We went there with a group of 18 people early evening. I don't have any other similar places to compare SPIN to but to many of us the rental price for the ping pong tables seemed overpriced with $55/h. Also, we ordered a share platter from their menu and it was a ridiculously small portion for the price we paid. So we had half a chicken (it was just a few small pieces chicken breast and two wings or so), with some fries, gravy and two buns and they charged and still do $50(!) for that! None of us could believe it and thought it was highway robbery. The evening was fun but I wouldn't go there to enjoy their overpriced, mediocre food. read more

Been to Spin a few times now and it's always been a great time! This time hosted a corporate event here on very short notice for 50 people. Dealt with Jordyn, who ensured that the event was a success. When we got to Spin, the team was excellent in setting us up for the event and catering food and drinks. The grilled cheese, chicken meatballs, tuna poke and sangria got great reviews. Everyone had a great time! Would definitely recommend! Overall, great atmosphere, decent food/drinks, good space and great service! read more

Who knew that douche bags liked ping pong so much? It seems as though the bright orange balls attract their feeble minds like catnip. Don't you dare call it a Ping Pong place. It's a "social club". If by "social" you mean "Ping Pong". I couldn't figure the place out. You can probably buy your own ping pong table for your home at around the price of a round of beer here. The aesthetic is warehouse-chic. The tables seem well lit. The crowd is a mix of "Bridge and Tunnel" and "King Street Vomit". Everyone's so quick to let you know that famed Hollywood grandmother Susan Sarandon is an investor in this spot. I'm still not quite so sure why this is relevant. I have no idea what she has to do with either bars or ping pong. I mean, that's like saying that a plug-in electrical grill can be marketed based on it's loose connection with a former Heavyweight champ. Ludicrous. I had the fish tacos. They were totally adequate, perhaps a notch above standard pub fare. I ate them while watching two people playing ping pong. Neither of whom was Susan Sarandon. How did they think up this place? How did they convince a legitimate financial institution to back this ridiculous premise? I truly left more confused than when I entered. read more

I was a little skeptical of coming to this place for a recent birthday. Once I heard it was around the King and Portland area on a Friday night all I could think about was drunken 20 year olds all up in my grill. Plus I really suck at ping-pong. But I was pleasantly surprised, for a bit... Showed up to the venue around 8pm and took a couple of minutes to locate it. There's a small sign on King Street pointing towards the alleyway but walking through there still made me confused. I kept going and sure enough I saw the Spin sign pointing down some stairs. They even had one of those sliding peephole things you see in the movies, though it wasn't being used. No password needed. Walked in and the girls at the reception desk greeted me. I told them my friends had reserved a table and they smiled and said to walk right in. They had a stack of old television sets displayed on the ground playing The Big Lebowski. Nice touch. Also in the front area was a display case of ping-pong accessories. Another nice touch. The place is pretty massive and it was cool seeing so many people deep into games of ping-pong. The black lights were in full effect, but from what I heard this isn't an everyday occurrence so not sure what the lighting is usually. Found my friends, said hello, and proceeded to the bar for a pint. They had a dozen good beers on tap (I counted) and a glass of Creemore was 7 bucks, which is decent. The bartender was very nice and polite. There was also an absolutely stunning server who would check up on our table and ask for drinks. She was so amazing I almost asked her out, which is totally not my style but I was pretty mesmerized. They have these guys who go around collecting balls with this little net. It's pretty cool because you can basically just go about and play your games and not worry about stray ping-pong balls as they just swoop them up and drop them back into the bucket next to your table. Very cool. They even seem to have some sort of VIP ping pong table if you're fancy. Oh, and free coat check! From around 8pm to 10pm they were playing amazing soul music. Stuff like Otis Redding and Smokey Robinson. The music definitely played a big role in how much I was enjoying myself. But when after that the shitty dance music started to pipe through the speakers. Started off with some wack remix of Notorious BIG and then I started to see the club kids slowly wander in. We stayed for another hour and bounced at 11pm and the place was pretty bumping at that point, but the vibe had completely changed. I loved this place early on when the music and people were perfect, but I can see it becoming a questionable experience during late-night hours. I would love to come back and practice my pong skills but I'm going to do some research and find out the best times to come back when the music is tight. read more

My husband surprised me on a date night here for some ping-pong fun. I must say, I am not am avid ping-pong player...this was actually my first time playing ever! It is very quaint, dark, evening type atmosphere with a bar, had an industrial style. Their appetizers were delicious (although pricey). We ordered the prawn sliders and the falafel sliders. The prawn ones were soooo good! The service was quick, the wait was not long at all to get our ping pong table or for the food. The place is pretty large (can accommodate large groups). It also seemed like you could book party rooms that are somewhat separate for your party. Overall, we had a great time, we paid for one hour of ping-pong, had some food, no drinks (we both don't drink). Nobody bothered us, there wasn't anyone annoying or loud nearby. So our experience was pleasant and we would definitely go back :) read more

It's a fun night out in the city! We stopped by here one night, completely unplanned. Originally we were headed to a club, but since most of them had lineups, we stumbled across spin and decided to try it out for some ping pong fun. We managed to grab a room and paid for an hour, which was reasonably priced. They provide you with racquets and balls - so many balls, so you don't need to worry about that. There's music, drinks, and tables everywhere - definitely not how we planned to spend the night, but ended up being an awesome night out! Overall, I would recommend SPiN to a friend - especially those who are competitive with sports and love to drink and dance! read more

SPiN Toronto is one of the newest and most exciting additions to Toronto. SPiN is a ping-pong social club - a place to play the game, meet new people, have a few drinks (and great food as well). Ping-pong no longer needs to be confined to your uncle's dark basement - SPiN is a more like bar/lounge meets table tennis dojo. Sip back a variety of local, import and micro-brews while challenging you friends to a game (or 3). Full bar and menu means that SPiN is a place you can stay for quite a long time. The minute I heard SPiN was coming to Toronto I joined the club and made sure I kept my ear to the ground for it to open. It is now open (yay!) and the grand opening event is scheduled to be sometime in October. For members the club will offer tournaments, ladders, clinics and other benefits. For non-members - you can still play, just show up and request a table (I think I counted 12 tables total). SPiN is open to the public! Overall SPiN is a great time out! A funky/cool atmosphere, great drinks and food and ping-pong! What more can someone ask for? I think SPiN is my new hang-out. I'm not that good at ping-pong (yet) but I'll be on the pro circuit in no time. read more

I start my February food-free challenge with the ultimate SPIN GALACTIC only because I've come to realize that the LCBO doesn't qualify and I'm not sure if a yelp event involving food counts either. So I will really base my review on my two experiences I had ping ponging it up in the newest night life activity in the city of Toronto. I think that ping pong tables speak for themselves. If you play and have people who want to play with you, I don't see how you couldn't give it 5 stars... but I'm talking about the establishment, the overall business and I have to say that it is lucky to be getting 3 stars at all. On two occasions, my experience was meh, although favoured towards me as the end result so I guess they will get that extra A-OK from me. Experience 1 - came for a friend's birthday knowing that we were going to get the private room, only to get the call 2 hours before the event that they were double booked.... no they weren't - apparently, the Maple leafs players were going to show up later in the night so they moved our party out. As a result, I ended up playing underneath a leaking pipe. The manager propped a cup in between the dripping to prevent it from getting it on the table or the floor, but I really consider it a safety hazard, and increased no-fun points because the ball was splashing water every time it hit the table. Experience 2 - finding out that I am getting charged $60 an hour for a table just to RESERVE a table!!!!!! If you walk in to play for an hour, it's $28, but if you want to secure your spot, that's double your money. I think that's a little too rich for my money. They are already making so much money off of food and drinks. Unless you get a huge group of people who won't get that much playing time, it would cost a fair amount just to have 60 minutes of play time. I think they attract the corporate events at this place, which I totally give them kudos for. But I can buy a ping pong table for $100 and play until the cows come home. I think this place is awesome, but just things that seem a little unreasonable. that's just my take. Now I wish I had more money :( read more

Came here for a company Christmas party. Evening was good, service was quick and drinks were plentiful. However, one of our co-workers was kicked out for "being too intoxicated." Who's judgment call? Shouldn't that be up to our managers? She was also denied the washroom, a BASIC HUMAN FUCKING RIGHT and was told to walk down the street to the nearest gas station. When asked to speak with the manager, he was nowhere to be found. Pathetic, I won't be coming back to this trashy establishment. read more

As an avid ping pong player and aficionado this is one of my favourite venues in the city, on 3rd thought it just might be my absolute favourite. A few years back I visited SPiN NYC and was blown away by the concept of a ping pong social club. Ever since the TO location opened up I have been nearly weekly. It is important to know the rates before visiting SPiN, see below for the details. Walk-In Rates Before 5pm General Public: $20 per hour $10 per half hour Member Rate: $10 per hour $5 per half hour Walk-In Rates After 5pm General Public: $28 per hour $14 per half hour Member Rate: $14 per hour $7 per half hour So let's say you walk into SPiN with a buddy on a Tuesday night and get a table, you're looking at $28/hr which some may find it expensive. However, for the ambiance, atmosphere, chic design and notion that you never have to pick your balls up off the floor, other may find it attractive. I am one of those guys. If you are a ping pong lover this will be your Neverland. There is a bar with both domestic and import beers on tap, various cocktails and solid grub to hold you over and great for sharing. Be forewarned, trying to walk into SPiN Thurs-Sat in the evening looking for a table is almost impossible. Unless you are a member I highly recommend going before 5pm to take advantage of the special rates, or on Mon, Tues, Wed & Sunday evenings. I also always call ahead to make sure the venue is not rented out for any corporate events, of which they host many. 6/5 for me. read more

A Saturday night out started here and with the serious amount of fun we were having ended here too. I am not a big fan of ping pong, even having a table here in my office, I have yet to feel the urge to pick up a paddle and play. However put drink in the equation and I am all up for getting massively involved. So its a Saturday night so of course we had to wait for a table to free up, honestly since my friend was doing all the chatting at the front I am not even sure if he had to pay to reserve or what they told him but we chilled at the bar for an hour until we got summoned. The crowd, okay a mix of total douches - imagine baseball caps and even one guy wearing a wife beater vest and another wearing those plastic knuckle duster rings that only the most biggest douche would pay money for. The chicks were dressed up too so it made me wonder whether this was there plan B after going to the shitty F-stop opposite and coming right back out. The service in general was good, apart from 'top button buttoned up comb over boy' who didn't seem to want to move outside of his end of the bar regardless of the amount of people waiting. By the time I asked for the food menu it was our turn on the tables so we continue with the liquid diet. Playing ping pong when drunk is the only time I can ever imagine doing so, but its serious fun and even though the balls we hit were usually hitting other people and tables nobody seemed to mind. I know between four of us having had four rounds of rum and cokes and the table for an hour the bill came to $135 and that seemed pretty decent to me. read more

While I'm not an avid ping ponger (that's probably not correct terminology), I do LOVE SPiN! I've been to SPiN for two private events, and both were fabulous. They are such a great venue to work with, and the space is amazing for a networking / cocktail social event. The space has three areas - one large room where there are 8ish tables, one smaller room in the back with about 6, and a private room with one table (it's beautiful!). The food here is also absolutely delicious - bacon lollipops anyone? And I love the drinks in the mason jars. While the front desk girls are not always the most attentive, the catering staff are absolutely amazing. I definitely recommend this place for a private event - also for a weekend evening out! Definitely a great alternative to a regular bar! read more

I just wanted to say how much fun we had at Spin Toronto last night. The staff were all helpful, friendly and cheerful, especially our Aussie server Ben and other lady server whose name I never learnt. While some of the fellas looked a little glum (probably because they had to pick up balls off the floor all night while the ladies did the serving!) but not Biniman who was skipping about whipping ping pong balls into his specially made net with a giant smile on his face. Apart from the fact my friend beat me at Ping Pong we will definitely be back (most likely for a rematch!) Keep it up Spinners! read more

Came for a work social (group of 14). Tables were $35 per table per hour before 5 pm and $55 after. Surrounding the tables were lounge couches and bar islands to grab a bite, drink, chat, and spectate. Some of the food was neither here nor there, although the attempts at unique fusion dishes were appreciated. Cheetoh Chicharróns ($7) - Meh. Loaded Poutine ($12) - Standard, however it was inconvenient to share or sneak in a quick bite between playing. All the Hogtown Grilled Cheese ($40) - Savoury and satisfying. All the great things you would expect in grilled cheese. DIY Butcher Lettuce Wraps ($35) - Liked this one. Steak was tender and the Sambal sauce was zesty with a great kick. Draft Beers and Ciders ($7) - I felt the selection was a little limited. My experience at SPiN was enjoyable - good venue, laidback atmosphere, prompt service, and an opportunity for great team bonding. read more

Why go to a regular bar to drink when you can go to Spin to drink and watch your ping pong skills get progressively worse as the night goes on? I don't even know how to play ping pong and still found it really fun! This is a fun place to go with a bunch of friend. Usually the worst part of ping pong, especially if you suck is running after the stupid ping pong ball, but at Spin they have a huge basket of ping pong balls at the ready and people who will collect the ping pong balls and refill the baskets. This is crucial for terrible players like me. I also noticed that they have individual stall washrooms. I quite like that too. read more

Been to SPiN twice now, and def is the new spot to hang out in Toronto. It's neat, different and exciting. SPiN is a place where you can play ping-pong / table-tennis, enjoy great food and an amazing variety of beer. Its kind of hard to find, so i will help you guys out, the entrance is on the right hand side towards the back in the same building that has firkin on king. The game: Awesome layout! as soon as you enter, the first section is where anyone can pick a table and star pinging. They also have the back side of this place that's usually booked out for corp parties. Also unlimited balls, so no need to worry if you aren't the greatest at the sport (yes it is considered a sport in may parts of the world). The food/Beer : Being vegetarian, I only tried the veggie burger so far, and it was different. They made a vege patty out of falafel mix, it was a good different. Some one having lunch a few seats down from me at the bar looked to be enjoying their food, and knowing I would come here and post this I had to ask. She had ordered something called a tiffin, it has three parts, bread, soup and salad. Here's the best all their food is served in Indian style metal cutlery. As for beer, they serve hop city, that's all you need to know, just kidding, they have an odd variety which is good cause i tired of the same crap. This place is awesome, love the music, the layout, the food, beer and of course the game! read more

Went here for a work event, and had a fun time! The price to play is indeed high - $60 an hour during primetime - but playing doubles, and rotating a fair bit, I don't think anyone felt put out. Surprisingly, the beer selection was fantastic. I didn't progress past the rack of Hop City taps...because they had a rack of Hop City taps! Cool beans. Try out Happy Hour/Big Mouth, if you haven't. Also, friggin CHRIS BOSH was there. And it's not like he still lives in Toronto, he was here for a Heat v. Raptors game. So wtf, if it's good enough for CB4 on a road trip, I dig it. When approaching him didn't work, we tried tweeting him. That was even less effective. So, right. Chris Bosh. read more

SPiN is a pretty interesting concept in Toronto, since it is like a ping pong social lounge/bar kind of thing. Although I'm absolutely terrible at ping pong, I would say it's still a pretty fun place to come to with a group of friends or on a date or something. It is pretty pricey though, being about $17/hour I think on the weekends? I was lucky enough to come with a large group of people who booked a table for a birthday, so we ended up only having to pay $6.25/person for 2 hours. The atmosphere at SPiN (at least when I went on a Saturday evening) is lively - they have a TV which was playing the Leafs game when I went. They also have a DJ who is pretty decent and plays some upbeat/club-type music. Even though the place gets super busy, it's pretty spacious, so it's not like you'll have rampant balls flying everywhere or people from other groups getting in your personal space. They have staff members who walk around sweeping up balls and refilling your ball buckets in a very efficient manner. They also have food at SPiN, but I thought it was mediocre at best. I ordered a meat/charcuterie board for $13, and was disappointed with the meat to bread ratio. I think more than half of the board was bread/crackers, so I felt like I got tricked. I also ordered a mixed drink at the bar, and that plus a pint of beer ended up being around $20, which is not cheap. The bartender was pretty nice/cool/fun though, and I thought it was cute that they poured my drink into a mason jar-type glass. Overall it is definitely a fun place to check out once in a while, but for a ping pong noob like me, it's not a place I would frequent often. I would recommend eating somewhere else before or after, because the food here really is not worth the price and you will leave hungry. read more

Super cool place. Unlimited balls. Never once did we have an empty basket and the service was great.

We ended up at Spin after bowling on a rainy Saturday and I left with three balls in my shirt. No, I was not drunk, there were balls flying everywhere. Since it was our first time, we were placed in the corner with a bucket of balls and some paddles. The place was busy, the music was good but man oh man was it a sausage fest. HINT: If you are a single lady, go here for a drink and you might just meet someone. I'm not responsible if you meet a jerk mind you, that goes for any bar. We played boys against girls and as things do, balls started to fly everywhere in an aggressive fashion and nobody seemed to mind or care. It wasn't until we left that I realized that they put us in the newbie room. There were other rooms........ I would go back, it was pretty fun. read more

Came back here last weekend for the first time in a year when the Yelp Elite party took place. The vibe is simply too douchey, as Natalie mentioned it's pure 905ers. There is a large variety of age groups here, but it is 80% 19-21s. It gets very busy and if you're trying to hang out and have a conversation, you're more than likely going to end up with balls in your face. Seating is scarce, a few picnic tables scattered around between tables. It's probably a lot more fun if you actually want to play ping pong.... read more

This is one of the coolest bars EVER! You could pretty much spend a whole evening here and continue to enjoy yourself throughout the night. The wait times here are pretty ridiculous if you come on any weekend, but it wasn't too bad overall. We ended up leaving at one point for some food, but we got a call for a table within 2 hours on a Saturday night without reservations. Note: make a reservation if you're coming on a weekend. They charge per hour, so you can stay as long as you want! With ping pong balls bouncing EVERYWHERE, this gave an interesting environment. A huge space with 12 tables in total, and a bar right in the middle. They had all sorts of beers and a special for tall boys too! They had staff constantly going around to pick up balls in an interesting badminton net ball-picker-upper contraption which was probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen. They got the balls, then deposited them into the basket for those playing at the tables! You never have to go and chase your balls! An awesome night, even though we didn't get to play. Definitely coming back again to whack some balls with a paddle! read more

I love this spot! It's such a chill way to spend a Friday or Saturday night - for those who want to do more than just go to a club or a bar. The best part is that it's right on King West (literally next for to Brasaii) so if you are done with ping ping, and ready to dance, you're mere steps away. read more

A full service bar loaded with ping pong tables makes for an amazing place for social gatherings. It is important to note that it is a good idea to reserve a table before arriving; we didn't, and were unfortunately unable to get a table on which to play. The food menu is pretty comprehensive as far as bar-ish food goes with everything from oysters, to grilled cheese, to milk and cookies. The energy in here was good, and the crowd was fun. Definitely worth checking out next time you're in the King West area. ps. Cracked Canoe on tap is a must. read more

Good: The hostesses were very nice. Better: It was glow-in-the-dark night. I never realized what a toothy smile I have! BEST: The badminton racket shaped thingie that they use to pick up the stray ping-pong balls. Best job ever! Unfortunately, almost everything else was bad. Don't get me wrong - being there made me want to indulge in a bit of ping pong myself, but not at this particular locale. The price to play is atrociously high, and the experience is schizophrenic. Loud atonal music prevents any ping pong commentary from the peanut gallery. I'm not sure if Susan Sarandon and Co. intend the place to double as a club, but dancing between the tables sure is awkward. I'd rather get my drank and ping pong on at the Legion. That being said, I think it's an interesting place for corporate events and probably worth it if you're really into ping pong and get a membership. The beer selection is decent albeit at standard King West prices, and the menu and cocktails look much more interesting than usual pub fare. Dollars: $43 for an hour of walk-in ping pong and two pints. read more

If you don't know already, this spot is all about ping pong! A great location for a group if don't like the poolhall but want to have an activity while drinking. And it's right downtown on King St! Lots of fun and friends get really competitive, with balls flying all over the place. This place is always packed on the weekends (even some weeknights), so do make a reservation. It's funny that it's actually cheaper for walk-in customers BUT don't expect to ever get a table. Drinks are okay, music is good with a proper DJ, good spot to pre-drink and have some fun! read more

I went in here to check out the vibe. It was a nice novel concept, to have a ping pong bar. Great music and glow. Looked like great hangout spot. Charges by time or can grab drinks at the bar. There was a nice glow inside. Also staff going around gathering ping pong balls from the ground with a net/sweeper. There were benches and tables and spots to sit and lounge. read more

See all

Update on the VIBE Not my favourite place on a Friday night. Mainly 905-er central. And to the douchebags who were trying to take pictures of us while utterly drunk: just remember when we left, you were literally on the floor by the end of the night. Stay classy. Great Gin and Tonics though. Love the mason jar concept. read more

Came here for a social event. I have to say, whoever picked this place is brilliant, and whoever came up with the idea of opening a ping pong bar is a genius. There are a handful of pool bars in Toronto, but ping pong? really? It is a bar and a ping pong place at the same time. Do not know how to play ping pong? Me too, so does everyone else there actually. I still had fun though. For those clumsy people, you might want to be extra careful. You will either die from balls hitting you in the face or from slipping on them. The 4 stars rating is not for the food. I did not eat, and it's not really good place to eat (You will agree with me, when you have ping pong balls on your plate). It is just a very social place, and a good change from pool, billiard and foosball. When it gets later, the crowd quadrupled and it looked more like a bar. Good selections of beer (Czechvar and Paulaner!!) It gets really booked though. Bumped into a friend at Soma, becausehe could not get a table. Everything was booked until 12am (It was 8pm, Thursday night). My advice, make reservations!!! I would go again, if I have a bunch of friends who do not know what to do and we happen to be close to King. PS. They serve mixed drinks in candy jars, and you get to sit around those picnic tables!!! PPS. The balls have "Hopcity" printed on them. PPPS. You do not have to pick up ping pong balls you dropped because you suck. They have people hired to do that!!!! read more

I heard about SPiN from a friend and decided to go with a few of my girlfriends to check the place out. PING-PONG! AWESOME! That's basically why I'm giving it 3 stars. The crowd was pretty chiq: guys dressed in well fitting, sleek suits and the chicks were dressed to kill. My kind of night. Kinda pricey for playing ping-pong, but I guess that's downtown for you. Service was nothing to write home about; drinks felt weak; nothing really special except pink-pong and black lights! Good evening out overall, but mostly because of whom I was there with, and not the place itself. read more

Great atmosphere for hanging out and casual drinks with friends! You can play ping pong which is awesome and there is ample amount of space. The bar offers a variety of drinks and there is also a small food menu. I will be coming back for some chill fun times soon! read more

I had heard great things about SPiN before coming here but was still surprised by how great it was. The ping pong was pretty much what I expected (a blast) but what I wasn't expecting was for the food to be so delicious. The online menu is deceiving in that it sounds like typical mass produced bar food but its entirely not. Jalapeño poppers were made from fresh jalapeños, and even the chips and dip were made with fresh-baked flour chips. From looking online, I thought all the drinks were going to be at least $10 but draft beer and mixed drinks were just $6-$7. The night ended up being way cheaper and way better than I expected! Also I was afraid we wouldn't have ample seating to have a full meal but the place doesn't start getting packed til around 9pm, so if you're going earlier than that, shouldn't be a problem to find somewhere to sit and eat. read more

Great spot if you're looking for a scenery change up. I mean, Ping Pong and drinks, what's there not to love!? From the outside, you can't really tell how big this place is, but there's probably 8-12 tables on inside. Weekends can get really busy, and the reservation process is terrible! You'll find empty tables reserved all night, while others are packed with too many people! Music is good though and the bar makes decent drinks. Can get a bit pricey though if you're there for more then a few hours. Perfect pre-drink spot though if you're going out for the night. read more

Its ping pong. Its booze. Its good music....what more can you ask for? A king west place that isn't completely douchy !! Never ate here really, but never came for a meal. See first line....ping pong, booze, music. The weekend prices for tables though at night are quite high, but then again....there always booked. But i usually come during the week for fun and relaxing. Some people are way to intense at the game though haha. Watch out for balls in your face :) read more

Went here for a buddy's birthday in January, DID YOU KNOW SUSAN SARANDON IS PART OWNER OMG so anyway, the place is pretty cool looking inside, a little sparse looking but since they needed to leave room for the multiple ping pong tables - holla. Part of the fun IMO, is that if you suck at ping pong it's extremely entertaining to watch the balls fly all over the room/land on humans/land on other human's tables/one time landing in another human's drink. I mean this depends on your skills and does not in any way reflect on the service at SPiN Toronto. Which btw, was great. The staff was very intent when it came to picking up the balls with these cool net thingers (we wanted to try them too, no can do). Any place where you can act like a total goofball while having several pints, is a place for me. I don't remember how much it cost...if you play with enough people, it's not really an issue for your wallet to figure out. I did find it amusing how people were playing in their mini club dresses, but hey whatever gets you pumped for your evening of grinding ahead! read more

If you want to get semi-dressed up to go to an underground ping-pong bar, Spin is where you might want to show your face. You don't have to dress up in your Sunday best but dressing up (not just for Spin but also the surrounding bars and restaurants) might help you fit in a little better. My cousins and I didn't because we didn't give two shits about hooking up with anyone there. So we ordered our beers, played a few rounds of expensive ping-pong, then walked out down the street to another bar that fit our personalities a little more (i.e. Horseshoe Tavern and Odd Seoul). Good place to bring a date and lose (on purpose) or for a group of office buddies to come down to relax and have fun. I may or may not come back here if I were in Toronto if I remember to bring nicer clothes. Oh yeah, beers are expensive here. So is the ping-pong time. If you're only interested in playing ping-pong, you might be better off finding a Chinese friend who might have one in their basement. Parking: Limited paid street parking Price: $$ Wait: None for drinks, reserve tables in advance or wait a long, long time read more

The Pretzel Knots ($10) were quite popular. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, the yummy dip completed this snack. Their Short Ribs Smörgåsbord melted off the bones perfectly, which I highly recommend if you love ribs. They have a couple of adult fruit punch that are great for the crowd! Overall I was very impressed with the food that Spin Toronto served. The prices were quite reasonable too! So next time if you decide to drop by for a friendly game of ping pong, take a look at their menu as well! read more

Looking for a cool hangout spot and you're done with the whole pool hall and darts thing? Then maybe it's time for some ping pong. (Note: I had the pleasure of visiting this place during a Yelp Elite event.) Spin Galactic's angle is definitely being an activity-orientated place where you and your friends can gather from some food and drink. The main focus, of course, is the ping pong and it dresses it up with a lively background and some black lights. While you can play ping pong in your friend's basement, it's not the same. Spin has a staff of retrievers who make your balls their business. Any missed shot or errant ball is gathered by staff and eventually returned into a bucket by your table. Taking away the need to retrieve a ping pong ball after a failed return adds a big layer of enjoyment to playing. It keeps the rhythm going and adds a considerable value to the hourly rate for the table. There are better food and drink elsewhere, but nowhere else has ping pong like this. read more

Great place to hang out, but a bit on the expensive side. Food is also not bad, but again, a bit on the expensive side... I guess if you don't mind spending a little bit, it's a great place to hang out! They're always busy with corporate events too. Make sure you book ahead of time if possible. But they only let members book way ahead... read more

Loved it! Great place for groups. The music& lighting puts you in the mood to play ping pong! We had the sliders which were average. The only setback is you need to wait for a table on the weekends and its a bit pricey. read more
