As the winter months start to actually feel like winter (remember that 70-degree day earlier this month?), Washingtonians might be planning trips to snowy mountain retreats or, perhaps, warm-weather beach getaways. But next month, a 22,000-square-foot venue is opening in Ivy City that blends the two seasonal concepts, with curling, “FootBowl,” and ax throwing.

Kick Axe and THRōW Social, housed in a former Pappas Tomato factory, will boast an assortment of games. The first floor will mimic a ski lodge, and include 12 ax-throwing ranges. Onsite “ax pros” guide guests in their attempts to hit a bullseye, and challenge players to games like “21” and “Around the World” which switch up the traditional darts-like rules.

For friends who’d rather watch their friends risk life and limb from a safe distance, there’s a nearby “loft” with leather seats, and food and beverage service. The menu is still being developed, but founder Ginger Flesher-Sonnier, the teacher-turned-CEO behind Escape Room Live, says it will include items like mac-and-cheese bites, chicken and steak appetizers, and chips and hummus.

The second floor—the space that holds THRōW Social—is where the tropical atmosphere comes in. Rentable cabana lounges feature high tops, flamingo string lights, and bamboo furniture bordered by faux palm trees. Here, guests can order bottle service, personal cotton candy machines, and refillable coolers for cocktails.

Games on the second floor include curling on a synthetic ice material, and FootBowl (yes, you read that correctly), a sport that blends the rules of bowling and cornhole using a football. Teams of four stand on either side of the range and take turns throwing the ball at the pins with the goal of being the first team to knock all of them down.

“A better description is probably football-bowling,” says Flesher-Sonnier. “It’s harder than it looks, and the games last about 15 to 20 minutes. But it’s really addictive and fun.”

In 2014, Flesher-Sonnier launched the Escape Room Live chain in Georgetown and Alexandria where corporate firms, government employees, and children hosting birthday parties bond over solving clues to breaking out of themed rooms (think Titanic and pirates). Her business famously profited $1.2 million after just 15 months of being open.

Flesher-Sonnier says she’s not worried about her quirky concepts sticking out in a corner of D.C. and Maryland that’s become a hub of brewpubs and distilleries. “I think it’s going to be wonderful for the area, and all of our neighbors are so excited for us to open because we’re an activity and not just a bar [or] restaurant,” she says.

Hers is not the only activity-based concept opening on Okie Street NE in February. On the same block, two D.C. mothers are opening The Lane, a social club that serves both beer and juice boxes and has chaperoned play areas for kids.

Flesher-Sonnier says Kick Axe/THRōW Social is also kid friendly: Children ages 8 and up will be welcome to use foam axes in the throwing range, and can play the curling and FootBowl games upstairs.

In the warmer months, Flesher-Sonnier plans to open outdoor seating on the front patio, a rooftop deck, and an outdoor bar. In the winter, she says the lounge will have igloos.

If this mix of lumberjack leisure and Winter Olympics games calls to you, reserve your spot at the grand opening on Friday, February 7, which will include an open bar and discounted games.

Kick Axe Throwing and THRōW Social DC has a soft opening on Jan. 31, and officially opens Feb. 7 at 1401 Okie Street NE. Open Wednesdays and Thursdays 3 p.m.-11 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays noon-2 a.m., and Sundays 11 a.m.-9 p.m. $29 per person for an hour of gaming.
