FOX: Organizers of a special ax-throwing league in Canada say they’d like to make the experience even more fun — by getting a license to serve alcohol.
As the Toronto Star asked, “What could possibly go wrong?”
The Backyard Axe-Throwing League brought in a safety expert to its six locations in Ontario within recent months, the newspaper reported. “We received glowing reviews on the safety to go ahead with the application for the liquor license,” CEO Matt Wilson said. more
I’m tired of outsiders rendering an opinion on what is safe and what is not. The pub knows what it’s getting into. There is always liability to consider, and the business and its insurer know that their financial survival is on the line. Let them decide – and if somebody is hurt then let them deal with the responsibility.
I dunno Dan. There is a drink called the axe murderer. Could be trouble.
I axed you for a beer….
I’m a lumber jack and I’m OK.
Mix like a Long Island Iced Tea and serve in a beer mug – I can see why!

Bad Brad- Thanks for that mental image.lol Happy belated birthday.
Hi Left Coast Dan; While they may know what they’re getting into, that’s the owners you’re talking about not the patrons. I can imagine it’s 2:00 AM and while the bartender and the bouncer (with luck it’s Justin Trudeau going back to his first career after being thrown out of office) are distracted, one of the patrons sits up suddenly and says “I’ve got a great idea! Anyone have an apple?”
Drunk Canadian Hipsters throwing sharp objects. What could go wrong? Just ask lefty.
Just wait for Lizzie Borden Day at that bar
@scr_north – that is exactly my point though. The owners, if they are interested in their business surviving and succeeding, are certainly thinking about stuff like that. And if they think it’s a good idea and are willing to shoulder the risk, which would certainly include some safety steps, then I don’t want people who have zero involvement and active imaginations to shove their opinions in. It happens all the time and it pisses me off.
Who axe them for their opinion anyway?
It never hurts to axe
Better’n darts!
Don’t axe me. I just poor the liquor…
@LCDan I hear your Libertarian side and don’t disagree. However,the patrons are also subject to risk and count on the Club to get it right. But, if the Club gets it wrong the patrons’ risk is far more serious, even life ending. If wrong the Club is subject to suit, damages, loss of livelihood all better than dead.
Looking the bury the hatchet over a few cocktails? Afterall, it looks like they are throwing a hatchet, not an axe.
Watch this” hold my beer.
What’s the world coming to. First they ban Dwarf Tossing and now you can’t throw sharp objects in a bar either!
Shit! They banned dwarf tossing? Now you tell me.
