Two people, one lane, one hour

Book a lane for two and it is yours for the hour: two targets, every axe provided, and an axe-pert who teaches the throw in the first five minutes and then leaves you to it, checking in with tips and the odd trick shot. The scoreboard keeps count, which is the whole point.

It works on a first date because there is something to do with your hands and something to talk about, and it works on an anniversary because someone finally settles who is better at this.

  • No experience needed on either side
  • Coaching and axes included in the $30
  • Book the 7 or 8 PM start and go to dinner first, or throw at 5 and eat after
  • Gift cards are available for the date you are planning for someone else

The coached first throw

Arrive ten minutes early in closed-toed shoes. Your axe-pert walks you to the lane, runs the house rules, and shows you both the grip, the step, and the release. Most people stick their first axe inside ten minutes.

Dinner within a block

Summit does not serve food, and downtown Mount Vernon is right outside the door: dinner, dessert, and coffee are all a short walk. Happy Street Brü Werks brews inside Summit, so a beer or a hard seltzer before or after the lane is on site for guests 21 and over.

Book before it fills

Live availability. One reservation seats the whole party together.

Make a night of it

The easy version: lane at 6, dinner downtown at 7:15, a walk around the square after. The ambitious version: dinner first, then the 8 PM lane as the last thing you do.

Good to know

How do we book a lane for two?

Book online for two throwers and pick a start time. One person books for both of you, and you get a private lane with two targets.

How much is date night for two?

$60 for an hour, $70 for ninety minutes, or $80 for two hours, with coaching and axes included. Tax is added at checkout.

Can we drink?

Guests 21 and over can enjoy beer or hard seltzer from Happy Street Brü Werks on site. Anyone too intoxicated to throw safely is asked to leave without a refund.

What should we wear?

Closed-toed shoes are required. Beyond that, whatever you would wear to dinner.

How long does it take?

Sessions are 60, 90, or 120 minutes. Arrive ten minutes early for the waiver and the safety talk.

Can we just walk in?

Sometimes, but Friday and Saturday nights fill. Booking online is the only way to guarantee a lane at the time you want.

Do you sell gift cards?

Yes. A Summit gift card covers a lane for two, or more, on a night of their choosing.
