SPIN Chicago First Fridays – “Dare to Play As You Are”

Bringing the party and the pride to your city, join SPIN Chicago on the first Friday of June for a celebration of ping pong, play, and unapologetic self-expression.

SPIN’s First Fridays returns June 6th with the Dare to Play As You Are event – an all-out

Pride Month celebration of queer joy, individuality, and community. This month, we’re transforming our clubs into vibrant playgrounds of glitter, glam, and good vibes—because Pride deserves a party as bold and inclusive as the people it celebrates.

Throughout the night, rally with friends and chosen family while our DJs spin queer icons, disco classics, and dance floor bangers. Cheer on (or challenge!) your local drag queen in our Drag Pong Battles, belt out your favorite bangers at Sing-Along Pong, and glam up at the sparkle station before snapping pics at the rainbow-themed photo wall.

Sip on the Off the Wall cocktail—created by a bartender from the legendary Stonewall Inn—with $1 from every drink going to The Trevor Project. Or go big with our Pride & Spirits package featuring two hours of ping pong, drinks, bites, and the cocktail of the month.
