North Adams Pub, Bowling Alley Have New Names, New Owners

Staff Reports
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The owners of Water Street Grill in Williamstown have expanded east by opening The Greatest of All Time (The GOAT) Sports Bar and Grill, now open seven days a week in the former Mingo's.
 
Eric and Hannah Reinhard, motivated by the new name, want to make the much-loved sports bar and bowling alley, now dubbed "Kingpins Bowling and Golf," the greatest it can be. 
 
"The GOAT is the greatest of all time. It's like an homage to the great athletes in every sport," Eric said. "Our logo is to be great, motivate yourself. It is a sports bar theme, but it is also a family place."
 
The Reinhards are steeped in the restaurant business in Berkshire County. Eric was an owner of the Freight Yard Pub from 1992 to 2000, opened Water Street Grill in 1996 and, before that, ran hotels, restaurants and a consulting company in New York, Massachusetts and the state of Florida. Hannah has more than 20 years of restaurant management experience. 
 
They purchased the entire property, including Greylock Bowl & Golf, in August from Osmin and Monica Alvarez, who've owned it since 2012. 
 
Eric said they were motivated after hearing the property was for sale.
 
The Reinhards stressed that they wanted to continue with the Alverez family's goal of ensuring the property continued as a bowling alley and family fun center for families to enjoy for years to come.
