Off Center

Last night was never supposed to happen quite the way it did... and maybe that's exactly why it was perfect. 👌🏽

To everyone who found their way to Off Center for our very unofficial, very pop-up opening—thank you.

The laughter around the fire 🔥 pits, the conversations that lingered a little longer than planned, the clink of glasses 🥃 under the lights... it was exactly the soul shine we needed. A reminder of why we dreamed up this little hideaway in the first place. 🩶

We're not quite there yet 🤏🏽. There are still a few final details to tackle, a few finishing touches to add, and a few more boxes to check ✔️ before we're ready to officially welcome you for the season. But last night reminded us that the heart of this place has always been the people who fill it.

A huge thank you to Marc Andrew Scott for jumping in on almost no notice and giving us a night of music that felt like it belonged there all along.

And thank you to Raymond Miller for lending a hand moving furniture and helping us bring another piece of the vision to life.

It truly takes a village. A family. A community.
And we are incredibly grateful 🥹 for ours.
We're going to keep building, creating, tweaking, and preparing the best experience we possibly can. The official season is just around the corner. 👏🏽

Until then... keep your eyes peeled for the next opening.

🚨 And feel free to share this post—but only with the people you want to know.

🤫 Because if you know, you're in. 😉 ✨

🥃 UPDATE 🍷 🎸

🩶 We have continued jumping through the hoops, following every guideline handed to us, revising plans, attending meetings, and holding tightly to the vision of what Off Center can be for this community.
Unfortunately, we’ve hit yet another extended pause in the process.

With sore hearts 🥀 , and still a little hope left in our pockets, we’ve made the difficult decision not to announce an opening date at this time. Realistically, we do not anticipate opening until later in the summer season. 🍁

🙏🏼 We cannot begin to explain how much your excitement, support, messages, and belief in this little hidden gem have meant to us.

☝🏽 We only ask one thing… don’t give up on us yet.

‼️ In the meantime, we’re bringing all of our incredibly awesome musical guests inside Mt. Airy Lanes and we truly hope you’ll join us there. You don’t have to bowl… but it just might stir up a few memories. 🥰
Come enjoy delicious cocktails, good bourbon 🥃 , awesome food, and even better people while we wait for the next chapter together 🖤

We still believe in the magic 💫 of Off Center.
🤫 And if you know, you’re in 😉 🖤

We see you… waiting, watching, probably checking the page 👀

Trust us — we’re just as ready to open the gates as you are. 🙏🏼

We’re working through the final few hoops ⭕️ and so close to the green light. We’re hoping to have some really good news for you… like, very soon. 🤞🏽

In the meantime — let’s be honest — the weather isn’t quite giving Off Center energy yet anyway. So we’re bringing the vibe back to where it all started 🫶🏽… inside at Mt Airy Bowling Center
✨ Friday | 6–9PM
Garage funk is BACK with Skribe bringing those wild, feel-good sounds
UNION Craft Brewing in the house with samples + merch

🎤 Sunday | 1–4PM
Mic is up with Logan Chalk 🎸
(seriously… catch him now before he outgrows Maryland) loganchalkmusic

No bowling necessary.
No pressure.

Just space for good people, great food, strong drinks, and even better vibes.

We’ll meet you inside… for now.
If you know, you’re in.

We’re Recruiting at Off Center. 📍
(Bringing our team up to match our vibe…)

✋🏽This is not a “just pick up a shift and collect a paycheck” kind of job.
Yes—pay matters.
Yes—this role will fill your pockets.
But that’s not what we’re building here.

Off Center is something different.

There is also an immediate opportunity to step into a lead role—
to help guide the experience, set the tone, and foster what we are building together from the ground up.

This is an opportunity to step into something new in Mt. Airy—
to help shape an experience, create moments, and leave a mark.

⚠️ Requirements:
• Bartending & hospitality experience
• 21+
• Weekend availability is a must
• Self-driven with the ability to pivot in a fast-moving environment
• Kind, dependable, hardworking, and heart-centered
🛑 If you’re looking for a job, this may not be it.
👉🏽If you’re looking for a place to belong, build, and grow—we’d love to meet you.

We’re hopeful 🙏🏼 for a smooth path ahead so we can finally share everything we’ve been building for you. 😍

💫 Trust us… it’s worth the wait.

We’ll keep you updated every step of the way, and in the meantime—don’t go anywhere.

Because you already know and…

🤫 if you know, you’re in 😉
