Maniax Valentine's Date Nights

Overview

If you and your partner have a little (or a lot) of pent-up energy, and you're looking for a different outlet to help ease it, here's an option: Brisbane's axe-throwing joint Maniax is hosting Valentine's date-night sessions from Friday, February 11–Friday, February 18.

The Newstead joint is doing two-hour public sessions that'll cost you and your other half $100 in total to hurl hatchets — and will let you do something different to mark the occasion. Also, that price also includes a beer, wine or canned spirit each afterwards to celebrate.

For the uninitiated, Maniax gives you the chance to very safely throw a hunk of sharpened steel attached to a flimsy handle, and compete with your partner and/or friends to see who has the most Viking blood coursing through them. Chuck those axes, sink a bullseye, and then calm down after all the hatchet-lobbing excitement with a drink with your significant other.
