Battle Axes: Downtown Quincy will soon have two locations to let it fly

QUINCY – Quincy went from zero to two axe throwing spots faster than you can let your hatchet fly into a piece of plywood.

Following Joker’s Lounge bringing in the trendy recreational activity where people can release their frustrations with a few cocktails and flinging sharp objects, Quincy Axe Company will be making its debut soon, according to a news release from its owners.

Actually, it is a very safe activity that the responsible business owners strictly supervise. For example, Quincy Axe Company said they “provide coaches to teach proper methods to give participants the skills not only to be able to hit the bullseye, but also have a fun experience while throwing.”

Quincy Axe Company will be located at 625 Maine, Suite 102. It is in the former Phoenix Night Club location and is directly across the street from Joker’s Lounge.

“Axe Throwing is incredibly fun and offers a unique form of competition even branching into league play,”
said Curtis Sethaler, Co-Founder/Co-Owner of Quincy Axe Company. “By offering leagues we hope to have
consistent traffic into downtown not only lifting up Quincy Axe Company, but also other businesses in
downtown. When our downtown is strong our community is strong.”

“We are excited to bring a venue to downtown Quincy that is a destination not just for Quincy locals but
for those outside our community to come and enjoy the heart of our city in The District,” said Jarid Jones,
the other Co-Founder/Co-Owner of Quincy Axe Company. “We believe by offering an extraordinary option for
entertainment and recreation for all to enjoy, we create an inclusive culture that will continue to uplift our
community.”

Jones said both he and Sethaler will continue to work at their full-time jobs as they build their business at Quincy Axe Company.

So if there’s room for multiple bars, restaurants and shops in Quincy, surely there is room for multiple axe throwing locations. Perhaps this is the bowling alley of 2021? Maybe rival leagues between the two spots?

Plus, Jokers Lounge offers other gaming opportunities. It opened in 2017 and just got into the axe throwing game in August.

Jones said Quincy Axe Company is the only certified World Axe Throwing League (WATL) spot in the region and that will allow Quincy Axe Company to host local leagues, which could lead future participation in regional and national tournaments.
