The Corcoran GroupSeptember 13, 2010Don’t come just for bowling. Try one of their “Adult” milkshakes, the Theresa Pizza and any of the awesome musical acts performing that night.
Bachelor10April 23, 2011The food is provided by Blue Ribbon. The fried chicken is worth the trip alone, but the Rock n Roll Fries, Chicken Muffaletta and Brooklyn Brisket are not to be skipped either. Read more
Escape CardonaDecember 27, 2015Its a cool spot to go and kick it. They have different events so be weary of the cover charge but a fun spot to bowl overall.
Antoine BoudieJanuary 6, 2013Bowling lines, live music, bar and restaurant, I've hardly seen a place like this before! Expect a little wait but a lot of fun!
Misty Dawn SmithSeptember 29, 2015SUPER expensive and very little diversity in live music. Same DJs and Jam Bands week in and out. If you want to spend min. $100 on a night out to get chicken grease on a bowling ball this is for you.
Daniel GAugust 18, 2014Awesome place for gigs ! Once it starts, you prolly won't be able to hit the bathroom afterwards.
make sure you know their line up they have before coming here or you might end up hating it. otherwise, it's 1 of my favorite concert venues. they have great food,& the kitchen's open all night. plan
Liz GoodbandFebruary 13, 2015Great for kiddos! They can run around in lots of open space and parents can enjoy a few beers!
Ms HeleneDecember 17, 2012Come here to bowl, eat gourmet diner food, drink at the funky bar and/or see some great bands at good prices - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!
melissa hirschhornNovember 2, 2016love coming to this awesome venue...bowling, food, great beer, & live music...can't beat it!
joe smithApril 2, 2015Oyster po boy is insanely delicious, Brooklyn Blast is the most bang for your buck beer, and the music is usually great!
BernerDecember 28, 2012Go. Grab a lane. Catch a show. Pitcher of Sweet Action with gravey fries and a bourbon milk shake. All will be right in the world
Markeisha GrantJanuary 19, 2014Don't expect to bowl if you don't get there by 6pm on the weekend. Be prepared for a 3 to 4 hour wait. In the mean time, enjoy the BBQ wings or grab a drink at the bar.
You had me at bowling, and again at Blue Ribbon fried chicken, once more at awesome concerts, and then finally, at Brooklyn Brewery beers on tap.
jake furstApril 30, 2011The gravy/cheese fries (whatever they're called) are heavenly. So is the fried chicken, the Sweet Action on tap and the quality of the live music acts. Enjoy!
LizzieJune 14, 2013The best bouncers ever! Being out of town and early for an event (didn't realize there's two shows every night) they were so accommodating!
Elle F.September 21, 2016Food From Blue Ribbon. Plush Leather Seating. Mention "Sunday Night Special" at Shoe Desk For 50% Off A Lane After 8PM on Sundays.
Brittany GalskeDecember 22, 2019so cool that you can bowl and listen to music! went to bruce springsteen’s impersonater and beach was amazing!
Paul BrennerAugust 10, 2014Huge bar and food space. Great escape from the outside when you are thinking "man... This is just too much outside"
Stephanie LeonOctober 26, 2013Fried calamari was the bomb, love the atmosphere, cool private bowling areas, dance floor, bar, and great dj
Alan-Arthur AureliaMarch 10, 2015Great live music venue. You can bowl and chill with some cool live music. Awesome dance floor.
olivier PEYREJanuary 20, 2014Beautiful Bowling Alley, DJ ?uestlove's Soul Dance Parties on Thursday, best Fried Chicken in town by Blue Ribbon.
LenaJuly 25, 2010A great place to go with a large group. Bowling, awesome bands, Blue Ribbon food (fried chicken, calamari, pork rinds), dancing, bar, DJ all in one venue. Had a great night!- The food here is great! And with two bars, it's never difficult to get your drink. The cocktails are good too.
Antonio E.April 1, 2014Nice place to chill, listen music or play Brooklyn. Entrance is a bit expensive (20$ while concert).
Fried chicken. Bowling. Music. What more could you ask for?
Jamie DumbillDecember 30, 2014Get drunk, go bowling and listen to music. A good night out. The one in the O2 in London is pretty much identical.
M. Silver AssociatesFebruary 3, 2012Blue Ribbon food and local beer. If you need a break from game-watching, head over to one of the bowling lanes or take in live music! Free!
Calvin MultanenDecember 6, 2014Cool venue to catch a show. Bowling is kind of spendy but if you have enough people, it's definitely worth it
Lauren PatrickNovember 17, 2015This place will accommodate your buzz: drink and bowl and then you'll be ready to turn it up on the dance floor!
Mer IciJanuary 20, 2016Music shows are cheap and generally great acts. Good for large groups. Coat check, and nice women's restroom.
I've never bowled here but the concerts/DJs that play here are always on point. It's a great party
Nobody's better at booking shows. If its at Brooklyn Bowl you know it's going to be good. Put in for bowling & dinner at 9, you'll be fed and on the lanes by 11.
AmateurConciergeOctober 25, 2015Beyond bowling...this has one of the best music booking teams in the city.
VevoJune 1, 20122 bars, 16 bowling lanes, a Blue Ribbon restaurant and a killer stage. Whatever you're in the mood for, Brooklyn Bowl's got you covered.
Yesbelt FernandezDecember 26, 2010Best bowling in NYC and to top it off it has really great food. The fried chicken is awesome ( go with the dark meat). Worth the ride over the bridge.
Beer, music, bowling, and blue ribbon fried chicken...what else do you need?! 🍻🎤🎳🍗👌
Sue RosenNovember 27, 2012sign up right away for bowling esp at a concert... then you get to bowl and watch! Their mac and cheese is great
Harry JacobsOctober 3, 2016Great place for birthdays, concerts, dancing. Food is heavy but good. Fried chicken mmm
Maarten MarkusDecember 1, 2014Awesome Music venue, often something going on till late night. Bowling is also fun.
ᴡ SantFebruary 20, 2014Try the Belly Buster Sandwich was Yummy even when just finished half of it lol too big. Great place to have a good time!
amNewYorkJune 20, 2012SUMMER 2012: The Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival kicks off here! (JULY 9) Busta Rhymes headlines this yearly tribute. Expect concerts, panels and block parties. Through July 14. Prices and locations vary.
Here for a concert? Security can be really inconsistent in terms of escorting out patrons behaving badly. Make sure to attend events with friends.
James GreenDecember 2, 2014This place is wild. Crowded and loud, but good bowling and great burgers. Brooklyn brews all the time.
Jack EtheringtonSeptember 24, 2017Gigs most nights which you HAVE to pay entry for even if you just want to bowl. Half price bowling after 6pm on Sundays.
Matthew SpectorApril 12, 2015Blue Ribbon fried chicken and an awesome vibe - more than just a bowling alley.
