Almost 13 years ago the BATL Axe Throwing was formed in a downtown Toronto backyard. Fast forward to 2019, BATL Axe Throwing has 2 venues in Toronto with a 3rd location opening later this month. BATL Toronto East is situated in the Portlands area of Toronto at the foot of the Don Valley Parkway and is easily accessible from downtown Toronto and QEW/Gardiner Expressway, BATL Yorkdale is situated next to Yorkdale Mall and directly off the 401 highway.
Mark Meszoros of the News-Herald magazine recently took a trip to BATL Toronto and summed up the experience perfectly.
“I was pumped to revisit BATL — Backyard Axe Throwing League — and my skills at hurling the handled weapon into targets has come a long way since I set foot in the place the first time. At the risk of bragging, I served as a pseudo instructor to some of the other writers. It’s worth mentioning you now can order a drink at BATL, which was not the case in 2017.”
