So impressed by how clean it was! Great facility for taking in a basketball game. Good food and drink options, and tough to beat the proximity to the subway.
Jay-Z must be feeding them something real good, because I don't remember the last time I experienced such superb customer service. True Brooklyn hospitality all-around. Just a top-notch arena period.
Avoid the long wait out front, use the northeast entrance at the corner of Atlantic Avenue & Fort Greene Place with much shorter lines .
This place has got to be one of the happiest places in NYC. Every time I'm here all the staff are so smiley, incredibly friendly , helpful, happy, and often dancing . It's so odd... and refreshing!
Pro tip: If you leave in the third quarter of the Nets getting blown out, you can go across the street to Shake Shack and beat the line to get your cheese fries .
Terrific super-modern venue, plenty of junk food options at the break and just next to the subway entry. Go Brooklyn!
Arrive early and try to take public transportation , parking is tough in the area. Not a bad seat in the house. Enjoy a Nets or Islanders game - Barclays also hosts great concerts !
If you have TSA Pre-check, skip the long lines by going to a special entrance on the side of the stadium (in the Atlantic Terminal side)
Made my own loaded fries with all the fancy hot dog condiments. Best $6 I've ever spent in a professional sports game setting.
Home of BK Nets. House Jay-Z built. Free Wi-Fi, no password. Do not sit in Level 200's; vertigo inducing, no leg room, hold on to hand rail during descent. Otherwise, GREAT venue. Buy level 1-26.
Do whatever you can to get seats in the lower bowl. Excellent sightlines. Upper bowl is steep and distant.
Very cool, great venue! If you want healthier options on food try the burrito bowl (which can also be made vegetarian or vegan )
Went for an Islanders game. Beautiful arena. We had great seats and the atmosphere was great. Plenty of concession stands so lines aren't huge. Expect expensive stadium prices for food/drink.
Here to see Jay-Z? Throw your diamond in the sky. Here for a Nets game ? Might as well throw your diamond in the sky. Here for Barbra Streisand? Fuck it, throw your diamond in the sky
This is the home of Brooklyn Nets . Find Brooklyn Nets on Foursquare https://foursquare.com/brooklynnets
Went for a Nets game . Nice arena, good drink/food vendors. They work hard to build fan excitement, they try a bit too hard. Hype Team gets annoying. Great venue for visitors #goCeltics
If you're looking to make it a great evening out, hit up Bogota Latin Bistro just blocks away 5th Avenue for really great food and drinks.
You can never have too many good burger spots in a city — no matter how big. 67 Burger is another one for your list. Your next burger is literally down the block from Barclay’s Center. Read more
Reminds me of a cantina I frequent. Sitting at a bar made out of clay might at first seem incredibly impractical, until you realize you never need a coaster and the barstools conform to your butt.
Catch a game at the home of the Brooklyn Nets or see your favorite performer in concert . Food selection is top notch - we love to get the brisket sandwich from Fatty Cue BBQ !
Barclays is built for live music . Incredible sound with perfect sight lines in the 200-level corners, which sit lower than those directly facing the stage. Just doesn't compare to MSG for NBA or NHL.
Calvin Klein sponsors the floor seats. Nets floor seat season ticket holders treated like God. Great buffet , free bottled water service & a killer view of the court.
Since it's newer than MSG, it's a whole lot nicer. For concerts , it certainly sounds better. It looks great inside and out, and it's conveniently located within reach of many shops & restaurants .
Great arena. Basketball converts or anything else. Located near tons of public transportation and tons of new food and drink places close by.
Cell service is terrible in the stadium but their awesome wifi (no log-in req'd) is a nice surprise. You can talk to all your virtual friends and ignore whoever you paid $$ to see!
Try the Brooklyn Brisket Banger on a tasty pretzel roll from Brooklyn Bangers and Dogs (Main Concourse/Upper Pavilion). Served with hand crafted mustardy relish and sausages , it really hits the spot!
ArtBridge presents a group exhibit surrounding the construction site at Barclays Center, showcasing Brooklyn-based photographers ’ unique perspective of New York City ’s changing landscape. Read more
The epicenter of Brooklyn's Sports Life. Barclay's has hosted some of the most amazing events since its opening.
Fresco by Scotto (Main Concourse) keeps their Sunday Meatball Slider on the menu all week. Tuscan Chicken , shaved Pecorino , mom's gravy , and a brioche bun — it goes down easy, like Sunday morning.
If you're coming from Jersey is easier to drive. Plenty of street parking and a million restaurants/bars on 5th to pregame.
Make sure to bring your "secret flask" in your pocket filled with STOLI or DEWARS.....because I just paid $30 for one VoDKA DRINK! Yikes.....! OR get your buzz on before U GET HERE!
There are a lot of dining options at the Barclays Center. Here are our 5 favorites: L&B Spumoni Gardens , Calexico, Brooklyn Bangers & Dogs, Habana Outpost, and Fatty Cue BBQ . Read more
Gorgeous new stadium for the Brooklyn Nets and special events featuring delicious local fare from your favorite Brooklyn restaurants . Try the Mojo Chicken at Habana!
My first basketball arena and it was a great experience: clean venue; technologically-current design; drink prices through the roof as expected. The Calvin Klein box suites have a great view .

Apart from a Brooklyn Nets game (completely mandatory), you've got to catch at least one concert here if you ever make it to NYC. Saw DMB here this time last year; one of the best shows EVER.
Hot dogs w/ as much sauerkraut as you want.. The seats at the top have super narrow rows. I don't recommend going up there intoxicated and with your hands full
Went to see the NETS play the Raptors. We had amazing seats and the crowd energy is fun and upbeat
I love this venue for the sheer convenience to Atlantic Terminal. I might have to switch my allegiance to The Nets :-) Seeing The Black Keys tonight. Stellar.
The comfort and beauty of the arena soothes the image of Barclays Center after you experience the extreme delay to enter and the extreme delay and laziness of the food staff . NBA here is good Aft.all
Headliners from Beyonce to Bette Middler to the Backstreet Boys keep the Brooklyn Nets ’ home court busy between games, with on-site outposts of trendy eateries like Fatty 'Cue BBQ and The 40/40 club.
Whether you're going to a Nets game or a concert , Barclays Center is not to be missed. Beautiful arena — even when you're in the nose bleeds!
Terrific concert venue and friendly staff . Clean bathrooms to boot. I’ll be back.

Love it here! Admission is usually very fast and effective. Go nets!
Great venue for stadium events of all kinds. The bleacher seats aren't worth it. Definitely best to pay a little more to get better seats.
Pretty well developed arena. Services are slightly slow but people are kinder and friendlier. Concessions include some nice local options. Very easy to get to (compared with their predecessors...)
Easy to get to from Manhattan using the subway, nicely renovated, and tickets to events are much cheaper than other venues in the area!
Such an awesome venue, so many cool and unique aspects to the arena!!! All the fun facts posted about Brooklyn's sports past is awesome
Love going to events here! Hate the operations for Will Call...could be improved but great venue overall.
Great food selection, porter house is excellent - Chris L
If you're a fan of the Brooklyn Nets this is the place to get your gear -- shirts, hats, giant fingers, they have it all! - Stevan Milesevic

Take my daughter there for track and field (PPYRC). A great place for her too expel that extra energy. A little bit over crowded at times. But overall she has a great time. Clean/great staff. - Lou Frankie
Really great service despite being constantly packed. Burger or fried chicken sandwich, can't go wrong. - Ashley Alvarez
Go early during the week, it's clean organized and there are plenty of SA to help and regs! - Eugenie Harrison
