SUNSET PARK | WILLIAMSBURGMelody Lanes
Little details can distinguish one house of strikes from the next, and Melody Lanes has them in spades: the surly yet charming desk attendant, the obnoxiously colorful paint job, and the mélange of hipsters, rowdy teens and Orthodox Jews who mingle while looking for a choice ball. Come here to escape the prices and pretentious airs of Manhattan and trendy faux-dive alleys; the barrage of urban pop (courtesy of whoever’s controlling the juke), silly animations on the scoreboards and a bar that looks like it was plucked from JFK are all real-deal. Bartender Peter Napolitano, who dresses like a ventriloquist-cum-lounge-singer, has been making bowlers throw gutter balls for years, thanks to his liberal pouring of spirits. 461 37th St between Fourth and Fifth Aves (718-499-3848)

I can't believe that under Feature / Winter 2008 bar guide / Brooklyn Bars that Red Hook is not listed. How can you leave out Sunny's bar on Conover Street, and the new establishment of Botanica right up from Sunny's and Annabelle's across from Ikea with weekly jazz and r&b live performances. Moonshine at the enterance to the battery tunnel and Jalopy - the best music venue ever! Or have you listed it elsewhere - where?
