| - My husband is a bowler and so when he found notice of Brooklyn Bowl before our last Vegas trip, it went to the top of the 'must see' list. We cruised the menu and decided this was a spot for dinner as there were no concerts when we were there (Christmas).
For our visit, we came in early to catch happy hour in the bar. We got a pitcher of boozy arnold palmers as they were on for half price. To share, we started with the rock n roll fries, as I love poutine. If anyone has had Beecher's mac and cheese, this oddly tasted very similar, which I think it per the cajun spices. It was amazing overall, though veeery salty. We figured it was the gravy as we encountered that again with dinner. After the fries, we shared a 1/2 chicken mixed plate with the cucumber salad instead of greens as I don't eat pork. The chicken was good, though my husband had the breast and he claimed it was quite dry. The cucumber salad is also pickles, which could be quite disappointing if you actually ordered it as your sole side. We then ordered a pitcher of mojitos and enjoyed lounging on the couch in the bar.
We decided to bowl and while it was quite a long wait, they're very nice and offer to call you when your lane is ready. It took us about an hour before we could bowl, but when we got up there, everything was ready for us, including shoes, and so we could start right away. They let you stop your own time by letting a server know when you're done, which lets you talk yourself into doing an hour instead of half, like you had already planned. I was terrible but we had a good time.
Finally, and my absolute favorite part of our visit, was the karaoke portion of the night. It appeared that this was a new event, but a full band plays on the stage and you go up and sing along. It was like a free concert. The host was hilarious and didn't hesitate to rip on people who made up their own lyrics or botched the song. The band was amazing and happily played duplicates as necessary. This made our night and is what all of our friends have heard that we will be going to during our next visit.
Overall, service was wonderful in all parts of the space. The concert area is small enough to be intimate but has plenty of different places to stand, so you're not like sardines. We won't hesitate to be back as we had a great visit.
