    Had never been axe throwing before, was invited here on a first date. Checking in was super easy using the QR code provided and my phone. I felt safe the entire time we were there, and it was a lot of fun! They sell beverages here (including a variety of craft beer) - I would give this place five stars if they had a few more non-alcoholic beer options, like the non-alcoholic IPA's from Athletic or Sam Adams. They had Budweiser Zero there and that made me happy enough. The gentleman explaining the rules and how to actually throw the axe was very good. He stayed with us for a while to get us started and then came by to check on us later on. It is a lot harder than it looks!! We had our lane for an hour and that was just the right amount of time, I started to get a little tired by then. It can occasionally be loud, and if you are sensitive to loud noises (about the same as standing outside of an indoor shooting range) this may not be the most relaxing experience for you. A good time, a safe and fun new experience, exactly as advertised!

    We had an absolute blast!! We will definitely be going back!! It was our first time and the staff was very helpful. They would watch us throw and give us feedback to improve on how we were throwing.

    Section of the "target" they gifted us for our anniversary- and custom signed and decorated!

    Had a great time. They made it happen. They asked a lot of questions in the beginning which lead to a awesome keepsake we mounted to our home bar! Highly recommended.

    My spouse and I for date night!!

    Great spot for a date night out. It's BYOB. Recommend eating dinner beforehand since they only offer snacks and soft drinks here. But a great time for a night out. We didn't know how what we were doing and Naisha was great explaining and helping us out! She demonstrated it to us and gave us tips! They also have more games other than axing. Reasonable pricing for axing $25/person for an hour). An hour was more than enough for us! Highly recommend it! Hope you enjoy it!

    wanted to leave because we couldn't throw by ourselves. actually left because they doubled down on…read morethe nazi flag. it was not communicated that we would be required to play with another group; we just wanted to hang out amongst ourselves. the other group did not match our vibe and despite the place being completely dead except for the other group, they wouldn't allow us to use a different lane or table. as for the nazi merch: for context, i'm a heathen, a runologist, and a scholar of germanic history. i'm not being sensitive about symbols; they have a sonnenrad and a winged odal on full display. we brought this to their attention thinking it was an honest mistake. not everyone realizes that these symbols were created by schutzstaffel leadership. they do look kinda runic after all. but they really doubled down and tried to argue with me, who used to be part of "that world". also they were using pruning axes instead of throwing axes. so if they're not explicitly racist, they're unintelligent and incompetent. a throwing axe and some wood is cheaper than booking this place

    I've been here twice now, once years ago and once just this month (July 2026). After going…read morerecently, I decided it was time to write a review! Ownership has switched hands, and I believe I had a group on both times I went, if you're looking to save a few bucks. My only complaint (at all) would be that it was a little bit warmer than I would've liked, especially once you're moving around and actually doing any sort of activity. Now that that's over, let's talk about the good parts! The axe throwing is super fun, and we all enjoyed it after learning about the rules and safety tips then learning how to hold the axe correctly and throw it, and we continued to get pointers and help as needed if we were struggling throughout our allotted time. All of the stuff we encountered were friendly and personable. One great thing that we learned is a newer offering is that the pool tables, darts, and cornhole is now free! As in, pop in and buy a beer or a hard seltzer for a drink after a rough workday and relax and unwind with free activities in a clean indoor space! We will definitely be returning to take advantage because while I LOVE axe throwing, it could get expensive to do every week. The pizza place in there is different than it was the first time we went. And, it was actually not open when we went at 1 PM on a Saturday, which was fine for us because we had already eaten and had dinner plans later so we were not there for food. Our understanding is that it's a one-man show so there may only be pizza/the restaurant open during busy hours, as opposed to every time Montana Nights is open. Something to keep in mind if you're thinking about eating while visiting.

    "Is there nothing I can say, nothing I can do To change your…read moremind? I'm so in love with you I'll be your saviour, steadfast and true I'll come to your emotional rescue" (Jagger and Richards) A professional organization I belong to was scheduled to hold an axe throwing party/charity fundraiser at Pine & Iron in Hartford last night. But two and a half days ago, they contacted us to cancel because they had closed their doors for good. We didn't want to cancel the event, so what were we to do? Well, Montana Nights came to our rescue and 20 of us had a blast. Our Guardian Angel was manager Carolyn, who worked in a slot for our group, arranged an instructor, pizza and sandwiches from Square Peg, and drink tickets from their bar (beer and axes, what could go wrong?). Anyway, we had a freaking blast at Montana Nights. Our instructor Kyle was great. He gave us a safety talk, demonstrated one hand and two hand throwing techniques, and broke us into two teams for some axe flinging fun. We threw at a conventional bulls eye target, an unconventional bulls eye target where the center moved around, and Tic Tac Toe and Connect Four variations. I threw ten axes in warm ups, and then 20 axes in two ten-frame 4-person team contests. I stuck one out of ten in the warm ups, just one in Game #1, but improved significantly by sticking 4 in the second game. I even had a center Bulls Eye!! By the way, the food from Square Peg was great - lots of different pizzas, grinders cut into fours, and a big salad. Thank you Carolyn and Kyle for saving our event. It was a charity collection event where our members donated new clothing, toys, and household supplies for Madonna House in Norwich, CT. I would love to see Yelp incorporate more of some sort of charity collections at our events. Sort of a "Pay It Forward" philosophy. Everyone can afford to bring a few cans of soup or tuna to donate to a group that needs them.

No, I wasn't tripping on Psilocybin mushrooms, but I was playing baseball on one of the sports simulators at the Clubhouse on Main. You see, when you play their baseball game you can choose your opposing team (I couldn't resist competing against Team Zombie), choose your stadium, and choose a few other variables. Last night, a professional organization I belong to hosted a game night charity fundraiser here, and we had a blast. We played simulated baseball, golf, and hockey, threw axes and darts, had some great food, and overall had a sensational time. Clubhouse catered our food with platters of wings, quesadillas, salads, nachos and sliders. The food was plentiful and quite good. The space is huge and also has pool tables, video games, karaoke, Pop-A-Shot basketball games, a full bar and quite a few big flat screen TVs on the wall. I chatted with a couple who watched the Super Bowl here and told me the place was mobbed. Definitely a cool place to hang out or host a party. Oh, and best of all, I ran into fellow Elite Yelper Jen H while I was here! PRO TIP The bar isn't cheap, a Margarita I bought for a friend cost $14. They do have a Happy Hour where things are mightily discounted.

    So....I visited Clubhouse on Main, in Glastonbury, for the first time because my organization…read morehosted a Valentine's event there ; it was a whole vibe! They have a full bar, game simulators where you can play multiple sports, axe throwing, and even that viral boxing machine where you punch the bag as hard as you can (yes, it's as fun as it looks ). It's the perfect mix of competitive and social. Now let's talk about the appetizers because they did NOT disappoint. The wings were flavorful (we had BBQ garlic parmesan, and buffalo), the quesadillas were really good, and the loaded nachos were absolutely amazing. And lastly, the pretzels definitely gave Aunty Anne's a run for her money. I'll definitely be back!
