Sleek Bowling and Bocce Venue in Walnut Creek Unveiled and Ready for Business
Yo, check it out!
That flashy new spot in Walnut Creek, finally opened its doors!
Pinstripes, the popular dining and entertainment company, has rolled into town and set up shop at the Broadway Plaza. Their grand opening happened on November 15, and we're stoked to have this upscale bowling and bocce bar in our backyard.
Pinstripes is a two-story, 25,000-square-foot venue, and it's their second Bay Area location, with the first being in San Mateo. They've got 18 locations nationwide, and this is just the start for Walnut Creek!
What's the Deal?
Pinstripes is all about blending Italian-American cuisine with entertainment, offering a modern and spacious setting. You can expect to find eight bowling lanes, two indoor bocce courts, and outdoor patios, perfect for both casual outings and upscale events.
Hungry? Guests can dine indoors or on the patios, complete with TVs for watching major sporting events. Private event spaces accommodate everything from small gatherings to massive parties for 1,500 people. And don't worry, Pinstripes plans on getting involved in the community, hosting events for local schools, sports teams, and social groups.
Food, Glorious Food!
The menu is chock-full of delicious Italian-American classics, made from scratch. Don't miss out on their hand-stretched pizzas, mouthwatering signature sandwiches, chef's entrees, and an assortment of pastas, soups, salads, and desserts. The Celebration Sundae sounds like a must-try!
Want to kick back with a drink? Choose from a curated wine list, craft beers, or handcrafted cocktails like the Margarita Italiano or Bourbon Refresh.
On weekends, Pinstripes offers a Pintastic Weekend Brunch Buffet from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Enjoy made-to-order omelets, a carving station with prime rib and maple-glazed ham, and even unique brunch options like Chicken and Goat Cheese Pasta. Bottomless mimosas with mix-and-match juices are also available.
Fun, Fun, and More Fun!
Beyond the dining table, Pinstripes has got you covered with bowling lanes and bocce courts for casual play or competitive matches. It's the perfect spot for family nights, date nights, and gatherings with friends. Pro tip: Reservations are recommended for both bowling and bocce, especially during peak times.
Private event spaces make Pinstripes an excellent choice for hosting everything from corporate meetings to weddings and birthday parties. The venue aims to host over 1,000 private events in its first year.
