If Brooklyn bowl is crowded or expensive you can head over to the Gutter, the divey bowling alley around the corner

Hope this becomes a permanent residence for NYHHK. Great performance venue
James PoppJune 24, 2013
Call me old, but when venue lists show starts at 8, and opening act goes on 9:45, that's unacceptable. Also, this place is a barn of sound quality.

You might want to leave your kids at home. I saw three toddlers nearly get trampled. By their parents' friends. It's a child, not an accessory.
