A NEW bar featuring an axe-throwing lane is coming to Southampton.

Boom battle bar, the UK’s “first and only battle bar” will be opening at Westquay Shopping Centre next week.

It will feature various activities, including the unconventional axe-throwing lane.

As well as offering a variety of food and drinks, customers will also be able to enjoy virtual darts, American pool, beer pong, shuffleboard, a private karaoke bar, and a big screen for when the nights of football start.

Consistent with the 'battle bar' theme, visitors will also enjoy battleground-themed cocktails which include tropical rum zombie, a unique mango margarita, and an “Axepresso Martini”.
