Detroit Axe was a fantastic experience and a perfect place to finally check axe throwing off my bucket list! There's so much to do here beyond the axe throwing: video games, board games, shuffleboard, and even dancing! I went on a Thursday, and they had live trivia, which added a fun, lively vibe to the night.
Even though we had reservations, we waited a short time before our 90-minute axe-throwing session started. Our assigned instructor gave a clear rundown of the rules and helped each of us with throwing tips during our practice rounds. I struggled at first, but our instructor was super patient and offered a few different techniques until I finally landed an axe on the board.
Detroit Axe also has a full bar and food menu. My group had dinner beforehand, so I didn't try the food, but I did grab a drink. I wasn't sure what to get, but the bartender recommended the Splendor, a rum-based drink that tasted like a grown-up version of a Sour Patch Kid. It started tart and ended sweet, so it was a great choice!
Overall, my first axe-throwing experience was awesome, thanks to Detroit Axe's fun atmosphere, helpful staff, and unique drink selection. I'm already looking forward to my next axe-throwing adventure. read more
