It would’ve been nice for the website to update that it’s closed, for those who haven’t been in a while or haven’t been before.

DOESNTEXISTANYMORE. Bought a groupon which was going to expire at the end of the month so last night we are running around trying to find this place only to discover it closed down! How did we find out? Not by a sign or announcement on the website. Not by calling as there was so number to call… but by googling and searching the web and discovering an article that said their building has been taking over by abother company who could pay more rent. Thanks, BK Bazaar for nada. At the very least, put up a notice on your website.

I’m a big fan of this place — great when you want to go out, but not sure what you want to do. The games are fun, the food is good, the bar staff our nice — and you can get a tarot reading and tattoo. Also, $ 8 for a beer and shot! Sarah Gaugler for Snow Tattoo is such a sweetie and super talented.

This is totally hipster Brooklyn. Indie music, tasty food made by young people who want to bring you fresh, organic food that is inspired by their ethnic past, but infused with multicultural trendiness, and rows of local craftspeople and artisans selling their wares. If you hate this sort of scene, it’s not for you. If you’re like me and bit of a poseur or an authentic indie hipster or what have you, you’ll love it. If you’re old and stodgy(even in spirit like my fiancé), you’ll hate it.

The Brooklyn Night Bazaar was not the awesome amalgamation of fun that Unilocal had me expect. Yes, there were stands set up where people were selling their wares. Yes, there were food stands. Yes, there was mini golf, arcade games, and ping pong. Yes, there was a person giving haircuts, and a person giving tattoos. But I was promised a «HUUUUGGGEEE» venue for a neverending night of fun. 80% of the stands were selling jewelry, the food stands were overpriced and not very good, and I didn’t really feel like playing ping pong or mini golf. All in all, it took my friends and I 10 minutes to be over it. I was expecting a lot more variety from a place that considers itself the hipster mecca of the east coast. The only redeeming factor of the Brooklyn Night Bazaar was the live music. If not for the music, the Brooklyn Night Bazaar would have received a one star rating. However, five bands played this past Saturday, including two pretty popular and really talented bands(Tiny Moving Parts and Into It. Over It.). It is awesome that they were able to put on a show with these bands and offer it for free to the public. The concert gets a 5 star review. The rest of the Bazaar gets one.

Our group had a blast at the night bazaar! What a cool event. We got the Groupon for 2 people, which included 2 drinks, 5 food tickets, and 2 game tickets. I enjoyed the food vendors a lot — the taco truck was quite delicious and the donut truck was out of this world good. YUM. The music was OK — nothing to write home about, but I always appreciate local live music. We ended the night playing mini-golf in the dark! Small little course near the food court. Some of the course was a little janky, but who cares if you’re havin’ a good time? All in all, a fun time. Definitely want to start coming to this more often!

Came here on a Friday night to use a livingsocial deal I bought. Entry for 2, 2 drink tickets, 5 food tickets, and a game of mini gold or ping pong. It was nice doing the food tasting and trying multiple vendors – was full after sharing food using the 5 meal tickets. We opted for the mini-golf, which was pretty fun! They have a bunch of cardboard cutouts at each course which made it entertaining and provided plenty of photo ops. The jewelry and clothing vendors were plentiful. The prices were not bad and cheaper compared to vendors at other fairs in the city. Was a fun experience and would recommend coming here, but wouldn’t go out of my way to visit again.

After a long week of work and school, my significant other and I decided to head to Brooklyn Night Bazaar to use the LivingSocial deal that he had purchased(which guaranteed expedited entry, 2 drink tickets which could be used for beer or wine, 5 meal tickets and 1 ticket for either ping pong or black light mini golf. The Brooklyn Night Bazaar is tucked away in an area filled with industrial warehouses and creative graffiti lining the streets. It was easy to find by a small little sign and some people queuing up. When we approached, there was hardly a wait to get in so we didn’t need the expedited entry portion of the LivingSocial deal. It was pretty empty for the time we arrived(around 8:30PM). We used the food tickets at various stalls(some dishes require 2 or more tickets). There were only 6 food vendors when we went. The food was pretty good, reminiscent of a smaller indoor version of Smorgasburg. The vendors were cute to look at. One of them was an onsite tattoo artist. The black light mini golf looked underwhelming so we decided on ping pong in an aesthetically pleasing room covered wall to wall in colorful graffiti. There was a band playing but the music was not my taste. Others seemed to be enjoying themselves though. Bring cash. All in all, its a great place to waste an hour or two, tops, if you have nothing better to do.

This was back in 2014… Upon entering the Brooklyn Night Bazaar, you’re hit with an array of lights, color, hip and cool clothes, jewelry and other merchandise. We headed in toward the back where we were met with a barrage of food vendors, such as The Morris Truck(grilled cheese), The Lobster Joint, Oaxaca Taqueria, and Arancini Bros(rice balls). The first thing I had to try was the only $ 5 lobster slider from The Lobster Joint and it was delicious. I’m usually not a huge fan of lobster rolls because I dislike cold lobster, but this slider was not super chilled. The lobster was fresh and tasted full of flavor, with the perfect amount of mayo and accompanying coleslaw. I also had to get myself a bubble tea drink from Tea n’ Milk. I chose the iced Chai House Special with tapioca pearls. The tea was brewed fresh and tasted wonderful. I enjoyed it with the thick, sweet condensed milk and the sprinkling of cinnamon. Then I got to try some mac and cheese with truffle that was pan fried and then breaded & fried on top of that! This was a heaping dish of pure yummyness, along with the sauce they added to it. It was perfectly crispy, juicy, cheesy and completely fattening and indulgent. I couldn’t resist trying the lamb bun after seeing the lamb roasting slowly in front of my eyes. It came with sweet dark brown sauce, pomegranate seeds, parsley. It unfortunately did not taste as wonderfully as I had expected and ended up liking the pork bun quite a bit more. I was able to taste a few other items: Thin crust sausage pizza(tasty), risotto rice ball(decent), truffle grilled cheese sandwich(divine), and much later, some ice cream. I chose two flavors: Vanilla caramel and tres leches. Both turned out to be delightful, smooth, sweet, rich and complimented one another. The tres leches even had pieces of tres leches cake swirled in, which took it to the next level of deliciousness. I spent some time checking out the vendors, which were all wonderful and unique in their own way. Some of my favorites were BlissfulCASE(pale pink glitter for your cell phone, anyone?), Milly & Earl(nautical-themed and other gorgeously designed jewelry), Strumpet(sassy retro-style apparel) and more. Besides all the food and shopping, there was an area for live performances. Several different bands performed throughout the evening, adding an awesome element to the whole experience. Also, there’s a section for mini golf, complete with neon lights, disco balls, a huge cut out of Glinda the Good Witch, a zebra, and more! There’s even table tennis! The Brooklyn Night Bazaar is something new, creative, full of life with trendy vendors, art, food, music and more! It’s great to go with a group of friends or just your bestie and can be an adventure that doesn’t break the bank, as it is easy to share the small bites, mini golf is only $ 5 and you’re able to choose how much you spend. Well worth the trip!

Ah what can I say Brooklyn Night Bazaar is quite funky and just a bit hip. Call it a indoor flea market, arcade, and bar with live music. This place can entertain for about an hour. The vendors inside sell some interesting items including soaps, jewelry, accessories, and small gifts. Also, there is glow in the dark mini-golf, ping pong, and a personal drive in theater. Finally, there are a lot of food vendors that I didn’t try, but items looked yummy. Beer is reasonable, mixed drinks are steep, and everything is cash only. The live music area can accommodate quite the large group and people really aren’t pushy here.

If you hate hipsters, I would recommend you avoid this place. That being said, it is a fun thing to do as a double date on a Friday. Beer is between $ 5-$ 6, they have Six Point, Bud, Bud Light, Dale’s Pale Ale, Old Chub, Naragansette etc. Decent selection. Sort of a full bar, no gin? Whatevs. Cash only bring cash. Some arcade games, .50-$ 1. Played skee ball and Street Fighter. Fun. Mini golf is small, and some people take it way too seriously(it’s black light mini golf, chill). $ 5 pp I think is reasonable. The vendors are mostly handmade jewelery, ranging from the nice to the truly bizarre(wearable plants? Really? How much does this booth cost?). I did get some cute cufflinks(Frenchies! $ 35) and two knit hats($ 5 each). I ate at the taco truck(Oxaca), two tacos $ 7, I had the ceviche(yum) and the Korean(I’ve had better bulgogi). The first band was good, the second band eh. It’s a crap shoot right? There’s ample parking by Automotive High School which is about 2 blocks away.

Hiiiiiiiipppppssssttterrrr central! I heard about this place online from a meetup group that I am a part of. I thought I’d be a good idea to go since my mantra for this year is work hard, play hard. Boy was I in for an experience! It was a pretty cool vibe and the food was really good(like artisanal gluten free, granola crunchy good if you know what I mean… lol). With my taste pass, I got food at 5 different places I’m addition to a cup of wine. Overall I had a great experience. The only reason why I gave this place 4 stars is because yesterday was one of the coldest days of the season and the event planners had the audacity to have us waiting outside in the cold for 20 minutes! Not cool, hipsters. Not cool.

What a unique place! The Brooklyn Night Bazaar is essentially an Adult fair. There’s trendy food vendors, bars, flea market stalls, old school arcade games, ping-pong and mini-golf. Oh and they also have live music which can be hit or miss. The night I was there — the band was pretty dreadful. There’s something here for everyone. The atmosphere is pretty cool and I really liked their mood lighting. One major sticking point for me is the prices. I understand that real estate in New York is expensive, but the Bazaar is located in no man’s land between Williamsburg and Green Point. I’m guessing they got a bargain when they rented this industrial space. But I don’t really know anything about NY real estate, so maybe I’m way off base. I tried to enjoy myself there, but kept feeling like everything was way overpriced. For example it’s hard to get a full meal there unless you spend around $ 15. That strikes me as a little high for ‘food carts.’ But it also could’ve been my luck of the draw — the food vendors change so be sure to check before you visit. Also the arcades were $ 1 per play for games like House of the Dead which is from the mid-90s. 50 cents is a more fair price in my opinion. This place is not too large, so don’t expect to spend more than 2 hours here. I’d give this place a shot if you want to enjoy a unique fun night with some friends. There’s not many places like this in NYC.

After coming across an offer I wanted to give this place a try since going by the reviews it sounded pretty cool. I did not purchase the deal but did end up stopping by since I was invited by a friend. No admission, big open space as u walk in u have plenty to choose from they offer mini golf, a beer garden, small arcade, bar stands & a few food stands. Drinks we tried the Frozen Margaritas, ahh can’t even say they were ok waste of money at $ 8 dollars a cup they didn’t have much of a taste & of course lacked alcohol. Food first We tried the Risotto Balls the Inspector Montalbano was delicious, great taste with the meat & overall. The Nella Nutella was ok, way too sweet. Next we tried the Saltemas at the Bolivian Llama Party station, these are Bolivian empanadas the Chicken was very good & so was the Beef great tasting but way overpriced at $ 6 dollars each. Although cash Seems like the way to go here, I did notice some vendors had credit card payments available. Open space in the middle offers a seating area plus a stage for live entertainment the band playing wasn’t bad. I’d have to say I don’t understand the rave reviews for this place? vendors selling a bunch of hand made stuff which unless u are into it’s just not that interesting, bad drinks & over priced food make up the rest of this space. If u are In the area & want to kill an hour sure why not stop by but Don’t expect much since everything is pretty limited I wouldn’t go out of my way again to come here this place was disappointing.

«What madness is this?!?» was the mentality coursing through the old brain pan upon my 11:00 arrival in this house of mayhem. The title of this place leaves nothing to the imagination, as the Brooklyn Night Bazaar is 1) a bazaar; 2) that’s open at night; 3) that’s located in Williamsburg/Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Bazaar is probably the most amorphous and versatile word in the actual title. Originally meaning a «Middle Eastern marketplace… dedicated to the sale of miscellaneous goods», it’s clear that this place does sell a collection of trinkets and food/booze courtesy of the various vendors with stands on site(albeit not in a Middle Eastern location). It’s so much more than just a marketplace however, going deep into the depth charts by providing a stage for live musical performances, a «dance floor», video game arcade, mini miniature golf course, billiard(pool…) tables, and ping-pong. While the bazaar may be master of nothing in relation to the particular goods and services it provides, they do say that variety is the spice of life, and as a jack of all trades the Brooklyn Night Bazaar does a pretty baller job. I attended with the Urban Daddy deal I got($ 38 for expedited entry, two drinks of either wine or beer, five tickets for relatively large«samples» of food from the various stands, and two games of either ping pong or miniature golf). Splitting the deal with a buddy of mine($ 19 each) made for a very eclectic night. I pretty much channeled my inner bazaar and treated myself to the assortment of goods(booze and food… the churro pretzel was the clear highlight) and activities(concert watching, ping pong playing, and video game spectating). This may not be the type of place to visit every night(or week) that they’re open, but if you’re in the mood to add a little variety to your repetitive Friday/Saturday routine of drink/rave/pass out, then this place is a refreshing alternative.

I bought a Living Social deal for Brooklyn Night Bazaar because it sounded like a lot of variety in one place! Pleasantly surprised by how they transformed this warehouse into a live music venue and play lounge for young adults. Here, you will find: arcade games, mini golf, ping pong, air hockey, photobooths, food vendors, art vendors, and more! They even have a small«beer garden» next to the bar space. This is definitely the place to be if you’re looking to do something different and go somewhere unique. The atmosphere looks industrial, but feels soft because their lighting is perfection. The crowd was mostly between their mid twenties and early thirties, hip and fashionable. Was not expecting so many people to come out last Friday night, but it made the experience even better! The band was decent, but not the highlight of the night — they played some ambient rock that reminded me of slow-dancing at an 80’s high school prom. The food options we sampled were the burgers, tacos, and pretzels. Zero complaints, as they were all delicious! The bar was slightly overpriced, but that was to be expected. $ 8 for a shot? Not worth, but the $ 11 vodka redbull is. The bartender literally filled up my entire plastic cup with vodka and gave me a can of redbull on the side.

5 stars for doing as much as humanly possible to make one place suitable for everyone. You can drink or not, eat if you’re hungry or in the mood to try something new. Maybe neither and just play arcades and ping pong for a while. Shit, you can get a tattoo and buy organic hand made soap to clean it with! This place really tried to cater to everyone. Forgot to mention live music, mini golf, and port o potties. Totally worth checking out despite the dreadfulness that is Williamsburg/Greenpoint.

Come here to enjoy some free live music but besides that, the rest of the place is enjoyable for half an hour tops. There are arcades, pool tables for $ 2, mini golf for $ 5, beer and food vendors. I was really excited to come for the food but I was not impressed with this weekend’s food. Tried a meatball sandwich from sunday gravy(not even warm), a matcha brownie ring(nothing special), ice cream from waterhouse(smallest scoop I’ve ever seen in my life for $ 4), and cheeseburger from bare burger(patty was mushy and pretty rare). Beers range from $ 5 up. There were no vendors that sold goods the night I went. There are lots of seats and can get hot inside! Beware– bathrooms are port-a-potties!

From the looks of it you would think«another Smorgasburg type of ish?» So what does it have that’s different from Smorgasburg? Limited food vendors, small selection of vendors selling trinkets and what-nots, a bar, entertainment and activities. BK night bazaar is located in a warehouse so be prepared to sweat it out specially in the summer months. We came her after searching for something to do on a Saturday night. Saw a deal on YPlan. For $ 25, you get express entrance(it supposedly gets packed later in the night and line gets long), 5 food tickets to use at any of the food vendors and 1 drink ticket to use at the bar. 5 food tickets are good enough to get you one taco at Oaxaca, beer battered fish taco at Coney Shack, half a bowl of Bibimbap at Koso Fresh, sample size of pasta Bolognese at Sunday Gravy and a Rojio sandwich at Tapas Street. It was a lot of food for one. Oh and a can of Stella from the bar. $ 25 was definitely worth it and actually is good enough to share. Most of the activities were $ 5 each. We did their mini golf. It was fun beating those two gentlemen haha. Oh and no, they didn’t «let» me win. I won. Lol Later in the evening, a band were supposed to play. We didn’t get to stay for that but I’m sure that’s also a big hit. Will definitely go back if in need of another weekend night idea.
