Alexandra PrevidiDecember 31, 2015So 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.Upvoted Feb 25
Concert Ticket AgencyAugust 25, 2012Avoid the long wait out front, use the northeast entrance at the corner of Atlantic Avenue & Fort Greene Place with much shorter lines.Upvoted Mar 2
Kara MasiDecember 30, 2012This 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.
PavlixDecember 24, 2017Terrific super-modern venue, plenty of junk food options at the break and just next to the subway entry. Go Brooklyn!
- Julie SosciaJanuary 13, 2019Arrive 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!
Lauren FordNovember 7, 2017Made my own loaded fries with all the fancy hot dog condiments. Best $6 I've ever spent in a professional sports game setting.
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)
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.
Maria HenkelMarch 28, 2018Very cool, great venue! If you want healthier options on food try the burrito bowl (which can also be made vegetarian or vegan)
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
David SchwartzJanuary 25, 2019Went 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
PaddyJanuary 20, 2016Went 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.
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.
The Most Interesting Man in the WorldJune 17, 2014Reminds 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.

Join the EXP | Explore, Expand, Experience NYC!April 3, 2015You 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
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.- 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!
Great arena. Basketball converts or anything else. Located near tons of public transportation and tons of new food and drink places close by.
Brooklyn NetsOctober 15, 2012Try 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!
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.- Brooklyn NetsOctober 16, 2012Fresco 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.
The Corcoran GroupAugust 1, 2013Catch 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!
danielle mMarch 10, 2014If you're coming from Jersey is easier to drive. Plenty of street parking and a million restaurants/bars on 5th to pregame.
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!
The epicenter of Brooklyn's Sports Life. Barclay's has hosted some of the most amazing events since its opening.
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.
Denise D.April 8, 2019Went to see the NETS play the Raptors. We had amazing seats and the crowd energy is fun and upbeat
Nikki FosterFebruary 1, 2019Love going to events here! Hate the operations for Will Call...could be improved but great venue overall.
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
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
Dawn StarDecember 23, 2013Make 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!
Magnus MchunguziAugust 6, 2013The Centre is New and the hospitality halls are incredible, I wish Jay-Z will invite me back all the way from Africa
Harumi UJanuary 31, 2015Pretty 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...)- Brooklyn NetsOctober 11, 2012The American Express Box Office is located inside the main arena entrance at 620 Atlantic Avenue. For hours of operation, please visit:
Lyn HastingsSeptember 24, 2014I 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.
CompassAugust 12, 2013Headliners 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.
Looks like a really nice arena. Def better than Pru. Center. Hate to see the Nets leave NJ and the fact ownership basically abandoned them the last couple years but Barclays looks like a nice new home
BreyKingSeptember 22, 2012Pre-game @ Little Brother BBQ For the best Smoked Chicken, Pork &Beef Sandwiches in BROOKLYN 544 Clinton Ave. (Corner of Atlantic &Clinton)
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.
Kat MontgomeryDecember 20, 2013Regardless of where you sit you'll be able to see what's happening on stage during a show. However if you sit in the Upper Pavilion, don't do so if afraid of heights.
James GreenAugust 23, 2014Food and drinks are MEGA expensive, even for this kind of venue, but it's fun and there are great shows.
- Great parking @Parkwhiz . Parkwhiz.com @ 180 Ashland place . Book online. Great and efficient service
Was a bit worried about this place being built down the street from my apartment, but so far it's pretty sweet! Love that they showcase local vendors and bringing $$$ into Brooklyn.
Will HarahanMarch 20, 2022Terrific concert venue and friendly staff. Clean bathrooms to boot. I’ll be back.
