Axe throwing venue serving beer, cocktails and finger food
"Stuck with this big tidal wave of emotions, there’s only one way to let it out: throwing an axe into a plank of wood while picturing your ex. The massive Old City axe-throwing bar has a long list of beers and a menu of sliders, flatbreads, and tacos like carne asada. But the most important thing it offers is the ability to release stress. And that’s exactly what you’ll need when you realize them forgetting your birthday was a huge indicator that they weren’t ready for a serious relationship." - candis mclean
"Ashley met up for a first date with Josh at the Ivy City entertainment hall. It was a flirty afternoon over canned booze (Corona for her, High Noon for him), followed by a few rounds of beer pong — and a kiss." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Kick Axe is an Old City bar where you can see if your fantasy of being a viking warrior has any legs. Outside of a long list of beers, flatbreads, and tacos on the menu, they have a singles’ night every Thursday and Happy Hour from 4-6pm (when things are half off). Stop by on a night when you need to relieve some stress, want a decent order of wings, or really think you have a calling to be the next Ragnar." - Candis R. McLean
"On the ground, flannel-heavy floor of the 22,000-square-foot complex at 1401 Okie Street NE, I found a dozen ax-throwing ranges that are part of a growing chain with locations in Brooklyn and Philadelphia; the bar plays up classic cocktails like Negronis, Old Fashioneds, and a chocolate-cherry Manhattan, and the food skews hearty with Bavarian pretzel sticks with cheese and mustard, kettle chips with blue cheese and alfredo, pigs in a blanket, plus shared snacks such as caprese salad, naan and hummus, and mac-and-cheese bites. Axe-throwing patrons can opt for Buffalo or barbecue flavors, kids eight-and-up can throw (with foam axes available as an option), the venue is staffed with “ax pros” for safety, and play is $29 per person per hour." - Tierney Plumb
"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
