In theory, axe throwing inside a bar sounds like a pretty bad idea. But it's just the next step up from darts, if you really think about it. And BATL, a backyard axe throwing bar, has been making a successful living off it for quite some time, and people are loving it. BATL recently expanded to the Houston Heights, and they're still celebrating. Because their grand opening earlier this year was such a hit (pun intended), the want to do it all over again! On Tuesday, June 18th, BATL Houston Heights is offering free axe throwing to all visitors at their exciting ribbon cutting ceremony. And if they don't cut the ribbon with an axe, I'm going to be really upset. View this post on Instagram Meet Erin, a staff member at our BATL Calgary location. From running parties to running multiple leagues, she's always getting a work out. Literally! Erin is also a fitness instructor and has her own jewellery business, can you say #bossbabe? When’s she’s not busy working all day, she's meandering the world - you never know where she’ll be next. BATL Calgary is very lucky to have found this true gem. #batlstaffsunday A post shared by Backyard Axe Throwing League (@batlground) on May 19, 2019 at 2:10pm PDT From 4-7 pm, the nation's beloved backyard axe throwing league will be offering their services for free.
