While most restaurants are simply known as a place to eat and relax, some owners can’t help but make theirs not just the talk of the town but the world even. If operating that unusual restaurant means becoming a big hit among customers then why not? Sometimes these eating places ended up more about the other services they offer rather than the menu. There’s the all-dwarf staff restaurant which naturally makes an interesting attraction, eating places where only two people can eat at a time at the world’s smallest restaurants and the dry diving experience while eating courtesy of the underwater restaurants in Maldives and Israel. The most bizarre I’ve read about so far would probably these two restaurants where patrons may release their anger.

Rising Sun Anger Release Bar

A bar in East China’s Jiangsu Province became a big hit among customers by offering an outlet for the stresses and strains of everyday life. At Rising Sun Anger Release Bar, customers can smash glasses or rant, curse, scream and shout from the top of their lungs. Their main attraction is the physical abuse you can do to their staff if you feel like you want to punch or kick somebody. The Bar employs 20 men in their 20’s and 30’s that have been given protective gear as well as regular physical training to prepare them for the job. For 50 to 300 Yuan (US$6.25-$37.50) patrons may ask them to look like whatever way they want before they attack them. For the worst stressed out cases counseling sessions are also available from four psychology students from local universities. Interestingly, most of the customers are women from the local service industry.

The place actually looks more like a theme park than an eating place. It is said to be one nice place for a family with kids who can play around the floating huts and the giant sculptures of monkeys, fishes, dinosaurs and even Mayan-Aztec themed structures. But if you’re here to release that pent-up anger, go ahead and smash a P15 cup or plate on the Tacsiyapo Wall. If that’s not good enough, you can choose a flower vase, wall clock and even a working P1500 TV set as you shout “Tacsiyapo!!!” which means Shame on you! This is said to be a good marketing publicity for this seafood eating place in Tarlac, Philippines. Most customers who smash stuff on the wall don’t really do it to release their anger, but rather to have fun with family or friends as they aim for the words on the wall that says: “Corrupt,” “Gossip,” “In-laws,” “Other woman” among others.
