“I am forever grateful to owners Peter Shapiro and Charley Ryan for giving me a musical platform in which to be creative and put a positive spin on everyone’s visit,” said DJ Uncle Mike in a statement. “During my long-running tenure here, I have had so many pleasant musical conversations with so many of the wonderful Brooklyn Bowl Brooklyn clientele and the amazingly enthusiastic staff. I feel blessed to have had all the fun and great experiences here, plus 12 years of being fed world-class food from the Bromberg brother’s Blue Ribbon kitchen here has been quite the bonus.”
