Elwood's Hatchet House & Tavern is Boone's "first & only indoor Axe Throwing Tavern." Shannon, the owner, greets guests with a warm welcome while teaching proper axe-throwing skills to newbies, like myself. This makes for a fun and safe activity to get out of the house while still practicing Covid-safe measures during these times.

Elwood's Hatchet House & Tavern

I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Shannon about the detours of opening a business during 2020. While it has been a struggle, she is pushing through with local support and navigating these times in style and safety. Elwood's practices Covid-safety measures by sanitizing axe handles, tables, and seating between groups and enforcing masks when outside your specified seated area and throwing lane. Hand sanitizer is provided, and all employees will be wearing masks at all times. Elwood's Hatchet House is currently opened Friday- Sunday by reservations.

​My roommate and I ventured off to Elwood's to get out of the house for some fresh air. The axe-house offers plenty of space to social distance and large ceilings with a garage-hang like feel. Masks are mandatory until you are set up with your party in your throwing lane (similar to a bowling lane but with axes and lots of space). It was a great time to learn a new hobby and bond with my roomie. It took about an hour of warming up before I finally got an axe to stick, and I ended on that note. After chatting with Shannon for a bit about paddling on the river, I knew that I would be coming back to visit and support this local business.
