Came here for a meet up and really enjoyed myself. The staff explained all the safety measures and…read morethe different ways to throw axes which I thought was really great. They continually monitored as well as gave guidance to you in a helpful and encouraging manner. Like, "hey I noticed you were doing this, try this out, or maybe try doing this" which i thought was a good approach to interaction and instruction when seeing people throwing axes for the first time. There is also a water fountain, excellent, hydration is important. The bathroom was maintained which is also a plus, nobody likes going to a gross bathroom. Overall, if I'm in the area and have the spare cash I'd probably do this again. I'd probably try to be in a lane where there is nobody next to me though because waiting for somebody else to finish throwing just so I can retrieve my axe was tiring. Safety first though!

Ya know, axe throwing is a little like indoor skydiving. You know about it, hear about it, maybe…read moreeven read about it. But only because you assume, at some point in your life, you may end up doing at least one of these things by accident, if not intentionally. And typically, with a friend. So, when my wife's bestie suggested the idea of tossing axes at splintered wood to purge out pent up aggression, I thought to myself, "Self, this could be therapeutic and fun. Let's do this!" As you can imagine, throwing axes is nothing like throwing water balloons. Ergo, you must sign a waiver prior to partaking in said lumberjack competition. At any rate, we booked our lane ahead of time, which I *think* is mandatory anyway. Like, you can't exactly just walk in and take a lane. The site seems to encourage its visitors to book a reservation first. Just my assumption though. Anyways, after signing away our rights to sue the place in the event one of us pulls an Anakin Skywalker and lops off a limb, we proceed to the throw house's location. I'd like to take this moment to mention how tucked away this place is. Keep in mind, I'm the first and only person to review this place at the time of writing this. The fact that this place didn't exist on Yelp before I showed up blows my mind. But I have two theories on this.. 1.) The place is too new. 2.) Not enough people know about it for whatever reason. Therefore, nobody bothered to add them to Yelp till now. This is one of those "blink and you'll miss 'em" locations, too. So, ya ain't finding this one by happenstance whilst going for a casual drive. When we walk in, it takes a while to get a hostess. But we're eventually confirmed via our reservation and given a lane. Which was defective. So, we proceeded to the next lane over. This one was better. We got a thorough demonstration and crash course on axe throwing by our... "Axepert" (yes, that's what they call themselves). And honestly, I gotta say...axe throwing isn't as difficult as you might think. Only pro tip I could give is...watch a YouTube video ahead of time and you'll learn a bit about holding techniques. The main thing is not to grip it tight like a baseball bat. It should be a little loose, but not TOO loose of a grip. But don't quote me on this; I'm not an Axepert. OMG...I can't believe I just said that (－‸). Moving on.. The bar (if you can even call it that) is pretty basic. Beers, wines, and a few foo-foo drinks, I think. However, the food...was pretty pathetic. Bland chicken tenders with breading so thick, it tasted like those frozen tenders you get at the grocery store. The seasoned curly fries were...okay. Not quite as seasoned as I'd have imagined, but whatevs. I guess the ladies loved the stuffed poppers, so....winning? ¯\_( )_/¯ It's bar food, yeah. But like, it shouldn't suck? 3 out of 10, stick with the drinks and the axes. And now, we have to talk about the prices. Now, I've never been axe throwing before, so I have no basis for comparison yet. But even I know that something here is f**ky in the way the prices are presented. If you book a reservation ahead of time via the website, you still won't see the prices until you click "Book Now". Note that the prices shown are per person, not group. Also, it varies based on the size of your group. Thing is, you would never know any of this if you just walked in or called in without using the website. It's....dubious, to say the least. So, our entire bill ended up being over $150 for 4 people. And that was only for 1 hour. I dunno how much axe throwing goes for at other establishments, but....arrive with a full wallet. That's all I'm sayin'. As far as first impressions go, the activity itself was surprisingly invigorating. The place itself is decent enough. Though, I can't help feeling like there are most likely better ones out there. So, I'm holding out for one of those. For now, Axel's Throw House receives 3 axes hurling through the air dead on target out of 5.

We do this normal in Albuquerque but since visiting Manchester, we had an absolute blast!!! Drinks, food, and axes were an absolute blast!! This is a great spot to stop in.

I walked into a very big area, with lanes for throwing axes, pool tables, chess, and all other types of games. You sit at the bar or one of of the couches. My friends & I chose the couches. They were set up in a quad and it was very comfortable. We ordered some food. The menu was simple but very good. I ordered a southwest chicken wrap. My buddies ordered a Hamburger and my other friend ordered a pizza. The wrap was HUGE & delicious. Served with home cut shoestring fries. I will definitely be back.

When we arrived, we were greeted right away and directed to our station. There was no waiting around, which I loved. I thought it would be more of a "throw whenever you want" situation, but we actually had an instructor with us the whole time, which ended up being a good thing since I was a complete beginner. Our instructor, Eian (hope I'm spelling that right), was great, funny, super helpful, very engaging, and patient. He explained everything clearly and gave tips that actually made us feel confident throwing despite our many misses haha. We played a game toward the end of our session and somehow I won which was surprising considering I had no idea what I was doing, still don't! After axe throwing, we went to the bar. It wasn't busy at the time, but it did take a bit for the bartender to acknowledge us. Once we ordered, we walked around to check the place out while we waited for our food. It's definitely more than just axe throwing. There are pool tables, an area with board games, cornhole, darts. It was overall just a fun, social vibe. As it got busier, our food came out but we didn't get plates at first. Then plates came, but no utensils. We waited a while and asked the bartender if she had any, who told us to track down the server ourselves (that was [not] fun). Eventually we got everything we needed. The food is more of a shareable style, so we ordered a few items and honestly, everything was really good. Despite the small service hiccups at the bar, overall it was a fun experience and I'd definitely go back, especially for axe throwing and the atmosphere.

He allows some practicing before you get started. He'll help you out with each item you want to throw and give you pointers. I HIGHLY recommend getting the "throw everything" package. Axes are awesome and the other items really make it fun. They have a huge variety of things to throw besides axes, so give them all a try. And some are much lighter than axes; like the stars, playing cards and skinny axes. And some are bigger! The variety is a lot of fun. What makes this place cool is the games. You have the option to throw at a bullseye target if you like. But they also have a bunch of games you can play; bomb defuser, a game similar to wheel of fortune, a battleship like game a many others. They basically use a projector in each lane hooked up to an iPad for the games. The games are then projected on to the target. The owner mentioned that he will be upgrading the software so it scores automatically; pretty slick. They also have a "rage room" where you can smash various objects. A group was in there while we had our session and when they came out, they were all smiles. This is a great spot in downtown Keene. Again, the owner is very friendly, accommodating and helpful. The decor inside is really neat; a lot of rough sawn wood with some amazing historical pictures from Keene and the timber industry from back in the day.

Once we got the hang of throwing we started to play the game where you count points and try to get to 21 (worker suggested we play it). He also left us pen and paper to aid with scorekeeping. I noticed that they served beer and hard seltzer too. I didn't go for that experience but it's nice to know it was an option!
