    Smaller inside than expected but we had fun. Nothing special, a normal bowling alley.

    I would not recommend, I went there too have a nice time bowling. But instead it smelled like mold and cigarettes.

    One perfect item that you can get someone for the holidays is access to an experience like a…read morebowling night, a meal at a restaurant, or tickets to an awesome concert. or, when it comes to Brooklyn Bowl, you can even get them an experience that involves all of the above. Like most Yelpers, I first officially came into contact with Brooklyn Bowl when Gabby hosted an incredible Elite Event that gave us full access to the food and downstairs bowling. Being one of the people to win tickets to the show upstairs that evening gave me a full preview of how impressive the music venue portion was. But as I gradually went to more shows here the more and more I started to appreciate it even though I was originally wrong about it not being a Ticket Master venue (and I covered many times how I feel about that Ticket Bastard overall). The downstairs bowling venue is comparable to the likes of North Bowl in NoLibs, and since its a Brooklyn-based venue, I appreciate the murals dedicated to Coney Island carnival vibes. The Blue Ribbon restaurant downstairs also ensures that it has some of the best music venue food out there with its fried chicken, french bread pizza, sliders, and then some! Concert options here have run the gamut between old-school hip-hop, heavy metal, punk rock, indie folk, goth industrial, foreign electronic, tribute bands, and then some ensuring that it has the best variety of concerts to check out. The upstairs bar carries on the Coney Island carnival theming and you can even splurge on a private group ticket where you and your friends can share a bowling lane while you wait for bands to come on. But when I saw Gogol Bordello and Wolfmother I just enjoyed wandering among the crowd and had no problem finding a spot toward the front. With shows like White Denim, KMFDM, Tinashe, and Matisyahu on the calendar there's plenty of reason to look ahead to shows in 2024 here.

    I went to Brooklyn Bowl for the CupcakKe concert and unfortunately had a very frustrating…read moreexperience. I understand why venues have ID policies, and I made a real effort to follow them. I initially had a photo of my valid driver's license, but when that wasn't accepted, I went back home (about 15 minutes away) to get another form of ID. Before doing that, I called the venue to make sure I brought something acceptable. I was told that a birth certificate would be fine as long as it showed my date of birth. Trusting that information, I rushed back with it so I wouldn't miss the show. When I returned, security told me it was not acceptable. Trying to resolve the situation, I called the venue again while I was there, and the person who answered told me they had not spoken to me and that a birth certificate is not accepted. When I asked if they could check or connect me with the person I had spoken to earlier, I was told no. At that point, there was nothing else I could do, and I ended up missing the event entirely despite making multiple good-faith efforts to comply. I also want to note that I did have other forms of ID I could have looked for, like my passport, but I relied on the information I was given over the phone and acted on that. To make things feel even more inconsistent, someone I was with who got inside told me a 16-year-old was able to enter, and I later saw a related post on TikTok. I can't personally verify that, but it added to the overall sense of unfairness. Overall, this felt like a serious breakdown in communication that cost me time, money, and the experience I paid for. I hope the venue can improve how staff communicate with guests so others don't go through something similar.

However the food is NOT worth a dime. I'm a foodie so that's important to me. My sister and I took my brother here for his bday and we spent over $300, how do you even spend that while bowling? I ordered two orders of the wings, two pizzas which taste like cardboard and an order of chicken tenders and tatter tots, it was like 9 tots, along with drinks(4 sodas) only three adult beverages...$268 like how???? Our server kept forgetting stuff like naps and straws, at one point I actually went to the bar to get napkins because I didn't want to feel like I was bothering her. Would I go back, of course, just don't eat anything from there unless you are desperate. Very clean and spacious. I will recommend if you go with a large group reserve two lanes.

Our visit started with a nice greeting and excellent communication from managers Yady and Arturo, and continued with professional and efficient service from bowling shoe attendants Marco and Lynna, bartender Jackie and server Olivia. The students loved the mac and cheese and sliders of course, but nothing was better than the chicken nuggets! Being located upstairs and off by ourselves was aHUGE help in keeping them all ion one place with no interaction with the other, older visitors downstairs, so thanks for that! Finally, I would like to note as we prepared to leave I saw Manager Arturo dash past our group and out the front door and I figured maybe his car was being ticketed....only to find out he had run ahead of us to help the students cross the intersection of Swanson Street and Oregon Avenue. It's things like this that endear me to a tour venue!

Lanes were not cheap and are very limited because more than 75% of the lanes are being repaired. They were even working on them on a Saturday night which was a little distractive while trying to focus on getting your ball down the lane. The lanes were unique and that the pins odd strings on them and that's how the pins were reset. My least favorite thing about the bowling alley was that when the balls were returned, they came at a high speed and if your fingers were in the wrong place or you were trying to get a ball at that time, you could really injure your fingers getting them pinched between balls. I included a video of how quickly the ball sneaks up and how concerning this would be especially if a child was playing. During our game, we ordered food and non alcoholic drink drinks from the bar. This is a BYOB so you can bring whatever you want to drink and they do have some mixers that you can buy if you don't bring your own. The food didn't get great reviews. There was one bartender and unfortunately she wasn't there about 50% of the time. There were often periods of time no one was behind the bar for periods long enough that I had to return for my turn to bowl. The video games are expensive. I bought a $20 card and was shocked to see how quickly it ran through. I personally didn't opt for the glow mini mini golf but that did look fun. My favorite activity was the bumper cars. Be warned, some of them do fully invert! I feel like Dave and Busters at Franklin Mills provides a better bowling arcade interaction and has better food and bar services. This place really felt designed to cater to children rather than adults and children. I didn't have a bad time but I would probably not return to this location.
