We went to celebrate my husbands birthday with some friends and had a blast! The staff was really helpful not just with general instructions but also with tips on how to throw better. The pizza was also really good! read more

Recently went to Axe Thro with a couple of friends on a Thursday evening. Parking is paid for 2 hours, which is fine with your 75 minute reservation. Anyway, my friends and I arrived for our reservation. The person who greeted us was friendly. We had to fill out a waiver and then pay before entering. He gave us a quick talk about the concessions, most of which were not available that eventing. He also gave us a bit of direction as to how to throw the ax. He also told us about the house rules. We settled in for a moment. We had all come directly from work, so were a bit hungry and thirsty. We had planned to get dinner nearby after, but wanted a little something at the moment. Unfortunately, we were told they had no pizza that night, so a pretzel was the only option. Also, they had just a few beer options and three mediocre wine options. My friends each had a beer, and I chose a Sauvignon Blanc. The drinks were fine.... nothing special, but we were there for the axes. Surprisingly, the pretzel was pretty good.. Despite the fact that we had been given a 2-minute tutorial about throwing the axes, most of the games they had made no sense to us. We gained a bit of guidance from the group next to us. I also made an effort to ask our staff person some questions. However, I still feel like we had really not clue how the games worked. We were only given one ax for our group of three. It was just one style. I have been axe- throwing before, and they had lots of different possibilities. I remember that I had fun trying the different styles. In my past experience, they also gave us more education about the games we could play together so we didn't feel so lost. They were also more available for consult. I think Axe-Thro is a fine place to go if you want to throw some axes. It is not the best for bar food and dinks, or if you want a little information on the games you are playing. read more

Booked reservations online, employee called me and they tried to convince me to change to something different then what I booked online - got shady vibes especially since there was availability and website allowed me to book what I wanted. Lost $367 in event revenue not counting food or drink for 10 people. Be careful unethical business. They invoiced me for something I didn't agree and sent me the email ; I told them to cancel my reservation and I'll be going with another venue. Update: The options the venue offered involved paying for more time no one wanted; benefiting them more $ read more

Coordinated with Axe Thro Co. through e-mail to host a surprise party. E-mail was a bit of a game of tag at first, but once we did calls communication went much more smooth. Since we were a party of over 24 people, I was charged the hourly rental rate to book the whole place. I would say the pricing is fair! They informed me of food packages, and I just realized it's advertised as a pizza and pretzels package but we just had pizza. I was hoping to be able to bring in some snacks for guests with food allergies, but same as most places, they do not allow outside food at all. They did their best to help me accommodate a gluten-free guest by serving salad as well. I am disappointed that they also do not allow cakes/cupcakes, especially considering we rented the space out. I understand the rule, just something to note. The employees were all great. They communicated with me throughout the party to ask me about timing of certain events ("Would you like me to wait a few before asking for a group photo in case more guests arrive," "Should we keep pushing more pizzas out") We were also able to go over the rules as one big group, which was nice. Throughout our axe throwing time, there were coaches giving tips. They did a wonderful job knowing when to step back and when to interject. Overall enjoyed our time and would recommend Axe Thro Co. for any sized event, even date night. read more

Went on a double date here and it was soo much fun! Easy to book and no issues with parking. Staff gave an introduction to how it works and how to throw. I've done axe throwing many times, but have never had a digital game to go with it. It was great! Lots to choose from to keep things interesting. A few critiques: 1. I wish there were more axe options than a standard axe 2. We told staff we didn't want anything to eat and they kept coming up to us multiple times to tell us the kitchen was closing soon 3. Staff would try to correct our throwing. While normally I wouldn't mind them doing that, they actually caused half of us to get worse Would've been 5/5 if not for these. read more

Ougie made it so fun and kept checking in and really making sure we were doing it correctly. We did 1 hr of throwing and they had so many games it was so much fun. We were the last to leave but thourouly enjoyed ourselves it was nice being spontaneous and trying something new I extremely recommend this place! read more

Very fun activity for a group bday celebration. Staff was great. Food took a really long time to come out and the soda wasnt working so they only had alcohol and water. Overall good experience though read more

This spot makes for the perfect date night. Specials include a couple of hours of axe throwing and they offer other cool games. But let's talk about the food!!!! Don't sleep on their delicious pizza. 10/10 and it was a bonus that the staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. They help you along the way if you're a novice axe thrower like me. read more

finally went axe throwing for the first time, and I can definitely say my expectations were way more exceeded. For a Thursday night, it was pretty empty so we had the place to ourselves majority of the time which was cool. When we showed up, we were immediately greeted and set up with one of the coaches. he talked us through how everything works and how to throw the axe, show us the different games on the projector -- and we had a blast. I did see one of the guys making pizzas in the kitchen and it did look really delicious but we had already ate so next time I will definitely try their food. Overall though I would highly recommend going - I absolutely loved it and honestly, it was pretty stress relieving lol. I cannot wait to go back!! read more

Fun place but personally just a one thing event. Good pizza and great service. However it was our friend bday celebration and they didn't allowed cupcakes to celebrate. We did ordered food and it would be just nice to be able to celebrate our friend over there and not on the parking lot read more

This was my first time Axe Throwing , I booked an hour to celebrate my cousin's birthday and it was a fun time.

Alcohol, pizza, axe throwing, and trivia all in one spot. What's not to love? Had a blast here, they have a legit pizza oven constantly churning out Neapolitan style pizza. $10 for veggie pizzas during happy hour. Trivia at 630pm on Wednesdays and fridays. Would recommend! read more

We visited Axe Thro Co for a corporate team-building activity. The facilities were clean, our coaches and staff were friendly and helpful, and the games and throwing experiences were fantastic. Folks enjoyed the atmosphere, and for those who needed a break from the axes, there was also a pool table. They don't have their pizza oven running on Mondays, which was the day we visited, so I can't speak to the pizza. However, we all had a blast, and I'd highly recommend the venue! read more

If you're looking to release your inner Viking without actually having to raid a village, Axe Thro Co is the place to do it. It's like therapy, but with more flying weapons and fewer awkward silences. Throwing axes at targets is surprisingly cathartic kind of like yelling at your Wi-Fi router but with a much higher chance of hitting something. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is casual, and you'll leave feeling like you've just conquered your own personal battle... or at least taken out some imaginary bad guys. Highly recommend it if you want to feel powerful, but without the whole "blood and glory" part. read more

My daughter and her boyfriend were spending the Memorial Day weekend in San Diego, so I planned with her for our family to spend some time together on Sunday. We first had a delicious early dinner at Del's Hideout, which if you haven't dined at yet, I highly recommend you check it out. After dinner, my daughter had made reservations for all of us to get our Thor God of Thunder on by throwing axes at the Axe Thro Co. This was my first time experiencing this fun place and we all had a blast. Axe Thro is located in the Balboa Avenue area specifically the Convoy District aka Asian Restaurant Row. It is located within a strip mall where it's next to Taste of Hong Kong and you can find Firestone, Hive, Da Nang Corner, Coco Ichibanya, and Cross Street. Parking here can get filled up and the parking spaces are tight. As you enter the facility, you'll immediately notice lanes where there's a large wooden board at the end of the lane. There are pool tables, a wall with some selfie pic opportunities like a large pair of wings and some murals, and they have a small store where you can buy merchandise and axes. They also sell refreshments and snacks. There are high top tables where you can sit to watch axes being thrown down range. When you enter Axe Thro, you're immediately greeted by their friendly staff and a counter to check in. Their price sheet shows that they charge $35/person whether you reserve a single or double lane. My daughter booked two lanes for our party of 8 and according to the sheet, it says 7-8 people get 60 minutes. We were generously given 90 minutes. Prior to becoming Thor or Paul Bunyan, you have to sign a waiver. Before you actually throw your first axe at the target, one of the coaches will go over the rules, techniques, and the type of games you can play. Big ups to the two gentlemen who worked on Sunday during our reservation time of 6pm. Hunter and the other young man provided outstanding customer service and gave coaching tips that allowed us to throw the axes properly. All the targets are displayed via a light projector onto the large wooden board. Make sure to abide by their rules, so pay attention when the coach is going over them. It really was fun and exhilarating throwing sharp axes at targets, zombies, and Christmas ornaments. Our family got our competitive juices going where we competed against each other as families, old vs young whippersnappers, and men vs women. Scoring is controlled by your party through a use of a mouse and keyboard. $35 or $30/person if you're active or a veteran military servicemember was a reasonable price for quality family time. The Axe Thro Co is a fun and entertaining experience where you'll enjoy throwing axes whether you've done it before or you're doing it for the first time. This was my first time and although there were a couple times where I sucked at throwing an axe, the entire outing was a great time had by all of my family. read more

We came here because it was a friend's birthday, and their girlfriend decided to host a gathering at Axe Thro Co to celebrate! Axe throwing was always something I wanted to try at least once, so when the opportunity rose, I was excited to go! - PARKING - Large parking lot, although it does share the space with several other busy businesses. You're bound to find a parking space, but possibly not right in front of the building! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - Since it was a curated group visit, we had two instructors that helped our group of 13. We got a separate area that had 4 lanes, which was nice to keep our group together and away from the rest of the lanes open to the public. They gave great pointers to everyone, and depending on what you needed to work on, offered slight tweaks to help us zone in on the target! Really great engagement and friendly attitude throughout our time here. They also have merch, pool tables, and drinks for sale. - EXPERIENCE - Due to our large group, they had a few games ready for us to play in teams! First to 50, Humans vs Zombies, and Cricket (3 hits in each zone). Everyone seemed to be having a great time, and the competitive nature of team games always riles you up. They also helped us in storing a cake as a surprise, which they also appeared to time perfectly to bring out when our friend left to the bathroom. Its the little things that make an experience that much better. - OVERALL - A very memorable and fun experience! If you haven't tried Axe Throwing yet, Axe Thro Co is a wonderful place to try out! read more

We walked in with no reservation on a Saturday afternoon. Augee was very helpful and also explained everything to us ( a lot of us our first time throwing). They offer several options for games which is great. They also keep an eye on you and offer advice on your throw. They offered great beers and freshly baked pizzas. It was bright and welcoming inside. I definitely recommend trying this place out ! read more

My friend and I went ace throwing for the first time, booked it for an hour & thought: we don't even need an hour! You DEF need the whole hour if you're new as we both took a decent amount of time just learning how to throw. The employees were super nice individuals & were able to pinpoint mistakes we were making. I loved the variety of games as well. Inside had several throwing areas, separated by metal wires. They're big on safety so please follow all instructions! Did not try the food so cannot comment there, but it did smell good! read more

Just went here and the food Is amazing. Throwing axes and eating pizza was perfect. You have to go. Best margarita pizza. read more

This review is probably long overdue. I've been throwing axes for 5 years and after moving to San Diego a year and half ago I was happy to find Axe Thro Co. They hosted leagues in the International Axe Throwing Federation (IATF) formate so I'd be able to carry over my stats and be eligible for tournaments that many of my friends back home would be participating in. Jimmy the owner of Axe Thro Co welcome me to their newly starting out league family. What was even better is they were still hosting league (following all covid guidelines) during the pandemic so it help me meet people in the area when a lot of things were shut down. It was so different going from throwing in large leagues of 30+ to small leagues of 8-12 but it's also great to be apart of something that is really starting to grow. Brought back memories of my 1st ever League which I think was around 20 people so not as small but the pandemic played a role into that for sure. It a great place to throw axes in a group or for a date. The staff is friendly and patient. But the league community is where it's out. Everyone is so encouraging and friendly you won't let a better group of people. I went though a very rough pregnancy the everyone was so supportive. When I came back after 2 leagues off due to hospitalized bedrest and c section, my twins were in the NICU and everyone was so invested in making sure I was doing ok and checking in on how the babies were doing. The community at Axe Thro Co is the best. Seriously try a league it's worth the money, or at least come for an hour session. Oh and they also host tournament doesn't matter your skill level they are seriously fun so if you cannot commit to a league try a tournament. read more

This is a totally different experience from other axe throwing places I've been to. Ian and Jimmy really got involved to make sure that we had fun, stayed safe, and understood axe throwing. Ian was our coach for our 30 minute session and helped us make a bunch of adjustments. It's safe to say we improved significantly and had so much fun that we extended our time. Thanks again for the experience! For $30 a person for 45 minutes, I'll be back again! Appreciate the amazing coaching and support. :') Also they know how to take pictures which is a bonus. read more

I had such a blast here! I was afraid I would be so bad at axe throwing, but the staff was so great at explaining how to throw with the proper form. I was able to hit some bullseyes! The pizza is some of the best I've had in San Diego. The crust was the perfect texture, the sauce was fresh and bright, and it was so flavorful. Axe Thro Co is great for a group or date night. read more

Walked in on a Saturday night with minimal wait time. Friendly and chill staff. Cozy space with safely fenced chutes. Several pool tables too. They have a half and half special: $50 for two people to get half hour of axe throwing and half hour of pool. The time includes a coach/host to help you refine your throwing and organize some axe throwing games between you and your companion. Had a blast! Will return again. read more

Ever since axe throwing bars became popular a few years ago, I've always wanted to give it a shot but never got around to it. So when I heard a group of friends was going, of course I had to tag along! They have great instructors here who are super patient and give individualized advice for improving our throws based on each person's abilities. We came with a large group, and they had a number of games planned out for us after first training everyone in different types of throws. They also sell drinks and have pool tables although we didn't take advantage of either of these. Overall, a super fun experience and I recommend everyone to try axe throwing at least once! read more

I had such a fun night last week. I was organizing a work event, and Axe Thro was so easy to work with throughout the whole process. We ended up booking out the whole space on a Thursday evening from 6-9 for ~30 people. It was very reasonably priced, and they allow you to bring in your own catering food. We added on an alcohol caterer which make it a bit more expensive but they said in the coming months they'd be able to start serving alcohol. They made the whole thing really easy to plan and once we got there they were very welcoming and helpful. They let us all get settled, gave a great lesson, took a group photo and then let us get to it. You can pick different targets, and then you sort of add everyone's names bowling style and take turns throwing. We chose a zombie game and a Christmas tree game and everyone really enjoyed ourselves. Because we had the whole space some people who didn't want to play could just walk around and be social. We had booked it for 3 hours, we ended up spending about 2 1/2 there, and threw axes for about 2 of them. Overall I was so happy with the night and am already thinking about when I can come back and bring other friends with me. read more

Axe Thro Co was very communicative, organized, and professional from the time of booking to the end of the event. Jimmy was a wonderful host with super clear instruction for all of us newbies. We always felt safe and we all had a really fun time. And, Jimmy also took some great group photos and even photos of us with our unexpected, lucky bull's-eyes. Shout out to the pizza chef, too! Everything was delicious! Overall, this was a truly enjoyable experience and an awesome team bonding activity. Thank you, Axe Thro Co! read more

Axe thro co was a great time for our bachelorette trip this last weekend! A lot of us had never been axe throwing and Daniel was very patient with us and showed us (multiple times) how to do everything! I think everyone in our group got at least 1 bullseye, such a good time :) we came on a Friday afternoon and there wasn't anyone else there so it was like we rented out the place to ourselves. There was also music and some small snacks and beverages for purchase. Highly recommend coming with a date or a group of friends! read more

We went here for a small birthday gathering with adults and older teens and it was a great time. The workers are helpful and friendly, the decor and ambiance are nice, and the pizza is delicious. They have unique offerings for drinks like craft soda, hard seltzers, and beers. The pizza does take a minute because it's handmade to order, but they have a cool brick oven and yummy chili flake offerings to top it with when it gets to your table. Definitely try out the soppressata pizza and enjoy the axe throwing games they have offered digitally projected on your target wall. We had a blast as first timers - thanks guys!! read more
