Beer, Bocce and Bowling: Pinstripes Opens in Orlando

Chicago’s beloved restaurant brand, Pinstripes, has officially made its mark in Central Florida with the grand opening of its first location near Orlando. Nestled in the vibrant tourism district at 11643 Daryl Carter Parkway, Pinstripes Orlando promises a unique dining and entertainment experience like no other.

Spanning over 40,000 square feet, Pinstripes Orlando boasts a sprawling two-story venue that seamlessly combines delectable dining options with exciting entertainment amenities. According to a recent news release, guests can indulge in the restaurant's signature Italian-American cuisine while enjoying an array of entertainment offerings, including 16 bowling lanes, two outdoor patios, and four private event spaces.

One of the standout features of Pinstripes Orlando is its four indoor and outdoor bocce courts, inviting guests to partake in the beloved team-based Italian ball game while soaking in the Florida sun. With a prime location in Orlando, a top convention destination in the U.S., Pinstripes plans to host over 1,000 events within its first year of operation, catering to both locals and tourists alike.

From wood-fired pizzas to decadent desserts like gelato and tiramisu, Pinstripes Orlando offers a mouthwatering selection of Italian-American dishes for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Additionally, beer enthusiasts can delight in the restaurant's curated beer selection, featuring brews from local favorites such as Ivanhoe Brewing and Crooked Can Brewing.

This marks Pinstripes' second venture into the Sunshine State, following the success of its Miami location. With plans already in motion for additional expansions, including a Coral Gables location set to open in the summer and a Jacksonville outpost in the fall, Pinstripes Founder and CEO Dale Schwartz envisions a bright future for the brand.

“With 16 open venues in 10 states to date, we have a tremendous whitespace ahead of us, with the potential for at least 150 total locations domestically,” Schwartz expressed in a previously prepared statement, highlighting the brand's ambitious growth trajectory.

As Pinstripes continues to carve out its presence across the country, Central Florida residents and visitors can look forward to experiencing the perfect blend of culinary delights and entertainment at Pinstripes Orlando. Whether it's a casual outing with friends or a special event celebration, Pinstripes promises an unforgettable experience for all who walk through its doors.
