An idea whose time has come. A regular bar for irregular people. As a day drinker I know when a bar has character. Attentive staff, clean rest rooms and plenty of mojo. read more

Halloween theme at Break Bar on Thursday night. Lots of specials and super crowded. Very loud. Great vibe! Order 1 round of drinks before heading to next bar. Fun night but I wanted some air. Great costumes seen! read more

Go for the vibe not for the food...break bar was a fun experience. Dark bar, drinks flowing, packed bar, light bites. Ordered some bar bites, bucket of glasses to throw, some mocktails and cocktails and got the party started. Idk if the glasses provided were clean or had multiple uses...(yikes) went into the break room and relieved the days pressure. read more

I came here for an event, and the drinks were amazing. Mikey and Austin really hooked me up. I didn't know how much I needed to throw glass at people that I didn't like. It was such a great release. This is a great place to come to let off some steam and get some drinks in. I will absolutely come back. I enjoyed my time. It's a nice bar not too big and the break room is secluded and safe. Don't forget your glasses. read more

Break Bar - Tequila and pineapple - Sports Bars Near Me - New York, New York

This place is insane in the best way--an absolute stress reliever and a last minute find that turned into one of my favorite gems. Buy a bucket full, a bit pricey, but you will thank me and understand why once you're in it. Been here four separate times with different people and every single one of them loved it. Drinks are simple, nothing too special, but the bartenders are always very chill. Long day after work? This is exactly where you need to be. The bar has one goal and it executes it perfectly. read more

Came here on a whim after a long day, just looking for a fun, laid-back night out. From the moment we arrived, the staff at the door were super welcoming and encouraged us to try out their breaking glass activity. Check-in was quick and easy, and even though it was a full house for a Saturday night, we were still able to find seats without an issue. The space was definitely lively and a bit crowded, but there was still enough room to move around comfortably. Our bartender was really sweet and made great drinks , the cranberry vodka and Long Island were both spot on. We didn't pay extra for the additional glasses to smash, but the six cups included were enough to make the experience fun and satisfying for a casual night. I can see why people would want to buy a full bucket though as it definitely adds to the excitement. The crowd was respectful, and the bathrooms were decently clean, which is always a plus. Overall, a great spot for an stress-relieving, spontaneous night out! read more

Good vibes. Breakable shit + digital photobooth in the back. Would come back with more anger.

Definitely a fun spot for an activity and drinks! I did not get to try the food, but we did order the flight special of 4 beers (garage, 2x shandy, and cider). They came in small mason jars glasses which was easy for us to finish. The "break" aspect is what makes this spot! I spent an extra $20 on empty bottles to throw and it was pricey for just 4 bottles but worth it! read more

Fun concept! Kind of expensive. If you're going here it's for sure to break glasses. Very young crowd

Fun bar we discovered as a group. Great drinks that are strong and taste really good. They had some fun options with lavender and strawberry. Service was fairly quick. The break bar is unique where you get to smash your glass at a wall and they even project photos of villains or people you don't like. They provide safety goggles (unclear if they clean them between people) after you sign a waiver. It is a vibe for medium sized groups. read more

Came here to celebrate my friends bday and she had a great time smashing bottles How it works is you can tech come in and whatever drink you finish you can break which is prob better but bc we pre booked it we had a table to sit down and hangout which is def recommended for large groups. But do take into consideration how many ppl in your group are actually drinkers bc you will need to finish your drink to break that bottle! You can also purchase a bucket of empty bottles to throw and have fun for $20 on top of your package as well S/o to GM Justin who was great to work with and super friendly! read more

10/10 experience! I came in with a tense friend at 6:30 on a Tuesday and was immediately approached by the GM, Justin. We ordered our drinks (beautifully made) and immediately went to town to throw our glasses. The service is beyond helpful and the drinks were perfect. Letting them go was a release we didn't know we needed. I will be back once a quarter at least! read more

Genuinely the most pathetic tater tots I've ever seen. Barely thawed pile of mashed potatoes was brought out with full confidence it was edible. I've never in my life sent food back and I immediately knew I wouldn't be eating or paying for it. The concept of a bar where you break things is fun and I'm sure that's great but I was here because it was close to my job and I needed a quick lunch. Whoever is in your kitchen in the afternoons needs a talking to because it's downright unacceptable eats coming outta there! read more

Had a great time watching the World Cup, and incredible service and fun environment! I would recently recommend!

SMASH! What a fun concept for a bar. The space itself is nice, feels mostly like a local sports bar with a bit of clubbiness (dim lighting, some music blaring). Pretty standard beers on tap, as well as cocktails and other drinks. Service was solid, there was one bartender staffing the entire place, and he did a great job. We were there during a sleepy Sunday afternoon, but our experience was great. And then the hook -- getting to smash glassware! You sign a waiver online, and then get a wristband that gives you access to a room dedicated to breaking glass. You can break the glasses from your finished drinks, or buy buckets of empty glassware solely for the purpose of smashing. Either way, it's so much fun once you get to the designated glass area. Well worth a visit for a standard bar outing with a fun bonus activity to take out some stress! read more

Perfect spot to get some stress out.. and they have happy hour! After a stressful work week, it was the best way to end my work trip before heading home. Service was very attentive and kind. Whatever drinks you finish, you take the glass into the break room and smash them against the wall. Highly recommend to check out! read more

If you're near Time Square you have to visit Break Bar. Whether you want to watch Football or Dance the night away, the vibes and ambiance are amazing. The absolute best part is that you get to break the glassware you drink out of . You go into a back room and throw the glasses at a wall. Exhilarating and so much fun. You have to ask for Julien. He is attentive, fun and hard working. He made our experience wonderful. I'm definitely coming back next time in NY. read more

I like this bar. The whole point of this bar is to drink and smash the glass. Emotions are great. Service is very nice. I don't like the menu there at all. Food is not good. But I still come there time to time, just for glass smashing fun read more

Laid back bar with the novelty option to smash your glass post-drink. Be prepared to fill out and sign a waiver on your phone and show to the bartender prior to smashing your glass in the back room. You'll receive a bracelet and off you go! You're paying a premium for your drink for the privilege to smash your glass, but well worth it if you're in good company and looking for an experience. Goggles are provided in the smashing room and you'd have to be (excuse the pun), really smashing drunk to hurt yourself doing so. Elon Musk, Chris Brown and Trump are all fodder for glass smashing as a video screen displays various polarizing figures that bring out potential rage in your average fellow human. Wouldn't make it part of my daily rotation as it's a trek to the west side -- but bartenders are chill and it's near the Spiral building if you're looking for something different on a weekday post-work that doesn't involve buying a $50 ticket to go up to the Edge with the tourists. read more

This bar is just totally awesome. Not only are the bartenders very friendly but the idea of this bar is great. Basically, after you have your drink, you can go into the smashing room and throw your bottles, glasses or whatever. This is a wonderful way also to let out your aggression or if you had a bad day. I can't believe it took me this long to come here after living in the city all my life! read more

Scarlet was the best!! This bar was so much fun and affordable. I cant wait to come back. The service was great!!

Worth it! If you need a low-key place to catch up with friends and blow off some steam, Break Bar is perfect. Not only can you smash the glass from each drink you drink, but you can also purchase a bucket (or three!) of empty beer bottles to smash. They also offer to put up a photo of whoever/whatever you want to throw your glass/bottles at! I was pleasantly surprised that it felt safe. You have to wear safety goggles and there's a special room in the back for the smashing. Go and have a great time! read more

Omg I think I found my new favorite spot. Stumbled across this gem walking through the city and it did not disappoint! The premise is you smash your glass after drinks at the bar. We ordered the strawberry and jealous and it was sooo good. I had two it was THAT good. In order to smash the glass afterwards you need to sign a waiver. The place is usually packed by 8pm so I'd recommend getting there early. They played NSYNC and Linkin Park, just good vibes all around. The security at the entrance, Kevin and Mike were so welcoming and said hi and bye to us at the front door. I look forward to coming here again - highly recommend. read more

This bar was such a good find! I would highly recommend it to anyone that is visiting the area. The fact that you can drink your drinks and collect all the glassware to then break it after it such a cool concept! I have not tried their food here so I cannot comment on that. However, the drinks here are pretty good and decently priced! Also the bartenders are super friendly and are pretty quick to serve you. They do a great job to make sure that everyone is getting their orders taken in a timely matter. Another bonus about this place is that they have a decent selection of board games you can play while you are drinking and hanging out. Overall, next time I am in NY, I will definitely be visiting this bar again! read more

The vibes and customer service was pretty good. The food was absolutely disgusting. It was all frozen and had the obvious frozen taste. I originally ordered bbq wings but they ran out of bbq sauce. I then switched to buffalo wings and requested bleu cheese, which they did not have. The loaded fries were soggy and the mystery meat was questionable. I didn't drink so I can't comment on that but the food was 0/10. read more

I'll preface my review by saying this: this visit came at a very, very good time. My best friend had scheduled this visit to the wrecking club about two weeks in advance for just the two of us. It's appointment-based and you need to arrive 15 minutes before your start time to go over safety instructions and put on safety gear. Safety gear included the helmet, jumpsuit, optional boots (I used them because I didn't want to ruin my sneakers), and gloves--you're also provided plastic gloves and socks for hygienic purposes. The staff stress that if you are late, this will eat into your time, and since each session is 30 minutes, each moment is pretty precious. I believe they also have late hours, but we went towards the late afternoon. Our safety instructors were kind and diligent about what we could hit (the target wall, the items, and the mannequin) and what we could not directly hit (the other non-target walls, the floor). During our session (which I think was the smallest package), we were provided with two bats, two crowbars, and a sledgehammer. We kind of played with everything but with the sledgehammer being too heavy, we both mostly stuck with bats. We were also given two keyboards, a mannequin, ten glasses (in total), and a fax or copy machine (I couldn't tell or care what it was; I was there to SMASH). To make everything better, they have a speaker where you can play music to pump you up. YOU CANNOT SMASH THE SPEAKER. The speakers are set up for both iphones and android phones. It was such a release to break and beat things. My keyboard laid in ruins; I felt great about it. My friend preferred throwing the bottles and I preferred batting them into the target wall. The safety instructors look through the camera and check up on you if they are concerned. It was very much appreciated. They have a tip jar but also have their cashapp/venmo listed on the wall. After our thirty-minute session we left, feeling physically and emotionally relief. It's a real workout so we both were sore for days after. I strongly recommend bringing a change of clothes and only wearing light clothes under the jumpsuit; trust me, you get very sweaty. All in all, highly recommend, especially if you hear some news that really ticks you off. we didn't try the drinks but probably would next time. I will definitely return. read more

the bartender was so nice and easy to talk to. the drinks were great prices and breakable!

Mixed drinks were not good so instead of asking for a remake we just switched up to beer. Bartender wasn't the kindest and was attending more to his lady friend who got there with her friends so we didn't stay very long. Once we finished our 3rd round we tapped out and went somewhere else. read more

we traveled far to come here, I used to be a frequent customer here and loved this place! i'm quite upset with tonight's experience. the bouncer didn't let my 21 year old friend with a GOVERNMENT ISSUED temporary ID into the bar. (he also gave us trouble to a member of our party with her legal ID, who was the oldest of all of us. but besides the point) we left, and then went back in to speak with the manager (who is the bouncer) and he wasn't at the door. at least 5 people walked in without being checked. i found the bouncer at the bar and asked about this situation since this has been a plan for a while for us. when he said he doesn't accept the legal document, i asked where in the bar/establishment it states this rule and he said "every bar in new york." which is most definitely an incorrect statement since every other bar we've been to took us this place has never given me or anyone of us trouble. get a new bouncer stat. this is irresponsible and will push customers away. tried to have a reasonable conversation with the manager and it didn't go too well. he physically pushed her out. i LOVED this place and so do my friends; it's a unique and interactive activity that sets them apart from many other bars in the city. this interaction and hostility really spoiled the night. to add- the rudeness and attitude was very uncalled for. i get that both parties were frustrated but as someone who works in the industry, i know that behavior is not allowed and heavily discouraged. we were no threat to the establishment. please treat people with kindness and respect. we want to come back but only if we would be treated better. read more

I had a fun time. My niece and I came here and has a few drinks with some bites. Had the waffle fries with chicken bites and they were decent. I mean it's bar food, and not really what you're there for, but it does the job. The drinks were nice. I had the rose fizz and my niece had the strawberry margarita. Also had a cranberry sauce later. I liked that drink most of all. It was fun to throw the glasses afterwards; you get safety goggles and have to sign a waiver before any breaking commences. Definitely a nice novelty place to bring some friends to if you don't want to go all out for a break room. read more

We wanted to get a few drinks before going to a comedy show and found this little dive by our hotel. We were able to snag two seats at the bar near the kitchen. Our bartender looked like she had only been working there two days, but she was all smiles and had a very heavy pour. So, we decided to settle in and have some appetizers. About 20 minutes into the worst bar pizza I think I've ever had, I hear a loud smash coming from the back like someone just dropped a whole tray of ceramic dishes. Then after I had two and a half more drinks to get the taste of that nasty pizza out of my mouth I hear it again, only louder. This time I looked at the bartender and said, "Damn, sounds like the kitchen staff are kind of clumsy tonight." She laughed and pointed towards a back room called the "Throwing Range". I somehow missed the big sign. Turns out the bar has a policy for every beverage you purchase you can sign a waiver and go to the room and hurl your empties against the wall. I looked down at our collection of eight empty cocktail glasses. I thought about the $15 I just wasted on that pathetic pizza. Then I asked for a waiver...and a couple of extra complimentary glasses. *** Side note: Later that week I was in a specialty grocery store in Brooklyn and stumbled across the brand of frozen pizza they served us. And all I could think was here we are in possibly the pizza capital of the world and here they are serving frozen pizzas. We had a good time, but I had to take a star off for that. read more

Came here for the first time with some coworkers for a team event. FANTASTIC as a stress reliever as a team. We ordered some food and plenty of drinks. The food was OK. It's bar food, so some greasy bites that'll fill you up, but nothing that's really what I'd call delicious. The drinks were also OK. Definitely a little on the pricier side of NY, but considering you're paying for the cup to smash too, i think it's worth it. Bartenders were not super quick, but they handled the rushes well, so that's good. Honestly, the best part and saving grace of this place is how much fun you can have breaking the bottles and shot glasses. They were also kind enough to provide a little extra empties to smash for fun! Come for the fun. Not for outstanding food/drinks. Just the fun makes this worth it. I'll be back with my team! read more

Your average dive bar except you get to let some RAGE out. We went for happy hour and it was very quiet, but the bartenders were beyond kind- they even gave us some extra glass to break! And if you don't drink, you can still buy a soda with a breakable glass for a few dollars. read more
