Throw Axes
I like this idea so much—bonding over throwing weapons. You have a few options.
- Craft Axe - This downtown location is next to the Slider Inn and has a fun beer wall.
- Civil Axe - The Broad Ave. axe-throwing location is connected to Rec Room.
- Autobahn Axe - Throw axes in the go-kart place! Or race the karts, while you’re at it.
Rage Room
As far as I know, the only “rage room” in town is CRAZE. They're hosting a fun Galentine's Day event with drinks, smashing items, canvas painting, and much much more. You'll probably see me here, so say heeyy!
4. Get Drinks
A reliable plan whatever the occasion: cocktails and mocktails. For this list, I’m thinking cute, fun cocktail bars.
If it has a (*) you will need a reservation, but it would not hurt to call ahead to the other spots.
