Now Open: The Expanse Is Revolutionizing Entertainment in Central Minnesota

Think of it as an indoor playground for adults.

The Expanse at Billy D's Crooked Tavern features two ax-throwing lanes, a virtual reality escape room, two golf simulators, and much more. It's transformed Billy D's from a tavern with live music and comedy into a regional entertainment destination perfect for releasing stress, meeting friends, trying new experiences, and relaxing.

Have a little FOMO? Head over to The Expanse and be among the first to see the metamorphosis everyone is sure to be talking about. It's in the heart of downtown Annandale (34 Oak Ave N.), and as the name implies, it's huge.

Step inside, grab a drink (they have 22 rotating taps and a full-service bar), snag some food (might we suggest the Ultimate Fully Loaded Nachos or the Cowboy burger?), and within a few steps you could be swinging golf clubs like a pro! Or maybe you'll choose to visit another reality where you'll try to break free from an escape room or embrace the cutting-edge entertainment of ax-throwing.

Of course, Billy D's is maintaining its great live music and event lineup, with trivia at 6:30 p.m. every Wednesday. Mitch & Friends will be there Feb. 20 AND March 20, and Billy D's is hosting a sip-and-pour candle-making event on Feb. 22.
