Such a great time with friends who enjoyed bottomless mimosas on a lovely Saturday afternoon. We indulged in the baked Mac and cheese that was so yummy and creamy. The pesto gnocchi was so yummy but a little too drenched in oil/butter. The grilled chicken avocado club was Great sandwich to end the meal. Our waitress was very kind and accommodating to our needs. We'd love to visit again and hit the bowling lanes! read more

I originally made reservations for brunch, but after running late I decided to just order from the main menu. I'm giving 3 stars because the food wasn't all what I expected it was okay. I ordered wings which was good I asked for a side of shrimp which they grilled for me after requesting. ( which was nice of them) the Mac and cheese was pretty basic and my salad was nicely made via presentation but I didn't like it maybe because they did not have a variety of dressing that I like. I wish they had more variety in food selection. The staff was very nice, friendly and accommodating. The location, atmosphere and the restaurant itself is very nice. They also had seating outside and the view was nice. read more

I've been here a few times and was always pleased with the results. This isn't your typical bowling alley. There's weekend brunch, weekday lunch, dinner, dessert, happy hour, and events. There's also a great food selection, drinks, service, and games (bowling or bocce). I celebrated my birthday here a few years ago and it was a hit with my guests.

No complaints here. Arrived around 2:45pm on a Saturday and they just switched from the brunch menu to the dinner menu, however they still allowed us to quickly order from brunch menu so that was nice! I had the BBQ pizza and it was good. I took most of it home! My partner had the bottomless mimosas for $24 and it definitely got him lit! I'd recommended that and the lemon drop martini! I didn't bowl so I can't speak to that, but the food was alright in my book. read more

Pinstripes is a surprisingly fun place.. We had a great brunch with a amazing server. Endless Mimosas with fruit selections. After our brunch we went to bowl. Bowling waa quite crowded. The buffet offers any fruit you can think of, muffins, bagels, crossiants,artesian breads, omelet bar with carving station. Bakery items including a selection of fresh baked cookies. Scramble eggs with herbs, bacon, chicken tenders, sausage turkey products on request. The vibe was really chill with diners enjoying fellowship and laughter. No rush dining was a pleasure with multiple people just checking in on my party of 3. We went to the bowling area they was reserved for us after dining. Lounge area are located throughout. All in this was a great restaurant to visit. read more

I have only been to this one 2 times but the food is awful and the manager is rude and we got there at 511 and we're still there at 730 pm took forever to get water or service. My friend sent her salad back 2 times and the pasta made her vomit. The pizza I ordered was ok. Overall $32 not worth this price and when I complained the manager excused me of complaining before when I definitely have never complained at this restaurant maybe my friend had but he was talking to both of us. I was very disappointed and I will definitely be calling corporate. Will never go to this one again. read more

What a great find in the middle of Georgetown. I took a chance on their Italian based on the waiter's feedback and there was 1 amazing thing he left out....they make their own mozzarella! And it was damn delicious. But I digress. Let's start over. We were greeted by a friendly hostess who was able To seat us right away. Jude, our waiter greeted us shortly later and took the drink order. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food and was honest about his favorites. I went with his recommendation on the gnocchi and I gotta tell you, it was delish. Fresh basil was buried into and made the dish along with the sauce. OH!! We ordered the Bruschetta for an app and I could have had another for dinner. Outside of Italy, it was one of the best I had. The restaurant was well laid out avoiding tables being packed close together. They had games such as Bocci ball and bowling but we never looked as my daughter wanted to hit some more stores to walk off the great meal. I will return. read more

Great specials with great prices. Friendly service. Only have been here twice for dinner and the food's pretty good. Apparently it's two floors and has bocce and bowling and a lot of stuff going on. Also a cute outdoor patio. This is the kind of place I hope can survive in Georgetown. It's an unpretentious, down-to-earth kind of place that isn't going to put a hole in your wallet. Not a hipe vibe/scene or whatever but it isn't trying to be. Plenty of those to be found elsewhere in the city. After visiting once, the manager was generous enough to email me a voucher for a complimentary pizza. Pizza hit the spot! Will definitely be back. I really like what they're going for. read more

This is my second visit to a Pinstripes (see my review about the Chicago location if traveling there) and I must say this franchise has a great thing going for them. The place is right near Georgetown University and they have an amazing set up. They have places to sit large parties and well as smaller areas near the bocce and bowling lanes. I love that when you walk in the bar is near the front door and you can literally stand and see your food being prepared if you choose to do so. Now let's get to the food. Every wing flavor was amazing. My favorite was the sweet chile glaze. Make sure you ask for the La to be well done so they stay crispy. You won't regret it. The pizza, jambalaya, crispy chicken sandwich were all amazing. Our server was great. She handled everything for us and we had a large group. I cannot forget the drink specials. All mixed drinks are half off on Thursday's. The margaritas and mojitos are excellent. They have a blackberry drink that I cannot remember the name but it was delicious as well. I'm not sure why this place has a 3.6 but it's a 5 all day for me. read more

At first our experience at Pinstripes was not pleasant. We had called the establishment to confirm a few things including: - Arrival: does the entire party need to be present to confirm reservation - Bowling and Brunch price: we were told over the phone there was one price for bottomless brunch and bowling A few members of the party were late due to parking in DC but we had a few people present and on time to hold the reservation. As we were waiting for our party the staff had told us if everyone didn't show up within 15 min grace period our reservation would be cancelled - was NOT what we were told over the phone. Luckily we were able to clarify this with the staff and management and they were able to extend our bowling. For the brunch and bowling price - when we clarified this with management they let us know that we were misinformed so they apologized and brought us a complimentary flatbread and drink for our birthday boy which was very kind. Although at first it wasn't pleasant we are so happy with the way the staff handled the situation. Ultimately the bowling here is very pricy so not sure if we would return to bowl, but the food and drinks are good and I'd come back just to dine! read more

Such a fun place. Bocce ball, bowling, and happy hour. What more can you ask for? Definitely recommend a reservation to guarantee a lane. There are only two bocce ball lanes. My friends and I made a bocce ball and bowling reservation. Not sure if you get to choose the order, but we ate food first, played bocce ball next, and ended with bowling. I would recommend the same order, because you wouldn't have to go back and forth to your original table to take a bite of food and thus maximizes your playing time. ..... ULTIMATE VEGGIE PIZZA: 4/5 enjoyed the amount of veggies on this pizza and how it wasn't the typical "bell peppers", "mushroom", and "olives" pizza. the crust was nice and crispy and the pizza itself wasn't too dry WHISKEY SOUR: 5/5 dangerous. it was surprisingly good, but I'm not a huge whiskey person - so it is on the sweeter side MOSCOW MULE: 4/5 came in a standard copper mug as a proper moscow mule - but not bad DEEP FRIED CAULIFLOWER: 4/5 feel the cauliflower could be battered up more and have more of this "deep fried" texture. but the buffalo flavoring is pretty good and being a fan on blue cheese, loved the combo read more

From the moment we arrived, our 2 hour experience here was a string of disappointments. When we arrived, we were told bowling for 7 people for 2 hours (on a single lane), would cost over $400. Maybe this is normal for Georgetown, but I could not believe this price. The worst of it is, those $400 afford no sense of decent standard, let alone luxury. The service was slow, facilities poor (lane was uneven and roof was half finished), bathrooms were gross, the seating was tight- the list goes on. If this had been a reasonable price, I wouldn't complain so much, but nothing matched up here. Now, the food I have less insight into since we didn't sit in the restaurant. The food we did order was better than typical bowling alley food, but for a restaurant, it was mediocre at best. To sum up, save yourself the fortune and take your money somewhere that has either good bowling or good food, not a place that's awful at both. read more

Pinstripes was fun for lunch and bowling! More casual than many Georgetown counterparts and relatively good prices in comparison. The lunch combo was great and I really liked their chicken dumpling soup and the salami capers w sandwich for $15. The sangria was not exactly what I was expecting - it was more of a spritz than a sangria but still good. Old school bowling alley and bocce court in the back which is $16pp for an hour. Reservations recommended. I would go back! read more

Oh Pinstripes. I have to say my experience was not that great. It started with being seated in a dark, small booth area. Then, they dropped my drink and replaced it with the wrong wine smh. The margarita pizza was pretty decent, so no complaints there. The experience just got worse with the bowling part. They didn't think I was with the party I was with and the floors will so slippery, someone in our party fell. Even after talking to management, he seemed not to know how we could give feedback. The service was extra slow all night, even though there was barely anyone in there. If you go against your better judgement, make sure you have money for the expensive parking garage. Fortunately, I found a spot on the street for free. Reading is fundamental! read more

I must admit that when a girlfriend suggested that we go to brunch at Pinstripes for our friends birthday I immediately said "the bowling alley in Georgetown?? To eat?? For brunch?? I have been there many many moons ago for bowling networking events/receptions but honestly had absolutely no idea there was an entire restaurant production on the opposite side!!! I guess that's what happens when you partake in plentiful alcohol when you really can't bowl!lol Even walking from the garage on this gloomy February Sunday with gated ongoing loud construction directly next door, I still wasn't sold. Let's just say please don't judge a book by it's bowling alley cover!! Greeted by the host that gave us 2 social distanced table options when I saw how huge this place was and how easily one would never notice the dark far far away sectioned off bowling section. Not that I wanted to bowl but inquired and was told it had been closed indefinitely during Covid. Now on to the best part, the grub! Eliza our server was awesome giving great recommendations including the special of day, the Open face salmon sandwich. Now I love some Salmon and have been trying to switch it up but the description had me sold. Especially for a late brunch when you've already had an early breakfast when your friends are late risers. The salmon was cooked to perfection, not dry and delish. I stole a bite of the avocado toast that was tasty as well. I'm not a big dessert fan but the fresh baked warm & gooey chocolate chip cookies called our names and were the perfect ending on this cold rainy day. Whenever you're in Georgetown and don't need to be fancy smancy on the water but looking for good food, Pinstripes is a must! Being attached to a covered garage is a plus too!! read more

I attended a company party here recently and my review is based on that. Parking is in an attached garage, which cost us $23 for just 2 hours. Convenient because there is very limited parking (and traffic can be chaotic), but expensive. Pinstripes has bowling and food, and you can see both young families and older patrons here. Our party was at the Rockville/North Bethesda Pinstripes last year, and it was much nicer for hosting private events (and had free parking). This Pinstripes was older, more cramped, more dimly lit, and didn't have a designated room for our party like in the Rockville location. I did like the greenery wall backdrop, which was nice for IG pics. Service was much less frequent compared to the other location, and we saw some drinks being dropped. There is bocce also at this location (I don't recall it at the Rockville one). Our food selections tasted great however, similar to the other location. Overall, 4/5 but I much prefer the Rockville location. read more

Food and service was AMAZING! My friends anf i had so much fun here! And S/o to Joe the manager! Spectacular.

Food was ok, nice place to eat outside to enjoy the nice weather. However, I wouldn't call the service bad, it was non existent. We could see our waitress chatting with a fellow colleague inside the entire time. Never checked on us, had to chase her down to get our bill and then had to go inside to pay because she never came back. Too many good options in Georgetown to eat, would not come back again. read more

It didn't seem like a bowling alley at first glance, but when our host guided us through the establishment, we entered what it seemed like a whole new world! Such a cool spot, and I loved the atmosphere. Highly recommend their fries and Brussel sprouts. -- They were delicious! read more

Love Pinstripes! We came here for lunch and were lucky enough to have a nice day so we could sit outside (they are back open for indoor dining now also). They have a great space for outdoor seating tucked away in downtown Georgetown. We started with the bruschetta for an appetizer. It was delicious! All of the ingredients tasted very fresh and the bread was perfect. The bread was still soft and tasted fresh yet had just enough crunch! For entrees, we had the chicken parmesan and a caesar salad with salmon. Both meals were very good. The chicken parm had a peppercorn cream sauce along with the marinara. It was very tasty and I would definitely recommend trying it. It is up there with the best chicken parms I have ever had! The caesar salad is exactly what you would expect it to be. The ingredients all tasted very fresh. The service was impeccable and everyone was very friendly. We can't wait to come back and are looking forward to when bowling opens back up! To anyone in the area, I would definitely recommend checking them out! read more

Came here for dinner this week and had a less than stellar experience. The service was quite slow. Asked for a sharing plate that never came. I ordered a decaf coffee with dessert and was served a cappuccino which I didn't drink. Not only was it served when everyone finished dessert but it was room temp at best and I don't consume dairy milk (only milk alternatives). Overall subpar and a totally different experience from my last meal here. read more

We had a great experience at Pinstripes at Georgetown! The staff was amazing and very attentive. The initial lane we had wasn't working.

I really appreciate the kindness and generosity they showed us. One staff member even gave my son a medallion and a hat. The food was really good!

Great set up for a small group bowling/bocce activity. We had 7 people and it was a good amount. Prob a reservation is a good idea. Food was decent, they have a few house made things on the menu which was nice. Decent variety of wine, beer and cocktails. They have two mocktails which was excellent but they were out of one! Kind of annoying when you're chosen item is out & not marked on the menu & they don't tell you. Also out of the ahi poke.... Anyway, I'd rec for the fun. read more

Great place for happy hour. I've dined here multiple times. Stopped by on a busy Sunday. My family and I ate some truffle fries, flat breads, calamari and wings. The wings are a must order especially the spicy calabrese. Prices are reasonable and on Sunday HH is between 6-10 pm. The drinks weren't bad either. You can get mixed cocktails for around $6. Fun place to celebrate something or enjoy some happy hour food and drinks. Service is always at a high-level. Parking around here is limited with the garage and street parking. read more

It was my first time dining and bowling at Pinstripes. I really enjoyed the attentive wait staff, and their pleasant personalities. The ambiance is inviting. They have a bar upon entering as well other activities besides bowling. The menu is broad enough to include several eating restrictions and diet types. For appetizers we enjoyed the hummus plate & guacamole which were so delightful. I had the chicken parmesan, and my other party members enjoyed burgers and sandwiches. A few tips be prepared to use a parking lot for parking the street parking is terrible in this area. Our reservation was for noon and we were 15 minutes late due to traffic and parking. It was popular 2 hour reservation timeslot. Like us, most came for their staff lunch holiday gathering. After 2:00 it was a little empty so next time we'll book that timeslot. Overall, a great experience. Great food, service and atmosphere. Suggest taking uber/lyft. read more

This place absolutely sucks. My buddy and I come for bottomless brunch, $40/person, and all the food options are literal garbage. Weirdest assortment of foods, all of which is left sitting out without ever being refreshed from 11:00am to 3:00pm. Highly discourage anyone and everyone from going here for anything but Happy Hour. So many better options in Georgetown and the rest of DC when it comes to bottomless brunch options. Will never be back here for food!!! BUYER BEWARE!!! read more

Pinstripes - Trash. Garbage. - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I visited tonight with 4 coworkers. We had a reservation (which I recommend) for an hour of bowling. The front desk staff were competent and friendly. They advised us that the clock starts when the first person is seated at the lane, so it's best to have all members of your party present to ensure the full reservation time for all players. The bar serves happy hour drinks and food from 3 to 7pm Monday through Friday. The lane doesn't offer happy hour prices so you either have to order food at regular price from the lane server or order from the bar to get the happy hour price but then they deliver the food to you. Whatever they gain in lane service full price profits they lose in customers being frustrated having to, as a formality, repeatedly have to order from the bar instead of from the lane server. Stop the ridiculousness: Either prohibit bar food and drinks to be brought to the lane or extend happy hour to the lanes. It makes no business sense for the model they have. Another minor inconvenience is that the seating area is bisected by a narrow walkway, so if your lane is closest to the exit door as ours was, other guests in further lanes get in your way (or you're in their way) as they try to exit while you're just standing in and around your lane. My friend said it's because of limited space; I think it's just poorly designed. I ordered hummus duo (regular hummus and avocado hummus) and a Salty Dog (vodka, grapefruit juice, rosemary syrup). The beverage was not very strong but was a unique and very sweet taste but a bit too much rosemary even for this fan of rosemary. The hummus was an ample portion at $8 and served with plenty of cucumber slices and fresh pita bread as well as sunflower seeds and chopped tomatoes. Definitely shareable but I consumed it all. read more

Overall a lovely experience. Diamond was an excellent server and made us feel right at home. The location boasts awesome vistas and spacious seating, and the music was perfectly en pointe in terms of volume and selection--you can hear yourself speak here. The food was solid American fare and we enjoyed our meals. Nothing particularly special for the price point but you won't be unhappy, and the ingredients are good quality. Did take us longer than expected to be seated by the staff, even with a basically empty venue, but once we were in, we felt like family. read more

My project team had out quarterly engagement activity at Pinstripes recently. We had a slot from 4-6pm. They give you a 15min grace period which is nice. We started bowling and 30 minutes in our lane started acting up. The lane mechanic came to fix it while me and my team ordered food. The food is fantastic. From the wings to the pizza we really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, our lane was never fixed. After an hour from when it stopped working we were offer to go play Bocce Ball for 30min prior to use leaving. The Manager (Leo) was very accommodating and cover our bowling cost as we well as you bocce ball game. Although they had issues the food was amazing and they took good care of us. read more
