    Axe throwing
    Amber B.

    Nice and clean place! Very cool atmosphere! The bartenders were friendly and the service was fast and top notch! Nice selection of drink options. I gave a 4 star instead of 5 because they didn't have any bloody Mary's! All and all a really great experience and can't wait to go back for shuffleboard!

    We had a great first-time visit to NorthSouth Club. They have an excellent location, near good restaurants. The ambiance/vibe is great, especially when they can have the large garage doors open. The place is very clean, the equipment isn't shabby, and they have a large bar and offer minimal snacks. They also had very friendly service, and the pricing for 1.5 hours of deck shuffleboard per person was very reasonable. We visited in the early afternoon and were newbies playing deck shuffleboard. We received a quick how-to and then we were left to have fun. We had a great time playing and would return to play again. They have six deck shuffleboard lanes, and they take reservations. They also have several axe-throwing stations. Side note, they are a cashless establishment. We had a great time and would return. Highly recommend NorthSouth Club!

    This place is really cool! We came here for my dad's 60th birthday and rented a shuffle board lane. They have both shuffle board and axe throwing, which is cool. They have a huge bar and drink selections and some cool flight options. It's a great spot to get a group together and have some fun. I loved the decor!

    This was a really nice place to go with family. I have 3 young adult children. We really enjoyed the 1.5 hours of shuffleboard and would like to do the axe throwing next time. The staff was great from checking us in to the bartender who was quick to take our order. We had Spotted Cow, but we didn't eat this time around. The ambiance was awesome, with shuffleboard in a nice relaxed atmosphere. Just to be on the safe side you should make reservations on their website before you go here.

    So much fun! I came here on a Saturday night with family that was visiting town for the weekend. We were able to just walk in and get an open lane to try axe throwing! There was an instructor that explained how to throw the axe, and watched us each take a few practice shots before letting us go for it on our own. We struggled at first to get the axe to stick, but we eventually swapped out for a sharper axe, which was a game changer. We definitely improved as time went on! I also loved the North meets South concept of this place - Axes for North and Shuffleboard for South. Their cocktail menu was broken out with the same themes, super fun! I'll be back to try Shuffleboard next time!

    OMG best place ever. Very spacious and 6 TVs. You can even play Mario Brothers. Only suggestion would be more food options.

    Axe throwing of the north woods meets southern shuffle-boarding of the Florida retirees, and it was fun! This was an interesting concept, and executed well by the interior cabin-esque, palm tree accented space. I came here with a group of six on a Saturday night, having a reservation for 730. We arrived a little early to fill out the waivers (yes, you have to fill one out for shuffleboard). At first, I was not sure how the experience would go. Our reservation start time was running late, and it was difficult to be served at the bar. But around 745 a staffer found us and explained shuffleboard. The reservation of 90 minutes began and that was definitely enough time! Shuffleboard was really fun and surprisingly challenging. You get you own drinks from the bar (I hope they add more tap beers) and there are supes cute sitting areas by each shuffleboard lane. I would urge caution with the biscuits and that they can be difficult to stop. I saw a few fly off the lane and hit spectators' feet. Maybe a small installed lip would help to stop them. Towards the back are the axe throwing lanes, which I did not use, but would return to try. This was new experience, and I plan to come back in the summer when the garage doors are up!

    That Margarita flight is amazing!

    We had a fantastic time! Janessa was very attentive and kind. All of the staff made us feel very welcome. I would definitely return and recommend this place in the future.

    NorthSouth club is a new bar that is just starting its soft opening (grand opening on August 3rd) and it is one of the most exciting places opening in Milwaukee! It is both an axe throwing space (north) as well as shuffleboard space (south) with a full bar. I got to go to a soft opening and was amazed at the space. First off, the space is huge! Very high ceilings, big open areas to gather, huge garage doors that open during nice weather... It's a really large open space that does not feel cramped in the slightest. Despite being so open it also feels extremely cozy. With hanging string lights and big couches you'll always find a comfy spot to lounge and either wait for your turn or just hang out. If you choose to do axe throwing or shuffleboard you have to check in first and sign a waiver. You may want to get there early to get it signed and order a drink or two while you wait. You will have someone explain the basics of axe throwing or shuffleboard rules depending on which you do. I did both, and it was a lot of fun! I'm not so good at either but it's definitely a good time. The owners of this bar also made Axe MKE so if you've been there and enjoyed the axe throwing you will like it at NorthSouth as it's the same. The bartenders were nice and attentive. As it's a soft opening they were all pretty new but they crushed it! Had so much fun with my friends and cannot wait to go back.

    First time coming here to "blow off some stream" after a tough day. Upon arrival the check in staff member was really welcoming and nice! We came earlier and she let us know we could walk around, grab a drink, or try other activities there while we waited for our lane to be ready. The bar wasn't too busy and some of the bartenders weren't that friendly which was a bummer. They didn't greet you right away or acknowledge you were standing there. I did finally get a good bartender who took care of me and remembered my name! That was a nice personal touch! Every time he saw me waiting he let me know he'd be right with me and remembered my order! Wish I remembered his name! Their drinks were reasonably priced! When we were placed at our lane Colin helped us throughout the whole process. He taught us how to throw the axe properly and gave us proper safety tips so we wouldn't get hurt. Very entertaining too! I upgraded for $10 to add confetti filled balloons to our lane. That was such a fun addition they offered! I loved the atmosphere here, it is so pretty!! The lightening and layout has a great feel to it. Will come back and bring some friends!

    They also have two-handed only ax throwing

    **BEWARE: Two-Handed AX Throw Only** Unfortunately, I brought a couple of Friends here to ax throw. No one handed throws allowed.

    Date of visit: April 1, 2023…read more Some friends wanted to do something different for us to celebrate our birthdays and they succeeded with flying colors! AXE MKE is a very fun place to spend a little time and I want to try and come back with my team at some point in the future. Our friends took care of the reservations so I can't speak to that piece but once we got our waivers signed, we were assigned a lane and a...lumberjill? that would walk us through the process and technique. Madison was incredibly friendly and really set the tone for our time at AXE MKE, shout out to her! While we had mixed results with the actual chucking of the hatchets at the wood, we all had a blast. Those that drink said that the beverages were tasty and the pretzel board that we had was both tasty and a good value. Will definitely be back!

    First of all I must start my review by saying this was not my idea to AXE throw on Sunday, however…read moreI had family in town and they wanted to try it. This isn't even anything that I would ever put on a bucket list. I am fairly coordinated, but being a female and not having a lot of upper body strength I would definitely not recommend trying this. It is about $25 for an hour on a lane. There is a waiver that needs to be read over and signed. One of the employees went through all of the rules, showing us the AXE how to stand, placement of your hands on the AXE. He explained how to remove the AXE once it sticks in the wood. I felt that the employee actually should have shown us an example of how to throw the AXE. He said for insurance reasons he was not allowed to do this and said that each of us could have a test turn at how to throw. He would critique our position, how we were holding it. What line to stand behind and how to step forward to throw it. Thank God that I had beverage to drink because after my test throw, and then attempting to throw again, without any success I was starting to get so frustrated. I actually was mad that I spent the money to do this and not to have had any success with hitting anything. Each person gets 5 turns to throw and then the next person gets their turn. After half an hour I was done and never cared if I ever stepped foot into another AXE throwing place again. I honestly don't know what the big attraction is with wanting to do this. Maybe it is a guy thing. I have no idea. I now can say I tried it, I suck, and I am done trying again. I noticed they had a decent menu with a variety of drinks and even some nice appetizers. I would rather play mini golf then try to throw an AXE, at a painted target, on splintered wood. There is signage indicating the point system and how to score, along with a bucket of small mini golf size pencils so that you can keep score. There is a ship bell, near the wall, this gets rung when you hit a bulls eye. One of your teammates will ring it signifying that you don't suck. The music in the background was upbeat and a great variety. The people in there were very nice and could tell that I was frustrated. They said don't worry you will eventually get it, it takes a lot of practice. I say No thank you I am not interested in every practicing how to throw an AXE again. Now if you are up for a challenge, and in the MKE area then maybe this is something that you would enjoy. I recommend wearing comfortable clothes. I was dressed up since we met up with family, from out of town, and were going to dinner. Maybe I would have hit the board if I were more comfortable. Whatever excuse I use I can say I tried and I failed miserably. It was an expensive thing to try.

    Vibe - weird. It's in a basement and smells like it…read more We had a work function here and the communication wasn't the best with our Bars and Rec reps as we found out as we arrived that they would have food out then we'd do a demo and start golfing. The spread was laughable for the price paid. The pizza was probably the best value. What sucks the most is that they take everything away after an hour and a half, even the "safe to leave out" things like pretzels. You can't leave food out that we paid for, especially if it's not a health concern? Maybe provide boxes so people could take things home? Wasteful and disappointing. The pizza and garlic bread got the best reviews. Cheese and veggie tray were what you'd expect. The staff behind the bar were friendly and quick to help, but I wasn't a fan of the demo provider. Spoke quietly and was upset that the group couldn't hear him though it was pretty full in the event space with another party who was already underway. The idea was unique enough but you'll need extra time to set up the courses. Overall, not impressed with this venue. Recommend any other Bars and Rec instead.

I hurried to finish my drink while they stared at me. In the chaos, I forgot about my tab, and they added a 20% tip automatically. If the service had been better, I wouldn't have minded, but it was the worst I've had in a long time.

    tl;dr - Drinking, axe throwin' and escape rooms. Gets your adrenaline pumping!…read more What a crazy night to wind up here! I was grabbing dinner in Waukesha on a Tuesday night and wanted to try and swing by Raised Grain for a quick beer. It was around 9 pm and sure enough, Raised Grain was closed. Further back in the same parking lot ... something about a lit "open" sign drew me in ... I took a few steps in the front door and lo and behold ... a gigantic taxidermy bear greeted me. "WHAT HAVE I WALKED INTO!?" I wondered. Answer: Lumber Axe. This place is the first in Waukesha County to feature axe throwing and has only been open for a few weeks now. I had no idea what to expect, but it's got a lot of cool "mountain man" decor and giant wooden targets as well a separate area for the escape rooms. Craft (bottled) beers and mixed drinks keep the night going - but read the sign in the photo area, as zero-tolerance policy when it comes to safety and there is a staff member monitoring and showing you what to do for the axe throwing. Think darts on steroids. You do have to sign off on an electronic disclaimer form which allows you to participate in the axe throwing and escape rooms. You can throw multiple times and we were able to learn the different methods of throwing (two-handed throwing, one-handed throwing) and also playing a "good natured" (depending on your company) competitive axe throwing game. Tweens and older can participate as long as there's adult supervision. Also, there are only five ranges, each with two lanes for two targets which means reservations might be a good idea as this place starts to get busier and more noticed! Great for groups, I told my boss about the place in passing and she's already debating on having a company summer event there. P.S. It sounds like the business is trying to get together or host an "axe throwing league" similar to darts, pool and bean bags! No food, but sounds like you can bring delivery or catering in. As you can tell, this place is very new and it was my first time there (and I haven't tried an escape room yet), so I will be sure to make a return visit and revise or update this review as needed!

    I was a regular customer at the Brewcade in the same building, and same owner, as this for most of…read morethe time it was open, and I looked forward to going there every weekend. Ellen, the lead axe coach, would come and talk to me and convinced me to try axe throwing, and it is a lot of fun, and Ellen is amazing. The owners and employees treated me very well until the end of September, when they decided to replace the arcade with "Krazy Golf" and banned me from their Facebook page for saying I'd have to find something else to do in response to the removal of the games. The bartenders (especially Kris) also scolded me for daring to say anything about it too and told me the owners would tell me to get the hell out. I have never been to a business that treated their customers this way. There have also been several now-former employees who have told me that the owners treated them like garbage. It also sounds like the owners moved from a nice location to this and don't understand Waukesha AT ALL. You're in a college town. All your competition is open until 2 AM. I don't care if you don't want to deal with the late night crowd. And no real signage for Lumber Axe or advertising? Nobody knows you're there! Utter incompetence on all sides here. Do yourselves a favor and avoid this, Krazy Golf, and any other businesses owned by these people. They don't care about their employees or customers at all.
