Concept & Entertainment

Pros:

  • "One of the most innovative bar to go and relax and if you are having a bad day, might as well break the glass in which you are drinking on the wall with some celebrity pictures on and get instant gratification 😁..."
  • "They have games a couple arcade games it was really fun to play."

  • "Had the best time breaking our drinks and vibing out to the music."
  • "There are other games available as well like Jenga, Shuffleboard and ping pong with a good selection of arcade games."
  • "I particularly love that we could smash glasses against the wall after drinks - it was therapeutic!"
  • "The combination of letting off some steam and a chill environment afterwards with a drink in hand and some board games. You got to love it!"

Cons:

  • "You have to pay for extra things which was a bit of a let down because the standard pack doesn't have the biggest variety, otherwise dope spot."
  • "Crazy enough she did drop and break a mason jar on my foot lol. wet foot. No drinks somehow."
  • "In my opinion, the concept of the 30mins seemed to only encourage the up sale for us to break more devices. I don’t think its worth it."
  • "Nobody explained the rules; you have to figure things out on your own."
  • "The alcoholic options that came with our package were very, very limited... and even those drinks tasted almost identical to water. Not worth it!"
  • "The only benefit this place has is the breaking glass gimmick which is not worth it."
  • "Be very careful not to pick up any extra things to break. They will charge you a lot ☹️"
