Pinstripes, a unique restaurant chain with 16 locations across the U.S., has recently opened its doors in Paramus, New Jersey, offering a blend of bowling, bocce, Italian-American cuisine, and handcrafted cocktails. This establishment caters to a diverse crowd, from families to couples on a date or friends looking for a fun outing.
One of the standout features at Pinstripes is their bottomless brunch, available on Saturdays and Sundays. For $25 per person, guests can enjoy unlimited drinks for two hours, choosing from a selection that includes mimosas (orange, cranberry, or grapefruit), Aperol Spritz, and Berry Sangria.
During a visit on a rainy weekend day, the writer sampled all three bottomless cocktail options. The mimosa was described as fresh, bright, and bubbly, while the Berry Sangria offered a fun and fruity twist on the classic sangria. However, the favorite was the Aperol Spritz, praised for its light, flavorful, and slightly bitter taste, making it a perfect choice for a leisurely Sunday brunch.
Aside from the delightful cocktails, the brunch buffet featured a waffle station, carving station, shrimp, lox, breakfast staples like bacon and eggs, salads, and a variety of desserts, including a chocolate fountain for dipping treats like marshmallows and strawberries.
After brunch, guests can head downstairs for a game of bowling, with food and beverage service available at the lanes. The friendly staff provides shoe rentals and ensures a seamless experience for patrons. The writer recommends trying the Blueberry Mash cocktail on a return visit, featuring Stoli Blueberri, St. Germain, blueberries, mint, lime, and soda.
