Our Safety Plan-UPDATE 5-17-21

With changes to guidance by the CDC, the state of Florida and the cities and counties we serve, we are updating our plan. We suggest the use of masks but they are not mandated. We suggest physical distancing for everyone’s safety when feasible, and we are also following these procedures in order for our staff and guests to be as safe as possible. We will continually monitor requirements for the safety of our guests and staff, and we are happy to begin to return to some pre-COVID practices to make every visit a great time. Some practices adopted during COVID like eliminating standing in line for food and beverage service will continue because it is a better guest experience and we are happy to keep doing it. If at anytime, you would like to comment or request a change to how we are moving forward please do so at info@pinchasers.net.

  1. In accordance with the State of Florida, CDC, Hillsborough County, Pasco County and the City of Tampa COVID-19 ordinances, masks are optional for entry or while enjoying the facility for vaccinated guests. We will no longer enforce any mask requirements for guests. We do encourage their use for the time being for those concerned or for those that have not been vaccinated.
  2. Every bowling area will be cleaned and disinfected after each use and be cleaned and disinfected upon arrival for each guest or small group.
