It’s far from catastrophe at Shipwrecked Miniature Golf, Brooklyn’s premiere bar-meets-mini-golf-meets-arcade. The options are endless at Shipwrecked, where you can get a drink and play some games with your friends, family, a date or even your co-workers! Shipwrecked prides itself on being a “theatrical indoor entertainment concept,” created by two best friends who met in college in the Midwest. Both moved to NYC separately to pursue careers in the theater, where they saw a need for a unique and immersive themed experience here in Brookyn. Using the skills they honed from working on Broadway, they set sail with an idea they had tossed around for more than 16 years. In 2016 their dreams became a reality when Shipwrecked embarked on its journey — and its been nothing short of an adventure ever since!
