Take Your Best Shot – Slingshot Bar to Launch in West Allis

West Allis, WI – [April 2, 2025] — Get ready to lock, load, and let loose—Slingshot Bar, located at 6325 West National Avenue, is coming to West Allis, and it’s the next hottest concept in eatertainment. A “first-of-its-kind” bar, this new concept is set to bring a thrilling mix of skill, bar culture, and a hint of danger to National Avenue.

“No company has ever been so bold, and maybe a little bit nuts, to combine slingshots and tequila shots, so we think we may be on to something,” said David Poytinger, Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at Bars & Recreation. But while the allure for adults is obvious, Slingshot Bar will also cater its daytime events to a family friendly crowd.

“During the day, we want this to be a fun place for family gatherings and adventurous birthday parties. Then at night, we’re going to create an electric bar atmosphere, complete with the plinking sound of slingshots hitting targets and the cheers of successful shooters in the background. It’s going to be awesome.”

Slingshot shooting is steadily gaining momentum, with local and national competitions becoming increasingly popular. Some of the best shooters in the country have been featured on major talent competition shows and have large social media followings. Bars & Rec is looking to be a first-mover in the space, with a concept it hopes will help bring attention to the increasingly popular National Avenue corridor and the work being done to revitalize West Allis and make it incredibly business friendly.

“West Allis is on the rise, and businesses like Bars & Recreation are fueling that momentum,” said Mayor Dan Devine. “Slingshot Bar is bringing something energizing and unique to National Avenue, and I can’t wait to see people taking their best shots.”

Once inside the facility, guests can expect a full bar, a dynamic open range, all equipment required for shooting, safety training from range marshals, and even a private event space to host team building and corporate groups, because no corporate outing is complete without challenging your boss to hit the tiniest target on the range.

For those of you wondering, yes, this is real. We’re really doing this, and we can’t wait to see you there. #slingshotsandshots
