I had a great time at Live Axe! I was a bit nervous about handling the axe at first, but Cade, our…read morecoach, did a great job demonstrating and explaining everything and made me feel very comfortable. He also gave great feedback and tips throughout the experience. Once I got started it was much more intuitive than I expected. I was def better with 2 hands than 1 (pretty sure I didn't land a single axe with 1 hand), but it seems I found my calling with the underhand throw. Apparently that's usually the technique people take a longer time to get the hang of, but it came much more natural to me than the other 2. Officially dubbed The Underhand Queen . The food was a nice bonus too. The flatbread pizza was good and I enjoyed my cocktail. The lamb sandwich was also nice, with warm spices that really came through. Our server Karen was super sweet and helpful. Overall the axe throwing was genuinely a lot of fun. Truly a great date night...even as our competitive natures took over. I think there was a bachelorette party there at the same time and it looked like they had a blast. I could see it being an awesome birthday activity or group night out if you're looking for something fun and different. They also have a rage room, so you better believe we'll be back to smash something!

You'll essentially have the place to yourself and you can really enjoy the space without hustle bustle, 2) Your cage instructor is really the make-or-break. Both times we were super lucky to have a great instructor and it really made the games fun and the time fun. Drinks are decent and the food is ok, but not anything crazy. You'll be busy chatting and playing more than eating, but it's good for nibbles. Staff is great and the place is super clean and well organized.

The course was fine I guess. It didn't really offer anything special, but there wasn't anything wrong with it. On one of the holes, there was a squirrel, which I thought was pretty funny. Overall it was a fine course, no blue, green, or purple balls though.

Beware, this place is running a scam. I purchased a voucher online (that is still currently…read moreavailable through Groupon). When I went in to use it, with my party, the lazy clerk behind the counter looked up from his phone and said 'we do not accept this voucher'. He gave zero explanation and went back into his phone. Do not waste your money or time. It had been raining and there were puddles of water and exposed wires on the floor far from the street. There was a mop, but lazy was glued to his phone. I was worried someone might get electrocuted. DANGER DANGER DANGER The manager Jesse J did not respond to my phone call, text or emails. Taking money with no intent of providing goods or services is stealing. How do they think this is remotely okay?

It could've been better. Although the game was fun I was disappointed that it was indoors. When we…read morepurchased the tickets the photo on the event page was at a park. I was under the impression we were playing outside. The other teammates I met also thought the same thing. I would've NEVER purchased tickets had I known it was going to be in a gym. It was VERY hot inside the bubble as you can imagine! The bubble weighs 25lbs so it's very cardio intensive! This would be perfect outdoors when the weather is cool. Also, I highly recommend wearing knee pads! They tell you not to fall on your knees, instead try landing sideways but at times it was hard not to when people run into you unexpectedly. I might give this a try again but I will triple check to make sure it's at a park and not a gym. I felt the ad was misleading. They should be more specific. Also, would've been cool if they gave us more time for photos but they were preparing for the next team right after. The referee took one and said she would post it but I don't see anything yet. Overall, I got my workout and my team won! Yayy

I went to The Bumper Factory twice in two days during some of my limited time in NYC. That's a…read morepretty solid endorsement right there. Even better, they have the deluxe versions of many machines while some arcades only offer the stripped down versions. For example, at The Bumper Factory, their Godzilla machine features the building that crumbles to the ground as it gets destroyed. That's pretty cool, and certainly adds to the fun. If you are a good pinball player, you will certainly find the pricing model to be vexing. I do enjoy going to a place where all the games are set to "free play". But $15 for 30 minutes, even in Manhattan, feels steep. Largely that's because I am a good enough player that a few bucks can keep me busy for over an hour. That said this is a great place, and a great price, to teach younger kids the game. And that is exactly what I did with my nephew. What I discovered was that on Monday, despite the hours posted on Yelp, The Bumper Factory was still open. However, the games were not set to free play, and instead of taking the admission fee I was able to simply use quarters to play. Woo hoo! I had one of the best games of my life on Guardians of the Galaxy. One ball alone was kept in play for the better part of fifteen minutes. Had I been paying by the half hour, that victory would have been tinged with sorrow. One other small ding against the place is that the Stern machines which feature the Stern Insider Connect feature were not activated. This is always a bummer, and also why I wasn't able to find this really nifty arcade on the Stern Pinball site. Most of the machines are new and in great shape. The space is pretty small and cramped, but it is NYC. From the arcade's website it also looks like there is a $35 all day rate, which I think I would much rather pay than $15 for 30 minutes. I'd have to take some breaks for coffee and pizza, but there are nearby options for both. More than anything, it's great to see pinball making some kind of comeback and salute the good folks at The Bumper Factory for putting in some machines in a space where kids can discover this great game.

Despite it's size, it has a nice range of games for the pre-millennial Time Crisis/Street Fighter generation. 2 complaints - they should sell beer/wine, and they should do a better job securing the place. While arcades are never going to attract the coolest cats in the world, this place is kind of like an incel dungeon of sorts. The last time I was here, some weird guy in his 20's was videotaping my girlfriend and I playing air hockey and ran away when we realized he wasn't an employee. We subsequently spotting him masturbating behind a sign outside, presumably to the footage he shot of us. The staff seemed to just standby while this guy videotaped us on their premises for masturbation material. My girlfriend has refused to come back ever since. Before this, when I went to get a powercard for 2 seconds, a swarm of nerds was harassing my girlfriend asking her weird questions like if she comes there often or wants to play Time Crisis sometime. It's rare an otherwise awesome place can suck because the client base is weird AF, but congrats, you've done it.
