Pinstripes files for bankruptcy, closing 10 locations including Vineland Pointe, Orlando

Pinstripes, the upscale entertainment venue offering dining, bowling and bocce, has s filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, after amassing a debt of about $143 million.

Pinstripes Orlando Bowling & Bocce, a dining and entertainment destination, opened in a blaze of publicity at Vineland Pointe in Orlando, on Saturday, April 20, 2024.

Now a little over a year later the location has been shuttered, leaving customers, and employees in shock.

Based in Illinois, Pinstripes Holdings Inc filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Monday, Sept. 8, after amassing a debt of about $143 million.

To help stay afloat, Pinstripes has closed 10 of its 18 locations, including the Orlando location at 11643 Daryl Carter Parkway, and is seeking a buyer to keep the remaining eight locations open.

“Pinstripes Holdings Inc.has taken an important step to secure our future by voluntarily filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and closing some locations, with the support of our lenders,” Pinstripes said in a social media statement.

The Orlando location featured 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.

Occupying 34,000 sq. ft. of dining and gaming across two floors, Pinstripes Orlando’s 100-seat bistro featured an elevated menu with enticing seasonal starters and entrées, a thoughtfully curated wine list and handcrafted cocktails. Restaurant-style seating provided 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 expansive 206-seat, 4,600-square-foot upstairs and downstairs outdoor patios.
