Went to Break Bar for a post-work celebration that was perfectly planned by a colleague after a very intense work event. It’s the perfect place for a group to come together, grab drinks and let off some steam! Hence the name, Break Bar!!The front portion of Break Bar on 9th Ave in New York is classic bar, but the plot twist is that in addition to drinks, you can purchase buckets of glass for varying prices to break! You are given safety glasses to use for protection for when you enter the back portion of Break Bar, where you get to let it out on a series of images ranging from a variety of public figures.The room is small, dark and there’s a barrier between you and what you’re throwing glass at. You can throw the glass as hard as you want, which is part of the “fun”! Releasing your tensions and frustrations by breaking glass is one way to have some “fun”! After a few moments, you’re back to the bar!You get a cool temporary tattoo that says I smashed 💩 @ Break Bar! Such a fun touch!If only there was food. Otherwise it’s a cool concept & something different to do. If you’ve had a rough day or just need to release tension grab a drink & some glass & eye glasses & go for it!! Responsibly and safely.The vibe and decor work for the concept. Loved the broken records and broken glass art accent the walls. - Wendy M.
