SPIN Opens in Fort Point

More than two years ago, it was reported that a new entertainment complex that features a popular parlor game was planning to expand to Boston. Now we have learned that the place has finally debuted.

A tweet from @FortPointer indicates (via a press release from the company) that SPIN opens today in the Fort Point neighborhood of Boston, with the space including 14 ping pong tables, a restaurant, bar, and private rooms/event spaces. The press release mentions that the new spot will start up a Social League season in January, while the space will also host charity events, special occasions, and corporate outings along with ping pong lessons.

In addition to the new outlet in Boston, SPIN currently has locations in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Seattle, Washington, DC, and Toronto.

The address for SPIN is 30 Melcher Street, Boston, MA, 02210. The website for the chain is at https://wearespin.com/

SPIN Plans to Open in Boston's Fort Point Neighborhood

by Marc Hurwitz

A new entertainment complex may be on its way to Boston, and this one would feature a popular parlor game.

According to a licensing board hearing page within the city's website, SPIN is looking to open in Fort Point, moving into what appears to be a two-floor space on Melcher Street, with the manager listed--Gustavo Zylberberg--being director of operations for the New York-based chain, according to an online search. The "ping pong social club," which is also known as SPIN: United by Ping Pong, could have 12,750 square feet of space on the ground floor and another 1800 square feet of space in the basement, and based on its other locations, it will likely feature ping pong (including leagues), food and drink, and possibly space for parties and events.

Currently, locations of SPINcan be found in New York, Austin, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington, DC, and Toronto.

The address for this proposed restaurant, bar, and ping pong club is 30 Melcher Street, Boston, MA, 02210. The website for the chain can be found at https://wearespin.com/

[October 25 update: According to a press release, SPIN opens its doors in Fort Point tomorrow.]
