Huge Food & Drink Selection

Give us your bored, your thirsty, your hungry masses

Pizza, smoked meats, craft cocktails, and a bourbon selection that speaks for itself. Whether you’re here for a full meal, a quick bite, or just a drink between rounds, we’ve got you covered.

Grab a menu, order something good, and stay awhile.

Private Event Spaces

You gotta fight…for your right…

We’ve spent years adding, tweaking, and fine-tuning our spaces to be the best they can be—turns out, we nailed it. Whether it’s a birthday, corporate event, or full-blown wedding reception, we’ve got the room, the vibe, and the drinks to match.

Trackman Driving Range

A (driving) range of possibilities

Take your best shot from a heated patio bay or a garage space with couches, TVs, and full food service. Whether you’re tracking every swing with pro-level stats or just trying to outdrive your friends, Trackman makes the range more than just practice.

Duckpin Bowling

Bigger isn’t always better

Born on the East Coast in the early 1900s and now sweeping the country, Duckpin takes everything you know about bowling and flips it on its head. The pins are shorter, the ball is smaller, and knocking them all down is way harder than it looks.
