Kraken Axes & Rage | Penn Quarter

"Last year, D.C.’s first ax-throwing bar, Kraken Axes, hit a snag at its Park View home. It relocated to the opposite end of the city last summer. The Georgia Avenue is reportedly being taken over by an all-day cafe and bar." - Tierney Plumb

"New year, new location. The former Park View outfit recently relocated to capitalize on the Canadian pastime that’s all the rage stateside, allowing curiosity seekers to toss axes at wooden targets. If you make a reservation, remember to wear closed-toe shoes." - Tierney Plumb

"Popville notes that Kraken Axes has opened a spot with axe-throwing lanes at 840 E Street NW. Bowling alley refreshments like wings and beer are available through packages on league nights." - Gabe Hiatt

"The Washington Post explores how ax-throwing spots like Kraken Axes are convincing D.C. officials that alcohol and hurling sharp objects can indeed go together." - Alison Baitz

"D.C.’s first ax-throwing bar, Kraken Axes, is moving forward with its right to serve alcohol at its D.C sites. The bar was under fire for allegations of operating without a license and interfering with an ABRA investigation. Kraken Axes co-owner Anna Valero has started to implement new policies and practices to ensure its Field House DC and Park View locations comply with the law. A valid Certificate of Occupancy for Kraken Axes needs to be submitted before a permanent license will be issued." - Tierney Plumb
