Brooklyn Bowl

"Of course Williamsburg’s main bowling destination serves hummus and blackened Atlantic salmon. And that’s not all. It also has leather couches, a serviceable scotch selection, and a venue where you can have a ’90s dance party or catch a Blink-192 cover band. Brooklyn Bowl is the size of a warehouse, and it’s not your average place to throw a ball at nine pins. There's a full dinner menu, compliments of the people behind Blue Ribbon, and they frequently host ticketed events that range from concerts to group line dancing. Bowling is first come, first served, with rates that start at $30 per half hour." - Bryan Kim

"While Brooklyn Bowl is definitely somewhere you can see live music, we like coming here best with a group of competitive friends looking to perfect their granny roll with a side of boozy milkshakes and really good fried chicken. You’ve got 19 lanes to choose from (they’re first come, first serve), all set in a funky laser-lit space." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

"Local Brooklyn brews and Blue Ribbon's comfort food (mac and cheese balls; fried coconut shrimp) keep folks energized at this hip bowling alley that doubles as a live music venue. It's attracted everyone from Elvis Costello to Big Boi of hip-hop duo Outkast.Bowling gets underway at noon, with the 16 flashy lanes available on a first come, first served basis."

"This adults-only bowling alley turned concert venue provides an entertainment trifecta, guaranteeing a pretty great night out, especially in a group. You can bowl to great music (Questlove, for one, DJs on Thursdays), dine on Blue Ribbon’s fried chicken and spiked milkshakes, and see the occasional big-name group."
