Not that you need another tip telling you to get the fried chicken,but do itGreat place to drink & catch music,but if you're looking to bowl the pins are on strings.Head to Gutter for a better alley
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.
Lauren PatrickNovember 17, 2015There are one way windows from the bathroom stalls where you can spy out into the bowling ally!!
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.
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.
Joseph TamJuly 24, 2010Great venue that combines a restaurant/bar, bowling alley, and concert hall all into one. The fried chicken is pretty killer.
FanBridgeOctober 14, 2011Checking in for Harvest Bowl? Soak up that beer with an order of Rock n' Roll Fries. You'll thank us tomorrow morning.
Wouter VeenstraOctober 10, 2012Awesome cool venue in BK, glad that they accepted a scan of passport which I saved in my email!
Alexandra JenkinsJune 21, 2015Great music, and other good things. Unfortunately one of the staff members was super rude to me backstage.
bennie shamMarch 4, 2012the fried chicken here is surprisingly delicious! great spices, crispy and not greasy at all.

Ash FontanaSeptember 17, 2011Gigs, bowling, food and beer piped directly from Brooklyn Brewery, all under the one roof
Clyde Erwin BarrettoJuly 9, 2011The bowling is too expensive but the shows are great as well as the food at Blue Ribbon. Fried Chicken!
Africa HannibalJanuary 17, 2012Best Food I've Ever Had at a Bowling Alley. Plus Quest Love DJ's There on Thursdays
Marlene LApril 22, 2012The Brooklyn Weisse, rock-n-roll fries, & chicken are definite must-haves!! YUM!
RazorfishSeptember 20, 2011Takes bowling alley concept to new level of hang-out. And there’s different zones for eating, drinking, dancing, or bowling.
Matt DorvilleFebruary 1, 2010Awesome Bowling Alley but be prepared to spend some dough. It's 40 dollars an hour for a lane so keep track of your time. Food is amazing though. Get the fried chicken.... Read more
NYC: The Official GuideJuly 1, 2013Fun fact: Brooklyn Bowl’s space was previously the site of an ironworks foundry.
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.
Emily HanhanSeptember 28, 2009Eat Blue Ribbon fried chicken, drink locally brewed and delicious beer, enjoy the kickass venue and swank decor. Oh, and bowl, if you're into that.
They make the vodka sodas strong. Bring your dancing shoes!
