Ping-pong social club Spin has expanded its footprint with a new flagship location in the heart of Midtown Manhattan.
Located at 1626 Broadway, the former site of the Carolines on Broadway showroom, Spin Midtown offers locals and tourists alike a new venue to play ping-pong, eat, drink and socialize.
With locations in Chicago, Toronto, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Seattle, Washington D.C. and Boston, the new Midtown location (its second in NYC) offers a handful of new and unique features to add to its 10 ping-pong tables surrounded by lounge seating.
The new location’s design features include a bar, reception area and DJ booth, inviting guests to relax and enjoy food, drinks and music in the basement setting. The custom millwork and commercial space buildout was completed by Atlas Builders and designed by architecture and interiors firm New York Design Architects.
At the location, visitors can meet Spinny, an M-One Pong Bot, which provides guests with the opportunity to interact with a robotic ping-pong arm with AI capabilities that optimize play for novices and pros alike. It is the first time a robot of this type has been launched in the United States.
Spin Midtown also features an elevated 20 camera ping-pong bathtub installation, inviting guests to jump into a tub full of the brand’s signature orange balls for a social media photo op.
“We are thrilled to introduce Spin 2.0, a cutting-edge digital evolution of the Spin brand,” said Pieter Vanermen, CEO of Spin. “From neon art integration to immersive social installations and unveiling of Spinny, the U.S.’s first ping-pong robot, Spin is poised to be the ultimate entertainment destination.”
