History and design

Originally an ironworks-foundry building in the 1880s, Brooklyn Bowl was opened by Peter Shapiro on July 7, 2009. It took over two years to construct and cost millions. Upon opening, it became the first bowling alley in the country, and possibly the world, to be LEED certified, with its pinspotter machines using 75% less energy than typical pinspotters.

The concert stage floor was built using recycled truck tires, and is lit entirely by LEDs. Much of the rest of the establishment was constructed using recycled materials, including glass reclaimed from the Brooklyn Navy Yard and custody-controlled wooden floor boards reclaimed from the original ironworks building in which it now stands.

In 2010 former President Bill Clinton held a benefit at Brooklyn Bowl for the Clinton Foundation Millennium Network.

Brooklyn Bowl has opened a location in London and another in Las Vegas (2014). The London outlet closed in January 2017 'until further notice' to facilitate building work at the O2 Arena, but it is hoped that the venue will return following the completion of the work in 2018.

In February 2016, Bill Clinton returned to Brooklyn Bowl to hold a fundraiser for his wife Hillary Clinton for the 2016 Presidency.

Brooklyn Bowl has over two thousand square feet of floor space that includes a sixteen-lane bowling alley, operating alongside the music floor. The 600 capacity music hall has hosted numerous notable acts, including Guns N' Roses, Elvis Costello, The Roots and RJD2.

The bars serve only draught beers brewed within Brooklyn, and in 2010 it was reported the establishment was the biggest seller of Brooklyn-based beer.

The venue also offers a restaurant run by the popular city-wide chain, Blue Ribbon, which seats 250 people.
