I've had the wonderful opportunity to visit Brooklyn Bowl not once, but twice in one week and let me tell you, I couldn't WAIT to write this review. Instead of writing a review the first time, I waited for two visits, so I could write a really well balanced review. I thought the first time was too good to be true. Man, I'm glad I waited...\n\nFINALLY, a REALLY great space on the strip. As a local, I try to stay away from the strip as it's too congested and inconvenient for the everyday life. This place, will absolutely bring me back time and time again. When you approach \"The BB,\" you'll notice a very aesthetically pleasing olden day-type cinema sign. From the outside, it doesn't look that big, but don't let that fool you! Once you enter, you'll make your way up the escalators. To the right is a little bar, high top table seating area. This area is full of large windows which offers great views of the Linq. To the left of the concierge desk are the restrooms and a couple of ATM machines. Pass the desk and there's either an outdoor space with table tops and a smoking section to the right, and a lovely restaurant with another bar! Then, the good stuff: Passed all that, is a HUGE concert venue area and 16 lanes of bowling. WOW! Don't worry, there's a few more bars to keep you liquored up all night long. If that's not enough, make your way to top VIP area where there's lots of balcony space for the concert, sofas for seating and 16 more lanes to bowl on! In the VIP area, there's also a bar, an outside roof deck and even a very eclectic living room which offers comfortable couches, big screen tvs, quirky signs and lights, all encompassed with a quieter atmosphere. SOOO AWESOME!!! \n\nBrooklyn Bowl is full of amazing features. All around, there's leather couches, palm trees, artsy signs, vines covering the walls and lots of exposed brick. Shows lots of character. The staff is also on point! They are nice, attentive and EVERYWHERE. All I have to say is the staffing department did an amazing job! (There's your shout out, Java!) In all seriousness, one of my former coworker left our company to work at this place and I'm glad she did. I'm absolutely amazed! On my first visit, our server was Michael, who goes by Micah. He was AH-MAZE-ING. So accommodating, so nice and personable, so awesome. I firmly believe the overall experience comes from the tone a server sets and The BB is filled with positive servers and bartenders. \n\nI'm not going to lie, the drinks aren't cheap. I payed about $12 for my Ketel One vodka and soda water. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? You're on the strip. If you're going to come here, make sure you can afford it. If not, I think Southpoint has bowling and dollar drinks LOL. I don't mind it at all, because I don't do this very often. On both visits, I also had the awesome opportunity to try their food for free. Here's what I had and here's what I thought:\n\nBBQ pork sliders with cole slaw: The pork was tender and flavorful. The cole slaw added a crunchy texture and sweet taste. The bun was good, maybe too thick, but didn't hurt the experience.\n\nThe San Gennaro Pizza: VERY GOOD pizza. It's filled with sausage, mozzarella and pepper. This pizza is packed with sausage! Lots of toppings offered NO complaints LOL. \n\nChicken wings: THE BEST THING THEY HAVE, BY FAR! The batter was crispy and crunchy and light. It was so flavorful with spices and not overpowering. It was served with honey which is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. It really just takes the wings to the next level. So delicious.\n\nRolling Stone really hit home when they said Brooklyn Bowl is \"one of the most incredible places on earth.\" I really believe that on a Las Vegas strip perspective. Who would have thought a venue that offers bowling and live music in one place would be such a hit! This is exactly what Vegas needed. Opening up with one of the coolest bands, The Roots, was a great move on their part. Listen, if you're in the area, turn north on Koval and make a turn into Winnick street. You need to park your car and walk to Brooklyn Bowl. This place will blow you away. Trust me, it's simply AH-MAZE-ING!
