Couple plans to open area’s first sour brewery
Anyone for some table tennis? Former owner of Harmonious Monks to operate Smash pingpong venue in Baymeadows. Pingpong players, prepare. Ash Properties and operator Dennis Klee are planning to build-out Smash pingpong in Baymeadows Junction at Philips Highway and Baymeadows Road. The almost 13,000-squarefoot space will accommodate 20 pingpong tables, two bars, a kitchen and restaurant seating for 265 people, Klee said Tuesday. There also will be four Klee private areas for corporate and other events. Smash is planned at 8206 Philips Highway, next to Scan Design. Ash Properties’ leadership owns Baymeadows Junction. “I think it’s going to go over very, very well,” Klee said, using the Topgolf bays as an example of fans waiting to play. Smash will rent tables by the hour. Those waiting will be given a pager and can, like at Topgolf, patronize the restaurant and bars. Klee sees the potential for group visits. “I will invite every Cub Scout and Boy Scout troop to get their pingpong merit badges,” he said. Klee, who owned the Harmonious Monks restaurants, said
