Pinstripes Debuts First Florida Location in Miami’s Esplanade at Aventura

Last night, Pinstripes Aventura welcomed more than 1,000 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 like the signature Margarita Italiano, photo-worthy ice sculptures, bowling, bocce and a ceremonial ribbon-cutting with Pinstripes founder Dale Schwartz, Feeding South Florida CEO Paco Velez and Aventura Chamber of Commerce Chairman Gary Pyott. A portion of the first week’s sales will be donated to Feeding South Florida, a local nonprofit dedicated to eradicating hunger in the Greater Miami area and beyond.

 

“Celebrations are part of our DNA here at Pinstripes,” said Schwartz “We’re excited to invite the entire Aventura community to celebrate what has set Pinstripes apart from other restaurant and entertainment concepts, and that’s our commitment to great Italian-American food, fun and games, and memorable events.”

 

Pinstripes Aventura spans 30,000 square feet over two floors, blending elevated dining with bowling and bocce excitement. The ground-floor “bistro” offers an extensive Italian-American menu featuring seasonal delights and craft cocktails amid vibrant art by Miami muralist Charity Matty Gangale.
