The venue said it plans to take advantage of Orlando being a top convention destination in the U.S., pledging that over 1,000 events will take place at Pinstripes within its first year of operation, the release states.
Meanwhile, Pinstripes offers lunch, dinner and brunch on the weekends. It serves Italian-American dishes such as wood-fired pizzas, gelato, baked lasagna and tiramisu.
The restaurant also serves beer from local breweries such as Ivanhoe Brewing and Crooked Can Brewing.
This is Pinstripes’ second location in Florida, as it has another restaurant in Miami. According to a spokesperson for the brand, it has plans to open a Coral Gables location in the summer and a Jacksonville location in the fall.
“With 16 open venues in 10 states to date, we have a tremendous whitespace ahead of us, with the potential for at least 150 total locations domestically,” Pinstripes Founder and CEO Dale Schwartz said in a previously prepared statement.
