Plano residents looking for a fresh way to combine recreation and dining have a new option. Sip’Stroke Lounge, located in the city’s dining district, has added a Full Swing golf simulator that seats up to six people and an indoor putt‑putt course that winds through its bar and restaurant space.
Golf meets gastronomy
The lounge’s golf offerings are designed for both casual players and serious enthusiasts. Owner Kushal Bastakoti says the simulator provides access to world‑class courses, allowing guests to practice swings or enjoy a friendly competition without leaving the city. The indoor putt‑putt course adds a playful element for families, groups of friends, and even corporate outings.
While the golf experience is a centerpiece, the menu aims to attract diners who appreciate quality food. Signature items include Saffron Coast Salmon, Cabernet‑braised short rib, and the Sipstroke Burger, which comes topped with truffle aioli and a side of fries. The lounge also offers classic shareable plates such as signature wings and prime wagyu sliders, making it a versatile spot for a quick bite or a full evening out.
Local ownership and expansion
Bastakoti, who also owns Skyline Lounge in Dallas, sees Sip’Stroke as an extension of his commitment to creating community‑focused venues. “We wanted a place where families can enjoy a meal together and kids can have fun playing putt‑putt while parents try a few virtual holes,” he explained. The addition of the golf simulator aligns with a growing trend of experiential dining, where entertainment and food combine to keep patrons engaged longer.
Local businesses have welcomed the concept, noting that it adds a unique attraction to Plano’s already vibrant restaurant scene. The lounge’s location makes it convenient for nearby office workers seeking a post‑work activity, as well as weekend families looking for a low‑key outing.
What to expect
Guests can reserve a simulator bay in advance or walk in, depending on availability. The lounge operates with standard dining hours, and the bar offers a selection of craft beers, wines, and cocktails that complement the menu’s upscale flavor profile. With the indoor putt‑putt course weaving through the dining area, patrons can watch the action while enjoying their meals.
Overall, Sip’Stroke Lounge provides Plano with a novel blend of sport and cuisine, reinforcing the city’s reputation for innovative local businesses that cater to families, golf enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a lively dining atmosphere.
