Che F.

I came here recently and was pleasantly surprised to see the space had been updated and renovated since the last time I went. The previous space wasn't bad at all but this new space is more of a lounge vibe. The music and food was great. I loved the board games at the tables for guests not playing ping pong or just waiting for their turn. The only thing I would suggest to be mindful of is that Mediterranean appetizer I ordered came with vegan cheese and I don't recall vegan being explicitly stated on the menu.

My husband and I made a 1-hour reservation at SPIN Flatiron last Saturday and had a great time. It wasn't our first SPIN location (we've been to one in DC), and we knew it was a great way to get some activity in during a day of shows. So between our matinee play and our evening musical (both Off-Broadway and near this SPIN location), we stopped by. SPIN isn't cheap (we paid $50 for our 1-hour reservation), but it's really fun. They have a bunch of ping pong tables and service at your table (food and drinks). We had a couple of beers while we played, and the service was friendly. Ping pong is a great way to get some exercise (maybe more so for me since I'm so bad and I'm running all over the place), and it was a great break from our artsy day. They weren't busy at 4:30pm on a Saturday, and it meant very quick service and lots of attention. Is it the cheapest way to spend an hour in NYC? Nope. But it's tons of fun.

Great fun in the city! Came for my cousins bday. They have food and a bar. Everything was fairly priced and you pay per hour for the ping pong. They also have a slew of other games like darts, shuffleboard, jenga, connect 4. They even had a Photo Booth! The venue itself has artwork throughout and was very spacious. There are workers who come by who are confidently cleaning up the balls and replenishing the buckets. At the entrance they had a small shop with merch and a ping pong beginner set that came with a paddle, balls and more. A definite recommendation if you enjoy a little bit of friendly competition! I had worked up a sweat after our hour!

We ordered some pizzas and enchiladas I believe. The food was tasty and the portions were sizable. The set up was 1 ping-pong table and 2 couches and 2 tables. The business idea of combining food and ping-ping is quite novel to me but i see how it works for large groups of friends. We played in turns and we socialized in turns. The space is clean and spacious. It's mind-blowing that you don't need to lift a ball from the floor because you always have access to infinite balls and ball-boys are swiftly moving around you to pick up the balls from the ground. Ballsy idea Definitely recommend - just double confirm that all guests are ready for some ping-pong humiliation granted that it is not the most popular game in the US. Will come back for sure. 4 stars because that waiter was 100% rude and on top of it all charged us with the the bill of another table..

This place was fantastic! I think it's perfect for a group outing or something spontaneous out with a friend. There are a lot of ping pong tables, along with a variety of other games such as connect 4, shuffle board, darts, etc. The food and drinks were good and the music was perfect. I came on a Saturday night and they had a DJ who played dance music.

They have the Pong video game too!

Super impressed with Spin. We booked a package for 6 people - 2 hours of ping pong, unlimited call drinks, Mediterranean platter and two pizzas for $70 per person. There's a coat check when you arrive which is helpful for these cold winter months. Upon check in, staff was super attentive and on the ball. We were shown our space and our server came over right away. Multiple times throughout the night, the manager came by to check on everything. Food and drinks were awesome. And our server came around frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. Ping pong was fun too - they have people going around collecting all of the balls that go flying so you don't need to spend time doing that. After the two hours was up, we opted to hang out at the bar on site. They did fun bar games and my friends won some prizes! Really impressed with the level of coordination here with the service. No one missed a beat. Staff was attentive and very present the whole evening. Had a great time for a reasonable cost! You can't say that about too many places these days. They have another bar on site called Marty's but it was closed for a private event. Looked nice! Will be back for sure.

Nothing because we killed the food! Haha

Found this spot on a whim. Who would've thought a ping pong ball would have such AMAZING food?! I had the shrimp tacos (best shrimp tacos I've ever had), and husband had the Korean BBQ sandwich. We shared her ahi sticky rice (highly recommend). Sara was very personable and friendly, great service! We will definitely by back next time we are in NYC!

I can't believe I've never been here! I went a couple weeks ago (Black Friday) and had a GREAT time. Vibe is very loungy, with numerous bars, ping pong tables, couches, and games throughout the venue. Food and drinks were priced appropriately and the waiter was always easy to find.

I hosted a private event here on Friday night at 7 PM. We worked with Laura to reserve the space in a semi private area. Laura made the process very easy and was very super open to answer any questions we had. The night of the event, we worked with Ty and Patrick who were both great and very friendly. The food that was passed around was also very tasty and a hit among our attendees. I loved their shrimp tacos the most. I was a bit disappointed about the semi private space because we were told there would be a curtain around it but we just had a small retractable barrier so there was a loud drunk group that ended up coming into our space but they were thankfully asked to leave by the staff after around 10 minutes. All in all, a nice option for a private social event - they even gave us a small discount because Friday nights were considered off peak time. Our group would definitely be interested in hosting another social event at SPIN!

Frozen Irish Coffee
John K.

Good customer service, but greatly understaffed, at least one the Saturday Night I went. Cause of that it was a long wait for drinks at the bar. Chill ambiance. Has a laid back vibe with all the games they offer. Ping pong etc. Food C+ Wings C+ Meh. Ok, but just ok.. Fries C Plain. Need more seasoning. The Chipotle sauce they comd with is killer(A), but the actual fries they come with (D) was a let down The frozen Irish Coffee was B+ Really good. Only thing stopping it from being an A was no whip cream or topping, and it's consistency was very chunky, but still it was real good

Help!
Tiffany H.

Great fun! Great music.! Very happy place to be. Most days is $50/table. Fries were a bit soft n not crispy, we had sparkling California Brut. $12/glass. Slightly sweet. Inga, the bartender was a bit rude, n short w us. If you're in the service business, you should be friendly n courteous.

I came to SPIN for a corporate team event. I like the ambiance of SPIN, it was large and had a number of activities you could do including ping pong, shuffle board and darts! The drink and food options were also pretty good!

Birria Bao Bun
Isabel A.

Spin is the ultimate spot for a fun night out with friends! Plenty of ping pong tables, plus extra games like darts and Jenga to keep things interesting. And as someone who loves a good photo booth, I really appreciate having a fun way to capture the night! We grabbed food at the bar, and let me tell you, the espresso martini was chef's kiss--smooth, bold, and exactly what you want. The birria bao buns? Absolutely to die for. Messy? Yes. Worth it? 100%.

It was my first time there but I was expecting the menu I saw online, not this new one. We tried 2 drinks: one inspired by Turkish figs and one inspired by lemons and the "Miracle Berry", which inverts your palate and turns sour into sweet! I really enjoyed both drinks. The figs one came with a sweet fig granola bite and the lemon one really did taste sweet after eating the "Miracle Berry"! I'd definitely come back to try their many other drinks.

I liked how they organized the menu by country/geography to facilitate an understanding of the flavor profiles. I got two of the date & fig-flavored smoked whisky drinks and it was a well made, balanced, and very good. Not cheap at some $25 or something, but middle of Manhattan with some creative ingredients means I guess it is what it is. Servers seemed a bit annoyed to have to deal with us shortly before close as I think they were hoping to usher people out and close down maybe a little early. One the one hand I get it, on the other hand you've got two paying customers on a slow night.

The unmarked entrance and doorbell immediately set the tone, and once inside it feels like you stepped out of Manhattan and into a dark, old New York cocktail lounge. The velvet seating, curtains, low lighting, and little private nooks make the whole place feel intimate without being gimmicky. That atmosphere is very much intentional. The Chelsea location is the original Raines Law Room and is built around that hidden speakeasy experience. The cocktails were beautifully presented, and I liked that this felt like a place where you could actually sit with friends and have a conversation rather than compete with loud music. We also ordered some meat, cheese, olives, and crackers for the table, which was perfect alongside the drinks without turning the night into a full dinner. What stood out most to me was how cohesive everything felt. The drinks, glassware, lighting, service style, and decor all fit the same mood. It feels refined and special without trying too hard. Pay special attention to the bathroom wall art. Definitely not an inexpensive night out, but for a true New York cocktail bar experience, I thought Raines Law Room was absolutely worth visiting. This would be especially good for a date night or drinks with a small group.

Patent Pending is has such cool speakeasy vibes, think dimmed lighting and candles at each table in a very intimate space. Our plan was to get wine and a cheese board however, the kitchen was closed due to a family emergency. We could only order chips or bar nuts with our drinks. Disappointing but what can you do? We ordered both the chips and bar nuts to go along with our drinks. And instead of wine, I opted for a cocktail! They have a pretty extensive cocktail menu with all these crazy concoctions. I went for the Strange Magic which was citrusy and refreshing. I'll definitely be back to visit again and hopefully next time will get the cheese board :)

It was dark when we entered the coffee shop but an ajar door gave way to the bar. The decor is a homage to the works of Nikola Tesla, which can be seen in the subtle electric theme throughout the space and the naming of the cocktails. The space isn't too large - the bar and stools take up most of the space but they also have some booths/tables. The place looks great. The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.

The menu consists of mostly small plates and is seafood forward, but we shared a petite dish of steak frites, tender and cooked perfectly medium rare. Our server was very sweet but service was slow on the night, and by the time we received our utensils the food was cold. However we were not rushed and were able to linger a bit to finish our conversation. For those who savor finely concocted cocktails paired with fresh raw bar offerings in a salon-like setting, this is the spot for you.
