That idea is now fully realized as the duo officially launched Avenue Axe at 1126 Port Neches Avenue in Port Neches.
The area’s newest entertainment option celebrated its grand opening and ribbon cutting Friday.
Co-owners Lyles and Reeves said they are especially excited to add to the business development along Port Neches Avenue.
They said axe throwing offers a fun and unique opportunity for team building in a climate controlled in-door facility. It’s also a great location for events and parties.
There is no age limit to participate, but an adult must accompany children.
