DORSET’s first and only axe-throwing bar is to open at a new venue in Bournemouth town centre next week. 

Boom Battle Bar, which has venues across the country including Plymouth and Exeter, will have axe-throwing, augmented darts, shuffleboard and more. 

Opening on Thursday, October 20 at BH2 next to Brewdog, Boom Battle Bar has a variety of drinks on the menu, including premium draught lagers and specialty cocktails, such as Rose and Lychee Martini, mixed by the bar team. 

The quirky new bar will also be serving street-style snacks such as chicken wings, loaded nachos and freshly made pizzas.
