My other friends tried the entrance near Pershing St. That, too, was closed. But three's a charm, so we got in at the Hartsfield Gate, which is kind of near S. Courthouse Road/2nd St. I'd call ahead and ask exactly which gate/entrance to take so you can avoid our pitfalls. Otherwise, my friends and I had a good time here. Like the others already mentioned, the prices for bowling and drinks are very reasonable. My Smirnoff ice was $3.50 and my friend's bf got a bucket full of about 7 small Millers for something in the range of $7. Alcoholic beverages aren't listed on the menu, so you just have to ask for them directly. They could probably expand their arcade games if they wanted to, their arcade game room is pretty small and not that well-ventilated. I liked their music selection -- all top40 stuff. Overall, we had a fine time!

    I'd give it 3.5 stars. I got the Trio package for our 3 boys that included a round of mini golf,…read more$15 in arcade game credits and a round of laser tag. The arcade games are pretty expensive and they blew through the $15 in less than 15 mins. The mini golf course was short and compacted on the main floor so the courses were not as fancy or intricate as some larger outdoor mini golf courses. The boys finished all 18 holes in less than 30 mins all by themselves. The laser tag was fun too. The vests were pretty big and heavy and it looked so big our littlest guy but he held his own. It seemed crowded when the summer camp group of kids were there, but when they all left, it wasn't crowded at all. Coming from LA, where anything fun is crowded, it was nice to not have to wait in long lines. We wanted to try the laser maze, but it wasn't working. The workers were all teenagers, and the manager guy looked maybe early 20's but they were all helpful. It was fun to spend a couple hours in the hot afternoon being indoors.

    This was a fun spot to check out and play a round of mini golf. I was initially nervous the monster…read moretheme would be a little too much for the kids. But they loved it, especially the gigantic green monster that would occasionally pop up and tower over the course. There are many different packages you can purchase. I ended up going with the combo golf and arcade package. It was a fairly good deal and I knew there was no way I would be getting out of this place without my kids playing a few rounds of Air Hockey and Skee-ball. I also enjoy a good arcade game myself. Some of the games, not all of them, dispense digital tickets. We managed to collect enough to get some fun toys including a spider that would crawl down a wall and an ice cream cone where you can launch the ice cream right off. My son thought this was the best invention ever! Overall, our time here was spectacular. We can't wait to visit again!

    I have to admit as long as I've lived in the DMV area this was literally my first time visiting…read morePinstripes lol. While it was my first visit, it definitely will not be my last! I attended for our employee summer event, and our team had such a great time. I have to give a major shoutout to Filipe (I hope I'm spelling his name correctly). He and his team took such great care of us and he was incredibly friendly throughout the event. Honestly, I would come back just because of the amazing service he provided. The food was great as well. We had pre-selected menu items that included signature wings, tenderloin sliders, Margherita and pepperoni flatbreads, Caprese sliders, feta and spinach stuffed phyllo, and pesto chicken skewers. Everything was flavorful and definitely hit the spot after some friendly competition with my coworkers. Pinstripes has a lot to offer, and I'll definitely be back. They have so many events happening, from happy hours to Music Bingo, and I believe they also host live bands. Whether you're looking for a fun night out, great food or a place to bring a group, Pinstripes is worth checking out! Highly recommend!

The food is delicious ( pizza & wings are a must ) The establishment is extremely clean, with a super modern feel to it... I've sat at the bar and enjoyed drinks and I've also enjoyed bowling multiple times. Whether you're on an intimate outing with a significant other, or you're enjoying a fun-filled outing with family and friends... trust me, Pinstripes is the place to be !!! The service is very attentive and ready to assist in a timely manner. Hands down Pinstripes is one of my favorite outings period and a place I plan to enjoy all summer ( more reviews are sure to come !!! ) Plus I can really bowl a little !! Shoutout to Pinstripes for setting the standards when it comes to bowling, bubbly and delicious bites !!

    I've been here a few times, and I always receive helpful and friendly service. Its been awhile…read moresince I last bowled in a league so I "needed" a new ball LOL I had ordered a Storm Tropical Surge online for $99 and brought it in to get drilled. If you buy a ball here, then drilling the finger holes is included so in hindsight it would have been more cost effective to purchase the ball here but I wasn't sure they would carry the exact one I wanted - which is scented and smells like birthday cake. Plenty of parking but space to get in and out of the plaza on Pickett can be tight. As soon as I brought in my ball, I was greeted by a friendly gentleman and he asked many questions about my other balls and my grip so we could find the best fit for my new ball. He measured my fingers and it took 15 minutes to get it drilled. Plenty of bowling bags, shoes, balls & accessories to look at while you're waiting. Once they were done, I rolled it down the carpet lane to get a good feel and off I went. They told me to come back if the holes need a little tweaking after I bowl with it. Love coming here, maybe I "need" another ball

I made a reservation however, I was running a little behind but fortunately they were still able to seat me. Next, the waiter came over and took our drink orders. He was very nice, and attentive. It really seemed like he enjoyed his job. So that was nice. For drinks we ordered the mimosas. Unfortunately, it is not bottomless but we still enjoyed them. If you order the mimosas you get a bottle of champagne with orange, grapefruit, and cranberry juice on the side and a cup of fruit. It was a very nice presentation. We decided to partake in the brunch buffet which was delicious. All the items were cooked to perfection, and hot to serve. They offered many options from waffles to grilled chicken and pizza. I particularly enjoyed the chicken and waffles as well as the roast beef and mac n cheese. They also offered a variety of desserts that were tasty as well. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and not too expensive considering everything that brunch includes. I'd definitely go back. If you are in the Pike and Rose area I suggest you check it out. Cheers!

    For the history nerds, there are two bowling alleys on The White House campus. The one this refers…read moreto is the Truman Bowling Alley. It was once inside the actual White House, but was moved to the Old Executive Office Building in 1955. (The original room that housed it is now the Situation Room.) There is still a bowling alley inside the actual White House, but that was built as a single-lane bowling alley in the 1970s under the Nixon Administration. The Nixon Bowling Alley isn't accessible to more White House staff, but the Truman Bowling Alley is! If you get the coveted invitation to the Truman Bowling Alley, go! Like all White House visits, you'll need to fill out a form beforehand that will get you past two security areas. (The second is like going through airport security.) The Truman Bowling Alley is in the basement of the Old Executive Office Building with clearly marked signs. Once in the basement, you'll walk through a no-frills hallway that feels more like a Cold War-era bunker. Step inside the bowling alley into a small kitchenette area with a display telling the Truman Bowling Alley's history. There's a wall of shoes for bowlers with a spray bottle to disinfect the shoes before putting them back. The back room is where you'll find two bowling lanes with one area with all kinds of balls and two electronic boards to input each bowlers' names and for keeping score. There are TV screens on the wall nearby that call out spares, strikes, etc. You can even take a photo of your group from the screen that is projected onto the TV screen. The room has photos of U.S. Presidents and guests bowling throughout the decades and a few seats along the side. The space is pretty tight. The lanes themselves come with pins attached to strings. It's a nice, fun, and special bowling alley. If you get invited, more meetings to go!

    Great time networking with colleagues in Veterans employment. Unique opportunity. Invitation…read moreonly.
