Super cool experience! Went for a date night and had lots of fun! The staff teach you how to throw and provide the safety rules and then you're free to have fun. They serve canned and bottled drinks if you want to order that for while you play. Throwing an axe is harder than it looks, but it's an exciting activity to try! I hope this business does well. It's nice to have something different to do in the area. Hope Pine st can get built up more! read more

Found a Groupon for one person in a social lane for about $28 when original price is $36. I reserved an 8pm time slot on a Friday night and I was surprised to find it pretty empty when I got there. It's in downtown LB so you're surrounded by many bars and restaurants. There's street parking and different structures you can park in as well. It's also on the second floor of a plaza, pretty easy to find. The inside is designed weird bc the front desk isn't obvious and you have to turn a corner to find it? There was only 1 person working that shift when I arrived. Apparently other people reserved 8pm too but they all were late so my social lane ended up being just me for a while before others joined. Sebastian did a great job of explaining the rules and he was super nice always coming around to check on me and the group of friends I randomly bumped into. He was very attentive and kind and funny! This is a great activity either for date night or a friends night out! I would definitely come come back with friends and utilize the Groupon again! read more

We booked a private lesson with Sebastian for one and a half hours during the day and it was fantastic. Three ladies and we got to throw the axes over and over and over again and became quite good. Had a blast. Definitely go during the day when nobody's there and you get one on one attention. read more

We had so much fun and axe throwing for a few hours! It's in a great location by tons of food shops and downtown area.

What a Bad Axe experience! We walked in about an hour before closing and Sebastian took great care of us throughout our time here. His quirky sense of humor and sharing his tips/expertise were enhancements to the experience. Seeing your throws bounce off the wood or go completely far off target is humbling. Hearing the thunk when your axe nails the board is rewarding. A decent selection of alcohol is available as well. read more

Bad Axe Throwing Long Beach - Axe Throwing Near Me - Long Beach, California

I believe the man's name was Sebastian, tall, glasses. He was extremely rude and unpleasant. Came with a group of friends and we were the only ones there. We were drinking and having fun when he interrupts and says he have a time limit, which was never mentioned when we first arrived. I think he was annoyed by us and was ready for us to leave but we had been there for maybe 20 minutes. He was a huge jerk and and needless to say we won't be coming back. read more

"Bad Axe" is pretty accurate bc it was a bad experience. Check in initially was not a smooth process we were confused where to check in, and others let us know they were initially confused as well and pointed us into the right direction. Main reason for the review is the staff!! Sebastian like many others have pointed out was bothering our party, and was clearly intoxicated. I was using the expo marker to keep score and he asked me to close it to save money ???? An expo marker ? Next, he kept making odd jokes and comments about us throwing the axe. Someone from our group let the other employee know we were uncomfortable and he finally left us alone. Also they gave us a horrible board! I asked to move and the guy moved us 30 minutes in and admitted to giving us... and I quote " a fked up board". Lastly, the other guy working must of not cared for our group member telling him to ask Sebastian to leave us alone bc upon leaving we didn't even get the typical courtesy "have a great night" or "thanks for coming". Rude all around, and I'm assuming they don't care about the behavior of Sebastian since people have been complaining for over a year smh read more

It was a very fun experience. We had Rob coaching us. Very informative and laid back. Rob provided axes and throwing knives, along with a 2 handed axe. Knives were my favorite. Would definitely go back. read more

First time visiting and better than I expected. Karyn was awesome giving our group tips for throwing better. Karyn did give me a hard time after I accidentally hit the ceiling light with the axe.... apparently I was the first person she's ever seen do that before and that required me to be re instructed of how to throw an axe. My bad! Karyn showed us some bad ass tricks like the double axe throw... but my favorite was throwing the Giant Axe. We'll definitely be back and specially requesting for Karyn to be our coach again. I highly recommend Karyn! read more

So for my birthday I wanted to try something new and this has been on my list to checkout. This place was really fun to experience if you've never done any axe throwing before. I booked an appointment there with some friends and we had a good time. It was our first time throwing axes & knifes and we really enjoyed ourselves. The coach there made explaining how to throw really easy and even improved our throwing during the experience. We started getting competitive once we started hitting the board. Also too since they serve alcohol it made our time much more enjoyable. I definitely would recommend this place to check out and the service there was good. read more

We had an amazing time! My friend and I were walking ins. We went in at like 6pm...? On Saturday. We were helped within minutes despite it being super busy. Sebastian took a lot of time and care teaching us how to throw knives and axes. He rocked the poncho and he rocked our experience. He was an amazing host. I enjoyed my time here so much, I've decided to make knife throwing a new hobby of mine. Thank you! read more

I felt like such a bad axe! Yes, I said it. A bad Axe. I can assure you I am not--I enjoy sewing and crocheting. I just so happened to hit the bullseye a few times...luck!?! Axe throwing is something everyone can do and is located in downtown Long Beach not too far from Pike outlets. No reservations were made prior to visiting but the group I arrived with had no issues entering. Walk-ins welcomed. Let's kick axe! The place was clean and tidy. It also felt like a safe and fun space. Traditional axe, big axe, and knife throwing. They also have axe throwing leagues. The axes are high quality; It is like dart throwing, but next level. A throwing coach set up everything and left us with a few instructions--thanks Chad. I had so much fun throwing and watching the axe stick to the wooden wall. Everyone gets 45 minutes per session and time flew by. As they say, "unleash your inner warrior!" "Time is not refundable use it with intention!" Tips: Metered parking Walk-in times specified weekly read more

While cruising down Pine Street, we spotted Bad Axe Throwing and decided to check it out after grabbing a few beers across the street. On short notice, they were able to accommodate a birthday group of seven huge props for that alone! The staff was super helpful, making sure everyone got set up quickly and offering easy tips so we could all join in and have fun. It's an awesome spot to hang out, toss some axes, and enjoy a laid-back, walkable downtown vibe. Highly recommend stopping by have a beer and let an axe fly! read more

We had such a blast axe throwing! The whole experience was exciting and well-organized, but what really made it stand out was our coach, Sebastian. He was amazing--super patient, encouraging, and had the perfect mix of fun and skill (even though he says he doesn't practice much but hits every single shot with ease.) He made sure we were safe while still keeping the energy high and the laughs going. Highly recommend this place, and if you get Sebastian as your coach, you're in for a great time! Leroy Jenkins on the other hand, terrible guy. Wouldn't recommend visiting with him read more

Great date night spot. Price was great and Nico was very polite and serviceable. It was mine and my date's first time, I appreciate their detailed advice even with being a little understaffed. Great time! Bring your own grub and have fun! read more

Honestly I give this spot a 1 star only because that Sebastian dude (A WORKER) ruined it for me and 2 other strangers. He kept trying to "teach" us how to throw an axe while making sexual remarks. The couple in the other lane also kept asking us if Sebastian was bothering us too. Very unprofessional and honestly creepy. He also kept saying "I'm off the clock and I'm getting drunk at work". Like hello? He made my husband want to beat his behind. Definitely never coming back. Please check your workers. read more

Had an awesome time here during a pair axe throwing session. Rob was our instructor and he was super kind and helpful throughout, especially with explaining the technique of it, and tips around throwing the heavier axes.

This was a lot more fun than expected. Someone I knew made reservations for about 25 of us. Upon coming I only knew that we had to wear closed-toe shoes. They had us sign electronic waivers and show that we were over 18 to participate. Checking in was fairly quick. The super friendly and helpful staff went over the rules and gave us tip and tricks on how to throw our axes. We were able to bring in food and non-alcoholic drinks. They had a bar inside if you want to purchase alcohol. The guys working here were really nice and helped us each how to throw it to get bullseye. Our group got really competitive and there were lots of laughs. We all had an awesome time and I would definitely recommend it for parties and large gatherings. read more

This a good 4 stars! Located north of Ocean Blvd away from the Pike area is a sleepy mall / food court with an axe throwing venue that serves canned beer and some other alcohol. Myself, some family, and some friends went on Memorial Day. It's best to make reservations first to get a certain time slot to throw as they indicate they need to make sure about adequate staffing. We were helped by Quinn I think was her name. She was friendly, helpful and pretty good at throwing - if the zombies show up I'm trying to find her. The place kinda has the feel of a bowling alley in a low key fun way. For us it was fun and we will try again. Keep in my if you are serious about this - one of our party who has done this a few times said other places have the targets farther away - so some make think this experience is a bit junior. Beer was pricey at $6 a can, but you don't want a lot of drinking going on with axes being thrown. No good but you might be able to bring in food - ask first tho. Parking was available on Broadway just between 1st and the Promenade. It was 2 hours free so you shouldn't have too high a tab if you stick to axe throwing. read more

Bad Axe Throwing Long Beach - Decided to throw some knives after the axes, so awesome! - Axe Throwing Near Me - Long Beach, California

At first, you might think, why would I go here, it's gonna be bad, but then you think about the play on words, and you quickly forget, because you're having a thrilling time chucking axes at your boss, I mean, target. In all seriousness, this is a really fun idea in downtown. We didn't have an appointment, and at first it seemed there was going to be a 1.5 hour wait. When my other party showed, a no show freed us up, and we got shown to a target almost immediately. We had a great guide, and he showed us some tricks for landing the perfect mark. Fun date idea and will definitely come back! read more

The space is huge and great for parties, team buildings or walk ins! Oh yeah, Google makes us review on food. I don't think this place serves food but there's plenty of restaurants near by! read more

Ajene was absolutely phenomenal. She was kind and courteous and so fun. She made sure we had what we needed and that we had a great time. However, if it wasnt for her I would have given a 2 star. Sebastian was absolutely unprofessional, disrespectful and inconsiderate. He was actively talking back and disrespting his leadership. At one point he was yelling at Ajene to the point where it made us stop what we were doing in our lane to make sure she was okay. He was on his phone the entire time and walked into our group and attempted to remove axes and when we asked him to leave them, he said he was doing it because he thought we didn't know what we were doing and didn't want to have to clean up after us. He is definitely not the kind of person/employee you'd want representing your company/brand. Overall we had fun and it's a nice establishment and hopefully you get the chance to work with Ajene! read more

I came here with two friends and it was so much fun!! It was our first time trying it and we got so into it! Definitely would be so fun for a group so you can make teams and get a little competition going!!We went on a Wednesday night, so it wasn't too busy but we talked to Jorge and he said they are the busiest Friday and Saturday! Jorge was the best !! He was so nice and gave us games to play. We were able to buy some beers and they have some QR codes in case you want to order any food. I don't think they take cash so keep that in mind... Parking: there is street parking and parking lots. I parked in the structure on 4th and pine. 2hr free and 2$ every 30 minutes after that. Location: second floor ! It's above chipotle. It is very spacious!! Reservation? They do walk ins at specific hours for parties less than 6 and you can reserve a time if you have a party of 6+ MUST TRY !!! You will have lots of fun haha read more

Been on a tear recently going to Throw Joints and I happened to be at work at the Long Beach Convention Center. Walked right in when they opened at 7pm after I had dinner downstairs at Donburi. It was a quiet Thursday and Quinn got me set up. Quinn is a great coach. I've been throwing a bit for the past few months but Quinn got my knife throwing dialed in. No teacupping, and minimal over/under rotating and that was because I was shown different grip until I would the one most suited for me. I was also shown afew axe trick shots and that was awesome, though that may only for those who havehad experience throwing before. I definitely would recommend Bad Axe for those who are interested. read more

Bad Axe Throwing Long Beach - Knife throwing - Axe Throwing Near Me - Long Beach, California

Incredibly unprofessional. When we arrived at 7:20 pm Sebastian glared at us and rolled his eyes. Without greeting us he just started talking about the inconvenience of our arrival because he was "off in 10 minutes" and his coworker hadn't arrived yet. He then said my friend's name was like "Mexican Superman". When Quin was showing us how to throw the axe and knifes, Sebastian on the side started to pretend to stab himself in the neck, stomach, and arms and making faces. He wasn't even following along with what Quin was saying but just instead playing on the side. He was very distracting and Quin was obviously not happy with his performance. Quin never shared tips or helped us after her initial instruction. I wish we had a better experience but we felt uncomfortable with the staff. Top it off after I did the survey for a sticker... Quin said they didn't have any :/ read more

Terrible experience with Sebastian. From the start, it took forever for him to get us set up. He showed up right at our reservation time, complaining that we were the only reason he even had to come in, that no one woke him up from his nap, and that's why he was running late. Throughout the night, he kept inserting himself into our group uninvited. If that wasn't bad enough, we had to endure multiple ten-minute demonstrations of his throwing skills, which felt like a complete waste of time. The checkout process was the final straw. He couldn't calculate our totals correctly, adding an extra 30 minutes to the ordeal, and bizarrely insisted that we had all agreed to pay together--something we never mentioned. As we tried to help him through it, he only became more hostile--raising his voice, talking over us, arguing, and even banging his fists on the counter. He also complained he actually did not get any money from this because "corporate". After we apologized for how confusing it all was, he then made a snide and unnecessary comment about how he was sure we weren't sorry. All of this was completely unprovoked. The entire experience was unprofessional, disorganized, and frustrating from start to finish. We will not be returning to this business. read more
