SPIN Chicago

What a fantastic place! SPIN has really got it all - ping pong, cornhole, cocktails, food, and a bunch of other games. I was pleasantly surprised by their food and drinks!

Located in River North, this is a multi-level bar and grill that has tons of games, primarily ping pong. I would have never known this big space was here since it's pretty tucked away and doesn't look half as bag on the outside as it is on the inside. Truly the most perfect spot for events of any sort - birthday parties, corporate events, team building, etc. Their cocktails were soooo good; I got a classic margarita and the Mulling Manhattan and they were both perfect. The staff was personable and fun, too.

I really liked their Mediterranean sampler - their hummus, tzatziki, olives, pita, and falafel were delicious. For a non-Mediterranean place, it was very good! Their brussels sprouts were delectable, too.

I recommend coming here with a group so you can have a mini ping pong competition. Nothing bad to say about the place. I will totally be back here!

I had gone to SPIN in Austin and was super excited to check out the location in downtown Chicago. We went on a Saturday just after opening and got seated very quickly. Our drinks and food came out within 10 minutes and man, the loaded nachos are absolutely where it's at! I am usually not a fan of that many toppings on any dish but it was cohesive and delicious. The set up of the tables inside is unique and modern and we had a great time there!

I have a friend who gave a $7000 deposit for a party. Now she can't contact the business, even went there. No one was there. They took her money, now she has no way to get her money back. Yes, here comes lawsuits. Should be zero stars, but you have to pick one

Corporate events here are ok,, the food is like eating frozen microwave oven , the only ping pong table it's a tight area , the drink and hostess mediocre. No place to put you jacket either

Cool place to go for a work event or to hang out with friends. I was invite to this place by a guy friend. Parking was adequate with street parking and valet near by. The atomsphere was pretty cool and laid back. Many ping pong tables! I love the fact that there was seating around to hang out and have a drink. Our waitress Piper was the sweetest person! She made the experience there even nicer. I would definitely go back!

Rory was fantastic!! Such a great server! He was at the first bar upon entrance and he was able to give us many recommendations for the city as well as drink recommendations! He was so sweet and made us feel so welcomed!

My friends and I made last-minute plans to visit SPIN. We booked a table on a Saturday for $39 per hour (weekday price is $29), and they had a ton of time slots available for the evening. We arrived on time and were told where all the games were. The staff were super friendly. The service was quick, and the place constantly stayed clean because there are special tools to pick up the ping pong balls on the floor. We played ping pong doubles for about an hour and spent the rest of the time with the giant UNO cards. There was also Jenga available along with a few other games. We were told when there was 10 minutes left. At the end, we hung around the area but were asked to move to the bar because another party coming in, which was totally understandable. The staff still paid for a round of drinks for asking us to move, which was SO kind and not necessary at all! Regardless, we enjoyed drinks at the bar, and it was an enjoyable evening!

We enjoyed our event that was held at Spin Chicago. The venue is quite spacious and the table tennis (aka ping pong) theme is fun (gives you something more to do than just drinking). The bartenders are professional and there are plenty of staff to help with questions. There are many table tennis balls so you can play a very high paced game without having to run around to retrieve a ball (like in my days as a student). There's also shuffleboard and other things to do. I cannot comment on prices because our event was paid for by the sponsor. Overall I really liked this place and I'm glad I was here!

I was invited to attend for drinks and ping pong for a friend and my birthday. Atmosphere was fun, and food was good. Drinks were very inconsistent in flavor. How do we order multiple of the same drink and they all taste drastically different?? Also, there was booking issues... which caused sone drama at the beginning of our evening. That being said I feel the customer service is so-so.

That being said I would still suggest checking them out since it was a fun time. Follow me on IG @ j.o.realness to check out other restaurants through our beautiful city of Chicago!

First of all before you get inside there is a sitting area with ping pong tables under heating lamps and VERY comfortable chair/sofas. Wow I was impressed. Then as you enter the location the bottom floor has an open floor of ping pong tables, (spaced out perfectly) skee ball tables, a massive DJ booth that plays the best mix of music for every taste.

I don't drink but we were there for Alice birthday and they set up a area of fresh water and clean glasses for us to partake. I enjoyed my conversations with the mixologist she was new to her role but she had the customer service skills down.

Let me pivot for a minute to the food while it's on my mind then I'll come back to customer service.
I'm not a huge meat eater but I tried everything last night:
The grilled flank steak amazing, it was tender, tasty and tantalizing, the BBQ wings were good, the Vegan power crunch salad was AMAZING as was the other salad which I can't remember the name. The food was buffet style, pretty plating and the plates and silverware was beautiful. I think the silverware was black matte and the plates were white which I appreciated because I like being able to see my food. So thankful to whoever works on the logistics they thought of it all.

So back to customer service, from the moment you walk in at the front desk you are greeted and immediately pulled into the warmth shared. There was three people at the desk and two of us walked in. While one Associate put my wrist band on, the other came from behind the desk to put one on my spouse to keep the line moving and service us quickly. Great thinking
All in all we had a great time

Games available Jenga, life size connect four and the biggest uno card set I ever seen. Let the games begin.
