Inside a repurposed lane space run by Spare Lanes, The Smash Room condenses a raw, physical release into a short, managed burst: protective gear, a selection of smashable items and hand tools, and a staff-monitored environment where you swing, shatter and walk away without doing the cleanup yourself.
