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.
Fried chicken. Bowling. Music. What more could you ask for?
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.
David BrahlerSeptember 16, 2016I'm not sure which was worse. The TSA level security that wanded me head to toe and patted me down before entering the venue or the Secret Service level security task force who monitored the audience.
Christopher CarterOctober 19, 2013Fried chicken is good and the fries great food for a bowling alley really surprised.
They make an awesome Hot Toddy - perfect for the winter weather or if you like Jameson Irish Whiskey. :)
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!
Sebastian GFebruary 20, 2016Bit of a rip-off. You have to pay the cover to go bowling. And it's pretty much just your standard bowling alley. But probably nice if you stay for the music.
Concerts, Bowling, Dancing, and Fried Chicken. Also, Questlove DJ's here on Thursdays.
Matthew SpectorApril 12, 2015Blue Ribbon fried chicken and an awesome vibe - more than just a bowling alley.
RazorfishSeptember 20, 2011Takes bowling alley concept to new level of hang-out. And there’s different zones for eating, drinking, dancing, or bowling.
Carrot CreativeFebruary 5, 2013Did you know they opened this place just so they could serve fried chicken? Get it with a brooklyn brew for some hipster charm.
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.
Scowl at the wait to bowl and then the 2 hour limit that is strictly enforced. And then go to the Gutter two streets over to bowl.
Doug GlamcyJanuary 26, 2012The loaded fries are amazing. Just be prepared for the required heart bypass. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Russell HirschornDecember 25, 2015Eat fried chicken, go bowling (make a res or get there early), drink alcohol, listen to music.
CompassJuly 24, 2013Reggae, rock, jazz, rap, and pop acts grace the stage of Brooklyn Bowl, where bowling comes second to music.
Beer, music, bowling, and blue ribbon fried chicken...what else do you need?! 🍻🎤🎳🍗👌
Liz VernonApril 29, 2016The dancefloor and bar can be awkward spaces when crowded, and the bouncers inside are mean cattle herders. :-(
Kyle TuckJanuary 28, 2012This place is a MUST for The noob or the vet. Huge stage, great beer, fast bartenders, bowling!
Everything. Just everything. Bowling, beer, fried chicken.
James GreenDecember 2, 2014This place is wild. Crowded and loud, but good bowling and great burgers. Brooklyn brews all the time.
Cesar RazuriNovember 30, 2014Great food and music venue. Not much of a bowler but looks like a blast.
Miss MJune 15, 2010It is the best fried chicken I have ever had; but, I always try to save room for the chocolate chip bread pudding a la mode. Crazy good.
Anthony MaioranaSeptember 22, 2012First time at a concert eating fried chicken with people striking in the background. While drinking smuggled whiskey cokes. Pretty good first time.
Joe OrtizJuly 16, 2011Free bowling 6-7 pm weekday evenings during the summer plus good food & booze. Try the fries with a Sixpoint especially!- Rome HerbertSeptember 20, 2013Best night to come thou is Thursday night questlove is killing it on the Dj tip food is always a go.
BLDProjectJune 24, 2011Summer Bowl special: Free bowling (and shoes!) Mon-Fri 6-7p all summer long. Have to pay the cover of that night's show though, which can be $5-$20+
SeatcrewNovember 1, 2011One of the great features of Brooklyn Bowl is their vast selection of the Brooklyn Lager varieties!
VH1July 21, 2010There’s usually a cover, but if you’re in a large enough group, they may waive it – just ask. Also, you’ve got to get the fried chicken. – Piotr S.

Thomas MasottaNovember 9, 2014Live music and bowling, what more can you ask for? Oh yes and great fried chicken.
Alexandra JenkinsJune 21, 2015Great music, and other good things. Unfortunately one of the staff members was super rude to me backstage.
Clyde Erwin BarrettoJuly 9, 2011The bowling is too expensive but the shows are great as well as the food at Blue Ribbon. Fried Chicken!
Fried chicken was on best things I've ever ate on the food network : secret is matza crumbs for the crisp.
Marlene LApril 22, 2012The Brooklyn Weisse, rock-n-roll fries, & chicken are definite must-haves!! YUM!
olivier PEYREJanuary 20, 2014Beautiful Bowling Alley, DJ ?uestlove's Soul Dance Parties on Thursday, best Fried Chicken in town by Blue Ribbon.
MazdaOctober 26, 2010Brooklyn Bowl stakes out expansive new territory, literally and conceptually, in the 23,000-square foot former Hecla Iron Works (1882), one block from the burgeoning waterfront.
Jessica PerrySeptember 21, 2010The rock 'n' roll fries are the pinnacle of salty deliciousness. Worth the high blood pressure that is bound to occur afterward.

"Ask for the Pete's Special. It comes in green, red, and purple. You can get rainbow too, but it ends up being purple. Also: you will end up very drunk and will feel insane, in a good way"
