    Smash rooms
    Danny G.

    This is a great place to take a date, have a night out or honestly try some incredible whiskey/bourbon. This was our first time to go to a smash room and getting to take out a little bit of aggression from the last two years of life. The set up inside is pretty simple. 8 lanes of axe throwing, 2 pool tables and a really simple bar. 6 beers on tap and maybe 60-80 in cans/bottles plus what has to be one of the best selections of bourbons I have ever seen. This is a one of a kind selection for sure. The beer cost is a little high but the snack cost is way cheaper than you'd expect. Easily the best place I can think of to take a date. Pick some music, break some things for 10-30 minutes together and find yourself your own little Zen moment of breaking everything in sight. The axe throwing cost is better than most places in town. It is the only smash room I am aware of but being able to break things and not have to clean up is a major win. I would recommend wearing socks to here if you're going to smash things and comfy clothes since you are going to be in a jumpsuit. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a fun night out. The customer service/owners are wonderful and you will be impressed.

    This is a heck of a good time place. I don't think we realized just how much we needed a good smash. This locally owned business is definitely a must visit if ever you feel frustrated, happy, mad, silly, sad, or just in need of some good old fashioned fun. It's got a something for everyone. We did the 15 min smash room...and could have stayed smashing for an hour. You get all suited up in safety gear to keep you from injury while you smash things with the implement of your choice. They've got bats, hammers, crowbars, wrenches, and even sledgehammers. I think I preferred the bat to get some really good swings in. The crowbar and wench were great for just demolishing all the bits of glass to teeny tiny shards. You get a room with a table full of goods to smash and a few extras in a box. You can add in larger pieces if you so desire! I definitely desire! The axe throwing alleys will be our next visit with the kids and likely a birthday coming up as well. You'll get instruction on throwing and scoring and all the help you can use to hit your target. The kids are now begging us to go back so they can throw axes! 7/5 stars here - We left the smash room feeling so refreshed and happy. Stress relief 101.

    I've always heard about places like this but have never been able to experience it. My alter ego came out and want to give smashin and breaking shit a try. How did I never know I needed this type of therapy before? Smashin Good Time is a chill location. On the small side but I think that's better to keep things cozy and intimate. The staff is friendly and helpful and walk you through the entire process. They offer axe throwing, and have some billiards table in the back too. Music playing, and cocktails and small foods available as well. The place is clean, and the atmosphere is vibin. Again, I've never been to this type of establishment so I don't know how the prices compare but we had a great time and are happy we got to experience it. #mysecretsparks #smashingoodtime

    Came here to hangout with my fiance and his friend for a fun Friday night! It was great because it was right down the street from my place! First impression of the place was the good music. I liked all the songs they played, it created a good ambiance. The staff was nice and helped us quickly. We made the reservation online and also completed the waivers beforehand but if you don't, they have tablets to complete the form. They have alcohol and food to purchase. The prices seem normal. We got to have two target boards which was nice. The employee gave us an intro on all the rules before we started. There are chalk boards and chalk for score keeping and 2 axe options. If you ask, you can use the ninjas stars which I personally preferred because I absolutely sucked at throwing the axe. It was so fun though. We paid for the hour for $25 per person and they give each group a little timer. The hour felt like it was a good amount of time. It was pretty busy inside but it wasn't too loud. They also have a wreck room option but I think it's expensive for how long you have the room for. We enjoyed our time and I'll be telling more friends about this place!

    So much fun!!!

    What a great time! We were greeted by Jay and Ardith and given a tour of the facility. We sat down at the bar and enjoyed a cocktail while we watched the other patrons throwing. Soon it was our turn and we sucked for the first 10 minutes. Ardith came over and showed us the finer points. Then Jay came over to show us even more points. We went from ZERO to BULLSEYE in no time at all. The bar is incredibly well stocked and the cocktails were awesome. This is a place I would go to just for the cocktails! Next time we are planning on trying the smash rooms! Go here! Tell them Dasher sent you!

    Wow! We booked this as a team bonding event for our ZLINE customer service team and it was so worth it! The customer service was just absolutely incredible from booking to the actual event. They were incredibly friendly and accommodating for such a large group (17). We booked about three weeks in advance and they were so thorough with the instructions - make sure to sign the waiver before going to make it easier on everyone. The owners took video and group photos for us and air dropped everything after we were finished. And also did a fantastic job explaining the ax throwing. The food was just what you needed after exerting all of your energy SMASHING Our group works in a high stress environment and this was just the thing we needed. We will be back and cannot thank the owners enough! Make sure to tip because they absolutely deserve it!!!

    If you ever need some stress relief therapy, Smashin' Good Time is the place! I definitely recommend the Purge Smash Room Experience and just have at it! Also, I would like to mention the amazing selection of alcoholic beverages, drafts and fine spirits they have to choose from. Love the vibe this place provides and the staff are great. While in the smash room, I had chosen the golf club and bat. Great selections by the way beside breaking the golf club at the end which I apologize for. I got a little carried away which will happen! I definitely can not wait to come back and try the Axe Throwing!

    We have been meaning to visit for some time now and finally made it! The place seems small from the outside and makes you wonder how much fun can you really have in such a Tiny space, then, you walk in !! They have a bar and offer some good food selection, then a section for ax throwing, then the rooms where all the smashing happens, some pool tables and the fun just keeps on going on and on. We were warmly greeted, directed to the waiver station, and then "Sky" took it from there. She gave us all the gear we needed to stay safe, keep all out fingers, toes, eyes and ears nice and safe. Some overalls, a hard hat, eye protection, steel toe shoes (or overshoes if you didn't want to wear someone else's shoes) and some gloves and we were ready to pick out our weapons !! A baseball bat, a big wrench and a sledgehammers for good measure!! Sky set up the table with the most precious, delicate and valuable antiques they had available for our enjoyment. And we did enjoy !!! Be Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha (that's my evil laugh) It was a great time and will be returning soon to try out some ax throwing and maybe have a snack or drinks while we watch others enjoy what they have to offer. Overall, definitely a smashin good time !! Will definitely return and recommend to everyone I can !!

    This is a difficult review. My family and I went here to throw axes. We had a great time!!! The place is nice we had plenty of room we went at a great time and we were all able to sit and watch when it wasn't our turn. We got a lesson on different ways to throw the ax and different games we could play. My trouble was with the owner and this issue happened twice. The first time was when we had a Yelp event where we were supposed to participate in the smashing room and ax throwing. We did the smash room then we were to throw axes, the owner said she couldn't afford as a small business to have a night of only free events. Which in my mind I wondered then why say yes to Yelp? So hubby and I got 2 coupons for another night to throw axes. We wanted to use them when we went with our family, once again the owner stated she couldn't as a small business afford to have us use the free coupons together, she wanted us to use only one. We worked around it because we had family with us so we had more transactions so we were able to use both coupons. It tainted the event, which is unfortunate because it is a cute, close, local place.

    Inside the smash room. You can buy additional items to smash too.

    This place was so fun! If you're coming here for the first time, be aware that it's tucked away right next to Smith's. It's easy to miss, but spacious inside! They have plenty of axe throwing lanes and the smash rooms were a good size. All the gear you need from protective headwear to shoes are provided for the smash rooms. I love that they have a full bar and offer some food options too

    We were in town for a softball tournament and the girls wanted to do a rage room. With some planning they were able to accommodate our group of 11. You sign a waiver, get safety gear, goggles, hard hat, & a safety talk. Then you get put in a room to break stuff! There are cc tvs posted outside the room so you can see what's going on. You can also buy additional items to break like computer monitors, flat screen tvs, etc for a nominal fee, or bring in your own stuff for free. The place also has a full bar with a munchie menu, axe throwing & 2 bar size pool tables in the back. Would definitely come again!

    Sparks Lounge used to be Sidelines…read more Sidelines had a real bad reputation for fighting and many other not so swell nighttime activities. I am a professional bar fly and I wouldn't step foot in that place. It went from a grungy bar to a biker bar to an ECV bar. It is currently under new ownership and looking to change that reputation a bit. My husband and I ventured in this weekend to see if it is turning around and it does appear to be doing so, slowly but surely. The entire place seems cleaner and the lighting seemed brighter although still appropriate for a bar. The demographic of the clientele is improving and the bar staff as friendly and attentive. They had a country bad playing when we went and the sound quality was great. Not to quiet yet not overpowering. Drink prices are not bad. They have two pool tables that were in use and quiet a few tables with chairs facing the stage most of which were also in use. The bar itself is pretty long with what I would guess is about 15 seats or so. My biggest gripe about the place is and always has been that they don't have any windows. It feels like you are drinking in a closed up room which you are but it makes it really easy to loose track of time, but I guess that really boils down to personal responsibility. We did notice that the front door as a window now, which is nice. I think new ownership can continue to turn the place around and I look forward to popping in every once and awhile and checking out the changes and increasing stars!

I had saw a cotton candy drink and showed it to my friend and that was all the convincing that was needed! It was the perfect chill and relaxing vibe after a long and busy week. I love the glow of the place and the music was good. There was even security on site which is always good. We were fortunate enough to have Valerie the owner behind the counter, during my very first time to Tipsy's she was behind the counter. Most of the drinks for ladies night were $10, there were some really fun ones that were outside of that that are on my list for next time including a ducky in a bathtub, and even having a cocktail in a purse. I enjoyed chatting and commending Valerie for her and her families' creative business ventures. I loved learning about a new business soon to open- the Social Club which will be on Victorian. I love how more nightlife is coming to downtown Sparks to revitalize the area down there. I had been in the area and saw the signage and got super excited. I even learned that Señor Tequila's was a family member's business wow- so cool! I thought the drink- which was a special - Daydreaming which consisted of mango, passionfruit and prosecco. It was a beautifully served drink and tasted amazing. My friend even asked Valerie for some extra cotton candy and she was sweet enough to serve us extra in cups. Totally would have stayed to try more cocktails but my friend wanted to venture. Can't wait to come back to venture the ducky drink and some other cutesy ones.

Third, I just like playing nickel video poker in a relaxed environment and when it's at the bar, even better. Drinks come faster that way. Speaking of drinks, they have the well stuff for the rookies who just order a rum and coke or gin and tonic. But for those in the know, all you have to do is ask for the good stuff and they will pour it for you, and they do have the good stuff. Full disclosure, they are a whiskey bar first and foremost, so they have more of that than anything else, but just to name a few others, they do have DonQ rum and Don Julio tequila so unless you are a high maintenance drinker, you can find what you are looking for. It is also worth noting that they bill themselves as a craft cocktail bar, which means they can and will make you a very nice mixed drink, speaking of the high maintenance among us. There are pool tables and leagues are a regular thing here as well as a nice little William Hill sportsbook in the corner. It closes early though, so keep that in mind. There are no less than a dozen beers on tap at any given time as well as several bottle and can options. Plenty of TV's above the bar and Direct TV, so they get almost anything you are looking for. The bar slots seem to be pretty loose most of the time and although I rarely play video Keno, I have seen many people cash out hundreds of dollars on a fairly regular basis playing it. Now for the bad...It is a truck stop bar and that in itself is not a bad thing, but sometimes, well...Truckers can be a lot to take in. Also, you will come home smelling like smoke. Otherwise, stop by if you are in the 'hood and take a look for yourself. Good place to pregame. If nothing else, check out the gun collection throughout the casino and bar, it is worth the trip alone.

A couple weekends ago we called to see about the dinner sometime early Friday evening, but learned they had already sold out and stopped serving. So while in town this weekend, we stopped by early evening (around 5) for the famous dinner and sat at the bar sipping drinks while we watched the seafood and pasta being prepared. It was less than $20 for a large plate of pasta with tons of shrimp and garlic bread on the side. Between that and the shrimp cocktail appetizer that the two of us shared, we left full and very satisfied. Great staff, lively atmosphere, good prices, and a ton of fun things to look at while sitting at the bar. They have a pool table, and there's a barber shop attached (but we haven't been there when they've been open), and not sure if theyre related or just sharing a space. I highly recommend checking out this bar if youre in the mood for a drink, and if you're lucky enough to stop by on a Friday night, you're in for a treat with the dinner. Bring some gum for after dinner - lots of wonderful chunks of potent garlic in the scampi! :)

However, the iced tea seemed like it came straight from a soda fountain rather than being freshly brewed--in a higher-end restaurant like this, I definitely expect fresh-brewed tea. As for the deviled eggs, they tasted good, but the "lobster" on top was so miniscule that it could have just as easily been tiny pieces of shrimp. It was nearly impossible to tell if it was actually lobster meat. For our entrees, I ordered the Korean Short Rib Tacos, and my dining partner ordered the fish tacos: - Korean Short Rib Tacos: Decent overall. The sauce had a nice, flavorful kick to it. - Fish Tacos: A BIG miss. The fish was clearly not cooked fresh for our meal--it tasted and felt as though leftover fish from yesterday had simply been reheated in a microwave. The consistency and flavor were completely off, to the point where my partner took only one bite and couldn't eat any more. This was a major disappointment. We really wanted to like this place because the setting and space are truly spectacular, but given the quality of the food and drinks, I'm not sure if we'll return.
