45 minute wait to order drinks with all three bars operating at full service. Management should not be hosting events their staff cannot accommodate.The actual drink was good, once I was able to order it.Atmosphere seems cool, and the location is spacious.

Had an amazing experience here. Hosted a corporate event with over 450 people. The entire staff had it together from the jump. So well planned out for the number of people we had and the manager (Megan) and supporting staff was absolutely amazing throughout the entirety of the event. Overall such a great experience from booking to planning to execution. Would absolutely recommend! Our guests had a blast here!

Go for: Surprisingly good food and an extensive beer selection while lounging and playing ping pong with friends.Avoid if: You don't want to play ping pong while listening to loud hip-hop and electronic music exclusively with a crowd of "young professionals."Something surprising: The establishment was huge, well-run, and if you let your guard down a little, it's actually a lot of fun.Reservation needed? Friday-Saturday, yes. Plan ahead.Overall . The food and beers are great and the ping pong is a blast. However, the multiple bars, numerous lounge areas, and music that's so-loud-you-have-to-shout make it feel like a nightclub that never was. Go on the weekends around the rush periods (mid-afternoon, after dinnertime).Value for Price: 3Sanitation: 4Food Quality: 4Menu Precision: 4Service Quality: 4Timing: 3Decor: 4Access: 3—5 among the best4 strong3 not too bad2 mediocre1 never again

Came for a company event. Naturally, people divide into groups that actually play ping pong and groups that just mingle and eat. There are food stations, as well as staff who come around with hors d'oeuvre. They take your plates and any trash as well, but it would have been more convenient if there were trash cans/a dedicated tray area so that you don’t have to wait around. However, the staff was very diligent on keeping the place clean throughout the night, so thank you!The food was average:- The flatbread tastes better fresh.- The chicken and waffles were my favorite.- The samosas weren’t bad either.- The shrimp tacos were very cute.- The sliders were heavy and didn’t seem to be a crowd favorite, but if you’re hungry, they would be the most filling.- The macarons were good, and there were a handful of flavors.At one point, there was a guy taking drink orders behind the bar, but he didn’t actually work there, which was weird.It gets pretty loud, so it’s hard to have conversations without shouting, but that is expected, as the place is big enough to accommodate several large parties.

I was a guest at a company event on 1/11/2024 - so no comment on prices. I came for the Ping Pong and it did not disappoint. We had I believe nine tables available which was just right for consistently finding space to play. Tons of balls available and there were consistently people taking them off the floor. Sufficient amount of space around the tables and all the equipment was great quality and mostly in great shape. The star of the show in terms of service was the guy running a tournament for us, on his feet for several hours and on the mic nonstop announcing and changing goals on-the-fly to make sure the tournament finished roughly on time. I didn't get his name but he was awesome, he deserves a bonus!Food: Service for food was also great and the staff kept the place extremely clean during such a busy event. Shoutout again to amazing staff. The food IMO was far too heavy on cheese and not a suitable replacement for dinner, neither in quantity nor ingredients. I would suggest guests for a company event have a light meal beforehand, then take some time to digest and play ping pong a bit later. I had to eat some leftovers later to fill me up. I didn't drink so I can't comment on the alcohol, but there was water readily available everywhere. I was trying to avoid getting sick and would have preferred food with more bread, vegetables, and/or fruit. I will say the seared peppers were quite nice.Other random comments: The DJ was better than average. The speakers were club volume which I'm not a fan of; my ears are ringing today and I could hardly hear anyone except (thankfully) for the announcer. The coat check was efficiently-run. The restrooms have an unusual layout with a central hand washing area connected to the separated male, female, and gender-neutral rooms. I saw several people getting confused walking in there, but once one got used to it, it's actually practical. I think signage could be improved somehow (maybe just "ALL RESTROOMS"? It's not really a huge problem though) and in addition, would suggest putting a sign separating parties because there was nothing indicating multiple parties were happening at once and one could easily accidentally walk into another space with no clue that it's not allowed.Thanks management for a fun time.

Edited:Great food and bar staff. I was frustrated by ping pong table booking on a busy night after a long day of traveling and left a negative comment. The owner responded almost immediately to make things right.Thank you.

I booked a table at Spin for my friend and I. Despite our tardiness, the staff was incredibly accommodating. Parking was a bit challenging but that's expected considering the location. Upon our arrival, the staff walked us over to our table and we immediately started playing since we had the table reserved for an hour. The atmosphere was just right- not too crowded not too empty and it's very pretty in there with the perfect lighting. We decided on nachos, yuca fries and drinks for our meal. The food and drinks were good and we had a great time. I really appreciate the concept of Spin making it a perfect spot for hanging out with friend or having a date night. Must visit!

So much fun!! Whether you're coming here to play some ping pong or shuffle board it's such a vibrant place to come and gather with coworkers or friends. Ping pong is charged by the half hour or hour and shuffle board is free! There's tons of ping pong tables so don't worry about space. There's a few bars through out the space as well as a food menu so you can eat, drink, and play! They're open late as well so it's a nice late night spot for some fun.

Average food and service. Cocktails were watered down. Actually, cocktails tasted like mocktails.
