Are you ready to catapult into a new bar concept? If so, this is happening in our near future.
Bars & Recreation, Wisconsin’s leader in experiential entertainment, is excited to unveil its newest concept: Slingshot Bar, opening at 6325 W. National Avenue in West Allis.
Designed with a one-of-a-kind “jungle junkyard” theme, Slingshot Bar invites guests to grab a slingshot and take aim at an array of both stationary and moving targets across a 60-foot indoor range.
When does Slingshot Bar open?
The venue will celebrate its official Ribbon Cutting on Oct. 9, 2025, followed by a Grand Opening Weekend, Oct. 10-12.
Throughout Grand Opening Weekend, all attendees will have the chance to qualify to win a Polaris Slingshot® – a three-wheeled thrill ride valued at $30,000 from Fuel Powersports. Slingshot Bar will also debut an exclusive collaboration brew with neighbors Ope! Brewing Co., with an Apricot Pale Ale cheekily named “Ope! You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out.”
Public reservations begin Wednesday, Oct. 15, and can be made here. Walk-ins are also welcome.
