A percentage of all drinks purchased at the bar will be donated to three non-profit groups: The People’s Harm Reduction Alliance, Manifold Motion, and American Clothing Experiment.Smash Putt runs until February 26th at Fairways SODO.

Hole #12, Cataputt. Golfball canons, as the name suggests. With the push of a button, you’ll have your competitor rethinking their next stroke. Who’s quicker?

Hole #3, K-Hole.

Hole #6, Loopty.

Hole #8, Infinity. It’s like an endless bowl of ice cream – so delicious but sickening as it goes on and on and on…
