I recently attended a work function here and had a good time. I never really played much ping pong but enjoyed playing. The real surprise came from the better than average food, excellent service and a few good beer options.
One question - Is it a bad sign if you work up a sweat playing ping pong??????
Spin is massive with too many tables to count. I love the fact that they give you a bucket of balls so you don't have to chase your single ball around all night. People actually have a job there picking up stray balls with a cool sweeping contraption.
Spin appeals to a broad audience so expect a mixed crowd. There were a number of "suit" office events, students, people on dates and die hard ping pong players (and a few dressed the part). They have a lounge area you can reserve for larger parties but it only comes with one ping pong table.
Service was a real standout - everyone was friendly, they were quick to bring out food and very efficient servicing a large number of customers at the bar.
We ordered a number of appetizers for our party and they were surprisingly good. I loved the Philly cheese steak - a skewer with beef, green peppers and warm cheese. Pulled Pork sliders were also a standout. Mixed feelings about the jalapeno corn bread. We also ordered multiple cheese, veggie and fruit plates which were all a hit.
Not a huge drink selection but sufficient. They had Blanche du Chambly in bottle and one or two German beers on tap. They served 5 wine options in either red or white and a number of cocktails.
I expected to hate this evening but it was very much the opposite. Good food, drinks for all tastes, the huge space ensures no overcrowding and competitive fun for all.
PS - Expect to be hit with flying ping pong balls 184 times per visit.... but they don't hurt.
