    Came for my son's 16th bday and it was an AMAZING EXPERIENCE the kids had a blast!! Will for sure be coming back!! Would highly suggest this for bday's/team building exercise or just to let steam off!!!

    60 bottles, speaker box, hard drive, VCR, and various glassware from my husband's ex employer who effed him hard after 11 years of loyalty.

    Soooo cathartic! 30 minutes went by in a flash. Physically and emotionally draining, but in the best way. Amazing customer service and communications from Esteban. We will be back. This world continually provides reasons to return....

    The aftermath

    This was awesome. I worked up a sweat and had a therapeutic experience. So much better than Smash City!

    Had an awesome time at this rage room! Esteban had great communication from start to finish--booking was easy, and he explained everything clearly when we arrived. The experience itself was a blast! Smashing things in a safe and controlled space was surprisingly therapeutic and a ton of fun. Definitely recommend for stress relief, group outings, or just doing something different. Can't wait to come back!

    Esteban helped us with our appt and he was extremely kind and accommodating, truly a great human being. The room itself was amazing as well provided enough space to really thrash the glass and electronics and being able to play our own music made it even more fun. I highly recommend doing this with friends or even family it's more than just breaking things. It allows you to fully let loose and release any stress or repressed aggression. So I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this. Esteban if you're reading this you're a great man I wish you the best and I'll see you again!

    Break Stuff is a room where controlled chaos is contained, where you let out your rage, anger, frustration of everyday life. You can buy different packages in terms of the amount of stuff to break and the amount of time you want to spend in there. I purchased the $155/30 mins ALL YOU CAN BREAK package which included 4 boxes of bottles and 4 electronics. We were given gloves and face shield beforehand. Once we got into the room, the lights dim and flashes different colors. We get a speaker that you can connect whatever music you want. I recommend songs you can RAGE to. We played the metal band Asesino and it was perfect and oh so angry! I only saw 1 crate of bottles versus 4 boxes as they stated on the website (but maybe they meant 4 small boxes or 1 crate?!) and 4 electronic items including a large microwave, DVD player, and 2 drives. The weapons of choice was a metal crow bar, a hammer and a large sledgehammer. The sledgehammer did harm! What a workout! I was sweating so much, my face shield was sliding off my face! I was really into it. Great workout + releasing rage= FUN! Wear boots, long sleeve hoodie and jeans. A few things to note- Keep your mask on underneath the shield as it can get DUSTY in there. You are breaking electronics and probably not good to inhale some of the fumes/chemicals. There is a small closet to put your bag or your items that you don't want to break

    *Break room (rage room)

    * response time was great * understanding * welcoming * generous with extra bottles (bc we srsly needed it!)

    I took my husband here today (01/20/2024) for a birthday surprise. We had an absolute BLAST!!!!! I tried to keep it a secret surprise but ended up telling him lol. Esteban was awesome. Super fun and friendly to talk with! Made sure we were all set up to have our playlist (which was not going to lie, I spent about a week making the perfect playlist! lol). I reserved the unlimited Smashy Smashy session and it was perfect. We smashed up a microwave, a speaker, an old tv display. It was alll absolute HEAVEN. I can't recommend this place enough!!! I had a blast, my husband had a blast and we got to break sh*t!!!!

    "If you ever come near my daughter again...!"

    See all

    If I wanted to book for 6 people, how can I do it?

    Just call them and they will accommodate you

    Do you get kicked out for having a mental breakdown (ie crying screaming uncontrollably)?

    Definitely not. This is what we are here for and pass no judgment.

    Byob starts at 25.00 if you have purchased another package. 40.00 if it's the only package you do here. And will go up depending what you bring and how much of it. Thanks

Dress code: closed toe shoes Instructions were pretty simple, with form and feet placement. You can try 2-handed or single hand throws, with 3 different sizes of axes. It was crowded, so I used axe target lanes with no metal barrier between them, but this worked out fine since my boyfriend used the other lane. Axe retrieval after each throw is recommended due to the damage fees charged if the axe thrown hits another axe. I definitely will be back to do more axe throwing and maybe try knife throwing while I'm at it.

When we came in without a reservation, we were disappointed by how the situation was handled. The gentleman we spoke with came across as rude and did not make any effort to accommodate us or offer alternatives. I completely understand the importance of reservations and respecting business policies. However, customer service still matters in these situations. A polite explanation, helpful guidance, or even suggesting another time to return would have made a big difference in how we felt leaving the establishment. I hope the business considers making the reservation requirement more visible and improving how walk-in guests are treated.

We made reservations and checked in. The young girl who helped us was very nice. She was friendly with a cool vibe. I forgot her name, but she just started working there like her second day. I would have to give a compliment to her because she did a great job! Even honored a refund because fathers throw for free this weekend since it's Father's Day! It wasn't posted online but there was an advertisement for it on the tv when we walked in. Then we went to Lane #8 where another employee greeted us, told us about the rules and served us drinks. He was very nice and attentive as well. Overall the place was nice and clean. There was jumbo jenga, and big uno cards. I saw some arcade games and claw machines. The bathrooms were nice and taken care of, there's a button on the wall, if you press it lights and music comes on like a party. Very cool. Our wood board was pretty damaged and seemed beaten. My axe didn't stick and it's the worse I've ever played. My man whooped me all four rounds for 75 minutes. But we still had a great time!

There isn't an axe throwing location in SF so when I found out Split The Wood is a mobile axe throwing company that can set up anytime at any venue, I immediately hired them for our happy hour during our team offsite and it was a hit!

Everything was super safe and enclosed in a cage so there were no accidents. Derek and his team are professional, on time, knowledgeable and a lot of fun. I would definitely hire them again for another event! Again, they can set up at any venue. If there isn't space inside your venue, they offer a wheels package too! Check them out for your next party, wedding, birthday, happy hour, holiday party, or just for fun!!!

Minus a star because our waiter kept forgetting things, whether it was one or two sets of utensils, one or two waters, one or two straws, he kept having to come back and forth from the kitchen which is kind of a far walk in the establishment (on opposite ends from our table, really). Also I would've appreciated if they had mentioned to us to book the games in advanced before it became all sold out. We had a big party and the least they could've done is to foresee that we would potentially like to play some bocce ball or whatnot after and ask us about it.
