Entry No. 15 — the Santa Barbara file — filed under: axe-throwing

State Street Axe Club

Billed as Santa Barbara's first and only axe-throwing club, it's a plain storefront on lower State Street with real hatchets, real plywood targets, and staff who will absolutely coach you through your first bullseye — no lumberjack costume required.

The move: Rent a private lane, split a round of head-to-head axe throwing, and let the loser buy the next round somewhere on State Street — reviewers specifically flag it as a date-night sleeper.
