Located less than two miles from the CCSU campus, the Spin Cycle Cafe and Laundromat helps solve the age-old decision between clean laundry and drinking with friends.
Spin Cycle offers free soap Monday through Friday in addition to nightly entertainment for laundry-doers and non-laundry-doers alike.
Monday is “Sports Night,” where during the game you can enjoy $2 Bud drafts and 50 cent wings.
Friday is the “Jazz Jam,” where patrons can enjoy live music from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Dance and Latin music is played after 9:30 p.m. and dancing is strongly encouraged.
Saturday night features an ever-changing array of live entertainment. Past events have included live music and comedy performances. Sunday night is “College Night” where CCSU students once again enjoy $2 Bud drafts and 50 cent wings.
Of course, the laundry services are numerous. Dry cleaning, home pick-up and delivery, wash and fold services and self-service laundry machines.
Students can purchase discount cards that allow them to fill up a bag provided by Spin Cycle to be washed, folded and dried for a flat rate of $15 per bag.
Spin Cycle boasts free wi-fi, seasonally open outdoor patio tables and areas for study groups. They also host open mic nights, magic shows and wine tastings.
