Great place for cocktails and light bites. They have a delicious dessert menu. I forgot to take pictures because they looked so delicious that I just wanted to eat them. The drinks menu is creative. The last couple times I’ve been there I got a mezcal me maybe and it was one of the best mezcal drinks I’ve had. Because the kitchen is mostly closed, they are allowing outside food to be eaten. The staff is friendly and the service is good. Show less

★★★★★ This place is a must-visit for cocktail lovers! The atmosphere is upscale yet inviting, with a sleek design and great vibes.

Highly recommend! If you’re a fan of anything coffee flavored I absolutely recommend the DEJA BREW 2: ELECTRIC BREWGALOO. One of the best cocktails I’ve had! Show less

I reached out to the bar manager and GM Michael in anticipation of throwing a surprise birthday party get together for my sister and the staff was FANTASTIC, ACCOMMODATING, and went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make this a beautiful experience for me and family! From the time I walked into Punch, I was provided my preferred area for me and my guests and was greeted with smiles and sincerity in ensuring I was taken good care of. The music was even better with old school R&B jams playing in the background 🎶 😃. I want to also shout out the young lady whom made sure to move extra tables and chairs to make room for additional guests (did not get her name but I hope she’s know she is!) to Trent our waiter whom took such good care of us, getting all of our multiple orders promptly and ever so patient while checking on us periodically. I want to truly say thank you to the incredible staff and GM Michael at Punch. The birthday girl left with a huge smile and we were so happy to be a part of it with the staff at Punch! Trust me when I say, come to this lounge/bar and be ready for a great experience. WE CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH 🙏 🎉❤️🎂! Show less

We stopped in here for a few cocktails and an appetizer while staying a night in the area. Parking was a little difficult. The area is busy, so it may take a little time to find a spot on the street. Overall, we really enjoyed Punch! They had a pretty significant whiskey menu and a lot of craft cocktail options, including one using barrel aged Malort which was actually really good. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Champaign. Show less
