Bars & Recreation, parent company of activity bars AXE MKE, NorthSouth Club, Nine Below and Splash Studio, is celebrating Pride Month with axe throwing, painting and drink specials.

A portion of all proceeds will be donated to Courage MKE, benefiting LGBTQ+ youth.  

Here are the two options available:

  • At NorthSouth Club and AXE MKE, a $10 Pride Party Pack will be offered to axe throwers the weekend of June 17-20, which includes a choice of a Montucky Cold Snacks Pride Can or rainbow cocktail, bead necklaces, two colorful balloons installed on their target and a 50 percent donation to Courage MKE.
     
  • Splash Studio – Bars & Recreation’s virtual painting and drinking concept – will host an in-person "Paint with Pride" event at The Art Lot on Milwaukee’s East Side. Attendees will be guided by a live artist to create a Pride-inspired wood sign masterpiece. Paint with PRIDE tickets will include a paint kit, colorful beads, a candy necklace and a $5 donation to Courage MKE. Tickets are priced at $35 per person and can be purchased here. Paint with PRIDE can be also done from home with Splash Studio’s on-demand kit. Grab one here.
