    Came on Valentine's Day and had so much fun! We were sat in our own booth with cubby's to put our personal belongings. It's BYOB so we brought beers. Because we planned on going out to dinner afterwards we didn't bring food but you can. They have menus from local eateries in case you wanted to order something there. We had the premium package that allowed us to not only throw axes but all kinds of stuff. Be careful they are sharp lol, I have the scar to prove it.

    This was a surprise b-day party for my kids (you blink and now they're on the cusp of driving... I'm afraid the next time I blink they'll be committing me to a nursery home!) and everyone had a blast. (And it's so much more fun when you finally figure out the proper way to throw so the axes actually sink into the wood instead of just bouncing off of the wooden targets.) Our guide/host/ax master - the absolute coolest. She was fun, engaging, informative and would once in a blue swing by to see how we were all doing. The place has that 'artisanal brewery' vibe to it. Kinda open, kinda chilly, a balance between odd/silly (Birds Aren't Real - awesome!) with more 'established' stuff (sports-related memorabilia). Being completely honest: these types of places are always tough to 'grade'... Was it wildly overpriced for what "it" is? Without a doubt. Did my family have a great time? Without a doubt. Would we do it again? Without a... (well, if someone else was going to pay for it the next time around!) Street (metered parking). Free firewood! (We'll definitely come back to partake of this, for sure.) Lots of other 'distractions' available (massive Jenga and Connect-4 sets scattered throughout). BYO (booze and food - which really helps offset the cost to rent a 'lane' here). One of the nicer/larger/cleaner bathrooms I'd ever seen for a place like this. Friendly staff.

    Had a fun time here as a night out activity with friends. I love that they are byob and byof. We booked a private lane for 2 hours and it came out to about $40 per person after taxes and fees and a Groupon discount. The staff here was helpful in teaching the first timers how to properly throw the axes. They also have a variety of games you can play as well as an iPad for you to keep score.

    This place has all the necessities for throwing an axe at the wall. - varies types of axes - cool "kill shot" challenges - safety fences and floors They also have cute picnic tables so you and your party can enjoy food and drinks after. The instructors were really helpful, and gave great tips towards success. They were also very enthusiastic and made what I thought would be a boring activity very fun!

    Came on a Tuesday evening with one other person, and were the only ones there which was awesome! Jay was helping us through the hour and was super helpful! Kept coaching literally the entire time and was great with guiding us. This is honestly the person activity too on a date or as a group. Definitely recommend this activity! When I booked, I was able to do it through Groupon as well and that process was easy, although the BtH website does charge a booking fee (which wasn't an issue).

    Honestly, I didn't expect to have as much fun as I did. Bury the Hatchet was all over Groupon so I caved in and bought a package. I had a group of 8 ppl so we were paired with a group of 4 ppl once we got there (you need 12 ppl if you want your own lane). Our instructor was nice and very helpful through the entire night - throwing hatchets isn't as easy as it looks. We ended up having a tournament between our group which made it a little more exciting. The best part is... its BYOB!!! No hard liquor of course and we had food delivered directly to us. The only issue, because of where we were stationed was the lack of table space. There was only one picnic bench for two lanes with a total of 22 ppl but we made it work. In the entry way there's a small waiting area with oversized jenga and connect four. They do have a parking lot but it's pretty small and street parking tough.

    I had the opportunity to check out this spot with a friend as part of a Yelp Elite event and it delivered! We did the escape room and Axe Throwing and it was so much fun! I had never done either and throughly enjoyed their well thought out spaces. I'm not sure if service is always the same but it was a little less enthusiastic than I expected but overall the staff was still informative and helpful. Both my friend and I agreed that it was an experience worth returning to.

    Me and the girls got together for a friend's birthday and wanted to give this a try. I never been so wanted to try it. Our reservations was for 7pm and it was a little over $30 for an hour. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and had to sign a waiver. They then they took us to our area and taught us how to throw. It was only 3 of us so it did get hot and tiring but it was fun. We kept score and I did win lol!

    This was so much fun. I will admit I was a little scared at first but the employees were there every step of the way and guided us through the process. They were extremely helpful and gave me pointers and tips and helped me to get it right. The space was fun and airy. I loved the small games they had throughout the place (checkers, tic tac toe, etc) I would definitely come back.

    Nicco was awesome !! Great experience and fun time, convenient with the BYOB and food, just a good time overall. Thank you!

    Fun place. Was here as a elite experience. Staff is super knowledgeable and friendly. The only reason for a star being taken off is that there is no parking so you may have to park a town away. Otherwise great place for a party.

    For our Holiday work party this year we decided to try Bury the Hatchet. I've wanted to try one of these places for years, but could never generate any interest with the family. We had a Groupon and got a two hour time slot starting at lunchtime. The guy running things showed everyone how to throw both two-handed and one-handed, suggested a couple games then kind of left us to do our thing. There were eight of us who played and it came fairly easy to me, but if the rest of our group had to protect us from a zombie apocalypse humanity would be doomed. They don't serve food or drinks here (you can buy chips or soda) but it IS BYOB and you can have food delivered-we got three pizzas from a place that was very close. There is also a Bottle King nearby, but I think the rest of my group would have worried about killing each other if we were drinking so we didn't partake. Overall, I think everyone had a great time. Some frustrations from some who couldn't get the hatchets to stick, but eventually they got the hang of it. I'd definitely love to do this again with friends and a few beers!

    Quen was a great axe master and host. The whole family was sticking to the board by the end of the sess.

    Ask the Community - Bury The Hatchet

    Is it BYOB?

    Yes we are BYOB! You can bring beer, wine, and the like (hard seltzer, hard cider etc) just no hard liquor. And you can bring your own food as well or order in to the facility!

    What was parking here like?

    Good amount of street parking within a block or so. Residential streets 2 blocks over.

    I've been to other axe throwing places that had refrigerators to store the beers and wine we bring in. Are there refrigerators?

    Yes, we were there yesterday and had a fridge to ourselves for our beers

    Does the place have a bar and food? its comes up in search as a bar, but the website shows nothing about a menu or food/drinks

    Only some single serving bags of chips and maybe some granola bars. Nothing big, but there is a bottle king only a walking distance away.

    If you're tired of bowling and arcade games, why not try axe/hatchet throwing? It's a fun,…read morestress-relieving group activity that allows you to bond with other people. Stumpy's Hatchet House is the first indoor axe throwing venue in the US. We visited the Fairfield location on Route 46 West. It's located inside a large office complex that has plenty of parking. The entrance is in a little corner. It may look small at first, but looks are deceiving - it's a lot more spacious inside. Upon entering, we were greeted by a friendly staff member in the lobby/check-in area. The ambiance and decor is ON POINT! It's a very rustic atmosphere with a lumberjack theme - you'll feel like you're in a cozy cabin. Take some time to look at their wall decor and merchandise. Reservations (deposit required) are highly recommended, especially for larger groups on the weekends. They do accept walk-ins, but only if there's available room. We came on a Sunday at 5pm without any reservations and it was surprisingly empty. You can book for 1-3 hours. Smaller groups (4 and under) are booked for 1 hour, while larger groups (5 and over) are booked for 2 or 3 hours. Pricing is based on how many hours you book for and is charged per person. They also have a 20% discount for military and first responders. We paid $60 for an hour ($30 each for 2 of us) and signed our waivers. Stumpy's has 10 hatchet pits, each with two targets and plenty of room for the participants. There are tables, chairs, and comfy sofas. It's BYOB (beer + wine only) and you can even bring your own food. They have a "bar" with light snacks and soft drinks available for purchase. An axe throwing instructor gave us a tutorial on safety, how to throw the axe, and how to use the interactive game system. Unfortunately I forgot his name, but he was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. He checked in on us and gave us some tips/suggestions to correct our form. You can simply hurl your axes at the target or you can choose from a variety of interactive hatchet throwing games on a touch screen system. In addition to axe throwing, they also have darts and giant games (like Jenga). It took awhile for me to get the hang of it.... but I finally activated the lumberjack in me and got around to hitting a couple of bullseyes!!! This was a fun experience overall. The atmosphere was lively, music was good, and the interactive games kept us entertained for an hour. I recommend trying axe throwing as a way to bond with people over some friendly competition or to release stress in a productive manner! Not to mention... it's also a great work out ;) Put that upper body and core to work... and hurl that axe like you mean it!

    Great experience on a Saturday night! Made a reservation and left a deposit months in advance…read more Arrived, signed the waiver and was given a basic lesson. We then got to axe throwing. It took a while for my friend and I to get the hang of it, but our husbands, who had been before, did well. After a good hour I finally became adept There was cornhole, jenga and shuffleboard. It was nice to break up the throwing. The couches were comfy too. They sell some snacks and drinks but the place is byo. They offer ice if needed. We saw some groups get pizza delivered. Would definitely return!
