Pinstripes

Experiential dining and entertainment with bowling

Overview

Pinstripes combines Italian-American cuisine with social entertainment by offering bowling, bocce, and private event spaces in addition to dining. Guests experience a meal and entertainment in a single venue, with options for groups ranging from 20 to 1,000 people, typically in a multi‑room setting that supports gatherings and celebrations. The product works as an integrated venue: customers order food and drinks from a curated menu while playing lanes of bowling or bocce, and/or reserving private event spaces for meetings, parties, or corporate events. Pinstripes differentiates itself from competitors by delivering a multi‑purpose, one‑stop experience that blends dining with interactive games and scalable event space across eight locations. Its goal is to grow its footprint while providing memorable social experiences through a combination of cuisine, sport-adjacent activities, and private venues for groups.

Entertainment destination Pinstripes returns to Orlando with new ownership and expanded offerings.

Entertainment destination Pinstripes returns to Orlando with new ownership and expanded offerings. The family-friendly venue will return to Vineland Pointe with refreshed entertainment, games and dining as new ownership invests in the brand. Published Date: November 4, 2026, 5:33 AM EST Pinstripes, the family-friendly experiential dining and entertainment destination known for its chef-driven menu of classic American cuisine and bowling, has announced it will return to Orlando this fall. Now under new ownership, the location is reopening on Wednesday, November 11 at Vineland Pointe, located at 11643 Daryl Carter Pkwy. "We are very pleased to bring Pinstripes back to Orlando to once again be part of this dynamic marketplace," said Chairman and CEO, Robert Cornog, Jr in a statement. "This reopening reflects not only our confidence in the Pinstripes brand and business, but also this location. We look forward to welcoming guests back this fall, as well as the opportunity to reintroduce our distinctive combination of chef-driven dining, entertainment and hospitality to the local community and visitors alike." Fully renovated, Pinstripes Orlando's two-story, 29,000 square foot venue will feature refreshed games and entertainment. While its 16 signature bowling lanes will remain, new activities will be featured throughout as Pinstripes introduces a number of family-friendly games. The upgrades extend to the Pinstripes patio, which will now feature enhanced seating and new activities such as outdoor pool tables. The bar and lounge will also add Augmented Reality Darts, expanding entertainment offerings throughout the entirety of the venue. These enhancements give every guest the opportunity to "create their own" personalized experience. In addition to the venue's games and entertainment, Pinstripes Orlando will offer a refreshed calendar of year-round programming ranging from family-friendly activations to grown-up fun. Music Bingo will launch on Nov. 19 and take place weekly on Thursdays, inviting guests to test their music knowledge with some healthy competition. Sips & Sounds, Pinstripes' weekly live music series featuring local musicians, will begin Friday, Nov. 20, hosted on the patio from 6:30-9:30 p.m. Returning to Pinstripes in January, Kids Club will be offered on the second Saturday of each month, inviting families to enjoy one hour of kid-friendly activities before brunch. The free event includes a complimentary brunch voucher for kids to enjoy the same day. Later this fall, Pinstripes will bring its Santa Brunch to Orlando for the holiday season, starting on Saturday, Nov. 28. Adding to the experience, Pinstripes Orlando will offer its signature, chef-driven menu that brings approachable, elevated dining to the destination. The menu features a range of shareable starters, fresh salads, wood-fired pizzas, sandwiches, burgers, pastas and entrées, alongside indulgent desserts designed for everything from casual gatherings to celebrations. Guests can pair their meal with a selection of classic and specialty cocktails, wines and beers, making the dining area and bar a natural gathering place before or after a round of games. On weekends, Pinstripes offers a signature brunch experience, featuring favorites such as chicken and waffles, shrimp cocktail, breakfast pizza and baked goods, alongside interactive stations including made-to-order omelets and fresh-carved prime rib. Pinstripes was acquired by the parent company of another "eatertainment" fixture, Punch Bowl Social, in November 2025, and its return to Central Florida is fueled by the new ownership's investment in the brand through refreshed spaces, enhanced programming, upgraded activities, and revamped food and beverage offerings. Pinstripes Orlando will be the first location to implement these upgrades which will roll out across the portfolio in the coming year. Peter Bergner, a representative of Vineland Pointe's ownership, added, "We are excited to welcome Pinstripes back to Vineland Point - it is a great addition to the trade area. The new Pinstripes team has been a great partner in re-opening the location and we are confident in the location's future success." Love its content?
