Lounge and Rock with Me
Jun 2019 • Friends
This is an amazing concert venue which serves just about all ages—no exaggeration! Visited multiple times for different events. On this particular occasion the reggae band ‘Taj and Adowa’ played. His sultry satisfying voice set the mood for my evening-desire satisfied.
The service is great, food can be better—shrimp and calamari WAYYY overdone. Red wine👍. Oh! Check out the restrooms-woodwork, admirable. Venue is 9mins walk from the closest train so cab-it if you are late. Go check it out!

Marcus King Band < awesome
Jun 2019 • Friends
First timer at BB, been looking forward to for ages.
Pros: great set up for bands, good sound, decent food, good selection of drinks, screens throughout to see the band if you’re towards the back
Cons: no seating where the stage is, could easily have bar stools, can’t sit at the bar where the booths are and have a drink, was turned away during the show, bar service in the main area is cold & impersonal, too far from subways in either direction (guess it’s ok if you live in Brooklyn, but not good for coming from the city)
I would possibly go back, but with Irving Plaza, Webster Hall (open again), and the Cutting Room, in the City, won’t be rushing back.

Love the Bowl
May 2019 • Friends
I must be here every week. Went to see Meat Puppets. Great. Jamming, fun, good times. The audience were like zombies. Come on people loosen up. Music is good for the soul.
Anyway, it is standing room only. Sets start on time and if there isn't a DJ or EMO party at 11pm music lasts well past midnite. :).
Beers are Brooklyn about $8 a pop. Highly recommend you come for happy hour which ends at 7? Full bar.
I love the Bowl they have great music, great sound system(though this night the vocals were very low. I was shocked never happens but after 3 songs they corrected it and I continued to sway and raise my hands in glory).
Another time, I brought my 5 years old nephew to a Sunday kid's jam with FISHBONE!!!!!!!!!!!! that was awesome. I was so happy for him and me. If your kids like music I would encourage the Sunday kid's jam.
I'll be back this week for Nashville Pussy - cant wait. Wish there was like a club for all of us that attend shows here. I am here maybe... 52 weeks in a year ...hmmm.. 20 times a year.
They do have a restaurant haven't tried it yet but I heard the fried chicken is good. There is also bowling. Not sure of the prices, heard they were steep. I'm not a bowler so it doesn't matter to me. But for music come on down. Sets start at 8. Depends on how many bands are playing. Headliner would be about 9/10 again depending if there is or isn't a DJ at 11pm.
There is a water jug for the thrifty of which in this expensive Williamsburg area is plentiful. I am a native Brooklynite and I love that I can walk to my music(only perk for gentrification).
Shout out to Lucas at the Brooklyn Bowl - always helpful with set times and other information. This is Anna from the old RBAR.

Overpriced Drinks
May 2019 • Couples
Great concert venue, but drinks are way overpriced. Nineteen bucks for a vodka and a tap beer?? I think not! Ask the bartender the prices before ordering or they will try to rip you off. Lame

First timer!!

Wow, went here to see The Soul Rebels with special guests Talib Kweli & DMX. I was very impressed with the sound quality and the atmosphere of the crowd. A good mix of old skool with the new skool. The drinks were good, a little spendy. But overall had a great nite out with my colleagues. Enjoy!!

Love the vibes ...
Mar 2019
Visited this place twice in the past 2 months. Loved the vibe!! The live music is great & I had a blast loosing to my friend at bowling! The drinks are pretty good & the food is as well. Won’t give the place 5 stars because of the wait time for bowling as it was 2-3 hours on both occasions ... but hey, you can always hit the crowded bar in the meantime!

Concert lovers dream
Aug 2018 • Friends
I love the intimate space, how close to the artist you were and not an obnoxious crowd of people. Everyone came to boogie and have a great time. Cheap tickets, good bar staff, clean site. All around great experience. Looking to go back when an artist I like is featured!

Deciding whether to drive or take uber from Hicksville. How's the parking for concerts?
Anna
Brooklyn, NY144 contributions
Parking? There's a lot of construction going on around the area that changes the parking zones every few months. I usually park by the HS on Bedford or Berry by N 12th st and walk over. There is a parking lot in the W hotel on N12th. Don't park close to the venue getting out is rough since you are surrounded by party goers from all the hotels and tourists who do NOT know how to cross the streets. Enjoy the show.

Can you book lanes in advance?

Well, I'll take that back. I must have been confused with what happened on past occasions. Take a look at the website. Cannot post the link though due to TA rules.
So, here's the skinny, from the BB site.
