Arsineh M.

Did 2 hour of axe throwing and boy were we a little tired the next day. The atmosphere is nice and cozy with cabin/mountain vibes, full bar to order drinks (we had beers). Staff were friendly, attentive and welcoming. If you forget to bring closed to shoes they provide bear paw sandals to wear (loved them). We had the projector screen to adjust your targets, we came to celebrate for a birthday and it was absolutely fun. Would do again, thank you!

Thank you Bri and Joey !!! Celebrated my birthday today and I enjoyed my first ever experience axe throwing. Joey and Bri were super attentive! Awesome experience.

Bri and Joey and Shane were great service and the food was amazing. Our birthday bro John had a great time we will definitely be back.

Company holiday party was the best! Had so much fun! Bri, Joey and Ray were the best!

JT was super cool and nice. Let us sample beer and made great recommendations. 10/10 on bar and beers Bri told us she was new and it definitely showed. Definitely not polished on her people skills. The Axe throwing was super fun. Music was very chill as well. 10/10 on decorations and ambiance.

Jordon C.

Axe-pect the best from this venue! Incredible staff and fun around all corners (pinball games were vast and entertaining). The axe throwing itself was exhilarating, but you can also change the game into a zombie target practice among other scenarios instead of just your regular target throwing. Cozy sit down areas, and clean bathrooms.

Our Axpert Grant was a great help, helped my son to improve his form and encouraged practice and repitition. Beyond that he was a great conversationalist and made good recommendations for game types and drinks. The beer flight I tried was solid, with the coffee stout and catorce Mexican lager as the main standouts. Place is clean and axes are well maintained. Prices are fair and training is adequate. Overall a fun experience. We did try this at 11 in the morning, so I imagine nighttime is a different experience. read more

Great local beer selection. The axe throwing lanes are a lot of fun and great for team building events. The inspectors are incredibly helpful and make even the least coordinated among us feel empowered and able to hit the target. Fun for groups and families as well.

This is the second time time I've been to mighty axe and it's such a great time. First time was for my birthday party with about 8 friends and everyone had a blast. Great beers on tap and food nearby you can bring in. Second time my wife and I went right when they opened on a weekday around 1:30pm and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. It was a nice atmosphere for my wife and I to have a mini date afternoon. Grant, our axepert was very helpful and not only showed us a bunch of different games to play, but let us test out the professional axes. Great experience here. Highly recommend. read more

We had a large group of 10 that we split into two lanes right next to each other. It was a lot of fun! I brought my 8 month old which I was very nervous about. But it was very safe with the chain fence and the staff was really nice about her being there. The games were super fun! The zombie game was especially fun! I dont know why people are leaving bad reviews about the whole president thing. Don't don't pick that game. It's no different then video games. They don't act political at all. It's just a option. I definitely will be going again!!! Highly recommend. read more

One situation I am very unhappy with, I had a photo from AARP showing $10.00 off $20.00. When I went to close my bill was only $16.00. So I ordered a shot for $10.00 and it was small. I digress. The employee called over a manager. The manager said we don't affiliate with AARP and declined it. As I said, I only ordered the shot to get my $10.00 off. I feel I should have been comped the shot considering I was told by the employee I could use it. So now my bill is $26.00 and a larger tip. Very disappointing and not the way you treat your customers.

Wow Andy you sure have a lot to say which is all false the owners and management work extremely hard in all aspects of our business sounds like your upset we cancelled trivia? All of your accusations are false and not accurate we sell hundreds of thousands of these dishes you've mentioned all made in house and fresh with rave reviews and what's funny most people will look at your outrageous post and list and laugh at how inaccurate it is. We obviously cannot help the ranting you have made and the quiz patrons feel free to not come back if you are going to falsely slander our business they way you have. Very disappointed in the amount of false statements you've made but that what Yelp is a platform for people to hide behind rather than calling an owner or manager to discuss true facts. Good luck in your future endeavors at better restaurants we obviously aren't the place for you. so kim... exactly what did I say that wasnt true? that one of my teamates won't come anymore because your ladies room is not up to cleanliness standards? that your food is wildly inconsistent? that your managers have told me that ownership doesn't give a crap about quality? Hate to break it to you but no one in the room of 60+ people was disappointed when our quizmaster told us that we wouldn't be having trivia at the crown and anchor anymore. There were even a few cheers! and we didn't miss a single trivia night because he had pre arranged to switch our wednesday night trivia to a different restaurant that although it is an even further drive for me and my team, the food is much better, completely consistent and ownership of the restaurant takes pride in the product they put out. We have been asking our quizmaster for years to find an alternative to the crown and anchor.... We go to wednesday night trivia because we love the quality of the quiz and we suffer through your food as a sort of "necessary evil" and you can accuse me of not approaching you personally when there was a problem with a meal but the fact of the matter is that I have approached your managers several times with issues (like when the iced tea had no flavor or the fries tasted like they were cooked in filthy oil or the chili breadbowl was stale) and those same managers (multiple) said that you weren't there and you didn't really care about the product the crown and anchor put out. you could have just apologized for my negative experience but instead you accused me of lying and slander. And just because you manage to stay in business doesn't mean that you are putting out good/consistent product.

The odd thing, after an hour we arrived, the clouds started to roll in. Within minutes, it went from sunshine to overcast and gloomy. Stayed like that for a good hour and half. Even looking out to the hillside, it was so gloomy that you couldn't see down the beach. When the clouds burned off, it was back to beautiful beach weather. Lifeguard towers were in full force. We did notice that security on four wheelers were patrolling. They did questioned some people. It's a beautiful stretch of beach if you haven't been. The water was beautiful and looked clean but the waves were on a different level. They were pretty massive so lifeguards were on full force. People did go in the water but not a lot. To make it more magical, there were schools of dolphins swimming close by the shore. Even more fun, you could see them basically surfing the waves. That brought everyone on their feet trying to get the perfect picture. There's a good amount of restrooms and showers. It was actually clean which is a major plus. There's also a little lagoon that's a hangout for all the seagulls and pelican. Sand was soft and hot. Beach was clean, water was clean so it's was a good experience. It's a must if you haven't been.

The parking is so close to the beach that taking your stuff to the beach is so convenient. No need to walk for long. There are lifeguards on duty and many public restrooms and showers. The fee for parking is $8 weekdays and $15 on weekends. You can also park on the PCH but not easy to find on the weekends. A great spot for families with small kids.

Mary is a great Aqua Fitness instructor and her classes are always packed with about 50 people per class. She is very knowledgeable, gives excellent queuing, and provides modifications for various levels, even for those of us who need more of a challenge. I have been able to get my heart rate up, get resistance, core & flexibility training here. I've noticed significant improvements in my overall fitness and physique. The pools & facilities are clean and in great condition. Water temperature is about 78 degrees and they have multiple pools to accommodate lap swimming, classes, and a kid's pool. The restrooms are pretty clean, contain 3 private shower stalls, multiple open showers, and a machine to wring out your bathing suit which is a plus. I hope to be back next summe

I hear of this place every summer but never had the chance til this week. What a great place for kids to enjoy water play. But actually for the entire family too! We went during free swim time from 12-4pm and it was only $10 for ages 3 and up. There's a big shallow kiddie pool with water activities and then 2 water slides on the back side of the park. There's a rec pool that maybe goes to 4.5 ft depth so it's perfect for just enjoying the water when you can't lap swim because the pool is crowded. A large picnic table area can be found in the middle of the center too so you can being lunch and snacks too. There a larger Olympic size pool on the west end of the center that can be used for lap swimming so overall it's great for all ages and swimming levels. We're planning to be here quite a bit for the summer! There's also cabanas to change into and showers to rinse off before and after swimming.

Today was my first visit to this business. They have a nice variety of pinball machines and they are well maintained. but I was turned off by the way management handled certain situations. We arrived with our own food, like we had on previous visits, but on this visit we were informed that outside food was not allowed. We tried explaining that we had always been allowed to bring in food, but there was no compromise offered nor alternate solutions. A moment after we tried explaining the food situation, a young kid in his teens walked up to the bartender / manager and asked him if everything was okay because he saw him looking around. I felt as if this kid was trying to play security and asking if we needed to be kicked out. We had to quickly finish our beers so that we could go outside to eat our food. At the same time, another group had a huge spread of Mexican food laid out across the entire right side of the bar. It was buffet style with sauces, guacamole, etc. in aluminum containers (I don't recall Mexican food being a menu item that they offer). I later on came back to order another beer and the food had still been laying out an hour and a half later, unopened. When I went to the bar and it was full so I was forced to wait at the side that had all of the food. As I approached the bar, I placed my jacket onto the bar and accidentally dipped the corner of my jacket into the green sauce. The bartender tossed me some napkins, didn't say a word and never replaced or threw out the contaminated jacket flavored sauce. I shrugged it off and went to the bathroom to clean up. Bathrooms were well maintained. I was then playing pinball when the power to all of the machines were cut off. This is incredibly rude and gives the customer the impression that this business operates on a 'we don't care about you' model and that they are only interested in obtaining your cash. On the way out we asked if cutting power is the new policy and the staff members smiled and said yes. Everywhere else I have gone, you are given at least one, 10 minute warning as a courtesy. To top things off. They also scheduled an upgrade to their 'Stranger things' pinball machine during the $8 free play time slot. The upgrade requires a technician to take apart the machine while squeezing in between 'Stranger things' and the machine next to it. This upgrade made it so that the machine being worked on and the machines directly near that machine were not usable unless you wanted to be in the technicians way. The staff members could learn a lot from the technician. The tech was welcoming and speaking to patrons while fixing the machine! The tech had great customer service skills! Due to the horrible timing of the upgrade impacting 3 machines and 'whirlwind' not being part of the $8 deal (staff can't figure out how to enable free play) My $8 buy in only saved me $1. I got to play 9 games total with a wet, spicy smelling jacket and the feeling that I wasn't welcome. I also want to make it clear that not all of the staff were behaving unprofessionally. Everyone was great other than the bartender/ manager and the young kid that was blindly following orders and playing the role of security/ bouncer. To summarize: 1. Mgmt/ bartenders staff needs customer service training. 2. Policies need to be implemented that allow for advanced notice of when the business is closing. Example 'wrap it up everyone, we are closing in 10 minutes'. Don't just shut off the power. 3. The website's FAQ needs to be updated to answer 'Can I bring my own food'. 4. The bar needs to be kept clean so that patrons don't have to maneuver around food items that have been laying out for hours. 5. Do not schedule pinball upgrades during the Tuesday 8pm-10pm window. This negates the entire reason for running a $8 'all you can play' event. 6. Train staff on how to set the 'whirlwind' pinball game to 'free play'. Good things: Bathroom was clean. The girl that works there and the pinball tech are friendly. Good selection of beer Pinball games are well maintained and there is a good selection. read more

Absolutely amazing night at the mighty axe! If you haven't been axe throwing, it is a must. My party of 5 came early, got some drinks (bartender Matt was awesome to talk to, and had amazing recommendations) and hung out until it was time to hit the lanes. Ash, our main axespert, gave us a super accessible and fun tutorial, and we were rolling- she checked on us throughout the night and made sure we were having a great time. The team really worked in tandem to get us our food and drinks, clear the tables, crack some jokes, and were generally an absolute pleasure (Thank you Jensen, Edith, and Jackson!). Throwing axes is fun in itself, the atmosphere was amazing, the team was a delight, and I couldn't have asked for anything more. read more

We heard talk around the town of this cool place! We finally decided to check it out and we are so happy we did! We went for a date night for a 1 hour axe throwing, and it was so much fun. The hour was a good amount of time, for it being (basically) our first time axe throwing. Though next time, we probably will do a 2 hr throwing and spend more of an evening there. Our host was Matt, and he was awesome!! Showed us the right way to throw, and was encouraging when we were practicing. He would walk by throughout the session and spark conversation and cheer us on, a very friendly guy! Great atmosphere, great beer, and even amazing food they pick up for you around the place! Will definitely be coming back for another date night! read more

Well Ryan (owner) you even said yourself that you won't let your own teenage daughters work at your establishment, The Mighty Axe!! THIS IS NOT ABOUT POLITICS, Red, Blue, mine or otherwise. Arguing that my concerns are planted in a "liberal" or "conservative" light is totally ridiculous!! THIS IS ABOUT YOU SEWING THE SEEDS OF POLITICAL VIOLENCE!? When names can be attributed to faces (especially those who have sworn an oath to serve and protect) and are projected onto targets, then BUYERS SHOULD BE AWARE!! KIDS & PARENTS BE AWARE! Next to you & yours could be a dude in a tin foil hat (Reynolds Wrap and all) throwing axes at images including one of our Presidents!!! YEAH REALLY!!!!! LITERALLY read more

Just want to start off by saying that I've never thrown an axe in my life before this, but I had the most amazing time here at The Mighty Axe because of Matthew helping me out! My first few tries started off by nearly nipping a chunk of my own ear off, but Matthew is the ultimate axe throwing expert and his tips helped me feel like I was becoming a pro! Call us Benjamin Edgington and Tobias Macera because I think this just might be my calling because of his pro teaching skills! If I ever end up in a mishap from axe throwing and I do chip a part of my body off, I'll save that piece for the gigachad Matty himself and send him that chunk of ear to save as a memory read more

Five stars doesn't do justice to the outstanding service and guidance Gavin and Autumn provided! From the moment we stepped into The Mighty Ax, they welcomed us with warmth and expertise that set the tone for an unforgettable experience. As three timid girls venturing into the world of axe throwing on a whim, their guidance and encouragement were incredible. Their skillful instruction not only ensured our safety but also ignited our confidence, turning what could have been an intimidating activity into an absolute blast! Thanks to Gavin and Autumn, our visit to The Mighty Ax surpassed all expectations, leaving us with a newfound love for axe throwing! read more

I was looking for a unique way to celebrate my sisters birthday and get some aggression out. This place was THE MOST fun we've had in a long time. We had no idea what to do, but we had a great axe master to get us started. We laughed all night. We enjoyed relaxing in the lounge after and having some treats and drinks and chatting with the bartender,Matt. He was so much fun to chat with and was so nice to answer our continual questions about ace throwing. It's great going somewhere where you know you are going to have fun, but it is even better with staff like Matt! Thanks guys for making this a great day for my sister! read more

We stopped by The Mighty Axe in Thousand Oaks without a reservation and were pleasantly surprised to be able to start playing right away! The whole experience was a blast. The setup is fun, the vibe is relaxed, and the beer selection is solid. A special shoutout to Amelia, who truly made our visit even better. She was super friendly, gave clear and helpful instructions on how to throw the axe properly, and made sure we were having a great time throughout. Her energy and guidance really stood out. Definitely recommend this place whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned axe thrower. We'll be back! read more

This was my first time axe throwing, and it was easy and exciting to try it at this place with a group of 5 people. First, we arrived and ordered some drinks from our awesome bartender Jensen. Then we check in and headed in, our Axepert was really helpful with the directions, and it was perfect since some of us didn't know how to even hold the axe, she cared and let us do some practice throws before staring one of the many fun games they had. Overall, it was an amazing experience, great for beginners who are trying to have fun or if you want to make a habit out of it. Thank you! read more

I was a bit nervous about trying axe throwing for the first time, but Aidan quickly put me at ease with his friendly demeanor and expert guidance. He took the time to teach me the proper technique, provided helpful tips for improving my aim, and cheered me on with each throw. Thanks to Aidan's encouragement and support, I was able to hit the target consistently and even score a few bullseyes! I had an absolute blast and would highly recommend requesting Aidan as your guide for an unforgettable axe throwing experience!" read more

I'm sad to leave this review. Fun activity, really nice staff; I've been twice and have recommended it to friends, but... Saturday night we noticed that there's an option to change your target so that you're throwing axes at a caricature of a bound President Biden. That's violent, anti-American, and disgusting. Our town has been through one mass shooting, this week someone was arrested for making threats against one of ur public officials, and making light of political violence is not ok. Won't be back. read more

Sensational A great axe throwing experience, I felt like a man! . Picture this. 1930 Montana , winter. I am chipping away at a big spruce to no apparent avail. There's a storm brewing in the southern front quickly approaching, my form is off, I'm getting nervous, then a man from the distance approaches, a beam of light in the stormy night. A man calls out saying his name is Joey. And I'm here to teach you the way of the Mighty Axe. Anyway great night loved Joey and his expertise. Would come back. read more

My friends and I had a fantastic time axe throwing, and a huge part of that was thanks to Aidan. He took the time to explain the proper throwing technique, patiently answered all of our questions, and provided helpful tips to improve our accuracy. Aidan's friendly demeanor and encouraging attitude made us feel comfortable and confident, even if it was our first time trying axe throwing. We'll definitely be back for another session, and we hope to have Aidan as our guide again! read more

I was walking around the mall with my sister over the weekend when we came across this place and decided to have some lunch and throw some axes. What a cool place to take a shopping break! The wings are really good, but some flavors were pretty spicy so if you're sensitive be careful. Jensen was awesome about helping find drinks for me since I have a gluten intolerance and made sure every one I was getting was safe to consume. Really glad to have something like this locally. read more

Not only is it a fun place to throw an axe, but it's got great ambiance as well. You can chill with your beer on the couch, in front of the fire, while you wait for a lane to open up. The targets are all WATL regulation, and leagues have been forming. There's also a great selection of beers from local micro breweries. Ryan, the owner, always has a smile on his face, ready with helpful hints, and if you ask nicely, he takes requests for music. read more

Had a good time with my inferior, lying sister while I was here. Had a couple of drinks near the fireplace and had an hour of throwing axes in the back. Jensen encouraged us to get the Enegren spring lager which probably helped my sister forget that she in fact lost all games except for the last one. Can't wait to come back with the rest of the family so I can establish her at the absolute bottom of the totem pole. Had a great time! read more

It was everything that I wanted, even if I didn't know beforehand. The bar had a very friendly barman. The food was the good stuff we usually don't get to savor. Only one of us had thrown an axe before. It is easily available to most any, but the skill level can progress infinitely. Grant very neatly gave us the basics and a few great tips. A really fun outing in Thousand Oaks. read more
