In 2007, best friends Jonathan Bricklin and Franck Raharinosy had a wild idea—to practice ping pong around the clock and get good enough to make the USA Olympic Team. In their quest for greatness, they did what any future Olympians would do: they began hosting weekly ping pong parties.

These gatherings quickly grew, drawing a diverse crowd of artists, musicians, bankers, and professional players, which created a vibrant energy and community around the game. Teaming up with retired investment banker and former tennis pro Andrew Gordon, they launched SPIN’s flagship location on Park Avenue in New York City in the summer of 2009.

Since opening our doors, we’ve witnessed the global rise of an iconic ping pong culture that breaks boundaries and unites people through the love of the game. SPIN has transformed ping pong into a vibrant social movement, blending play, art, and community. By redefining the game as a lifestyle, we’ve created an inclusive experience where everyone is welcome to pick up a paddle.

At SPIN, we come together to socialize and celebrate play. At our core is a drive to connect through ping pong—a game that transcends age, identity, and physical boundaries.

We are the original ping pong social club, your offline social network, and a place to call home. We welcome diversity and embrace the unconventional. With venues in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, Philadelphia, Seattle, Washington DC, and Boston, we encourage you to join in.

Do it together, never alone.
