Glenwood just got a whole lot more fun with the opening of Smash, the new ping pong bar that blends great food, playful energy, and a lively social vibe. We stopped by recently to check it out, and it’s safe to say Smash lives up to its name—it’s an absolute hit.
The first thing you notice when you walk in is the atmosphere. It’s bright, modern, and buzzing without feeling chaotic. Ping pong tables line the space, but there’s plenty more to do. After grabbing a table, we kicked things off with a couple of cocktails, which were refreshingly well-made—balanced, not too sweet, and perfect for sipping between games.
The food menu is just as impressive. We ordered the beignets, which came out warm and pillowy with just the right amount of sweetness—an unexpected but delightful treat for a sports-bar-style spot. The hot honey pizza was the standout: crispy, slightly chewy crust with that perfect sweet-heat combo that makes you reach for just one more slice.
One of our favorite parts of the night was discovering that Smash is more than just ping pong. We ended up playing shuffleboard, too, and it was such a fun way to break up the night. Whether you’re competitive or just out to have a good laugh, there’s something here for everyone.
Overall, Smash is a great addition to Glenwood: upbeat, tasty, and full of personality. Whether you’re planning a casual date night, meeting up with friends, or just want to try something new, it’s the kind of place where the evening flies by before you realize it.
