    This is the most amazing place for ping pong .The vibe and music is on point. They have good number of tables but this time the food options were limited than in early 2022. The food is pretty expensive even for any game food. The staff is friendly and polite but they couldn’t help me exchange the tables because of the system the use. We had to go and call the server ourselves after waiting for 20mins. It’s still a good place for ping pong and I understand that weekends are busy but I hope we get the service we pay for.

    4.5/5 actually. I have visited a couple of times and the employees on the front are polite and welcoming. A party can book for multiple tables depending upon the number of guests in the party. The place is kept reasonably clean especially the washrooms. They also have a cloak room which is an excellent service. They have excellent and delicious food options. My personal favourite is the Mac n cheese balls, and the tater tots. They also have mini burgers/sliders available in both meat and vegan options. The only thing that disappointed me a little was the cocktail options. They are very limited. They have good options of beer and the house wine is great.

    I HAD SO MUCH FUN HERE!! Booked ahead of time and got a nice area with a private booth. Good music playlist. Live DJ comes out later in the night. Nice and friendly staff. Easy to get drinks. The coolest thing about this is that you don't have to pick up the balls on the ground. The staff comes around and does it for you. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Pretty expensive on a Friday/weekend at $60/hour. Good to play with a big group. But overall, ping pong is so fun!!! Thanks for a great night! Cheers!

    Good place. Spacious and clean. Good service. Menu doesn't have many options. The fries that came with burgers are incredible.

    Came here for a Christmas party through work, so I'm not sure of the price point, but we had a blast. Drinks were good (I only had non-alcoholic cocktails which was nice to see) and games were fun. The tournament set up was a blast. Definitely recommend.

    I got invited for a product launch party from work at SPiN. Have been there a couple of times already, so the place is not new to me. You can play ping pong/ table tennis on minimum 12 tables that I counted on site or just chill out at the bar. You can either play a tournament amongst your friends or just hit the ball for fun. They have a basket of balls nearby and you don’t have to pick up any fallen balls as people around quickly “sweep” them. The only complaint I have is there are spots that are too dark and the spots that are lighted are dim, particularly when you first enter. You have to get used to the lights. Perfect for a bar or lounge, but not as much for playing and chatting with people around. The food served was good - on a platter all finger foods. There was a small sign in each of the picnic table where the food was, but sometimes difficult to read and also which dishes which were which. Two dips in platters and one had dairy and one did not. But a good experience overall as the staff were helpful.

    Very nice ambiance as I was there for a corporate event party. Love the mocktail "dying for love". No halal options here so that's a big minus for me in GTA. Other than that I loved playing ping pong. The staff was super friendly and just amazing attitude! Thanks for having us!

    A very nice place to have fun and enjoy. Let's experiment with your table tennis skills without being judged. Has good food options too. Staff is helpful and quick to refill the balls so your game does not disturbed. There are lots of tables and I recommend booking in advance as most of the time the tables are reserved. We were lucky that we were able to extend an additional hour. Must visit for an amazing time with family and/or friends

    We had a team gathering at Spin on Friday afternoon last week. All of us had such a great time - the feedback from the team was overwhelmingly positive. It was our first company gathering outside the office since early 2020 and we couldn't have picked a better venue. Julie was terrific in getting our event booked and helping is consider the various options, the staff were all friendly and accommodating. John who looked after our group was exceptional. We will be back again soon - excellent value, great atmosphere and an even better time. I would highly recommend both for company and personal gatherings. Thanks to the team at Spin.

    Honestly, wonderful place, wonderful team of people working there. It was honestly a great date for me and my girlfriend. We’ve been together 5 years and have been on multiple dates together, but this one will be remembered. This one’s for the books. Thank you to everyone here for the exceptional service. I recommend the nachos !

    Our group had a great time at SPIN Toronto! Our Ping Pong Ambassador, Sam, made our experience phenomenal as he clearly explained ping pong rules and was enthusiastic about hosting our ping pong tournament. Many of our guests complimented the fries and hamburger sliders as well. Our event planner, Julie, also made planning our event easy and straightforward within a short timeframe. Would recommend bringing a group here for team bonding, staff socials or simply coming with a group of friends.

    SPIN hosted our team event and we had so much fun! Sube was a fantastic host and ensured everyone was taken care of. A perfect place for mingling and some friendly competition. The team did find it a little hot, especially after we were moving around so would be great to make it a little cooler, especially in the upcoming summer months.

    We had a great time here for one of our company events! The event staff (Julie and co.) made the event easy to coordinate and the servers were friendly and helpful, including our ping pong ambassador, who helped to organize our large group into a tournament. Food, drinks, and music were also excellent.

    I just hosted my 30th birthday at SPiN and it was awesome! We had a large group so we rented out the lounge area, and it is so nice. You have your own ping pong table, a large L shaped couch and a TV. I ordered snacks and charcuterie boards and they give you a good amount food with those. The drinks are a bit expensive, but if you are celebrating a milestone birthday or anniversary, it's worth it. The servers and staff were great, and all around everyone had a great time. I will definitely come back for future events.

    I enjoyed spin. Ping pong isn't really my thing but it was a fun event for work. The staff had everyone involved and time was well spent. There was a private eating spot which was nice for the group and the food was above average. If ping pong is your thing, or you're just looking to have a nice event with your co-workers or friends, check spin out.

    Great place for Team events, it was fun. Even if you don't know how to play Table Tennis this place will be fun with a team. They have variety of Finger food with a selection of Vegan, Vegetarian and regular food items. They also organize team tournaments which is good. Overall great place in downtown Toronto to hangout with Teams. Two things which can be improved in this location is Parking and Wheel Chair Accessibility.

  • 4/5 Shanny M. 3 months ago on Google • 137 reviews New
    We had fun there! The vibe was nice. It's a cool way to relax and chill with friends. Very wholesome. The drinks and food were okay. We had the appetizer platter (I found the food very salty! 😩) but we enjoyed the hangs all throughout the night.

  • 5/5 Jan 9 months ago on Google • 116 reviews
    Great time celebrating birthdays I love what what they’ve done with their renovations from the last time I’ve visited here. It’s seems more spacious as well as a lounge vibe and lots of places to hang out and sit if you’re not playing. The service was fantastic and the folks picking up our balls going everywhere were so nice! We had some drinks but nothing to eat but it seemed like a great little small bite menu. We will definitely be back with more friends.

    Super fun night out with friends. Was worried that it'll be filled with expert Ping Pong players - nah, super relaxed after seeing how many others play. Lol. Try out the game without being judged. Nice music. With drinks and snacks options. Busy place (was there on a Tue night) so make your reservation before coming. What an awesome business concept!

  • 5/5 Udele M. 9 months ago on Google • 28 reviews
    We were in a semi private area that was cozy but you could still feel the vibes from the other room. Music was just loud but good and still low enough to be able to comfortably enjoy conversations. Tex, our host was really great and got our party started and moving along. Great place to hang out!

  • 5/5 Jackye Y. 9 months ago on Google
    I really enjoyed my experience at SPIN! Such a fun, unique activity. Great atmosphere. They have a full bar and small yet diverse menu. Very friendly staff. I will visit again if I make it back to the area. Highly recommend!

  • 3/5 Ricky T. 1 year ago on Google
    Meh? It's ok. Came here for a birthday party. Interesting cool concept. Worth coming here once but don't think I would come back. Plan to come here with small groups, otherwise there's not much else left to do. Food and drink prices seems fair. Just wished there was more to do.

  • 5/5 Timothy R. 4 months ago on Google
    Had so much fun here last night with friends. The staff was super nice and the unlimited drinks package was 100% worth it. Would definitely come back again!

    Disappointing Experience at Spin: Inadequate Service and Unreasonable Charges I recently visited Spin, a table tennis bar, with a group of friends and opted for their Clubhouse package, which was advertised on their website for $78 per person. However, upon receiving the bill, we were shocked to find that it amounted to $420 for the four of us. Allow me to share my honest review of the experience. First and foremost, the service at Spin was lacking. Despite paying a significant amount for the Clubhouse package, we were disappointed to discover that not a single server assisted us with getting our drinks. Instead, we were told to go to the bar and get them ourselves. This was unexpected and not in line with the level of service we anticipated. To add insult to injury, the tipping policy at Spin seemed excessive. We were charged almost $55 in tips, even though no servers had provided any form of service throughout our visit. Luckily our good old friend is always there to help weather he should be or not. This left us feeling frustrated and cheated, as we expected the tips to be justified by attentive and prompt service. Moreover, the pace at which our drinks were poured was extremely slow, resulting in a significant waste of our two hours of playtime. This further compounded our dissatisfaction with the overall experience. We felt that our money was not well-spent, considering the limited time we had to enjoy the game. In hindsight, I would strongly advise against opting for the Clubhouse package at Spin. Instead, I recommend paying the normal price of $58 per hour, as this allows for more flexibility in playing with a larger group of friends. Furthermore, by choosing the regular hourly rate, you are more likely to have a personal server attending to your needs throughout your visit. While tipping is generally expected in such establishments, it should be based on the quality of service received. Unfortunately, in this case, the lack of attentive service made us feel like we were being taken advantage of. In conclusion, my experience at Spin left me feeling disappointed and unsatisfied. The combination of inadequate service, unreasonable charges, and slow drink service made me feel as if I had been robbed of my hard-earned money. I hope that the management at Spin takes these concerns into account and works towards improving the overall customer experience when paying for the exclusive packages.

    We went to SPIN for a work group event. Everything was well organized and fabulous! Our server, Dylan was top notch and so was our ambassador, Trevon. The food was outstanding and our group of 40 had an amazing experience. We would recommend this place in a heartbeat!

    Cool place to hang out and play. Had our team socials here, and had a great time! Thank you to the staff who helped us from reservation, food, drinks and more. Smash burgers were sooo good!! Will definitely come back :)

  • 5/5 Alana P. 5 months ago on Google
    My company hosted an event for clients last week at SPIN and we all had a fantastic time. The clients loved the atmosphere with great music, great food, and drinks. The staff at SPIN were so helpful in making sure the event went smoothly. We will definitely be looking into when we can plan our next event here!

  • 4/5 Andrew M. 5 months ago on Google
    Great place to have larger parties or bring you work teams. Good overall service, with a balance of fun on the pong tables and areas to sit and stand to chat. Would recommend checking it out for a fun night

  • 5/5 Trevor A. 10 months ago on Google
    Very interesting experience. Went to SPIN in downtown Toronto for a pre-wedding party for a longtime friend. Even without any experience playing ping-pong, it was a riot just to hit the balls with new and old friends. The service and bar staff were welcoming and took great care of us. While not my regular cup of tea, would recommend for any group looking to try something different.

  • 4/5 Paul V. 1 year ago on Google
    Great space!! Spin is well staffed. Easy to get drinks and food. My favourite part, no chasing balls!! 🏓🏓✅✅ The staff come around with a scoop and refill a bucket beside the tables. Live it. Washrooms were clean. The only thing I didn't like was the music was too loud. If it was 5 to 10 decibels lower it would have been a perfect rating.

  • 5/5 Joanna L. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a staff event there last week and had so much fun! We were really impressed with the food and beverages. Far above expectations for a venue like this. The margaritas were better than the local Mexican restaurant!

  • 5/5 Kathryn R. 1 year ago on Google
    Just attended a birthday party here. I had alot of fun! The venue is nicely appointed and well lit, clean, and the equipment is well maintained. The food menu veers towards appetizers and finger foods but portions are sizable and delicious. Staff were friendly and attentive. Will definitely visit again!

  • 5/5 Jennifer T. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great experience planning our summer social here. The events team were very friendly, prompt and offered great recommendations. We have quite a few people in our company with different allergies and dietary considerations; I was shocked at how many options were available. Everyone was happy and raved about the food and drinks. I can't wait to come back again next year. Thanks again, Julie and Ryan, for all your help leading up to and on the day of!

  • 5/5 Christopher J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great ping pong and bar spot. The bartender chris is amazing great cocktails and the bucket of friend chicken is amazing would recommend for people looking for a chill spot on king west with great DJs after 9pm

  • 4/5 Sherry M. 5 years ago on Google
    We had a great time, really a lot of fun! I recommend the grilled cheese over the flatbread and the Mojito over the Brain Candy. 😊 Overall a really fun experience.

  • 3/5 Brandon T. 4 years ago on Google
    Fun place to play ping pong but the food I had at the event was not exceptional. Also the beer selction is pretty good but pricey. They have the Megadeth collaboration beer which was tasty to drink on draft. It's also a little dark at night for optimal ping pong play.

  • 5/5 PraneshKumar V. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place to visit... Boards, racquets and atmosphere 👌👌👌.. I used my personal racquet, it was good combination with their board... Good place to organise tournamentz..

  • 5/5 anam a. 6 years ago on Google
    SPiN is a fun place to go with a group of friends or a company outing! I went with a group of 10 coworkers and we even brought our own games to play on a nearby bench. There are limited seating areas but there are tables between The service was kind and very quick, and the grilled cheese appetizers we got were delicious! Not pricy at all if you're going with a big group, $55 with reservation at non-peak hours and $70 at peak hours (after 8PM) on the weekend. They have people walking around picking up stray ping pong balls, so no worry of tripping over them during the night. Definitely recommend, and will come back again soon!

  • 5/5 GEM T. 5 years ago on Google
    Great ping pong hang out place. Per hour is about 36 bucks an hour, so that's a bit pricey. Great atmosphere though. Friendly staff!

  • 5/5 Mark H. 4 years ago on Google
    What a great time we had here!! Amazing atmosphere and great staff who work there too. I’m British and I know right now that we need a spin in the uk, I think it would be a huge success!! The music was great, couldn’t help but think they heard my accent and put on a British music playlist but I’ve got to say, it was an amazing few hours spent with my other half. We will definitely return for sure in September. We didn’t want to leave. I HOPE YOU OPEN UP IN THE UK SOON!!!(😂😜wishful thinking!!) great job guys!! Definitely recommended for a couples, groups and parties as they cater for all!!! Get down to spin!!

  • 4/5 Steve S. 5 years ago on Google
    I was there for a company event. It was fun. Lots of space and good for ping pong. Food was okay not spectacular. If you want to play ping pong for hours then it would be worthwhile. The people working there were super nice.
