Pretty neat place! Club level is pretty cozy and they bring you drinks! Bowling on one side, box on the other with GA below and great view of the stage pretty much everywhere! Oh and the staff and security people really friendly and thoughtful!
I love seeing shows here, probably one of the only ways I get see my favorite bands in Las Vegas.
This venue is very poorly run. The sound system is nice and all but that isn t the only factor in determining a good venue. I went to the sold out Stick Figure show on New Year s Eve. The doors we re supposed to open at 8 but they didn t start letting people in till almost 8:30. I was lucky enough to be one of the first ones in but a lot of people missed the opening act because it took them an hour an a half to usher the line in the front door with their minimal staff. A girl passed out next to me and it took almost 5 minutes to find someone to help. It was an overcrowded dangerous situation. There was also no organization for the coat check after the show it was like nobody worked there and the people who did didn t care. Iya Terra and Stick Figure were amazing as usual but I will not attend another show there.
Packed my equipment and dragged it a half a mile through the casino and outside to get to the building (the website says it opens at 11 AM and closes at 2 AM). I get there and it is "closed for a private event" and the door says it opens at 5 PM. Seems as if nobody has updated the website yet but it needs to be updated because that is false advertising. Oh it's true. Don't @ me. Fix the issue and I'll give it 4 or 5 stars because that's how much I love bowling everywhere.
Best chicken wings & Black Catfish w/2 sides.... A little expensive but what do u expect on the strip... they have great concerts too!!
Waited on the stairs almost 30 minutes after the doors were supposed to open. Drinks are decently priced, and they have a decent selection. During the event, security told my non-drinking friend to "calm down" because he was being loud. Everyone else being loud seemed to be fine. It felt pretty uncalled for. Overall, as a venue it felt a little lacking in organization, I probably won't try to come back unless it has a killer show.
Don't bother paying for club level seats....they closed half the club level n oversold the remaining seats. ...it was more crowded than the floor .....security sucked, people pushing n shoving stealing drinks right off the table, others standing on tables n chairs to try n see anything. I spent $500 between tickets n drinks n felt like I had to fight all night....there are other venues like the joint or house of blues where you can get club level that really let you enjoy the show....the security people here were useless
Great concert venue with a nice lighting rig, good sight lines and great air circulation. Pretty good food, especially the chicken. The wedge salad I had was kind of a miss but you can't win em all especially in Vegas.
Great place to party! Staff and venue were excellent.
The staff was incredible! More specifically, Director of Marketing and PR Christi Nelson was INCREDIBLE.
I had a unique experience, as I was on a work assignment to do a news report about a musician performing at Brooklyn Bowl. I showed up in Las Vegas, called the venue off-the-cuff, and Christi responded within minutes.
When my crew arrived for the shoot, Christi not only greeted us at the door, she also found us the best angles to shoot our video. She was also quick on her toes. Minutes after our live shot fell through inside the building, she made sure we were clear to videotape live on the Linq Promenade.
I must say that after spending a few minutes inside, I ended up falling in love with the venue itself.
For one, whoever does lighting for the concerts is amazing!
The proximity of the stage to the floor where the audience stands makes you feel like it's just you and the band in the room.
If you don't want to stand with the rest of the audience, there are areas on either side of the stage.
You can also sit at a bar close to the front entrance of the venue that's somewhat sectioned off from the stage area.
The reason it's called Brooklyn Bowl is because there is an actual bowling alley, stage left. As I understand it, you can rent out a bowling lane as a VIP area during concerts. Correct me, if I'm wrong.
All in all, I cannot wait to revisit Brooklyn Bowl off the clock. It's a surprisingly intimate and amazing musical treasure that I never expected to find so close to the busy Las Vegas Boulevard strip.
The atmosphere at Brooklyn Bowl is amazing! I had a great time walking around taking photos here. The dance floor has incredible lighting! The whole place is a visual experience in an of itself.
Drink prices are typical for the Las Vegas Strip, which is why it isn't 5-star. We only had beer, so I can't review the food. I will say this: we ordered IPA, and it was very hoppy - too strong for me, in fact. The bartender no only offered to replace it with something else, but she let me try two others - no charge. Great service!
If you have a local ID, you can bowl free on Monday nights - including shoes - up to 8 people on a lane. How can you go wrong? Next time, we will try the food!
Thank you, Brooklyn Bowl, for a very unique Las Vegas hangout!
PRO TIP: Go to the bar on the 2nd level and ask for the Bourbon Nutella Shake with a shot of Bourbon. It's the best $10 Shake you'll EVER have.
I've attended a few concerts at Brooklyn Bowl, and I've found it's one of my favorite venues in Vegas. I love the aesthetics they've gone with and the intimate stage. I've yet to bowl at their lanes as I'd rather bowl at a standard alley, but they'd be great for a party. As usual with other bars on the strip, drinks can be a little pricey (~$10 for an in house beer, decent though). It's a bit subjective, but BB tends to host a number of bands I'm a fan of, including Ok GO, Strfkr, Beck and more.
I've been bowling here once and two concerts. Fantastic venue for shows.
Brooklyn Bowl.
Thursday November 7, 2019.
Nahko & Medicine For The People.
Nattali Rize
Once again Nahko hits it out of the ballpark. Saw him last month in South Florida at one of my favorite venues in Lauderdale. This time back in Vegas where I currently live. He really is fantastic along with his opening act, Nattali Rize. Im grateful that Brooklyn Bowl booked him.
Now on to Brooklyn Bowl. I ve been here once before for a networking event. I have only been once because I moved here 18months ago. I can assure you it won t be the last time I ll be attending a show there. Sound was incredible, venue stunning; I love how you have an option to book the bowling lanes with a small group of people for the show itself. Im not sure many were actually bowling because of how outstanding the show was.
The big disco ball upon entering & the same one on the dance floor is such a beautiful piece of art to represent this venue. Drink prices were not badly priced. This is my personal opinion when I m thinking of things like this I m sheets comparing to South Beach (where I spent most of my life) & also in comparison to Strip Prices. With that said $10-15 depending on what Spirit you are ordering. I think beer maxed out around $10. And the lighting was just right. I enjoy how the band is on every television & screen inside the venue even though if you were at the back of the room, you still would be winning!
Also, this is a big one; your staff is fantastic. For being on the strip & also being the type of venue it is, Security Staff is a BIG WIN in my book. It just shows that it doesn t matter where they represent, Security can represent with a smile no matter what! Hats off to the entire Team!
Looking forward to Thievery Corporation in the near future.
They blamed the band Offspring for not allowing under 18, but yet other location they play is all ages. After reading other comments I see its brooklyn bowl that has age limit. Blaming the band is a douchebag move. I don't understand you let 18 in but not 16??? It's not like there's nudity. I couldn't even pay more to bowl at the same time.
Great music venue, but don't waste your time at the restaurant.
Went for a work party and it was awesome the bowling was fun and bartenders were not greedy.
Rude staff!!!!!! Super rude security. They abuse there authority. Over priced drinks!! A ridiculous 18$ fee when purchasing tickets! Nothing special about this place. Not for locals that's for sure!! I'll never go back!!!
Super cool venue! It feels like you're at a secret concert that is intimate and everyone is close to the stage. I really liked the vibe there.
Really cool venue with multiple levels, stage, dance floor and a bowling alley.
What a fun venue! I like that there are a few different areas to hang out, like the large porch.
Decent bowling lanes and a nice place for medium sized concerts.
Great venue, professional staff, great experience. Thank you.
Seen Wu-tang, Miss Jill Scoot, and Miss Erykah Badu both x2. Really enjoy this place.
Great place! Some great bands come through here! Always lots of fun!
The food is also very good and the people that work there are very nice!
Awesome place with great chicken and great service.
Waste of time coming here during their working hours, turned away due to private events.
This review update is for the restaurant. While the venue is still cool and has a nice vibe, the restaurant offers nothing else than average American bar food. Our table tried the PIZZA ON FRENCH BREAD which tasted okay, although I didn't expect a baguette with toppings when they say "french bread". The CAESARS SALAD was crunchy but the CORN on the side was cold. It was corrected though quickly by the attentive staff.
The bar looks well equipped but you have to stick to their 4 house cocktails, no extra wishes allowed. The MOJITO W/ EXTRA SHOT was delicious though.
Lots of fun and very large space if you are with a big group. Lots to do around here as well. I would go there agian for sure. Food was average but not bad for bar food.
This place was amazing! The portions were huge and they had the best happy hour specials for food and drinks!
Neat venue for bowling or a concert. Food is also good. The seating and table space is quite cramped if another group is bowling next to you and drinks are a bit on the high side.
Every concert I see here is never dissapointing. They have great staff and an interesting venue style that has a 2 level bowling alley. The sound here will leave your ears ringing for days! If you're traveling to vegas for vacation but can't commit to buying tickets weeks out, don't worry, they sell tickets at the door and are rarely sold out for shows. The Brooklyn Bowl is located in
The Linq corridor that is made up of many bars and restaurants, along with small stores like Polaroid. And not far is the High Roller Ferris Wheel that over looks all of Las Vegas and the Strip.
Looks like a great place for shows. I was there for happy hour half-price apps and beer they let me try a couple beers till I found one I liked the appetizers we're great and even better was the fried chicken.
Brooklyn Bowl is hands down the coolest bowling ally, night club, bar infusion. This place took me by surprise! I was invited to a Christmas party for an airlines company ~ over 3,000 attendees ~ it was so incredible!
#bowling #datenight #lasvegasstrip #brooklynbowl #bowl #dance #party #toomuchfun
I ddnt enjoy the pat down & metal detector wanding for the Hightimes afterparty.
This is a excellent venue to visit in Las Vegas. This place has a unique vibe and one of the most chill spots we ve found on the strip. The food is amazing and they have lots of different games.
Fun venue, friendly staff and security. Drinks are a bit pricey but that's expected in Vegas. I like this venue because it never feels overcrowded. There's a little restaurant and a bar that also serves food inside. So you can watch the show, take a break and watch the show on the TVs and have something to eat. Sound is great. Love the setup inside. Well thought out.
Watched the Super Bowl their in a private room. This place is awesome, the service was great, and the food provided was good. We had a really good time.
Great spot to chill at. Josh was a great server. Fried pickles and chicken sliders were grub! We missed Raphael Saadiq performance by one night!! But still had lots of fun.
Interesting place to have a drink and share a game of bowling. The food is brought to the card table. Great fun if a little pricey for the food they give. Spicy chicken wings are very rich.
Great staff, food is huge. Expensive like everything else in Vegas
Had a great time. The space was beautiful the location was great and the drinks were decently priced for being on the strip! Only thing is the uber couldn t find me but that s a whole different review.
Was there for blues traveler what a show !! Was worth every penny. May have to try the menu some.time.. And chrisrobinsonthebrotherhood there April 25 yay me !! It won't be the black crowes but the brotherhood that place will have to roof blown off it . Chris brings some of the crowes tunes with him !!
Poor experience, do not recommend. Much better venues in town.
Over priced drinks (typical Vegas). Venue looked cool. Saw a reggae band.
I would adore this place if it weren't inside of the linq which is only a great place to be if you are on vaca or otherwise staying at the linq. The venue appears to be completely oblivious to any construction or difficulties with getting into the linq and if you pre-purchase tickets it'd be nice to know that the harrah's garage is the linq garage. Everyone that comes here is not a linq regular or tourist staying in the hotel and the lack of info that you provide can completely ruin a person's night.
Pricey but delicious. Come during happy hour to get half off appetizers and drinks!
Place ia huge, food is good, booze is great, vibe is awesome!
Loved this venue felt very open and they have the balcony to chill out on.
Excellent venue for live music, and bowling to boot. First time performing he a couple weeks ago, opening for STEEL PULSE. Was quite the experience for myself and other band members as well. Thank you BROOKLYN BOWL!!
Discovered that they offered free bowling for locals on Mondays, so we decided to give it a try. My first thought about the location was that the space is HUGE; it is several floors and compared to the things that they offer it makes it seem very empty. There was a wait list when we arrived to the bowling counter so we placed our names and decided to eat at the restaurant area. (At 9pm the venue becomes 21+ only so they asked to check our ids beforehand.)
At the restaurant we ordered the 8pc white piece fried chicken platter and that was pretty filling for three people. The portions of chicken are ridiculously big. The chicken came out piping hot and very moist. Definitely recommend trying that out if you visit. My only gripe about the visit would be that the service was quite slow; the staff seem a bit uncoordinated.
After dinner we headed back to the bowling area and they had a lane and our shoes set up for us to start playing. So the way the free bowling works for locals is if you spend $30 or more on food and beverage you get an hour of free play. We were able to get two games done within that time which was perfect for us. It ended up being a great way to spend a Monday night.
Good bars in this big bar-nightclub. Some good concerts, many different evening's and a terrasse if you want to smoke. A good place to meet people
BE WARNED: The venue says it is for anyone 18 and up, but they will NOT let you in if you are under 21. I was super excited to see pretty lights here until the bouncer turned me down 3 times in a row for being 20; awful way to treat customers who paid a lot of money to see a concert that said it was 18+.
Bowling here is horrible. Lanes have zero oil and the pins are on strings. It's $25-30 a half hour depending on day of the week. Time starts when you register at counter so expect the first 10 min to include getting shoes and putting in names. Worse bowling alley i've been too. +1 star for attentive waitress.
Best fried chicken ever! (And as music venue it's pretty good too)
Awesome venue for a show, saw Run the Jewels a few weeks ago and was blown away.
Nice place to eat
Hanging around
Taking pictures
They serve nice beer nice food
I really enjoy in this trip
If you use uber makesure that you order from pickup point.
Lights are nice...
Hugh roller.....
The venue looks good, went for a awesome concert, but was disappointed by the disorganized ticketing.
The Brooklyn Bowl is not simply unique, but astounding. I've been a few times and each time the staff is over the top. They're incredibly helpful, and hospitable. The venue is absolutely massive, but they make it seem very intimate. The food is brilliant as well as the bowling. Fantastic experience every time. Make it out there for a show any time you can.
Great venue!
This place has a lot to do. not only does the Brooklyn bowl have a bowling alley, it has a restaurant, bar, and a great music venue that a lot of great musicians come to play at.I recommend the fried Chicken if you're going to eat there and my friend would definitely recommend the fried pickles.
Really long lines at the bar , but overall a fun place
Awesome place to see a concert. Kind of a strange concept to have a concert venue right next to a bowling alley, but it works! They have strategically placed bars which make it easy to get a drink no matter where you are in the venue. The acoustics were great, we saw a concert there and it was so much fun! Seems like an awesome place to go out with friends.
Everyone of the staff we encountered were super friendly and accommodating. I was highly empressed with this place. We saw Echo and the Bunneymen and it was our first time at this venue. Ray was especially helpful. Thanks to everyone who made this night great!!!!
Not happy with the venue...tickets purchase for concert 16yrs and up both parties was 18 with school ID also with 24yr old sister. Stood in 3 lines to enter once they got to door to access concert was turned away and securtiy told my son he could od made his school ID. THEY REFUSED TO REFUND I LEFT MSG FOR MGR back in Dec 2015 still no response. 3 TICKETS $60 EACH...THIS VENUE SUCKS CONTINUE TO TAKE PEOPLE $$$$$$
Awesome intimate venue for seeing major touring acts in comfortable surroundings.
Great event space. Bowling while you watch live music, with table service.
