[quote=Anonymous]We attended a birthday party there (Georgetown location) for my daughter's friend. I'd never even heard of it. The parents invited the kids' friends' parents to stay since it's a hike (we are all in Northern Va). It was great -- the kids, all middle schoolers, loved the bowling, and the parents played bocce in a separate area and ate. Kids had pizza and cupcakes that my daughter said were really good, and the hosts provided a LOT of great appetizers for the adults -- more than enough to be lunch.

Parking was fine though that could be a real issue on some days; there is a garage down by the river (one block from Pinstripes) and others parked in the garage at the shopping center where Pinstripes is located. There are also street spots (paid) down by the river. I would absolutely talk with Pinstripes management about best times for your party so that folks can get parking. The idea of parking in Georgetown can be daunting and you don't want to have guests circling trying to find a spot. It was fine on the day we were there. Bear in mind that you are asking your guests to pay for parking at your party. Even the garage for the shopping center charges. We didn't mind, and the hosts even offered to pay for parking but most folks turned them down, I think.

I would not do this for a party for a young child who doesn't care about how nice the lanes are etc. and whose party should be fairly short, both in time and in driving time. I do assume it was all very expensive for the hosts, and if you are just wanting to find a bowling party and aren't picky, you can go with the local bowling alley chains. Pinstripes is definitely classy and good if you have grown-ups staying. The middle schoolers thought it was extremely cool....[/quote]
