    The lanes and balls suck, but man, this is a great place. Make sure to play hockey while you're here!

    Not only is the wait horrendous, but the staff consistent underestimates how long it will be.

    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.

    Don'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

    Bowling is cash only and they don't take $50s or $100s. The bar takes credit cards.

    Amazing untill they decide you are too 'wasted' to bowl. Watch out for the girl with the curly fro she will eat you for breakfast.

    Be prepared to double your wait time. And don't accept lane 5, broke down 3 times during our 2 hours.

    Cool 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
