“In 1971 I was ten years old and bowling. That’s when I got inspired ….. ten years old bowling in Cleveland…. it was great way to have fun and that’s how it got started,” said Dale Schwartz – Founder/CEO of Pinstripes at the Georgetown opening. “Georgetown is our fifth location. We started in Chicago. We are redefining entertainment in a really quality way – great food, great atmosphere, great service – just good community quality fun!”
Pinstripes is the latest addition to the newly renovated GTown Park that pretty much gobbles up the entire facility, occupying 34,000 square feet of first and second floor space where everything begins with a “B” – Bowling, Bocce and Bistro.
“We’re a community venue,” added Sandie Montgomery, event director for Pinstripes who flew in from Chicago. “Our food is terrific, phenomenal. We have our mom and tots in the morning, we have our corporate lunches and we also have a gorgeous ballroom that seats 250 people as well as our more intimate dining area bistro. We’re basically an Italian-American concept featuring a wine cellar of Italian wine.”
“This is another step in the renaissance of Georgetown, ” said mayoral candidate Jack Evans. “In these twenty three years (since he was elected to the Council), we have made it one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in the world. We have renovated, changed and taken this neighborhood and made it something that is friendly to residents and businesses – a testament to the leadership of this city. Come back and spend your tax dollars here. Have a wonderful time.”
