Came on a Thursday and had the place to ourselves which was fun. Our host was great also. The ONLY complaint is that many of the reviews show off food. They stopped the kitchen during covid, so don't plan on dinner here. We door dashed dominos though, so not a problem.

They are so slow on service it is awful. You spend more time waiting on staff than throwing axes.

I have to say I'm pretty disappointed in this establishment today. My son, a buddy, and myself reserved a lane for an hour and a half this afternoon. Reserving the lane was easy via their website. The biggest issue that we had was that all the axes that were offered for us to use, were extremely dull and all the blades were severely chipped. When asked if they could be sharpened, we were told the blade sharpener was broken. Made it significantly more difficult to enjoy the time spent throwing since sticking the board was much more difficult. Customer service was below par. The axe coach basically left us to our own the entire time and not once came over to ask us if we were doing OK or needed anything. Ivebeen in a league for the last two years, so we know how to throw, but some sort of interaction would have been appreciated. After my experience here today (12/7/24), I doubt that I, my friend, or my son will return anytime soon, if at all. Was definitely a BAD ..... AXE .... TIME ?

Went here for a bachelor party and what a great time it was. Bartenders were great. The atmosphere was great. We had so much fun that we got to call after we left to make sure that the tip was right since it was a bit high lol. If you want to have a good time, check this place out.

Had a great time. Staff was great...Enjoyed the atmosphere gave us easy to follow instructions.
I booked a private lane for my moms birthday and had a blast! Wayne was incredible and helped all of us so that we could have a successful axe throwing experience. Not only was he a great teacher, he was a fabulous bartender and was very attentive while also multi tasking to get his other tasks done. Great selection of drinks, clean environment and professional. Very impressed and will be back again!
Rating this place based on how much fun I had. Nothing else ! Drink as much as possible and throw some axes , that’s the key to hitting the target every time ! If you are good with your preferred/dominant hand, here is the challenge — try with your weaker hand ! It’s fun …
Best place around
A great place to have fun and drink with good friends
