Should axe-throwing and alcohol mix? Greenpoint residents debate
An axe-throwing venue in Greenpoint is hoping to start serving up alcoholic drinks — but not everyone in the neighborhood is a fan of the idea. One neighbor at a meeting on Tuesday even suggested that tipsy tossing could lead to serious physical harm.
“I recently saw a video from last spring where in another business’ hatchet-throwing bar where a woman threw [the axe], it bounced on the floor, hit the wall, came back and almost took her head off and her boyfriend’s head off,” said Community Board 1 member Steve Chesler.
“They said it was a one in a million shot, but, if you’re going to go do work in your house with power tools, do you have a few beers first or a couple drinks?”
