A Sharp Idea
Axe & Ale With Eats
Drive past Airport Commons, the former Globe shopping center on Old Lake Shore Road in Gilford, and you may be surprised to find the parking lot full of cars. That is due in large part to the presence of an urban axe-throwing establishment that is unlike any other in the state.
When Don Lincoln and Jerry Hendricks considered forming a partnership around the growing sport of axe-throwing, they were able to draw upon their backgrounds to bring something unique to the Lakes Region.
“We said, let’s do this, because no one really has anything like this,” Don said. “Most of these places don’t have food, don’t have alcohol — you’ve got to bring it or whatever — so let’s kick it up a notch.”
The result is the Axe & Ale Taphouse.
