CINCINNATI — Who's ready to kick some ax? Or, more accurately, throw?

Urban Axes, the newest recreational ax-throwing facility in the region will start with a "soft opening" this Friday evening in Over-the-Rhine. The location's inaugural local axe-throwing league will begin at 7 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday.

The competitive league pits individual ax throwers against one another. Weekly matches take about two-and-a-half hours and the league season is eight weeks long. The cost to participate in the league is $130. Urban Axes is located at 2010 Elm St. near Rhinegeist.

Urban Axes will serve alcohol, though its bar may not be open for a portion of its "soft opening." The bar will be fully operational when Urban Axes hosts its grand opening celebration on Jan. 25, according to the event's organizers.
