Even though I live in the city, it felt great to get out and enjoy the nice weather for once…read moreinstead of hiding indoors like some true New Yorkers. My friend was in town and told me about a DJ playing at a roller skating rink, and suddenly I was transported back to the era when roller rinks ruled the City. So we went, both of us pretending we were twenty years younger. When I got off the train in Bushwick, the neighborhood hit me with all the color, murals, and creative energy like it was trying to convince me to move there immediately. It was semi-loud, bright, artistic, and basically screamed welcome to Brooklyn. At the rink, I filled out the waiver on my phone, showed it to the staff, and rented skates for seven dollars. Considering I had not roller skated in many years, I probably should have signed a second waiver promising not to sue if I fell dramatically. But once I put those skates on, the nostalgia kicked in. Back in the day, New York had roller rinks everywhere. Now they are rare, so seeing this place alive and buzzing made me root for it instantly. The rink itself is not massive, but it is big enough to make you feel confident and terrified at the same time. The crowd was a mix of beginners clinging to the rail like it was a lifeline and pros gliding around like skating versions of Michael Jackson. Meanwhile I was in the middle lane praying I would not become the next viral wipeout video. The opening DJ was decent, but the headlining DJ never really materialized. Maybe he was invisible. Maybe he was on a coffee break. Maybe he was spiritually mixing from another dimension. Either way, I was a little disappointed. Music is a big part of the experience and if the DJ is not matching the vibe, it's like dancing with no rhythm. At one point, as a former pro DJ, I even thought about asking for the manager so I could apply for my own DJ set. I mean, how hard could it be? All jokes aside, I had a really good time. My friend and I laughed, the people were friendly, and the atmosphere was fun. I would definitely recommend this place. I have only been once, but I will absolutely go back again, hopefully with better music and fewer near-death skating experiences. Photos coming soon!

I've skated here twice (Autumn and Spring) and enjoyed myself BOTH times…read more I own quad skates, so that $15 rental fee is not a factor. If you do rent, the two-toned suede skates are cute. I believe the electronic locker is $5 and fit 2 jackets, shoes and smaller bags. There was plenty of booth and bench seating near the wide bar and around the edges of the rink. The spacious bathroom is well stocked. The service from the bar was prompt and pleasant. My favorite things were the salmon nachos and coconut water. The surface of the skating floor is smooth, and provide a comfy skating experience even for less frequent/ unseasoned skaters. The center of the floor is dedicated to learners and tricks. At times the stage is accessible for shenanigans & live shows/ DJs. The floor can be very contested on more popular night and sor special events, which less than ideal for faster skaters and easy maneuvering around folks. This is a welcome indoor activity that is weather proof and I approve.

For a POP up rink in BK it was nice!! This is a commercial space in transition. The floor is…read moreunpolished concrete and the skating area is a good size space.

Entry was free (unheard of in this day and age!) and skate rentals were only $20+tax. Believe me when I say the energy of all the skaters, employees and DJ were off the charts! Everyone was positive, enthusiastic, supportive and friendly! There were impromptu conga lines, electric slide dances and smiles aplenty. I must have skated for about 3 hours with only the occasional 3 minute break to catch my breath. In case you got hungry or thirsty, there were small mom n pop food and drink vendors by the entrance charging very reasonable prices. The best part was being amongst such talented skaters! I've only been skating three times now but I feel like I leveled up just by watching others here. If you're new to skating, rest assured that the community is as friendly as they are skilled! 5/5 beach skating event.. thank you RollerWave NYC!

Tanya and Chris were amazing. Started a little late for open skate but because it was open skate, I…read moredefinitely didn't expect them to take the time to teach us how to skate better. Chris was phenomenal and super patient with my two left feet husband. He taught him to move to the rhythm, he taught me backwards skating after seeing me try on my own and he also taught me how to turn in smaller spaces. The music is phenomenal and although we had to travel a little far, we loved it! I was so impressed with her stern yet friendly demeanor, the music, and their help that I signed up for class in Massapequa on Monday! They are the best and they enjoy dong what they love. My hubby even bought me a t-shirt. It was amazing and my hubby doesn't feel like a loser when he attempts trying to skate.

I booked an event here for a school group and generally was happy with everything, but there could…read morebe some improvements. The booking process was easy, and the staff are very responsive through email. They use a portal for the payment, contract, and waivers which is very convenient. When I arrived, the staff were very helpful and gave me the wristbands and vouchers for hot chocolate right away. They explained the bags for storage were an additional cost, even for large groups, but they were nice and gave me additional bags I needed after purchasing two for our group of 40 people. The lines were EXTREMELY long and slow for general admission which is disappointing when the sessions are limited to 1.5 hours. By the time you purchase tickets and get your skates, part of the session is over. Our session didn't end right at the session end time; they seem to give an additional 10-15 minutes after the end time. I wouldn't recommend getting the $2 chocolate add-on for large groups. Students said the hot chocolate wasn't hot and also didn't taste good at all. This was disappointing given the additional cost. Overall, I would recommend this rink but hope they can provide quicker service at the ticket counter as well as at the skate rental.

Upstairs 3rd floor has a single rink underneath a soft dome, ice is a little on the soft side but isn't bad for the hockey and learn to skate that you have here. Check in is the 2nd level, and there's a training center in the basement. They have a skate shop on the entry floor with the garage.

Party of 4 came here for a NY Islanders fan skate event…read more The good: Entry was complimentary for the 90-minute session, thanks to the Islanders. The ice was LOVELY, very smooth and MOSTLY level, though at the rounded corners it made a bit of a dip near the barriers. There was ample stadium seating for putting on/ removing skates and spectating. There were a few helpers on the ice to assist those that fell. The meh: Standing on a line that snaked from the entry level down the stairs and outside in the cold and wind. Skate rental and restrooms on a separate floor from the rink. The awkward: having to descend/ascend the stairs with skates on. People (both adults and children) crowded the entryway to the ice. Overall, it was a solid option for indoor/ temperature-controlled ice-skating.

High recommend for kids interested in learning hockey :)

My two kids joined their learn to play class, from the start was it was a hassle. We were required…read moreto get their measurements for their hockey gear and I had questions but was unable to reach the owner, Jocelyne. They received my payment but never responded to emails or phone calls. But thats not why they earned the one star. Let me start by saying that I spoke to both coaches and they said "its ok" and then I'm assuming the husband of the boss. He told me to talk to the coaches and the owner Jocelyne said she will talk to the coaches, which she never did. When you sign up you can choose white or blue jerseys. We chose blue. During the lessons the coaches would split the team by color and there would be 7 white shirts and 5 blue shirts (two blue shirts using skate trainers). For 5 or more sessions we had 3 blues vs 7 white jerseys. The blue jersey would lose every game by double digits and lucky to score one goal. I've ask the coaches to split the teams evenly by having some white jerseys wear blue scrimmage vest, that happened only once which the blue team won and my kids could not wait for the next class, they were so excited. The next class they where back to 7 vs 3 and and the next 3 weeks the same. Both of my kids don't want to play ice hockey anymore so we've stopped going, foregoing the rest of the lessons. LIC ICE broke my kids and took away the enjoyment of ice hockey. How can you let them get destroyed every game, hearing them complain even cry and do the same thing every lessons. I would had considered continuing with LIC ICE and even paying the tuition that was now doubled the price with the "one hour in the workout room" if you just focused more on the kids want and love of the game instead of crushing them and harassing me about signing up for next season. I even overlooked that your rink is really meant for 3 on 3 no where close to 10+ kids plus two coaches.
