The condominium association dropped its opposition after reaching an agreement with the owners.
The Georgetown Park Mall is one big step closer to having a Pinstripes Bowling Alley after the Board of Zoning Adjustment unanimously approved a special exception application Tuesday. Pinstripes, a bowling alley cum bocce courts, restaurant and private event facility, will make Georgetown its first location in the DC area. The space on two levels in the Georgeotwnpark Mall will include 28,000 square feet on the bowling level.

Concerns over noise from a proposed bowling alley and restaurant dominated discussions Wednesday.
Georgetown's Advisory Neighborhood Commission unanimously opposed the application of Pinstripes to open a bowling alley in the Georgetown Park Mall until the business and the residents of the condos in the building reach an agreement on noise and other concerns. "The risks are simply too great that objectionable impacts will occur from the bowling operations, the intended special events for very large numbers of people and the proposed inclusion of outdoor activity space," according to the motion passed by the ANC Wednesday.

The condo board has decided to hire a third-party sound consultant …

A bowling alley could be coming to the Georgetown Park Mall.
A bowling alley and restaurant, Pinstripes, could be a tenant at the Georgetown Park Mall, according to DCist. The mall owners and the chain have filed an application with the D.C Board of Zoning Adjustment to allow the new amenity to occupy a large chunk of the mall, currently under renovation. According to DCist: "The plans envision a restaurant on the mall's first level—fronting Wisconsin Avenue—that seats 100, the 12 bowling lanes and three bocce courts. A second floor would include banquet rooms and two more bocce courts. Each game at Pinstripes' other locations cost $5 not including the $4 for shoes, while entrees range from $17 to $27."
