Came in on a Friday night with a group - we made reservations before hand. Having never been, I was…read moreimpressed! The sign in process is easier if you do it beforehand, fyi. The space isn't huge but spacious enough. The throwing areas have a counter area to hang out and watch at, but not a lot of seating after that. Mostly standing room. They do serve alcohol - not a huge selection, mostly canned beer and seltzer (free koozies!). They do have other log or wood games to play outside of throwing axes. The actual throwing was more fun and easier than I anticipated. They are super thorough in their directions, so we had no questions once we started. The games go by pretty fast! It's fun to watch and fun to throw, again, more so than I had anticipated. The axes aren't as heavy as I had thought. Overall - fun time, I'd come back and I'd recommend as a fun date night or group activity. I believe kids have to be 13+

Everyone here is so chill, you don't feel pressed for time at all given how your reservation is a timed one. We had plenty of time to do all the axe throwing we wanted to do to our hearts content, along with other lumberjack activities that we paid for in the additional add on ($10 per person). I personally love axe throwing and it's just always a fun time. FlannelJax's doesn't serve alcohol, only pop and snacks as well. There are many different lanes for axe throwing, so it can hold a ton of people and parties! One wall is all axe throwing boards/cages, then there's high top counters, tables, and chairs filling the other half of the space, along with a few logs and tree stumps against the other wall for the other lumberjack activities. It's a great space, windows on two of the sides, so it's bright and airy. Feels so new and clean, all the employees wear buffalo plaid flannels, and it's an easy walk from downtown Grand Rapids -- even through the snow, which is the weather conditions we had the day we walked over here! Took about 15-20 minutes to walk from downtown and enjoyed every minute! Highly recommend FlannelJax's for all your parties, quality hangs with friends, corporate team building exercises, and the like!

There's something about throwing a hatchet at a target that's kinda satisfying. I talked with my therapist before I wrote this review and she assured me it was normal. lol The greeting at the front desk was warm and he had us sign waivers promising to follow the rules and not do anything reckless. That was the only disappointing part of my experience. :( We then got guided back to the action area and had a great explanation of how to throw the hatchets and how to adjust our throwing techniques if went had issues sticking the hatchets into the board. We all got 10 throws to practice before our hour session started. The price was $15 a person for walk ins. $15 for and hour makes me think I've got a new hobby. The showed us how to score our games on the 10 throw score sheet. We decided to go with the throw 2 hatchets and pic your best throw for score. The board is setup with 1, 2, 4 and 6 for a bullseye. They have 8 lanes setup and the staff is A+. Give them a try and you'll be hooked as well.

We would meet there every Wednesday evening and race for a few hours. No other customers were ever there on weeknights, so it seemed like a good way for High Caliber to get more use out of their karts during slow days. After doing this for several months, they jacked up the price by 150%, and we all cancelled our memberships. I guess it wasn't enough for the greedy owner. I hope it was worth permanently losing seven customers, because we're never coming back!

Our break room therapy session was easy to schedule and such a unique experience…read more there are different packages to choose from when scheduling. we chose the mixed glass package - there were bottles, glasses, plates, candle jars, etc. there are packages that include electronics and you can also add on various items to your package. another cool thing to know is that you can bring up to 10 clean glass items to break during your session for free. if you bring an electronic item there is a small fee to account for disposal. the sessions cost the same whether you have 2 people or 4 people. in the room where you get ready, there are lockers with keys to leave your belongings. a staff member explained safety gear choices and all of the procedures clearly before we began. we chose a face shield and gloves. they do have full body suits as well if you want more protection. once you've got your gear on, you have the option for a picture against a backdrop with props that they send to you for no additional charge. there are a few touches that I found added more meaning to the experience but of course are optional. there is a sharpie to write on the items you smash if there is anything you want to symbolically destroy, release, etc. there are also 2 whiteboards- one to express how you feel entering the space and one to express how you feel leaving the space. once you're inside the room, staff clearly explain the rules and you have 25 minutes to break your items which is more than enough time. there are various smashing items - pan, hammers, bats, and a crowbar. it was our experience that the glass is easier to break and super satisfying. they did throw in a free vcr for us which was very kind. the electronics take more effort to break but that is satisfying in its own way. everything was very well explained and thoughtfully executed.

There were eight of us total, and we booked two rooms for 30 minutes. Two people can go into the rooms at a time, which ended up working perfectly. At first, I didn't think 30 minutes would be long enough, but I was so wrong. The adrenaline and rage energy is much more tiring than you expect, so switching out every few minutes was the perfect routine and kept the experience fun and balanced for everyone. The staff member was absolutely great and incredibly helpful in getting us ready. They made sure we were well protected and clearly explained everything before we started. There's more to the experience than just walking in and breaking things, and while there aren't many rules, the safety guidelines are important. The staff did an excellent job walking us through them so we felt comfortable, confident, and safe the entire time. There was a huge variety of items to smash: dishes, cups, bottles, computer equipment, and more. My personal favorite was grabbing the bat and swinging away. It was way more satisfying and relieving than I expected. Afterward, everyone felt amazing--like a big, fresh breath of air. I would 100% recommend Breakroom Therapy for groups, team bonding, or anyone needing a fun and effective stress release. It's a unique experience, incredibly freeing, and something I'd absolutely do again!

We'll definitely be back! Huge thanks to the Orion team for a 10/10 experience!
