Avenue for Sports Enthusiasts

With a substantial 30,000 square feet of space, Splash at Thrive City is designed to cater to all types of sports aficionados. The venue boasts over 75 televisions, including an impressive 840-square-foot curved LED screen capable of showcasing multiple games simultaneously—a feature perfect for high-energy events like March Madness. Real-time scores and news will scroll across a video ticker, ensuring fans stay plugged into the action while enjoying the atmosphere.

A Comfortable Setting for Everyone

The layout includes a ground-floor seating area equipped with booths and bar-height tables, along with a private second-level lounge featuring cozy couches and an outdoor veranda. This design not only fosters a vibrant viewing environment but also ensures comfort for patrons enjoying the games with friends or family.

Technology-Driven Experience

The design and execution of Splash have been thoughtfully curated by Sidecar Hospitality, which is renowned for establishments like Pacific Cocktail Haven and Kona’s. Co-founder Jan Wiginton emphasizes the importance of making a bold statement, particularly with the enormous screens that rival those found in cities like New York and Las Vegas. “We want everybody to be surprised when they walk in; the Bay Area doesn’t have anything like this,” said Wiginton.

In addition to game viewing, Splash integrates various entertainment options. The game room features foosball, basketball arcade games, pool tables, and golf swing simulators, making it a versatile destination for both watching and engaging in sports.
