Ping pong used to be about as cool as shuffleboard. Well, we better keep our eye out for a shuffleboard resurgence, because Susan Sarandon made ping pong hot. The SPiN clubs have popped up around the US before it came to Toronto to bring a little friendly competition to cocktail hour. Tables book around $20 an hour and it is advisable to book early as many people take the game seriously. There is a menu with the usual Canadian bar snacks (late night poutine, anyone?) but a local and ethical sensibility. Drinks can be as fancy as champagne or as low key as a punch bowl with 9 oz of alcohol added. Whether or not the punch will improve your game is yet to be decided.

EXPERT TIPS BY:

Toronto Local Expert
- Romantic Things to Do: "Go on a Tuesday night, and try glow in the dark ping pong. With black lights, $5 gin and tonics and old school hip hop, it doesn't even really matter if you have mad skills."
- Best for Romantic Things to Do Because: Adult fun with a kid-at-heart mentality. Save your date from a flying ping pong ball and gain knight of shining armour status.
