Alex RobertsonNovember 25, 2019I haven't bowled here but it was an OK place to see my friends cover prefab sprout
Maybe it feels a little too on the nose, like a theme bar trying to capture what was 2010s Brooklyn, but damn if it’s not a good time.- Best Bowling in the city... Avoid the B&T at the other Brooklyn Bowl-ing venue.
Not only is the wait horrendous, but the staff consistent underestimates how long it will be.
The lanes and balls suck, but man, this is a great place. Make sure to play hockey while you're here!
Larry ChengOctober 5, 2009Go to Gutter and get a lane and several pitchers of beer. Bowl you heart out, bonus points if you come straight from a wedding and are in a suit and tie.
Emily KaneDecember 20, 2015Hope you're looking forward to waiting! Decent place to get drunk before not bowling.
Tatty LeeApril 5, 2014Don't go there! I planned to have my wedding party there on 04.04.2014 at 5:30pm and the whole party got kicked out by manager because one of our guests had a copy of ID, because she lost the original
Takes forever to bowl so make sure you have a thirst for pitchers.
Kris AMay 24, 2012Bowling is cash only and they don't take $50s or $100s. The bar takes credit cards.
free comedy on first Wednesday of the month! starts at 7! bread and butter!
Kelly KaiJune 17, 2010Amazing untill they decide you are too 'wasted' to bowl. Watch out for the girl with the curly fro she will eat you for breakfast.
Mike McBryanDecember 11, 2014Be prepared to double your wait time. And don't accept lane 5, broke down 3 times during our 2 hours.
BaxterTheBossSeptember 8, 2011Cool spot, but manager's rude after our lane broke 4 times she proceeds to tell us there is "nothing wrong" and we have to"press reset" then bowls for the next 10 min to prove her point? Kinda strange
I <3 longtime. It's dirty and boozy and awesome. Just know your bowling etiquette, assholes.
Elias TypaldosJuly 16, 2010Just having a fantastic time at the gutter bowling. The place is great and are the staff
Marisa SantilloDecember 31, 2013Hour and a half for bowling...you'll end up waiting for three hours. Boo you whore.
