The axe throwing is amazing and really cheap with a fun axe throwing league and knife throwing league

Good vibes nice people. Very fun time definitely recommend if you are in town. 5 Star for sure

I love this place and have been there several times. They fill up on the weekend, so be sure to get a reservation in advance. During my last visit, I was with a group of four and we were given two lanes to throw axes in. Before starting, we b-lined for the bar, since it had to close early due to COVID. I got several bottles of single-serve Prosecco, which they kept cold for me so I could grab each one when I was ready. One of the staff members gave us a briefing before cutting us loose. You can choose between small and large axes, and I opted for the small ones. There are chalkboards on the walls so that you can keep score and play games. I would definitely recommend playing against each other, since it was more fun that way. This place sometimes runs Groupons, but they really want them to only be used by first time customers (which I found out the hard/awkward way a while back, though they still honored it reluctantly). If you're looking for something to do, throwing axes and drinking beer/wine at Axes and Allies is definitely a great option. read more

What an amazing group of folks. The Axe ladies were super sweet and helpful. This last visit there were no dogs visiting, but was still a bunch of fun. They took our group of 8 throwers and made it so we could mingle while still have inc plenty of time to throw. We even got some additional help for one of the newbies that was just too darn tall! Beer options at the bar were great, and all and all it was a great time. We will definitely be going back! read more

MY FAVORITE WILMIMGTON EXPERIENCE EVER! Soooo who doesn't like a good beer and throwing axes? Except this place is that x 10. We made a reservation for 4 to do a little couples date night and I've always wanted to try axe throwing! Axes and allies is a little building right in the downtown area. You walk in and you are immediately greeted by the bar area (which the the bar selection of beer is AMAZING). There's 4 throwing stations inside and a few outside as well! You sign a quick waiver .. which you can also do at home and they bring you right over to start chucking your selection of axes. Don't fear there's really light ones for those that are like me and afraid to cause some serious damage with my lack of throwing knowledge. WESLEY AND PAUL are probably my favorite human beings ever! From the very beginning they hosted our party for what seemed like all night. They went over how to throw, the different weights of the axes, and different tricks to try as we got better. On top of all that they kept the drinks flowing. We had THE BEST time we have had in a long time. By the end of the night they were demonstrating all sorts of awesome tricks. Such a great vibe and awesome people running the show. We will 100% be back for more. This is the only way I want to spend my money in the weekends from now on!! Thanks PAUL AND WESLEY. Y'all are the real MVPS read more

This place is great. First off the staff were incredible. Mia the owner greeted us and got us checked in. Diana was our bartender and she was super cool and really friendly. Our "axpert" gave us a quick tutorial and we were off and running....er throwing. I was really stoked on the idea before we went, but some of the people in our group were really skeptical and weren't even going to join in. But at the end of the night we all agreed that we'll absolutely go back. 3 of us decided that if they start a league night we are going to join. The price for throwing isn't cheap. $25/hr. But the drink prices are and that helps. My Miller Lites were only $2.50 each. And even if you aren't throwing axes, it's still a cool bar to hang out in. Thanks again for an amazing night guys! read more

Grab your friends and take a walk on the wild side! Such a fun place to break up the monotony of normal Saturday Evenings. Be sure to bring closed toe shoes but if you forget they have some loaners you can borrow. Paul Bunyon and Babe the Big Blue Ox stand proudly watching over the bar filled with sounds of laughter and smells of buttery popcorn. The AxPert will gladly teach you how to properly hurl an axe so you will be nailing the target and having a blast in no time. Great for large or small groups. Parking is available via parking lot or on the street. This is an awesome spot that I will for sure visit again! Highly recommended! read more

Even without the axe-throwing, this a great bar. Excellent beer selection and really coolly decorated. My niece was thrilled that the bar had mango Whiteclaw. The axe-throwing was really fun. No one in our party had done it before. Joey, the "axe-pert", was very helpful. read more

The staff here was awesome. Very helpful in teaching you how to throw and explained carefully if you weren't succeeding! There are 8 lanes, and when you reserve I think you get 2 for your group, but it wasn't crowded when we went so they didn't mind if we spread out to get in more throws. My reason for the star takeaway was because some of the axes were showing signs of wear with the handles and could have been dangerous or caused a splinter or something. The staff was able to tape them up, but I think having some spare new axes on the side would've been the better solution. The walls were also in need of some loving care. They get a lot of axes thrown at all day and I'm sure they wear very quickly, but it's just wood, so replace them more often! Great bar, and popcorn free of charge to snack on while you practice you axe throw! read more

Fun atmosphere, Great service with friendly and knowledgeable bartenders. Didn't try any food. Venue is a little tight but great for an office party read more

This place was fantastic and super fun. We were trying to find some place to hang out and pass the time prior to my buddies wedding and this team was super helpful in making his special day even more special. The beer selection was super legit, and the crew was engaged and actively coaching us. I would definitely recommend this spot for any bachelor/wedding parties. read more

We had a private party at Axes and Allies. Great venue. Staff are awesome. Lots of fun. Highly recommended

August 25, 2020 we made reservations at 7:30. We get there and the place is closed. I think there was a worker in the parking lot that peeled out as soon as we pulled in. And six other people showed up they had reservations as well. What gives? Y'all should give us free night read more

Fun place to hang with some friends. It is definitely not a place to catch up. When it's full, it's super loud, but obviously the nature of the place. I would definitely go back. Make sure you've got a reservation because it fills up quickly. read more

My girlfriend and I went here on a date... let me just say the environment and the atmosphere is extremely friendly. From the moment we walked in and walked out we felt like we were apart of the axes and allies family. The beer is ice cold and the axes are sharp. Bring your kids, your wives, and significant others... this place is electric. Great training for the apocalypse and a great way to spend a Saturday. 10/10 will come back! read more

Was a fun experience! They came around and gave tips to help out throwing. Really enjoyed!!

Shitchyeah Wilmington!!! This place rules! Beers and chuckin axes. it really doesn't get better than this. It's like darts but Way more satisfying. I fully recommend coming here with yer friends. read more

This is an amazing place for all ages. My grandmother flew here to spend time with me for vacation and we found this place. We hadn't really planned out our itinerary but found stuff to do. I saw the place online and never had gone axe throwing before. The staff there is amazing and help us through our first time. It's nice to be right next to the bar while throwing your axe around. It's a lot more fun then I thought it would be. Highly recommend you try this growing trend of axe throwing. read more

Such a fun place to throw axes and drink. The guys running it are so nice and helpful. Go check them out!

I am so disappointed. We came here 2 months ago and were blown away by the workers, owner and atmosphere. I told everyone they needed to come see first hand. Tonight a different story and it saddens me to write this post. I am all for local establishments!!! Tonight we had reservations at a restaurant and knew we would be running late- I called 6 different times starting at 7:24 PM, our reservations were for 8:45 PM. No one answered the 6 times and I left a voicemail. We showed up at 9:00 PM. No one was at the desk. At 9:02 PM owner came out of bathroom and said we were late, that our reservations had been given up because we were 15 minutes late. Obviously they had been given up before then because we were there right at 9:00 PM. Yes we were late, but how it was handle was very unprofessional and I was told "don't know what to tell you." Just hurts, only have ever said good things about the place and the owner was a doll the first time we visited. Never will we go back. And honestly will never recommend to a friend. read more

Four of us stopped by on Saturday to throw axes for the first time. Paul checked us in, reviewed the rules, coached us on how to effectively throw the axe using a one handed or two handed grip. Water and soda were priced reasonably and they provided popcorn for us to snack on. We highly recommend this venue! read more

My husband, myself, and another couple decided to see what Axes and Allies was all about and we were not disappointed. Besides my terrible aim, this place was great! The other couple was running behind and we didn't get started right on time but the staff was great in accommodating us anyhow. Great beer selection too. If you're looking for something to do for date night or if you've got friends in town give this place a shot. It's a lot of fun and because of that, I will definitely be back! read more

This place was awesome, my girlfriend surprised me with going here awesome people who work here very friendly! Wesley helped us super awesome guy would recommend giving this place a shot, 10/10. read more

Mia was phenomenal! As the owner she went above and beyond to help our AirBnB as well as locals. We come on the regular now.
