Board
Jessalyn S.

Walked in on a Saturday night around 8pm and they were almost wide open, only two other couples using the other lanes. They checked us in quickly and gave us a mini tutorial since it was our first time throwing axes. The place is clean and with lots of seating. The bar is also pretty long, though the bar drink menu is a little short. Classic cocktails and some draft beers. We each got an ax so it was nice not having to share one. Some of the wood panels were a little worn so it was harder to get the ax to stick so we ended up swapping lanes but otherwise it was a lot of fun. They give you a sheet with different types of games and we loved the tic tac toe one. If definitely got tiring after an hour but I couldve enjoyed a second session. It's a great spot for a casual date! I would come back if I'm in the area.

Board is completely eaten away

I've been to quite a few axe throwing establishments, so needless to say I was incredibly excited to come throw here, considering I live out of state. Pros: Insanely spacious, lots of bays available. No reservation needed and staff were friendly. Cons: not only were the axes insanely dull (as you can see pictured,) the boards were so eaten away that even if the axe was sharp, it would be hard to get it to stick. Even the staff took a few tries to get it to stick to the board. They tried watering the boards and it didn't help at all. Id say out of 50 throws, maybe 10 actually stuck. (Picture of the board also attached). The bounce in their mats were insanely dangerous. I'd say 85% of the time the axe came right back to our feet onto the tile. There was no interaction from the staff at all once we started. No games to play, no points explanation, nothing to keep score with. The whole point of axe throwing, similar to darts, is to keep score. Most places have a white board of some sort. In the bay next to us, someone threw an axe at the board and the entire board fell. Overall, I'd never come back to this location. Its certainly not worth the money. You do more bending down to pick your axe up off the ground than anything else. I'd be willing to go out on a limb and say the owners most likely don't have a passion for axe throwing and simply opened up the establishment because it was trendy and would make them money. It's possible that I came on a bad day, but I don't even live in the area to go back a second time.

Went here for my daughter's birthday! Who knew I birthed little Lizzie Borden! She was on fire getting bullseye after bullseye. You make a reservation online which can get confusing when entering the amount of people in your group. It is 44.00 per person and you have to pay a reservation fee to set. Apparently I had only paid for 4 people not 5. Anyways we had an excellent time. It was warm inside but outside was 114. We did have a wall of windows behind us. The staff was good the boards might need a little attention there were several loose ones and giant chunks coming out. I don't think that is supposed to happen. All in all we had fun and that's what counts. Parking can get crazy especially in west gate. They charge you either in an app or by vendor.

Woot woot!

Such a fun place, and an excellent addition to Westgate! The drinks are awesome, the staff has great customer service and even gives you a crash course in Axe Throwing before you start on your lane. Wether you come for date night or as a group with friends, you won't be dissatisfied by your experience here.

We have been to LumberjAxes so many times, so I had to give a review. It's so fun!! Make sure you wear close-toed shoes, as well. They are located in westgate, it's upstairs- close to where Fat Tuesdays is and the Desert Diamond arena. When you get there, make sure you arrive early to give time to the practice, bc once the clock starts you're on the clock. The attendant will go over safety and allow you to practice. There's diff kinds of games you can play and you could be there all day really with all the diff options. They have a great bar with tons of options and offer food as well. Price wise, not the cheapest, but worth it to splurge on a fun date night or experience. I've celebrated one of my bdays here too. Go check them out! And...they have pretty cool tee shirts for sale too!

Throwing axes can be fun but eat somewhere else. The food and the drinks are not good, service is good.

My second being here and I always have a great time here! However, it is more on the pricey side. We got our section right away since reservations are highly recommended. We had a nice waitress take care of us when we asked for waters. We didn't order any food so I can't mention anything there. The place does have that woods/lumberjack feel to it for sure. My party of four had a blast considering they never been here before. Overall, very fun place to visit in Glendale. Something different, yet fun.

Friend with his first bullseye.

Brutally honest. Had a great time, but the prices are way too high and the axes need more maintenance. Never thought we would actually have to reflect on the waiver we signed because an axe handle had a metal bur on it. Throwing the axe it sliced one of my party members hands, when we brought it up to the counter, they tried to help with some band-aides, but were very nonchalant about the injury. Truly makes me reconsider going to this location again. Also, paying a deposit... on your email receipt will say 4 people, but it's actually the price for 2 people. The whole paying per person and not just for a booth based on hours is a total scam. Now that I've written this far, find a cheaper place, you'll have just as much fun and not feel like you've been taken advantage of.

The spot

The last star is missing do to the prices. The staff was beyond helpful and very patient while teaching everyone the process. Crazy to think that there is a bar ready to serve while throwing Axes. Lumberjacks are pretty badass, can't imagine how they did it with much larger axes. The drinks were nice and the space was clean and well maintained. Plenty of room to move around. Super fun and you actually get a little bit of a workout. Once you get the hang of it becomes even more fun. I recommend it if your looking for something different to do with friends or a date. Will try the food next time.

Now we're cooking with gas

If you want to have fun at a place doing something new, I definitely recommend axe throwing. It's one of those activities that you could probably spend hours doing and easily lost track of time. Our instructor was awesome and the food and drinks were on point....so try it out. If you don't have fun here, get a therapist. Even if you suck...don't take it too seriously and laugh at your own ridiculousness. I created enough ridiculousness for two parties.

We had such a great time coming here with the family. We did a two hour session and had Spencer as our instructor, he was great! It was our first time there and we look forward to coming back next time.

Such a fun experience!! Never thought I would be interested in throwing an axe before LOL. The staff here is knowledgeable and helpful in teaching you and guiding you if you have any questions. They play fun music and serve drinks for such a vibrant ambiance. I would definitely recommend and definitely return in the future.

We had our daughter's 40th celebration at Lumberjacks. Mostly close family and friends and they all loved it. They felt it was very intimate there. Not real chaotic. Those that did the axe throwing loved it. The food was good, except they were out of Caesar dressing for the Caesar salad and the Nachos were good, but cold when they came out. The customer service was GREAT! Every person that worked there , front desk, bartender, waitress all were so great! The were so flexible and we're great with our entire group! Thanks Lumberjack's! It was a fun night for all!

About to get that bullseye

I've been to The Mighty Axe twice. Ambiance (4/5): This is part of what I love about The Mighty Axe. It has a cabin feel to it. Despite being in Phoenix, you feel like you've been transported to the mountains. There's some seating at the bar as well as some comfortable seating close to a fireplace. The barstools at the bar don't have back support (which is always a con in my book). The music tends to be solid. All in all, a cool spot. And a casual one at that. Service (4/5): The service tends to be friendly, laidback, and efficient. Just like I like it. Food (N/A): I've been on a liquid diet both times, and to be honest, I'm not even sure if they have food. Drinks (3.5/5): Everyone likes different flavor profiles when it comes to cocktails. The Mighty Axe has a solid list, though one that is not super appealing to my taste. Outside of their cocktail list, they have a full bar. The Mighty Axe, if the name didn't give it away, is both a bar and an axe throwing place. While I haven't done any axe throwing, I've checked out the area where it's located (the back of the bar). And there's even one outside on the small patio. Overall, one of my favorite bars on High Street (I live in Desert Ridge so I've frequented pretty much everywhere in the area).

I planned a date activity at Social Axe Throwing for my husband's birthday. Neither of us had ever…read moretried axe throwing before, so we had no idea what to expect...but we ended up having a blast! It was such a fun and unique experience. We arrived on a Tuesday shortly after they opened around 4:15 PM, and we were the only ones there, which worked out perfectly. This may have been why the manager gave us extra attention, showed us how to throw properly, and guided us through three different games. That personal touch really made the experience even better. For two people, I felt that one hour was a good amount of time--though we definitely could've stayed two hours at least if we didn't have other plans. Pricing for one hour is $54, which feels a bit steep, but I was able to snag a deal for $27, which was much more reasonable for a one-hour activity. They also had about five arcade machines set up with free play, so you could easily spend more time there either before or after your axe-throwing session. I didn't realize until after we arrived that they offer food and drinks too...next time, I'd plan for lunch or dinner along with the activity. This place would be great for a team-building event or a group date night. Axe throwing is a bit harder than it looks, but definitely a lot of fun. We enjoyed the different game options, like tic tac toe that made it even more fun. One thing I didn't love: when you arrive, they ask for a credit card to keep on file in case you order food or drinks. Then when we finished and hadn't purchased anything extra, we were asked if we wanted to leave a tip. I found that a little awkward. While the manager was super friendly and helpful (possibly because it was empty--or maybe that's just how they treat all first-timers), I think there should be a better, more subtle way to encourage tipping without putting guests on the spot. I did not let this impact my review.

We went here for my wife's 25th birthday. The staff was super friendly. We had a group of 8 with 6…read morethrowing. They set us up with two lanes. Roy showed us how to throw. We were able to get three games in the hour time slot with minimal screwing around. They had a great beer selection as well and free classic arcade games. Definitely would recommend for something different!
