The last axe is about to be thrown at TommyHawks Axe House.

TommyHawks, the first axe-throwing bar to open in Springfield, will close its doors on March 30, according to a company Facebook post. The 12,000-square-foot bar, located at 1631 W. College St., did not give a reason for the closure in the post.

TommyHawks opened in 2018, according to the post. It was the first axe-throwing bar in Springfield and the third to open in Missouri. Owners Tommy and Kacey Jennings began building the business in 2016 by making custom-forged tomahawks, according to the company website. In 2018, they opened their first brick-and-mortar store.

“We’ve seen thousands of locals and out of state patrons, held numerous large scale tournaments, hosted countless leagues, and we’ve created memories to last a lifetime,” the post reads. “We are so thankful for each individual that has supported this endeavor from day one and the many who continue to come through our doors each week.”

TommyHawks is located across College Street from the Route 66 Car Museum. The Jennings did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
