Editorial Review for Spin – by J.P. Anderson
The Scene
Gosh, it's so ... red. Blood-red walls, red curtains and red light fixtures give faces an eerie tint at this video bar, which passes on most diva-pop in favor of edgier alt-rock, comedy and the occasional South Park rerun. The front room offers two pool tables, a big island bar with a half-dozen video monitors and a dinky side lounge. In the back room (open after 10pm Wed-Sun), which pulses with DJ-spun house music, party boys and girls groove on the dance floor and sprawl on couches in the adjacent lounge.
The Draw
A gay, straight and bi crowd of edgy young boys and girls ready to play. Wednesday is by far Spin's most popular night: For a cover charge of $5, you can buy any draft beer or well drink for just a buck.

Insider Tips
When to GoFridays at midnight, you can peep at Spin's popular shower contest, when pretty (and not-so-pretty) boys and girls compete for the sexiest soakdown.

Spin is quite a fun place on Wednesday nights. The atmosphere is fun, but the place is waaaay packed. Besides Humpday there isn't many other days I'd stop in, with the possible exception being the shower contest (which doesn't always even happen if people don't volunteer). Nevertheless it's the place to be on a Wednesday night and everyone and their mother knows it =)
Pros: Cheap Drinks, Good Service, Mix of people
Cons: Sometimes too packed, Few people except Wed, Too smokey at times
