Evenden hurled cans of paint on the floor, pushed a TV, lobbed fruit from a fridge and caused a flood by turning on the beer taps.
She threatened to knife a female staff member if her demand to speak with Mr Hake was ignored.
And she burst a balloon display and stabbed a club sign, sofa and cushions.
She and Mr Hake, 47, broke up at the start of last year, a court heard.
She went to the club late on June 16 with a kitchen knife in her handbag.
Her £5,300 wrecking spree ended when her mum arrived.
Evenden, of Chatham, admitted threatening a person with a knife and criminal damage.
Judge Philip Statman told her she was lucky no one was hurt, adding: “You proceeded on an orgy of destruction.”
He handed Evenden a 12-month jail sentence, suspended for two years, at Maidstone crown court.
Mr Hake gave Boris Johnson a team shirt when the then-PM visited last year.
The side will play in the Isthmian Premier, England’s seventh tier, next season after promotion.
