He threw axes tonight, while I enjoyed a cold one. Owner Jeff and his staff are very welcoming. This boosted his confidence, which has been an ongoing project. Tonight he got more bullseyes during his hour session. Nice employees and customers. It was good to catch the Eclectic Company band. Also the pretzels with beer cheese are huge and quite tasty. My son enjoyed the flat bread pizza. He wouldn't share a slice with me, but he's a growing leviathan. This restaurant supports military members and first responders.

The lanes were not as long as the usual place I go to back home and you have to be careful not to trip on the black mat.

I think there are some improvements to be done to the place- the boards were a bit moldy and it was very dark with the lights off.

You ever had the urge to throw axes at zombies? If so, THIS IS YOUR PLACE!!!…read more Elysium is pretty much the definition of laid-back fun. I'd never thrown axes before but had some time to burn before dinner so gave it a try. You sign up for different increments of time; I got 30 minutes. Several lanes are available. Think of it like a short bowling alley - but with axes. As it was my first time I received a lot of mentorship. Turns out I was throwing too hard, so the axe handle kept hitting first. But when I loosened up I was hitting near the bullseye fairly consistently. Obviously - sharp weapons and alcohol go together, so there is bar stacked with craft beer. Noshes are also available although I didn't try that. My favorite setting was the one where you throw against projections of zombie heads. After I found that one, I basically stopped looking at other options...because why would you? So there you have it; sharp weapons, alcohol, and training for the Zombie Apocalypse, all wrapped into one!

They have a Game of Thrones/Dungeons and Dragon kind of theme going on, with cocktails named after the different houses and a page where you can roll for your drink. I went with a flight to try out some of their whiskeys, but they also make gin and vodka. The flight was ok, I find when you make all the things nothing really stands out, but the Everyday whiskey was a nice smooth sip which I very much enjoyed. For dinner I had the smoked brisket which was tasty, but the sides (garlic mashed potatoes, carrots and asparagus) were fire. Service was great, they weren't very busy so it was easy to get a table and get served. Overall I would definitely come back to roll for a random cocktail and enjoy more flights of their other offerings!

The "coach" was super nice and walked through safety guidelines and how to throw the axe. She continued to check on us through the night to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. There are two kinds of axes to try. I liked being able to switch it up. I was awful but still had fun! They have a small food menu of nachos and pizza along with a refrigerator of beer, White Claw, and Angry Orchard hard cider. (It would be great if in the future, they carried local drinks like Lost Boy Cider and Port City Brewing. Not super important, but locals supporting locals is always a nice touch that i notice when i go out). Overall, we had a great time. As opposed to some of the other reviews, the staff member never pressured us to leave. This could be because it wasn't busy. Either way, we felt welcome the whole time. Would definitely recommend!
