As local venues continue to navigate the challenges of gathering people and organizing events in the pandemic-ridden 2020s, good news is sprouting up.
Brooklyn Bowl (61 Wythe Ave.), the bowling alley, bar and concert venue, is officially reopening on Wednesday, September 8! The eatery, bowling lanes and stage will be open to the public, with tickets events slated throughout the fall, with additional live events being added for the spring 2022 season. Tickets start at $10 for many events.
Visitors must provide proof of vaccination for entry and all guests are encouraged to also wear masks. All Brooklyn Bowl staff are fully vaccinated and must wear masks while working inside the venue.
