Dine and bowl with the family at Pinstripes in North Bethesda!

While we generally prefer to be outside, sometimes the weather dictates otherwise. During periods of heavy rain or extreme temperatures, bowling is a great family activity. Pinstripes really elevates the typical bowling experience of our childhoods, with a sophisticated vibe, a clean, comfortable space, and the added bonus of bocce courts. Each bowling lane accommodates up to 8 people and the bocce courts up to 10. Reservations are recommended as this is a super desirable and fun place to spend an afternoon!

Aside from the pleasing aesthetics, the bistro offers an unexpectedly good menu for a snack or a full meal. Their Italian-American cuisine is made in house each day using quality and locally sourced ingredients. They specialize in wood-fired pizzas and flatbreads, such as the prosciutto fig or chicken and avocado club. There is an awesome kid's menu as well. For $10 kids enjoy a starter, entree, dessert, and beverage and every Sunday after 5 pm kids eat for half-price with the purchase of an adult entree. Pinstripes in North Bethesda also maintains good happy hour options during the week from 3 - 6:30 pm, and Brunch on Saturday and Sunday.  They have also made a point to include options for every individual’s dietary needs with both vegan and gluten free options.

Whether the weather is just not cooperating, you’re looking for a new spin on a traditional activity, or you have family in town and are looking to have some quality time together — you can’t go wrong with Pinstripes!
