Plans for an axe throwing bar, completing a four-floor takeover of Aberdeen‘s former British Home Stores shop and indoor market building, have been approved.
Boom Battle Bar was pitched as a stop gap in the history of 91-93 Union Street, after the demolition of the market building was signed off last year.
The plans – including axe lanes, mini golf, curling, shuffleboard, pool, table tennis and marble tables, and smart darts – will tie in with the wider leisure complex in the BHS building, expected to open soon.
Formerly a flagship store for the retailer, it closed in April 2016.
The C-listed building, in the Union Street conservation area, has since sat empty, gaining the attention of vandals, until plans for a trampoline park were passed last March.
Next door, Flip Out will include a 12,000 sq ft assault course, 10,000 sq ft inflatable system, laser tag and a five-a-side football pitch.
The nationwide firm gained permission to set up on levels one, three and four of the site previously – but this latest permission means level two is also now part of the scheme.
related to levels one, three and four of the site.
“Boom Battle Bar is a concept bar that has been developed in Flip Out proposals across the UK.
“Following the closure of British Home Stores in April 2016, the former BHS property had been vacant for a considerable period of time and had been the focus of vandalism and anti-social behaviour on several occasions.

Axe lanes. Why didn’t I think of that? Can’t wait to see the assault course...
Did these people not watch that video about the families fighting at the seafood restaurant?
I gotta say I was king with an ace pick as a kid...
Wait until MADAT hears about this!
Mothers Against Drunk Axe Throwing
Oooffa!
Look down, just above her left knee.
Yep.
Axe scar.
You should see where she was holding the banana when she got that scar.
Smashin’!
Especially after some Ned decides he’s Begbie...
I've seen videos. Never sounded like a good idea to me to serve alcohol to a bunch of people throwing axes.
when I was a wee lad I was sitting on the bottom step of the porch and the baby sitter in her summer skirt was at the top...
I inquired “who cut you there?”
she said it was an angel darling.
I said “its a good thing he didnt cut the other way he’d loped both yer legs off!”
I have watched axe throwing on TV a couple of times, and one of the major sponsors of the show was an insurance company that provides coverage for axe throwers.
:)
I started throwing hawks around 1980. I still have my very fist hawk heads. Your handle needs to be around 17-18 inches long. Start about 12 feet from your target. Hawk blade facing target and handle will be facing down when it sticks. Take two big steps back and throw with the hawk blade facing backwards and hawk will stick with handle pointing up.
its all math and balance
Wow journalists/writers are so intelligent now a days. The bar actually hurls axes huh. Didn’t say patrons or people but the bar itself hurls axes. That would be a miracle since the bar has no legs or arms to use to hurl the axe. Yep, great education system we have.
I don’t know if it is Stumpy’s hatchet or not but a hatchet throwing place was just put in my area here in WA State. They even let little kids (supervised) come in and throw the hatchets.
This is an awful form of fun if you ask me.
