Although, for safety reasons, the oldest bar in Sandpoint had to discontinue axe throwing, the Tervan still features an Americanized-version of hammerschlagen, and, for those from other parts of the country, the novelty of being able to smoke cigarettes indoors. It's like going back in time. Plus, they have karaoke on the weekends!
