-the-art bar is designed to make guests feel immersed in the city around them. Diners who prefer the open air can sit on the large ground-floor patio.
