Pinstripes opens first Central Florida location at Vineland Pointe

Pinstripes has opened its first Central Florida location with a ribbon cutting and grand opening party Friday, April 19, at Vineland Pointe.

The acclaimed experiential dining and entertainment destination features a full-service bistro, serving chef-driven, Italian-American cuisine and handcrafted cocktails, 16 bowling lanes, four indoor and outdoor bocce courts, two outdoor patios, and four private event spaces for groups of up to 1,000.

“Pinstripes is excited to open at Vineland Pointe, offering Orlando residents and visitors a new hotspot to revel in dining, entertainment and memories," Founder and CEO of Pinstripes Dale Schwartz said in a press release. "We extend a warm welcome to our inaugural guests in Orlando, inviting them to indulge in culinary delights, immersive entertainment and memorable gatherings.”

Stretching across two floors and measuring 34,000 square feet, Pinstripes' bistro seats 100 people and features an elevated menu with seasonal starters and entrées, a curated wine list, and handcrafted cocktails. 

Restaurant-style seating provides guests the flexibility to enjoy their meals at booths, tables surrounding the bar, or in front of big-screen TVs airing major sporting events on the 206-seat, 4,600-square-foot upstairs and downstairs outdoor patios. 

“As a distinctive, experiential venue, the addition of Pinstripes will enhance our shopping destination, providing our guests with yet another vibrant space to create memories with their loved ones," Peter Bergner, president of O’Connor Property Management, said. "Opening the first Pinstripes location in Orlando fills us with pride, and we look forward to introducing its sophisticated, fun atmosphere to our community.” 

Pinstripes officials said they expect to receive a high volume of private, corporate and social events, targeting over 1,000 events within the businesses' first year of operation. The venue is located close to attractions, including Sea World, Walt Disney World, the Orange County Convention Center and Universal Studios.

Pinstripes boats an elevated menu of made-from-scratch recipes, conceptualized by Chief Culinary Officer Cesar Gutierrez and Executive Chef Douglas Geraghty.

The menu features house-made, Italian-American classics, including rotating seasonal specialties prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Highlights include wood-fired pizzas and flatbreads; delectable sandwiches; chef entrées, such as the chicken parmesan or char-grilled rib-eye; and desserts such as an array of homemade Italian gelato or the brand’s classic tiramisu.

Pinstripes Orlando also will offer its famous Pintastic Weekend Brunch Buffet every Saturday and Sunday, as well as wines, a craft beer selection and handcrafted cocktails.

Pinstripes Orlando is open for lunch and dinner from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Sunday.

Happy hour is available from 3 to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and brunch is available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday. The business also offers off-site catering.
