Throughout the country bowling and beer go together like peanut butter and something less cliché than jelly.  However, until 2007 there was not a single bowling alley in all of Brooklyn.  Of course, there was no way the owner of Barcade was going to allow that gap to remain.  Placed in the ever-expanding bar and restaurant district of Williamsburg, The Gutter takes the formula to a whole new level.  The main area features nostalic hanging stained-glass lights, beer signs and a slick red pool table.  Eight bowling lanes are separated from the bar by large glass windows.  And, in contrast to your average bowling alley, the beers on tap are all quality American micros.  Note, if The Gutter is a part of a crawl The Beerlord recommends this as the first stop.  After all, when mixing beer with the rolling of 12-pound balls it’s best you’ve only had a few.
