This is a pretty decent venue for a corporate event in the city. They charge per table per hour rather than the number of people in your party, which was great for my work's social event - we were there more to socialize over an activity than to play a competitive ping pong tournament.
TIP #1: Have someone in your party organize a round robin tournament for your group. It makes ping pong more enjoyable for everyone and ensures everyone gets equal time at the table.
We also ended up ordering a bunch of share platters (open fire flatbread, all the (hogtown) grilled cheese, colombian empanadas) and drinks, but these really stood out to me:
- white sangria: these are amazing for only $8 (a bit steep, i know) a glass! They taste like twisted lemonades and my party ended up depleting their supply of sangria... whoops!
- open fire flatbread: what more could you ask for when you can get warm and toasty flatbread paired with a smooth and creamy hummus? definitely their best share platter that we tried.
- all the grilled cheese: while you only get 12 quartered + double stacked sandwiches, this is a great heartier share platter option. i love the pesto dipping sauce that comes with it!
TIP #2: Don't plan on having a whole meal at SPiN as their food and drinks can get quite pricy. Think of it more as shareable happy hour apps!
Overall, I definitely recommend this place for a corporate social event. It has a great atmosphere to mingle with your colleagues outside the office, and your company will likely cover the more expensive costs that come with the venue.
