I visited Steel City Axes as part of a private event. Not only do they have Axe Throwing (Which is…read morevery FUN by the way), but they also have Escape Rooms (I believe there are three different rooms (We got to pick one of the three at our event), and my wife and I chose the "80's Dance Club" room, which was a TON of FUN!!! We were partnered with three other people that we hadn't met before, and we were given a briefing, and then were set loose to try and solve the puzzle, and win the challenge before the allotted time was up. My wife and I are both in our 50's, so this room was perfectly themed for our age (but really, I feel just about any age would still have fun in here, but it was even more meaningful, because we lived the 80's life). The music was perfect, I knew every single song, and the effects, were spot on, and it almost felt like were going back in time. Now, I don't want to spoil the fun, and tell the secrets of this room, but let me just say, that this room was so fun, it had us dancing and singing just like we were at a dance club back in the day!!! Bottom line for us, we did NOT solve the room, as we got stuck on a "time waster" and we lost a lot of valuable time, but my wife and I both want to go back and try it again some day, as well as try out the other themed rooms also. Now, in my opinion, the Escape Room was our favorite part of Steel City Axes, but we also enjoyed the actual Axe Throwing too!! We were on site for a little over two hours, and it took 60 minutes to do the Escape Room. The other sixty minutes was spent mingling with others, and taking turns playing with the axes. We threw axes before our Escape Room, and after. I got the hang of it pretty quickly, and got a few bullseyes, but my wife had a harder learning curve. Eventually she figured it out, and was getting the axes to stick into the target, but her axes (and a few for me too) ended up bouncing off the board. We felt very safe, as there was a staff person watching and making sure we followed all the rules (and gave some tips too). Lastly, I must talk about the decor and ambience of the business, which had a funky-Victorian parlour feel to it. There was antique furniture, paintings, taxidermy (stuffed animals wearing cute clothes), and it felt really homey to me, and had a welcoming/ inviting vibe (Check out some of my photos to see how cool it is). Also, they sell a variety of drinks, to include some of my favorite soda pops, made locally by Natrona Bottling / Red Ribbon Sodas . . . I didn't buy any this time, because our party provided bottled waters (and popcorn), but when I come back, I will certainly patronize the snack bar area. I also think I heard that it was BYO, if you choose to partake in an adult beverage. If I had any feedback to improve my experience, it would be to provide some sort of grade at the end of the Escape Room, such as "You completed 11 of 15 challenges (here's where you went wrong, etc.)." We really were kind of left hanging, we knew we failed, but didn't know by how much. Also, our room guide was a little bit soft-spoken, and I had a bit of a hard time hearing everything he said (Note: I usually wear hearing aids, but because of the pandemic, I stopped wearing them because if I wear a mask it doesn't fit properly when my hearing aids are in (BTW, Masking WAS NOT required here if you are vaccinated, but was optional (Many in our group chose to wear masks, and that's fine with me (I brought a mask with me just in case it got too crowded)). Overall though, I still give this place FIVE stars, and both my wife and I look forward to coming back and trying to solve those Escape Rooms again some day . . . BIG CHEERS for Steel City Axes!!!!!

Staff taking social distancing,…read moremask-wearing, & sanitation procedures very seriously (in addition to axe-throwing safety procedures, of course). I really liked that there was an option for a "no touch" check-in & there were signs everywhere reminding people to wear a mask, hand sanitizer available, & they wiped the axes off after each person in our group was done with their throwing turn. There are stools & tables to hang out on & fridges (!) for BYOB. Instructors were very good at helping me perfect my throwing technique. I'd say perfect for a group of 4-10 people.

My friends and I tried it for the first time in December 2020, and we had so much more fun than we ever expected. It's really cool because the workers show you sort of the form and how to throw the axe, and then you can pick to have an hour or 30 minute time slot and you get 2 lanes to throw in. They even gave us a couple different versions of axes to try and throw! It was $20 per person for a whole hour, and I thought that was a great deal. There's also a way to keep score based on if you can stick the axe into certain parts of the target, so it brings a little bit of competition to the fun and wow we just had such a great time. Really, if you are able you should try this place at least once and see what you think! There's a lot of info still missing on here about this business but I made some edits so hopefully that will change soon.

He came over and opened the clearly locked door and did not look happy at all. It felt like the employees purposely locked the door so no one could come in because they ALL looked miserable. Pretty much the same setup as any other axe throwing place. Some of the boards were loose so we had to change bays a couple of times and the girl had to drill the planks in a few times as well. Would I come back? Probably not.

It was slightly challenging to identify the entrance to the business - it's the same as LumberJAxes. The space is huge and mainly dedicated to axe throwing, but there's a large bar with a good selection of beer on draft, some bottles, and some canned cocktails. The gameshow room is off to the side by one of the entrances. Our "host" took our group in and had us split into two teams of 10. Over the course of an hour and a half, we played several rounds of probably 5 or 6 different games. The host was fun and energetic, doing her best to keep everyone engaged and involved. This was a fun and unique experience priced at $40/pp. They have tons of tables where you can eat food that you order from a local business, clean bathrooms, and a parking lot located somewhat behind the building. Would recommend for a fun indoor activity for a group!
