Let the SS be the first to tell you that Brooklyn Bowl is one of the most incredible places on Earth!
Not only is it a 16-lane bowling alley, but the 23,000 square foot venue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, also features a massive stage, with a state-of-the-art sound system, and room for 600 fans! (Looking at the photo above, the performance area would be just to the left of those plush couches.)
Our buddy Pete Shapiro -- one of the owners of Brooklyn Bowl, who used to run the Wetlands, the epicenter for jam bands in NYC -- recently invited the SS and twenty of our friends out to roadtest Brooklyn Bowl. While throwing rocks, Pete turned down the lights, cued up the Last Waltz on those TV screens at the end of the lanes, cranked the volume to 11, and tapped a fresh keg from the Brooklyn Brewery, which is next door. What ensued was a surreal rock & bowl experience!
The alley will open pretty soon, and while the only thing booked now is a Lebowski Fest in September, expect a slew of your favorite acts to pass through the doors.
Trust us, it's gonna be sick!

Bowling and rock music goes together like baloney and maple syrup.

i agree with Anonymous.
I bet when all the serious writers for Rolling Stone saw Jonas Brothers on the cover of their magazine they all shed a tear inside.
MMJ, Radiohead, the list goes on. They all deserve the RS cover way more than those losers.

lebowski fest.
the real question is why are the jonas bros on the cover?
rollingstone is just a tween tabloid.
i feel bad for the journalists assigned to these stories.
Someone put MMJ on the cover or the black keys!
