Gutter Bar

Opened by the people behind Barcade, this eight-lane bowling alley in Williamsburg pairs old wood booths and walls of vintage beer memorabilia with a genuine dive-bar feel despite the lanes running through the middle of the room. The taps pour a dozen drafts alongside six large-format bottles, with happy hour pints on weekdays and league nights that fill the lanes on a regular schedule. A back room hosts live bands most weekends, usually Thursday through Saturday, with a modest cover at the door.
