DJs, a balloon artist, corn hole, and bowling — along with a lot of pizza and beer — welcomed guests to the new Rock’n Dough Pizza & Brewery in the Edge District.
The more than 7,000-square-foot pizza palace at 704 Madison Avenue held soft openings as well as a charity day fundraiser for LeBonheur Children’s Hospital before holding its grand opening blowout on April 13th.
“We called it our grand opening party because it was our first major introduction to the neighborhood,” says general manager Joe Cogen.
The balloon artist and DJs were just part of the grand opening. The other attractions, which remain, include DuckPin Bowling (four-bowling lanes inside the restaurant) and corn hole. “Arcade-style basketball hoops” are slated to be installed in the future.
Between 225 and 250 guests were served. People partied inside and out. “Total seating, if you include all the indoor seats and outside, is 199.”
And they drank Rock’n Dough beer, which is brewed at Hub City Brewing in Jackson, Tennessee.
