    We had a decent time throwing axes but overall the service was awful. I know you have to give safety instructions before but he talked for 15 mins of our hour time and he swore excessively. There were children there he shouldn't be swearing it was very unprofessional. It's also pretty pricey at $25 per person for only an hour and like I said it's really only 45 mins. The boards also were in not that great condition, seems liked they need updating. You can buy drinks there, and make sure to wear closed toed shoes. Overall not the best experience.

    This place was a lot of fun. We came over here on a snowed in day with our 9 person team from work. We signed up online, filled out our waiver forms on line before hand, listened to a safety session then we were axe wielding champions. The staff was funny and friendly and you Doris also grab a snack out a beer during the hour long session of chucking axes. The layout is great, you could be as loud as you wanted and have fun along the way. We will divinely be coming back again!!

    Staff not helpful,on their phones the whole hour. No energy. Never threw an axe before it would have been nice to help!!! Walk around! Ask customers if help is needed! Watch for safety issuses (I took a double head 5 foot axe off the wall and spears to throw but was stopped by my pretty lady, workers never even looked up from their phones!), axes continued to break, very cheap, targets over used!!! BORING!!

    So many things to love and dislike about this place…read more Great things: They have some amazing bands that play here. The venue is very relaxed and has a fun vibe. It's right on the water with great views. The food is pretty great cause it's all food trucks. They have plenty of bathrooms and they are super clean, with actually hand washing stations. Plenty of drink stations so you don't have to wait in line for that. They do Thursday and Friday on thompsons point when they don't have a concert, with free music and food trucks. Cons: The food truck lines are forever, they try their best but it's just too many people and not enough food trucks. Only a certain amount of people can bring chairs? Not sure why, so you end up leaving that and not being able to find it. PARKING, is the absolute worst and so expensive. There has to be a better way to do this and they charge so much. I know it's hard to get out of most concerts so this is a common issue but Thompsons point is by far the worst and the most expensive. Even with the parking though I'll continue to go to concerts/ other events here!

    I would go to Thompsons Point so much more if it was easier and cheaper to park there! There is…read moresuch a bottleneck to enter for events it really deters us from going. Having the bus station at the entrance really adds to the difficulty in attending events there. We have tried ubering and that also is difficult. You pretty much have to be dropped off by the transportation center and walk down. I dont know what the solution is, bit building a huge hotel there is not going to help.

I'd been seeing a lot of their posts on social media; they do tons of collabs with other eateries, breweries, and wine spots, which is always fun. When I visited, they were offering pours from Suarez Family Brewery. Not sure if that's why the place was packed or if that's just the norm, but I was surprised by the crowd. Still, it was easy to grab a table, and there's plenty of bar seating. Big plus: ample parking outside as well. The ambiance was great -- dark, cozy, a little rustic, and thoughtfully designed. It was lively and fun, and at times loud (but the good type of loud). The drinks were solid, both their beer selection and house cocktails. I had the Negroni and really enjoyed it.

Honestly, I wish we had more bars like this. The one thing I wasn't a fan of was the food, but I think that's just because I went in with the wrong expectations. We ordered the brie and bread, and it was literally just a wrapped wheel of cheese, like we'd grabbed it from a grocery store. After reading other reviews, I realized they don't have a dedicated kitchen, but their menu didn't make that clear (or maybe I missed it?). I'd still go back for the drinks alone, just maybe after eating somewhere else.

Does not have an appealing Entrance at all . A glass entrance door an some paint would help for starters. The rear patio area is really nice. It was a shame it was drizzle just enough to force so many things not being able to use one of the best parts of why they picked this site. Even if it was extra, having a canopy or tent available would have avoided so much moving around of everything from start to finish. Felt bad for the couple an 90 people there. They had to do so much work to make the interior so beautiful, then move - move- an move again. Just saying. Think about it.........

    My son and daughter- in- law chose O'Maine Studios as the venue for their wedding weekend in June…read more2023. The space is incredible with the different areas as options for specific parts of the wedding or reception. Unfortunately, it also was dirty and greasy. Some examples: All the countertops were greasy and most of the available cookware and dishes were greasy, stained (that elbow grease removed) and/or had food remains on them. The vent in the room we had the rehearsal dinner in had thick black dust (maybe mold?) on it and the wall of windows were dirty inside and out. I had to ask an employee to pick food out of one of the trash cans, whose bottom was covered in black mold, before I could replace the trash bag. I emailed a more detailed list to Mr. Strunk and the venue and did get a response from Alexis that said "We will have a team meeting this week to discuss what we can do better with your review and revamp our in-house check list." I hope they do. Most of my concerns would not take a lot of time, money, or elbow grease to correct if they were completed on a regular basis. It seems as if there is no list of cleaning in preparation for an event. If there is, it isn't very comprehensive and/or the person responsible did not complete it. It wasn't until after the event that we saw the review of the venue that said a couple's meal was late because the caterers spent an hour cleaning the kitchen before beginning work. I want a venue with the same standards that that caterer had. This space is very cool, but the client should spend their time enjoying the event and not cleaning.

It said to dress to impress for a disco, when we arrived we were greeted by a host that was there to check you off the list and make sure you paid your $120. Which covered some cocktails, cookies, fruit and finger sandwiches. The hosts stayed by the door and didn't really check to see how the party was going. There were a few streamers and balloons. No party favors or noise makers for midnight. A very small disco ball over the empty dance floor. (We thought we were early) The lights were never dimmed throughout the night so you couldn't see the disco lights. The DJ refused to play any music the guest requested for the Disco effect and got upset when asked. People complained and left by 10:30pm. The DJ was terrible and kept his head down and continued playing through the stroke of midnight with the few remaining guest counting down on their own, when he finally realized it he played some lame new year's celebration music too late. It definitely was not what they advertised at all. Sorry to say someone dropped the ball that night and it wasn't the new years ball. Maybe miscommunication or lack of planning? Hopefully next year will be better for those who do go back. Happy New Year .
