The most interesting reviews

- The place has it ALL! Bowling, live music, great food & drinks.

- I really liked this place, not just bowling. The food and the drinks were very good. Don't expect (bowling alley food) They also had a large stage with a excellent Latin band and a huge dance floor.

- Cool hang. Decent food. Good bowling. Prolly better venue for live music than Steel.

- So visiting here, Brooklyn Bowl, is an interesting venue. Was there for a social gathering, middle of the afternoon, b owling was good, lanes in good shape, place( at that time of day) kid friendly. Food was upscale bowling alley offerings. Service was fast, place serves alcohol, and the people drinking, said the drinks were good. As a music venue, I bet the place rocks! LOUD! I would go back... Would really like to see/ hear a rockin band shake that place.

- We had an awesome time last night . The music and ambiance were amazing.

- Loved the atmosphere the live band the food the drinks

- Incredible venue, the event staff and the entire team that work for Brooklyn Bowl were incredibly kind. The most stunning lights I've seen at a venue so far.

- I truly don’t know what happened to this place. It used to have the best shows and great nights with latin dancing too etc. Now it’s always closed on Sundays, the day when groups are looking for chill places to bowl or dance. Just makes no sense. And I barely see any creative band line ups. I used to go here a lot with dozens of my friends.

- A paid show was cancelled, they charged us for the event and replaced the live band with a DJ. The DJ didn't play anything associated with the original ticket and continued to tell ticket payers no requests.

- Nice place and a lot of fun! Pigeons Playing

Ping Pong was AWSOME . I’ll be back!

- Dope spot great atmosphere. Live music, food and bowling you can’t go wrong.

- Went for a hosted event - place was very clean and the staff was super helpful and nice!

- This was an awesome venue to have a work event at! The food was decent and the talent was amazing!!! I didn’t give 5 stars because the staff could have been a little more friendly and accommodating.

We brought our 4-year-old to Brooklyn Bowl for Family Bowl Day on 2/23/26 and left with one hour of bowling after nearly two hours of being misled and managed poorly by staff. Writing this specifically for families, especially those traveling from outside the neighborhood with young kids like we did, with limited weekend time to waste.

We arrived at 12:15/12:20 pm, just after Family Bowl started at noon. We missed an available lane by minutes and were placed on the waitlist, which was no biggie. Before deciding to stay, I asked the front desk attendant for some clarifying info - asking directly if she knew how long the wait would be and whether their 2-hour lane limit, posted in large print at the check-in desk, was being enforced. Questions that would inform our decision on whether to wait or not. She confirmed some lanes taken by walk-ins were being used for only 30-60 minutes and told us walk-ins to wait for a text to return to check-in. Great - my family and others made decisions based on that information. Some went to nearby restaurants for brunch, decided to drive around a bit and take in Williamsburg until they were summoned back. Some ate at the in-house restaurant. We decided to wait since we were #2 on the waitlist and hung out in the waiting area with our son. It's a very lively space, lots of movement, good music and cool decor.

But then ...an hour after our initial check-in, we were informed that multiple pre-made reservations would supersede the entire walk-in waitlist, several lanes were out of order, and the facility was closing early. All of this was known at 12:30 when we checked in. None of it was shared with us or any other walk-ins.

When I raised this, the front desk attendant became defensive. After speaking with two additional staff members about the lack of transparency, I stepped outside with my family to figure out our next steps and received a text that we had been removed from the waitlist entirely with no explanation. I also flagged to staff that a group of young teenagers outside, also walk-ins, had no idea about the reservation situation. Staff moved them to the top of the waitlist ahead of my family, who had been waiting longer. I have no issue with teens getting a lane. The situation itself was the problem. We were eventually offered one hour on a lane, with the caveat that a pre-made reservation was incoming to occupy the same lane. At the 1 hour 5 minute mark, staff approached us and we were asked to wrap up.

As a small business owner, I understand decisions that make sense on paper but play out poorly in practice. But why advertise Family Bowl Day if only 4-5 families will actually bowl while dozens sit on a waitlist indefinitely? When we left, over 20 parties were still on the waitlist with 3 hours of business remaining before early closure. That is not a family event - that's a useless waitlist; a nightmare for folks with children.

Families considering Brooklyn Bowl for Family Bowl Day should know: reservations take full priority, capacity may be limited, and the facility may close early since they run adult only event in the evenings. Staff WILL NOT volunteer this information. You will likely find out only after you have already waited. It's a weird "IFKYK" situation that no one has time for.

On the plus side - the food servers and waiter on the lane were great. Our lane malfunctioned and wouldn't return the ball - the lane tech was great too, was quick in rectifying which was appreciated since we were being timed pretty closely.

Everyone works so hard for weekends with our kids, right ... who wants to literally argue their way onto a bowling lane on a Saturday afternoon? Our time and money will go elsewhere, and we will be sharing our experience with our circles.

Rated five stars because the Knicks just spanked the Cavs. Like, bruv... Five stars all day. Fun was had by all.

The water was crisp and helped keep my voice right. Peace. Brooklyn Bowl... We love you.

It's 80 degrees. outside , we're paying $40 to see a concert on a Saturday night and Pete Shapiro is too cheap to put the AC on. he had them turn the fans up. It's like a wind storm in here and it's uncomfortably warrn.This will be my last visit.

Really cool vibes! Loud for such a small space for a live band, but a drink helps!

Celebrated my brothers birthday there and it was 90's night. We had a blast. The food was surprisingly really good for a bowling alley, Haha. Drinks and music were great. I would recommend getting there early if you plan to bowl. They do not take reservations for bowling and after a certain time, they stop booking lanes. All in all, we can't wait to go back. Oh, and let's not forget he bathrooms. They were very clean for a real busy venue.

Brooklyn Bowl is a great bowling alley and venue, but the lack of accessibility due to the number of events they have there and poor communication about them prevents it from really being a neighborhood spot. The fact that you can’t reserve lanes unless you are paying thousands of dollars for a private event, and inexplicably the wait is sometimes hours long (even if you get there when it opens) is frustrating. I’ve never been for the sole purpose of seeing a concert, but I imagine it’d be kind of odd with the noise of the bowling going on in the background.

An amazing spot for having some brisket, a few beers, and watch a concert while bowling
