Hi, we’re the Clarks - founders of Club Joyful. We opened Joyful with a mission to make being together as a family more fun, to create kid-friendly experiences that didn’t suck for adults, and to support parents with unique evening activities tailored to their needs. Our vision formed from the questions we continually asked ourselves as parents:

“why can’t live music start at 7pm so that I’m not out super late and exhausted the next day?”

“Is there a better alternative than just scrolling my social media to pass time during my kid’s after school classes”

“Mommy and Me classes when my kid was young are great, but how can I get support now that she is older?”

“Why isn’t there a restaurant that entertains my kid while I have a date night with my partner?”

“Why do we have to take turns and divide and conquer, why can’t we do things that are fun all together as a family?”
”How can we make friends with other cool parents, not just relegated to the people I meet at my kid’s school?”

It was these questions (and more!) that inspired us to create a place where parents could grab a bite to eat in a family friendly place where you don’t get yelled at when your kid runs around, where you got a massage during your kid’s art class instead of sitting in a cramped seating area, and where the evening entertainment was tailored to the needs and early bedtimes of parents.

A place where everyone was happy, with a community that supports one another through friendship.

We hope you will join us in this vision, we are here for you.
