So I've been to the Brooklyn Bowl twice now. The first was just for bowling (Christmas work party) I thought "hey what a great venue to see a band it's so intimate" and the other time was tonight when I went to see one of my favorite bands Brand New. So the tickets sold out within a day so I new that it would be crowded. But I didn't realize I couldn't see the stage at all! I'm 5'3 so I thought hey I'll wear some heels I'll be 5'7 it will work out. Wrong. My husband is 6'3 he couldn't even see the stage! The stage is on a weird lower level so I doubt anyone could see anything unless you were at the edge of the balcony looking down. On top of that everyone was drunk and getting into fights. Not really any security. I would just say don't go to a show here if you want to see a band you really care about. You won't be able to actually see them. Oh and the fried chicken was okay.
