"On the first floor of the new 22,000-square-foot Ivy City venue at 1401 Okie Street NE, I can try a dozen ax-throwing ranges run by Kick Axe Throwing, a growing chain with locations in Brooklyn and Philadelphia; the location promises a full kitchen and bar and serves comfort foods like smoked beef short ribs slathered in barbecue sauce, Bavarian pretzel sticks with cheese dip, and warm kettle chips with bleu cheese and alfredo. The ax-throwing floor is outfitted with fireplaces and a rustic lodge look that feels fit for a lumberjack, is staffed with “ax pros,” allows kids 8-and-up to throw (with the option to substitute foam axes), and charges $29 per person per hour to play." - Tierney Plumb
