I've lost count how many times I've been to Brooklyn Bowl. At least 20 times over the last 3 years. I haven't done any bowling here, but let me tell you about the times I've been to dinner and concerts.
First off, the chicken is amazing. Well the whole menu is pretty awesome. Its a smaller menu, however everything is cooked just right. Three of my favorite appetizers are the Rock & Roll fries (see my pics to learn how much I love fries topped w/gravy), the fried calamari w/the cayenne mayo, and BBQ pork sliders w/slaw and dilled cucumbers. Sometimes my fiancee and I will do a San Gennaro flatbread pizza as an app instead. As far as dinner, I loved the "really" sloppy joe. Not a fan of coleslaw, but the slaw on this sandwich is awesome. I still have dreams of the blackened catfish, which is weird, because catfish thats not fried is like, "WTF BRO"! But the chefs here blacken that catfish to perfection. As well as the blackened salmon. Anything blackened on the menu is SPECTACULAR!! And I'll still fight anyone who says Brooklyn Bowl's chicken isnt up there with the GOATs!! Eat the chicken with honey for an orgasm of your tastebuds.
I've also seen the Roots NYE at Brooklyn Bowl. What a magical show. Seen Dizzy Wright twice. DJ Quik. Bone. Dogg Pound. Erykah Badu. I got to see George Clinton and muthafuckin P-FUNK NYE at Brooklyn Bowl!! Its an awesome place to catch a show. Most times you won't have to wait more than 10 minutes to get a drink, even of the place is packed, and a round will always be less than $20. Pay the extra for a table with bar and food tab on a bowling lane for that extra VIP service during a show.
I can go on forever about Brooklyn Bowl. All I'd suggest is go to Brooklyn Bowl if you're hungry for dinner. Go to Brooklyn Bowl for Happy Hour. Go to Brooklyn Bowl if you want to catch a concert. Just go to Brooklyn Bowl!!
