I went to a rage room for a girls’ day out — here's why it's popular among women

There may be a smashing time to be had in a ‘rage room’ but it's not an alternative to therapy

When you think of a girls’ day out, pornstar martinis and avocado toast are likely come to mind. Taking it in turns to smash a stereo with a sledgehammer while Taylor Swift plays in the background is potentially a little more niche. That’s exactly the scene I found myself in when I recently attended Rage Room Ireland in Dublin’s Kylemore — the first of its kind in the country.

Organised as a wholesome Sunday activity, myself and two pals gowned up in red overalls and face shields to spend 20 minutes letting off some steam by smashing glass jars, bottles, a stereo, and a flat-screen TV.
