Come for the food, stay to beat your waiter.

At the Rising Sun Anger Release Bar in Nanjing, China, the clientele are allowed and even encouraged to take our their daily frustration and rage in a mostly harmless fashion: by attacking specially trained employees. The customers may rant, smash glass, or perhaps even kick some shins if the mood inspires them. The employees are provided with protective gear.

Most of the patrons, as it turns out, are women who work in the service or entertainment industries. Patrons can also request that their servers dress in a particular way, so as to better resemble a boss or co-worker. The term ‘Rising Sun,’ meanwhile, generally refers to China’s neighbor, Japan - a geographical relationship which China has rarely, if ever, enjoyed.

In case of a particularly stressed client, the bar’s owner, Mr. Wu, provides one further service. He has recruited psychology students from local universities to offer psychiatric counseling.
