Get buzzed, buffed and laid

Bowling at the Gutter Bar
From the people who brought you Barcade, the Gutter Bar (thegutterbrooklyn.com) is the perfect place to let off steam and burn a few calories. Believe it or not, bowling works your abs, back and glutes, as well as your arm(s). With only eight lanes, you may have to do some carb-loading at the bar before you get a chance to play. But with 12 microbrews on tap, you might forget you came to bowl in the first place. Games cost $6 before 8pm, $8 per game after, and to rent those snazzy shoes you’ll have to lay out $2.
