We happened upon this fun place to be by accident while we were trying to get out of the rain. It is awesome! Games galore. Drinks are great ... and everyone was so happy to be here having fun! Ping Pong tables are for rent by the hour ... and all of the tables were full when we were there. The nachos and the Mediterranean platter were delicious and there was plenty to share. Our sever was friendly and helpful as he offered inside tips with us about Boston too. I recommend getting there before 9 PM... Because after 9:00, it gets really crowded. I don't think it's a secret anymore even though it's new. read more

I don't typically leave reviews as most places I visit already have multiple reviews that reflect my experience. SPIN has a good vibe, a lot of space for ping pong and other activities such as giant jenga and connect five. The bar and food were decent for noshes while playing the other activities. I want to love this place and it has so so much potential to being a fun staple in Seaport. However, there was some miscommunication and unnecessary escalation at the beginning of our visit. We had booked two tables and asked if they can be next to each other for our group. While it was not guaranteed that they'll be next to each other they ended up being at opposite ends of the venue. The host of our group asked if there were other ways we could get them closer, such as potentially swapping with some of the empty tables or other guests. The host was told no by staff but there was a group that was willing to swap with us. We thought it would be ok to swap. The general manager came over and immediately raised his voice and said to not to move his customers and then very rudely explained why not. The reasons were valid and was helpful for us to know as we had no idea how complex the booking system behind the scenes may be. As someone who has worked multiple customer service roles in the past myself, I can sympathize and just wanted to de-escalate the situation, get us talking at civil indoor voices. Our group can understand reason and are willing to reverse what we did if it really has that large of an impact by swapping. Each time I tried to speak, he silenced me, literally telling me "no", until I gave up and just waited for him to stop. I have never felt so unsafe in a Boston venue as I did in that moment There were numerous ways to communicate and I'm truly stunned it ended up the way it did. Again, the venue is great but the customer service has room for improvement read more

Fun date night! And love the ball "sweeper" machines the staff uses to pick up all the ping pong balls Gets crowded late night with the DJ, if that's your scene. read more

Took our boys soccer team to Spin Boston and what a fantastic experience. The staff is super attentive and the food was fantastic (steak tacos was my favorite). This is a terrific place, even if you don't play table tennis, and the artwork/decorations are brilliant. I found out that Spin supports local artists at all their pertinent locations. Located by the Boston seaport, this is a must "stop" during your trip. Thumbs up read more

See all

So much fun! We loved the ping pong and all the games they had to play. Go late and get the $9 after 9 deal!!

All good except the cost to use the pool tables. If this is their thing then cool, but to people who just happen into the spot it's weird to see it cost $40/hour when other restaurants will have them available to play for free read more

A hungry family of 7 stopped by for a meal and some ping pong. When we asked if kids are ok, we got an odd look and were told yes only until 8pm. Then we were told it would $49 an hour for ping pong. Nevermind. We decided to just eat. we were told to sit either at the bar or at the high tables by the bar. since we had kids, twin 15-year-olds , we decided to sit at the high tables. After about 5-10 minutes, someone came over and said something about no service at this table. She said she wanted to double check, she came and said there is service and someone would be with us. After another 5 to 10 minutes, no one came around or even looked in our direction. We took our money that we planned to spend on seven meals plus drinks to another restaurant. As we walked out, we let the hostess know that no one came around so we decided not to stay, and all we got was have a good day. Welcome to Boston! read more

Very awesome place. There was 15 of us in the group and we had a fantastic time. Almost all the appetizers were good. It catered to all that had a different tastes. read more

Great ambience and different unique spot to get competitive with ping pong and watch sports! Massive venue but really create vibe. Also the nachos are fantastic read more

I was celebrating my birthday at SPIN with a group of friends. This place had a really nice ambience and interior design. We had a lot of fun playing ping pong and the food was ok. However, it was very difficult or nearly impossible to book two tables for a big group. I made 2 reservations for two tables ($72 per table for two hours) and called specifically to ask if they could put the two tables together. They said they could try but can't guarantee. I thought ok, at least they can make an effort to put us closer. When we arrived the two tables were literally at opposite ends of the building. Seeing the many empty tables around, I asked if they could switch our tables so that our tables could be closer. They told me no and that the only way we could get the tables together was if we called their sales team ahead of time? This was new information to me, even though I've called them multiple times. No way was I going to split up my guests like this... So I took the liberty to ask one of customers next to us if they could switch with one of our tables. They were cool with it and so we did. Then the manager comes in angrily and tells us that he is very upset and that we can't do this. He was very aggressive about it and even made one of my guests cry. There were better ways for him to communicate this to us but the way he had done it was very unprofessional and rude. He also reduced the time for one of our tables from 2 hours to 1/2 an hour. In all, I think being to book two tables together should be a basic service offered. Whatever reservation system they have is very flawed and needs to be optimized. The blatantly hostile attitude we got from the manager was unacceptable and for this reason I will not be returning to SPIN Boston. Nonetheless, I'm leaving 3 stars instead 1 because our overall experience with the ping pong was still good despite the terrible customer service. read more

Bad service, mid food, NOT it. The staff was pretty rude to our party of 6. We ordered nachos and the waiter got distracted and left them at another table. The server proceeded to ask us if we still wanted them even though about 20 mins had passed of the nachos sitting in the cold. read more

Had a lot of fun here, as the atmosphere and ping pong equipment is all top notch and a great setup. Only issues were that the drink service at the tables was pretty slow, and the "ping pong helper" employee was quite pushy to get us to include him by explaining the rules, refereeing, etc. Seriously, we must have politely told this guy "no thanks, we're just here to hit around casually and have fun" like 5-6 times. Then at the end, as he walked away he muttered under his breath "fine, I guess you guys don't like having fun". Was pretty rude and pushy and overall left a bad taste in my group's mouth after that. read more

I love french fries. So when i went here i wasn't expecting anything special but wow these where amazing. The crispy crunch and the battering where off the charts. Drizzeld in the vinegar stuff it was amazing ymmy in my tummy. read more

SPIN Boston - so delish! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This is the best place to go with groups of people! I've gone for a friends birthday and with a group of coworkers. It's really fun and the staff are super nice! read more

Really fun atmosphere! The expresso martini rocks!!! Th games are super fun! Would definitely recommend.

This place sucks. Incredibly rude, impersonal service from management. The business model sucks--You're limited to a set time however you're waiting for your food/drinks which take forever and dip into your time? The place was also a ghost town and we were forced out because of another "reservation." The waiter/bar tenders were actually super nice and accommodating, but they need to work elsewhere if that's their management. Would rather play ping pong in a musty college basement. read more

Fun place! They take reservations by the hour to rent a table. Full bar inside with great drinks. Food was good as well. Friendly and prompt service. Really loved the wall murals - super cool! Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun activity for an hour or two. read more

THE BEST. We had to reschedule an event due to COVID and the event planner, Jennifer Hayward was great at helping us thru the entire process - super prompt in all calls and email responses. We hosted a company happy hour & ping pong event in the back room. The service from the food to the bartenders was unmatched. I was getting phenomenal feedback all night and the next day about the food, overall set up of the room, and the customer service. HIGHLY recommend working with Jennifer from SPIN for your next event! read more

I just hosted a company event here and the experience was seamless, fun, and we will 100% be returning! The pre-event staff (Dana) was incredibly responsive, accommodating to my on the fly changes, and knew exactly what we were looking for. The team on the ground had us covered, checked in frequently, and was even able to extend the group's time/tab because we were having such a wonderful time. For those who weren't into ping pong, there were tons of photo ops, giant UNO and Connect Four, and plenty of space to mingle/sit. 10/10 book this place if you're looking to host a corporate outing, party, or just head out with friends. read more

This place is great! Came here last night with a group of people and it exceeded expectations. One stop shop for fun, good food and service, and atmosphere. The ping pong tables are perfect, you don't have to chase your balls- people who claimed to not want to play had a blast! I didn't have high expectations for the food at a ping pong bar and let me tell you...some of the best sliders I've had- they weren't those typical thin tiny sliders- they were perfectly cooked medium rare on the softest bun. We tried a bunch of apps and all were very good. Staff was very attentive, always making sure we had drinks, balls were always filled and the place is very cool on the inside. Love it all, can't wait to go back! read more

What a great place for a fun night out. The service is incredible, food and cocktails are amazing, beautiful art and such a unique vibe! Looking forward to go back read more
