Blade and Timber opened their newest location in the Kansas City Power and Light District recently. I was invited for their VIP Preview night, and let me take you for a sneak peek. For those of you who don't know, Blade and Timber are all about ax-throwing, and good food, and not to forget good times.
Co-founders Matt Baysinger and Ryan Henrich have a passion for bringing people together through remarkable, interactive experiences. This passion led them to open the first ax-throwing experience for Kansas, with Balde and Timber location in Kansas in 2017. Propelled by Blade and Timber's instant popularity, the duo opened six other locations in the US.
Why would you throw axes, you might ask? I say, why not. It's a fun activity whether you are with friends, or out on a date night, or even as a team-building activity for your workmates. You can book a private lane, or you can hare a lane. Or you can even rent the facility for a private event. I had never thrown an axe before, and if you know, my favorite sport is to park myself on a comfortable spot in my neighborhood coffee shop. But I enjoyed myself so much, that I have already planned the next visit with some of my friends,
There are coached to help you get started, or to master your best throw. The trick is to align your body in such a way so that you can give your best throw. With some practice, I can say, I could throw some axes. Make sure you wear closed shoes, as that's a facility requirement. I had been there with my family, and it was fun to be throwing axes together. If you have kids under 10, then they won't be allowed to throw the real axes, but they do have some foam axes, with velcro on them. So the whole family can have fun. Cue in the good times.
The
Blade and Timber crew know that you run up an appetite. Their brand new menu offers piping hot comfort food. Chef Taylor Petrehn is a three-time James Beard Award semifinalist has created a menu, inspired by meals shared around a campfire. I could dedicate a whole meal to their selection of artisan waffles, but they have a lot more to offer.
Chicken and Waffles, steak frites, or fried chicken sandwiches, there is something to satisfy every Lumberjack or Jill's appetite. They also have a selection of hand-crafted dips created from scratch for your choice of waffles.
So what are you waiting for! For your next weekend or your next special occasion, you can head to throw some axes, and enjoy some good eats, at a location of Blade and Timber, closest to you. It's my husband's birthday very soon, and we know where we will be celebrating with some of our closest friends.
