No hopping from restaurant to bar to entertainment venue. Just axes, craft beer, amazing food, and memories you'll actually want to talk about.

Why Kenosha Deserves Better Than "The Usual"

Let's be honest: traditional date nights mean juggling multiple stops. Dinner at one place, drinks at another, maybe an activity somewhere else if you're lucky. It's exhausting, expensive, and honestly? Pretty predictable.

But what if you could find fun, food, and drinks all under one roof? That's the Hold My Beer difference. We're the only venue in Kenosha and the surrounding areas offering premium entertainment, exceptional food, and craft beverages in one location. No planning multiple stops. No driving around. Just show up and enjoy everything you need for an incredible evening.

What Makes a Perfect Date Night in Kenosha?

A truly memorable date night checks a few key boxes:

  • Something unexpected that breaks the routine

  • Interactive fun that gets you laughing and talking

  • Great food and drinks without leaving the venue

  • A relaxed atmosphere where you can actually connect

  • Photo-worthy moments you'll want to remember

  • Everything in one place so you can focus on each other, not logistics

The challenge? Finding one place in Kenosha that delivers all of this. Until now.

Why Hold My Beer is Kenosha's Only All-in-One Date Night Destination

Located at 621 56th St in the heart of downtown Kenosha, Hold My Beer isn't just another bar—it's the only place in Kenosha where you get premium entertainment, exceptional food, and craft drinks all under one roof. Here's why couples keep coming back:

The Thrill of Axe Throwing

There's something undeniably exciting about learning a new skill together. Our 6 premium axe throwing lanes provide the perfect mix of challenge and fun. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned thrower, our professional staff ensures you feel confident and safe from your very first throw.

Plus, a little friendly competition? That's date night gold. Nothing breaks the ice quite like cheering each other on (or playfully trash-talking when you hit the bullseye). And the best part? You don't have to leave to grab food or drinks afterward—it's all right here.

50 Self-Pour Craft Beer Taps

After you've worked up a thirst throwing axes, explore our unique self-pour beer system featuring 50 taps of craft beer, ciders, wine, and seltzers. It's like a tasting tour of Wisconsin's best breweries—all in one spot. Pour as much or as little as you want, try new flavors, and find your new favorite brew together.

Not a beer person? No problem. We also offer 12 specialty cocktails that rotate quarterly, plus 30+ non-alcoholic options. Whatever you're craving, we've got it—no need to bar hop.

Food That Hits the Spot

Here's where most entertainment venues fall short: the food. Not at Hold My Beer. Our menu is designed to fuel your date night without forcing you to leave for dinner.

Share our famous 24oz Milwaukee Pretzel—a Kenosha favorite that's perfect for two. Our pizzas are made fresh daily with your choice of toppings, and we even offer gluten-free options so everyone can enjoy. Round it out with crispy mozzarella sticks, boneless wings, or our addictive Sidewinder Fries.

Everything is crafted to pair perfectly with your drinks and keep the energy high for another round of axes. This is real food, not just bar snacks—all without leaving the fun.

Games, Vibes & More

Beyond axe throwing, we've got shuffleboard, 30+ board games, and free playing cards at every table. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and designed for connection—not just another loud bar where you can't hear each other talk.

Want to skip the axes and just enjoy drinks and games? That's totally fine too. Everything you need for a great date night is here, and you get to choose your own adventure.

The "All-in-One" Advantage

Think about a typical date night in Kenosha:

  • Dinner reservation at 6:00 PM (hope you like the menu)

  • Drive to a bar for drinks at 8:00 PM (hope you find parking)

  • Try to find something fun to do after (good luck finding anything open)

  • Spend half the night in your car coordinating logistics

Now imagine this instead:

  • Show up at Hold My Beer at 6:00 PM

  • Throw axes, pour craft beer, eat amazing pizza

  • Play games, laugh, connect

  • Never leave until you're ready to go home

That's the power of having fun, food, and drinks all in one place. More time enjoying your date, less time planning and driving. It's why we've become Kenosha's go-to date night destination.
