Pinstripes Inc., the best-in-class dining and entertainment concept, opened the doors of its first New Jersey location at Westfield Garden State Plaza, its 16th location nationwide. Officially open to the public, Pinstripes invites the community to enjoy a unique blend of chef driven Italian-American cuisine, handcrafted cocktails, and a modern “spin” on bowling and bocce. To celebrate its grand opening, Pinstripes will be offering guests who make an advanced reservation and visit Pinstripes February 16 – 23, 2024 FREE lunches served 11am -3pm and 50% off dinner 5pm – close.
The opening is just off the heels of Pinstripes going public on December 29, where the company raised more than $70 million in gross proceeds to support its growth, which includes plans to open in Orlando, Coral Gables and Walnut Creek by Q2 calendar 2024.
Last night, Pinstripes Paramus welcomed guests, partners and city dignitaries to its VIP grand opening party, the first of many events that the gaming, entertainment and event venue will host in its inaugural year. The celebration featured live entertainment, culinary highlights from its Italian-American menu, handcrafted cocktails, photo-worthy ice sculptures, bowling, bocce and a ceremonial ribbon-cutting with Pinstripes’ founder Dale Schwartz and Mayor Christopher DiPiazza.
Occupying 30,221 square feet of dining and gaming across two floors, Pinstripes Paramus’ ground-floor is home to a 107-seat bistro serving an extensive chef-driven menu with flavorful seasonal entrées, curated wine list, local beers and craft cocktails. Restaurant-style seating provides flexibility for guests to enjoy their meals at booths, tables surrounding the bar, or in front of big-screen TVs airing major sporting events on the expansive 137-seat, 2,044-square-foot patio. Pinstripes expects to host a high volume of private corporate and social events – with the target of 1,000 events within its first year of operation – making it a true social hub for the greater community.
“Pinstripes combines sophisticated fun with chef-driven cuisine to ensure everyone will find something they love. We’re excited to be the “home away from home” where guests can celebrate life while enjoying delicious food, entertainment and socializing.” said Dale Schwartz, Pinstripes Founder & CEO.
“We are proud to bring the first New Jersey Pinstripes location to the vibrant and lively destination at Garden State Plaza and look forward to adding our magic to the community.”
Pinstripes Paramus’ elevated menu of made-from-scratch recipes, conceptualized by Chief Culinary Officer Cesar Gutierrez and Executive Chef Douglas Geraghty, features house-made Italian-American classics, including rotating seasonal specialties prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Menu highlights include wood-fired pizzas and flatbreads, delectable sandwiches, and show-stopping chef entrées, making it a menu that has something for everyone. Guests are then invited to indulge in luxe desserts that will ensure a sweet ending to a sweeter experience!
