Pinstripes is more than bowling, it's more than nice drinks and really good finger foods... 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 !! read more

Came for lunch, drinks, and bowling. Mixed experience. Food: Decent The pizza was actually pretty good - solid crust, good flavor. I'd order it again. Rest of the food was fine, nothing memorable but nothing bad. If you're just here to eat, it's decent. Drinks/Bar: Disappointing Bar service was really inattentive. Had to flag someone down multiple times and waited way too long between rounds. That said, Happy Hour pricing is a good deal if you can actually get a bartender's attention. Bowling: Frustrating Biggest letdown. The bowling machine broke down twice during our game. Took a while for staff to even come help, and when they finally got it running, they didn't extend our time to make up for it. We didn't even get to finish the game we paid for. Overall, food's decent and Happy Hour prices are nice, but the slow bar service and the bowling issues with zero resolution really soured the night. Not sure I'd rush back unless they improve the attentiveness and customer service when things go wrong. read more

Dear reader, I had a work event at Pinstripes in Georgetown and had a thoroughly good time. The location is a lovely, canal-side spot, with plenty of parking nearby and a very walkable area that makes arriving and lingering equally easy. Inside, there is loads of space for bowling and bocce, so the whole place feels lively without becoming chaotic. The food also held its own, which is not always guaranteed at a venue built for group fun. The flatbread pizzas and Caesar salad were both superb and kept everyone pleasantly satisfied. There were multiple bars, which helped the afternoon move along nicely, and the employees were exceptionally kind and attentive throughout. For a work event, it struck a very pleasing balance of organised, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyable. Overall, Pinstripes made for a charming outing with enough space, food, and activity to keep the whole party happy indeed afterward. read more

Had a great time on a Thursday evening at Pinstripes! We came during happy hour and ordered a few beers, the pretzel bites, the sliders, and later had the hummus and the fries. I think the happy hour menu is all phenomenal. $5 beers and $10 food? I'm not sure you can find that many other places. The sliders were excellent and I would highly recommend them. The pretzel bites were very similar to ones you'd find at the mall. The hummus was plentiful and healthy. I'd skip the fries next time, but that's just me! Service was friendly and prompt. Definitely an excellent date night! read more

This was such a cool place. I brought a student travel group there - 30 people total. We had our own private room and they served us food family style. We had pasta and pizza. Once we finished eating we had one hour to play a game of bowling. We got three lanes to play. It was one of the best nights of our trip. read more

I'll leave a positive note! Although I'm still confused whether to consider Pinstripes as a restaurant? Bar? I was impressed by the quality of service and how spacious the entire space was.

*****Happy hour review***** Stopped by for HH before attending an event upstairs at Pinstripes. Had about 10 minutes until HH ended and our bartender/waiter was on it! They have quite a few tables around the bar and stools lining the bar itself. Ordered a glass of pinot grigio ($5) and the chicken avocado club flatbread ($10), which were both great deals. My glass of wine was quite refreshing and the pour was generous. I really enjoyed the flatbread (glad I listened to our waiter and didn't get the pizza version). It was perfectly crispy (not too crunchy) and came topped with a decent amout of bacon, avocado, roasted onions, and tomatoes. I also tried some of the crispy calamari (pretty good) and truffle fries ( this was a no - too crispy and not enough truffle). Pinstripes is overall a good place to head to for HH when in Georgetown. read more

I went with a group of friends and had arrived about 35 minutes into our one hour session. I went to the desk and let them know my parties name and my shoe size. It was a bit disorganized and five or so minutes had lapsed while another group made their selections and paid. The gentleman helping me let me know there was 20 minutes left and asked if I still wanted to bowl. I looked at him oddly and said yes. Why would I ask for shoes if I didn't want to bowl? Making it to the back is pretty awkward and curves through the restaurant. We were assigned a table in the middle. We had two lanes for an hour. There is a server that comes through to serve food and drinks. It was happy hour so that was a bonus. Note- the drinks were strong. We didn't order any food, so I can't comment. There is a restaurant, so you can opt to dine afterwards. Overall it was an okay experience. There wasn't too much room for a larger party (more 6) to sit comfortably together, so several had to sit on the back bench, which wasn't ideal. I wouldn't say it wasn't a bad time, but the weird conversation at the front desk and the seating situation would make me reconsider this establishment for a larger party especially for the price tag that comes with it for such a short period of time. read more

They accommodated our large ~20 person party very well. Our server was great and handled everyone's food and drink orders well. Food can be hit or miss though, I actually really enjoyed the pepperoni pizza, but another friend thought her pasta dish was quite bland and didn't want to finish it. We didn't play any games but bowling and bocce are available. read more

Traveled with 115 teenagers and this was a great place to keep them entertained and fed. Food was fine, things were on the sweeter side, which was weird for things like pasta sauce. Pizza was a hit with our kids. Bowling was fun and engaging. Would definitely come back. read more

Food and drinks were good but the prices were a bit steep for the portion sizes. Predominantly the calamari. We got maybe 10 pieces for $18. The flatbread $18 with just chunks of tomato and cheese. My lemon martini was great. Overall the food is good but the prices are a bit high in my opinion. read more

The idea of late night happy hour is awesome. I mean $5 glasses of wine and draft beer is a really good deal! And $5 bowling and bocce? Amazing! But the food is less than ideal and the service during "late hours" is slow. I was very happy with my wine and truffle fries. You get a large portion, though $12 is a bit much. But nonetheless! The margherita flatbread wasn't great. And we waited quite a long time for it too. Just a lot of tomato and because the flatbread wasn't fully cooked, everything came off the second you picked up a slice. Like a soggy mess. Our service was fine. We had to go to the bar and we asked if we could go to the high tops. We were told sure. So we went to the high top and finally after waiting 15 minutes we gave up and sat at the bar. I know the bartender was cleaning up and wanting to leave, but it was 8:30 and they close at 10. I totally get it--I've been in service! But at the same time, we knew what we wanted and would be no trouble. I mean even the other guy at the bar commented on how slow service was despite the fact that the place was extremely empty. So that's slightly frustrating--but I'm happy to yap and talk for awhile so I didn't think much on it. But if you want quick service, *late night happy hour* might not be the ideal time. Ambiance and vibes were fine. Next time I'll only come for the drinks and the $5 bowling--which again is an awesome deal! I think their deals are awesome but if no one is willing to keep up with these deals, it might be a waste. read more

We had great family fun for our first experience here. I actually came here with my girlfriend and her two young nieces, and we had a super experience with everything. This is definitely the most high end bowling alley that I've ever been to. The fact that they have a full bar, as well as, a high end restaurant that features a buffett makes this bowling alley uniquely different. The only thing missing would be an extensive playground for kids. We spent the majority of our two hours strictly in the bowling alley. We had our own snacks, but we really would have loved to try out the buffet. We came on a Sunday and there really weren't that many people, I think about two thirds of the lanes were being used. The restaurant and the bar also had very few customers. I wouldn't mind checking out this place on a Saturday night. read more

Fabulous!! This is a HUGE restaurant that we came across while playing tourist in DC. It was GREAT! We sat at the bar and enjoyed their Happy Hour Menu. We got the sliders, the ribs and the cheese curds (all were delicious). Plus I tried the Paloma (so refreshing) and hubby had a beer. Anton was the perfect waiter. We both agree that we would absolutely return here if we had more time. Total was only $56 + tip. A bargain, especially for Georgetown! read more

Review Hi we came here for the noon drop at 11am, came downstairs at 12:15pm where it was complete chaos and took 10-15min to get seated. All of this could've been pre-empted by taking our reservations/orders while we were at the noon drop event. Then we get seated and it took 45min for our starters to be given and only because we asked for them. Tables were seated, had ordered and eaten and paid before we could get any food on our table. Then, once we finally got out foot 10min later when we were ready to leave and just walkout, we had no cutlery and no water and had to flag our server (very challenging btw--could not find him for 45min as he was always on the other side). Now it has been over 1 hr since we ordered and we are still waiting on our food. Please understand that not only are you incapable of providing quick service as promised, but you're also completely not kid friendly as children do not have the patience to starve through 1 hr noon drop and then wait another hour for food service. Outrageous service with no apologies and no manager in sight. read more

Honey it's cold out... and I want to Bocce! Bocce anyone? Wonderful date night idea, there were seven lanes, not too crowded for an early bird special retreat. Although the bar staff were busy with the happy hour patrons, know that you can order from the bocce area. Bocce courts are questionably soft and not flat due to the curve balls and misguided rolls, and it adds to the fun! Seas large groups for dining, and it is given a three due to not experiencing a dinner or bowling. I am sure to visit to feed my competitive ego... although they give the winner a hefty medal! I took one home... just sayin read more

Great place for older toddlers. They have a small slide to push the bowling ball down to guarantee enough momentum to reach the pins, and of course gutter guards. Food takes a while to receive after ordering but I assume that means it's fresh. Server comes around regularly. The food we've had was mid but that's not surprising since you come here for bowling, not fine dining. Our daughter has a blast here which is nice since adults can also enjoy the activity. read more

The Ultimate Veggie pizza is outstanding with brussels and cauliflower, I destroyed the whole pie myself. Next time I'll have to try the spaghetti and meatballs. Our server was awesome, even though he looked like the Pringles guy, and the food came out surprisingly fast. Get some bowling in if you have the time, there is an area you can play a game called bocce that looks pretty fun. read more

Food was bad, dry chicken, watery spaghetti. Lemonade was overly sweet. Service was fine. And Ambiance made no difference to experience.

This location is nice! It's large and the ambiance was a vibe! I want to say this review is based on a company event so the food options they had were pizza, salad, chicken kabob sticks,mini sliders and the food was ok. A lot of people there said the food was pretty basic. It could have been better but we came there to have a good time. I like the bowling alley ways. Very spacious and comfortable/clean! There was a bar upstairs and down stairs for convenience. Parking, be prepared to pay for parking, in DC you can't really get away with parking haha. The place isn't hard to find either once you walk up to it. The staff were nice and friendly and if I lived around this area I would come here again. read more

For a bowling alley in georgetown I was expecting some high prices, but I was honestly blown away by the value! I went on a Monday night for and was pleasantly surprised by a $12.99 special for bottomless Spaghetti + Salad. Both were very good and I didn't even need to get more than one serving (and I was pretty hungry). They also had a $10 bottle of wine special which I didn't get. Overall, the service, food, and atmosphere were all 10/10. My only minor complaint is that the bowling lane has a hard cutoff time. We were very close to finishing a game but got locked out. The next party wasn't there yet and I asked for a few more minutes but was told that wasn't possible. Not enough to deduct a star but it was a little annoyjng. I'll definitely be back for the specials! read more

Rate more closer to 2.5 Day and night. So I decided to come back since I had a great experience last visit. Wow. This time our server was invisible and hardly came by. My cousin ordered a beverage and they brought her the wrong one after she waited a while for it and then waited again. Same as ordering out food , and waiting for the bill. It wasn't even crowded. The food was still good. We ordered CRISPY CALAMARI wild caught, housemade marinara SUPER SALAD nine superfoods: kale, spinach, pecans, figs, veggie chips, avocado, grains, raspberries, humboldt fog goat cheese, honey red wine vinaigrette added shrimp My cousin also wanted to order some food but again, by the time we waited I was done w my salad!

I had the pleasure of setting up an event with the establishment for a work event. When I tell you it was a whirlwind experience, I'm not lying. However, they represented on their end and pulled through and helped me understand the overall each step that needed to be completed. Sam, if you stumble upon this review, you rock and are a great asset to them. I totally appreciate you. I ended up contacting them a few months prior to our event. There was a lot of back and forth between me and them to get the details right. After menu changes, amount of people attending, lanes needed, we were finally ready to sign the deal and make a payment. I'm not going to lie, to me, it was extremely confusing and new to me, but they worked with me overall and made it one of the easiest things to do. When the day finally came for the event. Everything went smoothly. Everyone loved the event from the food, drinks, and bowling. We opted for a replenishing buffet type of food and everyone raved about the sliders, mac and cheese, chips and what not. We also had an open bar that ran for the majority of our event. For bowling, everyone loved that too. The sofas was a nice touch for seating instead of those hard benches found in regular bowling alleys. It was nice that they had socks available for people that might have been in foot apparel that didn't require socks. When we got near the end of the event, i.e. where the open bar was being cut off, the manager onsite let me know and if we wanted to keep it open. He was very communicative and respective. I also have to hand it to my crew as they were respectful of the space and started to file out to allow for a quick turnover of the space. Overall, I would definitely hit this space up so I can explore more of it. The food was great and I'm sure having a meal here would amazing. Actually a night out in this area would kind of great. read more

If you're coming here, eat beforehand. The food is too expensive and is definitely an afterthought as the main attraction is the bowling.

Came here for an event where we had reserved a private room and a couple high tables near the bocce balls. The room had kind of a depressing vibe and I didn't really enjoy it, but I enjoyed the high tops during the bocce ball. The bocce ball was fun to play, but we got bored pretty quickly. We ordered catering which consisted of pesto chicken (which was dry), couple pizzas ( honestly tasted kind of like freezer cardboard boxes), bruschetta, and pigs in the blanket. It was all pretty average, but I was expecting something nicer. The waiters were hard to find with our large crowd and they weren't super friendly. There wasn't great communication across the waiters because some were saying we can only order beer and wine, Some were saying we can order cocktails, and some were saying our tab was already closed before our event even ended. I enjoyed the time with my friends, but I'm not sure I would want to come back again. I didn't go bowling, but I did have friends play who said it was fun. We ended up ordering some cocktails, which were good and I got the berry bliss mocktail which had real berries in it. read more

Upscale bowling alley with friendly service. I went there on a Thursday night and the place wasn't very crowded. Our service was great! The set up of the lanes is more upscale than a regular bowling alley which is a fun twist. Some of the food was good and some was just average but for a place like that it's what you would expect. It's a great place for a happy hour or a group outing. read more

A restaurant, a bar, a buffet, a bowling alley? This place truly has it all. Perfect for a date night or gathering with friends. $20 for bowling in this area does not seem to steep. $9 for bocce ball was absolute highway robbery and I loved every minute of it. This place stands out in an area that may be difficult to do so. I personally did not order any food but from all accounts of people within my party it lived up to expectations. read more

Overall great experience. We were seated very quickly and our waitress was great. We ordered all her recommendations and they were good. Our first flavor introduction were the pesto bread sticks. Needless to say, they were very much a great start to our meal. Bomb.com is what first comes to mind. My friend had the steak, eggs, and potatoes. Idk what they did to those potatoes but they were absolutely magical. I had the lobster & egg bruschetta. I didn't know what to expect with this as I've never had anything similar with the lobster mixture but it was a good first experience. Nice note is that hey have definitely perfected the taste of their breads. read more

We came here for our in laws annual Christmas party. We had two lanes, open bar and a decent selection of foods. Our party was large -- 22 people and our server handled all the drink orders with patience and grace. The bowling is standard-- no frills. Typical bowling alley, but the food we had, chili wings, burger sliders, chicken parm sandwiches and house salad were a step above your average bowling alley food. I'm not a huge bowler so can't say I'll be back, but if you like bowling and decent foood and drinks this would be a nice place to check out. read more

$350 for 6 people to bowl is highway robbery. The food was just ok, think bar food but served on a nice white plate. The time between orders is slow and as soon as your two hours is up a staff member will come over and immediately tell you to leave. Which would be fine... had we had the chance to pay first. Seems strange to rush people out while they are waiting on their checks. Maybe leave that up to the servers to communicate. It's more comfortable than a normal bowling alley with large leather couches, except you only get half a cramped lane so there is no space to move around. All in all I can't imagine coming back for the price. You can get a better experience elsewhere. read more

Since it's basically the only bowling alley in DC it definitely gets the job done. I just wish for the actual bowling alley itself it had a more bowling-friendly menu (finger foods like nachos and stuff like that) that's easier to eat when you're bowling. The staff is friendly but they get really busy so you're better off ordering multiple drinks at once bc it takes forever for them to come out. The actual bowling part itself works pretty much the same as anywhere else and they offer multiple different options for games other than your standard 10 pin (but we just stuck with that). Definitely a little pricey compared to your standard bowling alley, but still fun. read more
