| - The original Brooklyn Bowl hasn't been open that long, but it's sure gotten it's fair share of positive attention, and I'll admit I was pretty skeptical when they announced a Vegas location. Since they opened, I've been able to come here for all sorts of stuff...concerts, special events and finally dining. It's now not only one of my favorite music venues, but probably my favorite place in the entire Linq Promenade.
Our first time here was for a concert we won tickets to. It was kind of shocking to see just how big the place is. Even after going up the escalators and seeing the big open concert area, all the bowling lanes and restaurant areas, you still haven't seen it all as there's even more upstairs...upstairs. More bowling lanes, more bar space, and more areas to see the stage. Downstairs, the classic open standing area and simple stage setup kind of remind me of The Huntridge. As a concert venue, BB just gets it right. The sound quality is outstanding, the lighting is excellent, and you can see the stage clearly from just about anywhere in the place. If you get a chance to see a show here, don't skip out.
For our second visit, we came out for the Yelp's Nerdy Dancing event. The event in itself was amazing, and BB really did a great job hosting, in nearly all aspects. I'm not sure how often they hold private events here, but again, if you get the chance to come to some event, I'd be willing to bet you won't leave disappointed.
Finally, I gotta say...we waited far too long to come here strictly to eat. A big part of that was me just not giving them the benefit of the doubt. All I kept thinking was that their menu just looked like more overpriced, mediocre food on the strip. After all, they are a concert venue with bowling lanes...how could they possibly have good food? Well, they do. In fact, they have some of the best fried chicken you can find in Las Vegas.
Their regular fried chicken dinners run anywhere from $18 and up. If there's at least 2 of you eating though, I'd highly recommend going with the platters. Since my wife isn't really a dark meat fan, we ended up going with an 8 piece, all white meat platter for $30. It might sound like a lot, but you're getting a lot of food for the money. Not only 4 whole wings, but 4 breasts too. Big, juicy chicken breast with some of the best "batter" you can get in town. I love that they aren't afraid to actually put some flavor into it. There's a nice thick coating with a present, but not overpowering spicy kick to it. What makes it even better is that there version is some of the least greasiest fried chicken I've had. Juicy meat, crispy flavorful outside, and almost no grease...it's a must try.
We also got an order of the Mac & Cheese. It's a bit pricey at $13, but if you like Parmesan, this will be your thing. I'm not so much a fan of Parmesan, but even still, it's a solid version. Lots of flavor, a unique crispy bread crumb blend on top, and the portion size is huge too.
Brooklyn Bowl really just has so much to offer, that's it almost unheard of that they do so much, so well. If you haven't been to BB yet, whether its for a concert, event or even just to eat...what are you waiting for?
