Blazing Paddles (a Ping-Pong Club) Is Coming to Game On! in Boston's Fenway Neighborhood

A new lounge that features a popular game is coming to a multi-media sports bar and entertainment complex by Fenway Park.

The Fork Lift blog of the Boston Herald mentions that Blazing Paddles opens on Saturday, March 15 in the downstairs space of Game On! Boston, with the place being a "sexy, high-energy" club that promises to be a bit more upscale than "the college party scene or company rec room." The article says that higher-end ping-pong themed spots can be found in other cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, and London, with Barry Rafferty--who is managing the concept--saying that ping-pong clubs could start showing up elsewhere in the Boston area and in other places.

The Facebook page for Blazing Paddles says that "tasty bites" will be available there, along with beer and "banging tunes." A total of 12 tables will be set up at the club.

The address for Blazing Paddles (and Game On! Boston) is 82 Lansdowne Street, Boston, MA, 02215. The website for Game On! can be found at http://gameonboston.com/ while the Facebook page for Blazing Paddles is at https://www.facebook.com/BlazingPaddlesFenway
