What people are saying? (Google Reviews Summary)

The Gutter is where Brooklyn’s dive bar dreams meet retro bowling vibes, with a side of live tunes and a sprinkle of chaos.

This spot's all about vibes. Grab a drink from Eric and the gang, who are basically Brooklyn’s friendliest bartenders, and settle in for a night where the drinks might be overpriced, but the music’s free. It's like a secret concert with a side of alley grit.

Bowling lanes are tiny, but that's just part of the charm. Be ready for wait times that stretch longer than a Brooklyn brunch but bring a deck of cards, and you’re golden. It's not the most polished, but it's got character. 

The crowd can get as packed as a sardine tin during events like "Gutterween," so brace your elbows for some serious navigating. But if you're down for a couple's night that’s a little offbeat, this might just be your jam. Just don’t hold high hopes for a game of pool—it's more of an obstacle than entertainment.
