    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!

    Pinstripes is more than bowling, it's more than nice drinks and really good finger foods…read more.. Pinstripes is an experience that engulfs you with fun and a very bubbly environment. 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 have been on a bowling hiatus for decades. The bowling bug kinda bit, I knew it was time to get…read more"back in the game". Single player here and not looking to join a league, but let me share my experience with this store. Jim and Mike were working. I had already had a price in my head with what I wanted to spend. They offer a package deal for around $170, but because I wanted a little better ball, I was able to upgrade for a little more. My finger measurements were accurate, I was in and out in less than an hour. But I really enjoyed talking to these two gentlemen. They aren't trying to upsell you with stuff you don't need. They have a passion for bowling and it shows. If you think you can get a better deal on Amazon, you are wrong. You won't get the service that you would at the store. You would still have to bring your ball in for them to drill, so whatever you think you saved, you would actually he in the negative with all costs combined. This store has everything a bowler needs! Not to mention the experience and dedication that Jim and Mike showed me. There is a reason customers make long drives to come here. They offer great hours and are usually closed only on Sundays, but check for holidays as they might close also. The only small downside is the parking lot is tight and not a lot of spots, but with the service, who cares? Another small thing, they didn't send me home with a shoe box, a bowling bowl box and the bowling bag wasn't in plastic. Everything was put together for me, like I could head right to the bowling alley. I'll only use this shop for my bowling needs! Thanks Jim and Mike !

    This was my first time trying Pinstripes for brunch and I was not disappointed. As soon as I walked…read morein I was greeted by the friendly hostess who promptly took me to my seat. 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!

Wasn't busy but the bartender wasn't always around. My old fashioned cocktail was ok. The margherita flatbread wasn't good. Not a place I'd be in a hurry to return to.

    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.
