More info

The date

Forged Axe brought its Whistler axe-throwing pedigree down to Johnson Street, squeezed between MEC and Duer in Old Town. Private lanes, expert coaches, and a tap line of local craft beer mean you graduate from comically bouncing the axe off the target to a clean, satisfying stick while the drinks keep things flirty rather than cutthroat. Closed-toe shoes only, and let the coach coach.

How to do it

Book a lane, let the coach actually coach the rotation, and resist showing off until you can land a clean stick. Closed-toe shoes only, and the local craft beer is half the point, so order a pint to keep the trash talk loose between rounds. Give it about 90 minutes, then walk the win off down Johnson Street toward dinner or one more drink.
