Another big thing is, it is a separate business from the brewery, so don't expect servers. You have to go order at the bar and take your beer back up with you, which is fine-ish, but there went 10-15 minutes of your $25 an hour per person. The staffer was fine. Maybe axe throwing just isn't for me, but I wouldn't go again. If you're ok with the things listed above, then I'm sure you'll have fun.

We ordered the large platter, chose the sliced basket, chopped brisket, pulled pork, tater tots, Mac n cheese, 3 cheese biscuit, ranch dressing, and BBQ sauce. It came with pickles, pickled onions, and 3 bread slices. It was a lot of food! It was also very good! The ax throwing was sooo much fun!!! The gentleman that showed us how it worked was very clear in his instructions, which I for one found very helpful. Throwing axes is fun, good exercise, and a unique way to spend time with people you like/love! The only thing I would suggest is that you dress in light cool clothes, because it's very warm in there. I'm so looking forward to getting a group of friends together to do this again!!! I love supporting small businesses and this is a good one to support.

Came here last month to attend a "team outing" for work, and I gotta say the experience of axe…read morethrowing here was way better than other places I have thrown at. But I'll go into more about that later. Here's why I would choose Blue Ox for entertainment versus the others: First of all, the bar/restaurant is located in the heart of old school downtown Hillsboro. It's mostly street parking, but there is a parking lot and garage nearby. I'll just say, I've always been lucky finding parking next to the place. Upon entering, you'll notice they've got a dining area well large enough to accompany and entertain big groups. Past that is an open area for cornhole and couches for lounging, and a lovely bar after that. It's surprisingly huge! I mean, I haven't even mentioned the throwing lanes yet lol. But yeah, just past the bar area, they've got about 8 or 10 throwing lanes. Here's why Blue Ox stands out to me... ~ We met up with manager (possibly owner), Lonnie, who first took our food order and he explained a bit about Fat Baby Barbecue that provides the food for the space they share. The Q was really tasty and worth a try if you're hungry for some smoky-meaty goodness. ~ After eating, over at the lanes area, Lonnie discussed the rules and showed my team the basics on how to throw. But here's the cool part... Each lane had a remote control to choose what games you want to play. It's not just a big red and white target you throw at, but the targets are projected onto the board and it keeps score for you. I'm sure it's not a new concept, but this I've never done a other axe throwing places. ~ But here's the best kicker of all! They let us try their fancy throwing knives and ninja stars. Again, another feature I've never done at others. We all had a blast using these. So overall, in short, if you need an entertaining date night. Or need a spacious venue that provides decent barbecue and bar food for your family or workmates, then this is your place. Come check it out!

In the meantime, we ordered food, which we were able to order and pay using our phones. The food was then delivered to us from the restaurant upstairs. Once it was our turn for Axe Throwing, the employee explained the rules and for four people we had two lanes. My kiddos of varying ages all had so much fun. Afterward, the employee offered to take pictures of us, which I appreciated. We had a great experience and found them on Groupon, so we will eventually be going again and I can't wait!

It's active and may get your blood pumping but not necessarily breaking a sweat. You can get a beer before hand but obviously can't drink inside the "throwing cages."

In fact, my sister did not want to do this and was pissed that she was overruled by the group and ended up loving it and beating us all in the games!

Long ax and short axes, special little knifes to throw as well. There are numerous TVs in the building. They have a really nice and clean restroom- that is stocked with enough paper towels and toilet paper as well as air fresheners and feminine products: tampons/ pads if those are important to you. They have gear for sale. There are a few backdrops for photos that are in my opinion cute and represent Oregon City! Customer service was amazing. Jr was operating the business that current day. He was pretty knowledgeable of the business, how to throw axes & he even supported helping throw them & showing us how. Overall this is a great place to either bring the kiddos ages 12 and up, great for teenagers, adults and date night or even a work event. They also play music.

If you haven't been Axe throwing before, well, it sounds exactly like what it is. You are given an axe and you throw it at a target made out of wood. They also have one set of sharp shovels that you can throw. I think this is a good place for team building. Get food at the carts then throw an axe. I will knock down a star tho, because of the openness of the place, randos will walk up and interrupt you. If they added some stanchions or something to like block public access, that would be nice.

We found Celtic Axe Throwers when looking for something new and unique to do. Here's how it went:…read more This location is inside of the large and overly busy "BG's Food Cartel" (giant food cart pod), and parking is huge challenge. There's one main public lot for the entire area, and there are not enough parking spaces. Street parking is distant and limited. The axe-throwing experience itself was OK. it was mostly fun, but nothing I found to be compelling enough to do again, especially considering the price (it's about a dollar a minute, before any tips). While our instructor was great (I'd have not been able to hit even the rough vicinity of the target without his expert instruction, and he took photos for us), the condition of the axes and the targets were very inconsistent. My companion's axe steadily degraded with parts falling off of it as the night went on, and it was only after her axe head was very loose and at risk of falling off of the handle that the instructor finally fetched a different one for her to use. This seems like it would be a good team-building exercise for a work group, or for competitive axe throwers to hone their skills, but as a casual item, to me, it was worth doing once, but probably not again.
