Reviews for Brooklyn Bowl in Brooklyn, NY
Came on a rainy Saturday afternoon. About an hour wait, 2 hour limit on the lanes. Fried chicken is excellent. Always a fun... time, especially for live music. Read more
Went here for a Daft Punk party at 9pm on Sept. 17. My first time actually so I was optimistic, my first stop was the... restaurant, I ordered 8 pc wings and coleslaw with an angry orchard drink. Right off the bat the coleslaw was dry and wasn'tflavorful to me, also it had celery which threw me off and made me disliked it even more. The wings were not crispy at all, theskin was very like a gummy texture and the sauce that was put upon the wings was some sort of off putting BBQ sauce. I finishedit because I was very hungry, the server was extremely nice and we talked about music and we had similar taste, even though thefood was meh the server made the experience better, so I tipped him 10 bucks. Onto the music, now since it was a Daft Punktribute night, I expected to hear Daft Punk, the DJ of the night didn't start playing DP until it was close to 9:30pm, I'll giveit some slack only cause it was probably sound check and other preparations. The music was great but the volume was extremelyloud, now I don't mind loud music but when it gets to the point where your ears starts to hurt badly that's when you know it'snot fun, it's survival. The crowd started to leave around 10 or 10:30pm. To no fault of the DJ but it was just too much to bear.The party quickly turned very boring for me so I left at 12am. Overall the Brooklyn bowl should step up on the food and turndown the volume a bit in the music department, not very enjoyable. Read more
Great place to have some fun. Building has a restaurant/bar, a bowling alley, and a music venue area with another bar. There is... also a lounge like area in the center. Bathroom is super clean too, which is always a plus. Would def go back for another event. Read more
This place in Williamsburg is good to try. Not for the food. Not for the drinks (they don't serve cocktails except frozen... margarita). Not for the bowling (you have to wait tooooo long to have the chance to play, especially the weekend after 8pm) Thisplace is ideal when you attend a concert. The room is huge, with hardwood floors and luckily well climatized in case you get toohot and excited with the show! I had the chance to attend the Atomic Funk Project live show, a group of musicians singing thebest of Prince and Stevie, soul, funk, pop and rock. I danced for 2 hours like when I was in my 20s. There is a cover charge. Read more
I've been here before to watch the Superbowl and for a Christmas party. This is my first back since the beginning of the... pandemic. We brought hand sanitizer and the wet wipes that came with the food. The BBQ wings and fried chicken was delicious.The calamari is also good but gets cold fast. The meat flatbread and vegetarian flatbread look similar. The mask mandate hasbeen lifted for restaurants so only employees had it on. I wish attendees wore it as well. Read more
Sunday Family Hours were so much fun with little ones. Lots of music and dancing. Even though they say the volume for the live... music is turned down on Sundays I would still suggest noise cancelling headphones for the kids. Would definitely go again! Read more
Unusual type of place to see a concert, being part bowling alley/ part nightclub. Mostly standing room only, though there are... some picnic type tables to the side. Fortunately we got in early enough to get seats. Sound quality was very good. SamanthaFish put on a good show, but saw her again recently in another hall and enjoyed it much more. Didn?t try the food, menu waspricey for what was available. Overall though I'm in no hurry to go back there, at 62 , standing room doesn't work for me. Read more
GREAT venue to see a show, awesome ambiance with an intimate setting to see one of my favorite musicians, Bruce Hornsby. No... bowling was going on during the performance thankfully. The venue's sound was awesome! I was in the VIP section for theperformance and thoroughly enjoyed it; it wasn't too crowded and was right there next to him practically, worth the extra fewdollars. The service was attentive and the food and drinks were delicious. Would definitely go to see another concert here. Read more
