Much more than a music venue, Brooklyn Bowl includes a sixteen lane bowling alley along with a full bar and a restaurant by Blue Ribbon Restaurant Group (don't sleep on the Rock. And. Roll. fries). Complete with a fantastic sound system and a disco ball, read on to hear more about why this is one of our favorite venues for a great night out.

Brooklyn Bowl, built in an iron plant originally constructed in 1876, opened to the public in 2009. The concept immediately garnered a ton of attention in NYC, and since the venue’s opening, it has undeniably grown to be one of the most desirable live music spots in the city. Following the success of the original Bowl, the owners even opened similar locations in Nashville, Philadelphia, and Las Vegas, which notably still have “Brooklyn” in their names.
