I was really eager to go to this restaurant - as a vegetarian, for one, it looked like a clever bar with good music that had good dishes for the vegetarian crowd. I had the knishes and the vegetarian blaster. I asked the waiter if I could have the salad replaces with fries and he said yes. The knishes were ok - if a little bland, but when the vegetarian blaster came out - there was a huge pile of salad next to it. When I reminded the waiter Id asked for fries, he went to check and then blamed the kitchen for the mistake. He went away, then came back to offer me fries. Onto the actual sandwich.. this was two slices of the rubberiest, hardest ciabata bread wrapped around what was, quite literally a thick pile of .. well.. cold, cooked, sliced vegetables that were dripping in some kind of slimy sauce. It was impossible to eat as an actual sandwich, so I disassembled it and started eating layers off it and each one was kind of worse than the one before it. Clearly, this was a sandwich invented by someone who truly despises vegetables (or vegetarians)... Then the fries finally made an appearance and they were thin julienne cut fries which were ok - but clumsy to eat. In the end, I gave up and left more than half of my meal at the table. To compound things - the DJ was playing kind of generic rappish music VERY loudly and the constant thumping left me with a bad headache. It also made it impossible to have a conversation with my friend across the table. The restaurant was mostly empty and they seemed to be going for a brooklyn hangout look which ended up mostly just being uncomfortable and unenjoyable. Its a pity because I was really excited about going to this restaurant. Id set it out as one of my must see stops on this trip. I should have gone to the Yard House across the street.

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 its just you and the band in the room. If you dont 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 thats somewhat sectioned off from the stage area. The reason its 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 Im wrong. All in all, I cannot wait to revisit Brooklyn Bowl off the clock. Its a surprisingly intimate and amazing musical treasure that I never expected to find so close to the busy Las Vegas Boulevard strip.

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.

New place opened in the Linq next to Flamingo. I loved the look of the outside with the big Marquee letters. Super sleek looking bowling/concert hall .. if that was a thing. Hey, if its only in Vegas they come up with stuff like this. But it worked!! They have bowing and live music.. and from the looks of it, some pretty big bands play there (I remember seeing that Disclosure will play there sometime in August). I was doing research on Yelp before heading to Vegas and this place kept showing up for fried chicken.... after seeing the midnight deal for $9.99 for a fried chicken sandwich, I HAD to come in. The place is huge! You head upstairs and there are a ton of tables, a huge stage for musicians, and a few bowling alleys. What the what? Me and the mans just wanted the $9.99 fried chicken so we shared - and they didnt make us feel like cheapos at all. Portion is huge and comes with lots of fries. Totally worth it and will hit your drunkie spot. The chicken was juicy and crunchy.. super savory. We devoured it quick! Looking at the menu, the prices are pretty fair so Id return for normal-non-deal hours.

Worst place Ive been to in Vegas. Walked in with a Gatorade bottle in my back pocket - on a Sunday night. Some "bouncer" tells me I cant come in with it. And not even in a conversational or respectful manner - I just walked in and he yells out as Im waking halfway up the stairs something to the effect of, "Dude with the bottle in your pocket, you cant come in here with that." Was gonna spend a few hours bowling there. Will never spend a dime there now. People walk around Vegas with huge-ass alcoholic drinks - including into casinos etc - everywhere, much less with a Gatorade. Guess Ill just go back to MGM Grand - where Ive been staying for over a week - and gamble. No one there - or anywhere else - has said one word to me about a $2.50 Gatorade. And given that Ill be in Vegas a few months would probably have come back multiple times to bowl. Yes, I made a Google + account just to post this rating. If you dont want to be disrespected by some douche "bouncer" go elsewhere.

Venue is nice and sound it great, but the security staff inside are very unprofessional and hostile compared to other Vegas night spots. Was a designated driver and sober for the flume concert and had a middle aged bald-headed security guard at the entrance to the bowling lane side single me out for no apparent reason than being within a 15 ft. vicinity of him. I understand security can get upset at intoxicated attendees not obeying orders but this guy had some personal anger issues and it made the whole venue look unprofessional in my eyes, even other attendees were commenting on his abrasive behavior. Other than that the hospitality staff was nice and gracious. Human Resources might want to take some tips from the other night spots around Vegas and hire security that can actually deal with stressful situations in a calm and professional manor.
