This is a great date idea or even a good destination for hanging out with buddies. The lane behind us was having a party where younger kids were there, so I don't believe it's 21+. They provide multiple types of throwing instruments which were decently sharp. The smaller axes and throwing knives were made by Smith & Wesson - so you feel like more of a bad @ss throwing them - and they were fun to throw. They also allowed me to perfect my form for throwing the larger axes, which was my favorite instrument. The staff provided guidance for throwing since it was our first time. They were also available throughout our session for follow-up questions and guidance on throwing which was very helpful. One of the best parts is the smell. As you enter, you're immediately hit with the smell of freshly chopped wood which is awesome. The decor is also very inviting with tons of pictures of happy axe-throwing customers lining the walls. There's a separate bar upstairs with interesting games to play and canned/bottled alcoholic beverages, hopefully for after you're done throwing axes!

He explained how to throw and how to change the games. Gave us our first commercial spiel as well. There is beer and cider and water for sale. He's trying/waiting for wine. We had a great time. The different games were fun and we all found our favorite. When our time was up he came back around with foam axes and good pictures of us and we got another commercial. Since it wasn't busy, he gave us another half hour and we played on. When our time was up, he came by again and asked how we liked our experience. We were all happy and then we got our 3rd commercial. He is very passionate about this place. That's a good thing but once was enough. We all liked it and would come back. I highly recommend.

I'd been hearing about axe throwing being the cool new thing and my partner was ecstatic as this reminds him of his childhood growing up in the woods. I was even happier to find that prices are reasonable, but slightly concerned I might chop off a toe. I really wanted to try this so I made my partner make reservations ahead of time (I did see quite a few people who tried to walk in turned away). The place is a teeny bit hidden inside a non descript building, but when you first walk in you can see it thru the glass window. We came by a little early and were able to get started early. It's kind of like bowling where you get your own lane and choose your own axe. I was happy to find that they had both bathrooms and wifi available. We received some instruction and coaching throughout our visit. Throwing an axe the exact right way to get it to stick into the wall is tricky. It is certainly something I still need to master, but I was over joyed when I finally got some picture worthy throws near the bulls eye. My partner thinks he is pretty good and is considering joining a league in the future. Even though we don't live in the area the employees were helpful and provided us info about the different kind of leagues and what we could expect if we joined one. I'd definitely check this out again and would even consider it somewhat of a work out.

Loved this place!! It has only been running for a month, but totally worth our $20. We have never…read moredone anything like axe throwing in our life. It seemed simple enough, but there is totally a learning curve!!! Luckily for us, Axe and Grind has people there to coach us through the learning part so we could actually enjoy ourselves by sibling an axe into the target. This made a difference because they don't just send you off to throw axes randomly at wood boards. They explain how to do it, show you how to do it, watch you do it, then help you make adjustments until it starts clicking for you. Once it starts to click, then they teach you how to play the axe throwing game (I.e. what the red lead and blue dots mean and how to score). Once we got the hang out it, the games was super fun!! We even practiced doing the one handed throw. It was appprox. $22 per a person after tax for one hour. But you only need an hour. Lol. Any longer and your arms might hurt!! Usually, you share one lane for 2-4 people. Just like bowling, except with axes. It's like bowling and archery mixed into one game!!! It is hidden so you have to search a bit for the sign to find the location downtown. You also have to find street parking, which is a bummer. But you can always walk around to get your money of parking worth. I heard they get busier at night so we went in the late afternoon before dinner and the night crowd. We got a lane for each of us individually after having to share 2 lanes for 3 people. So was fun and not crowded for us. Def recommend. Something unique and fun to do with your friends and family!! Just remember to wear opened toe shoes. If you don't, they have crocs that you can borrow, but it requires you to wear shoes that strangers have worn before. I suppose nothing diff that bowling shoes, but if you can remember, wear closed toed shoes!

I booked us up for the basic ax throwing session. The had some drinks and game in the front as you enter. After a quick explanation of how to throw we were off .

There was another group there and the co-owner Van gave us all a brief but thorough throwing and safety training and then gave us throwing tips throughout the time we were there. He was a great coach and had a good sense of humor. It takes a while to get the hang of axe throwing so don't give up if the first half hour doesn't go as well as you'd like it to go. I felt we both really hit our stride during the second half hour. My hubs and I both hit the bullseye three times each! And this is only our second time throwing axes. Highly recommend this place for a fun birthday celebration, friends night out, or work team building activity. It's so much fun and you just might be surprised at how much you enjoy throwing axes!

You can tell he genuinely cares about his business and the people who walk through the door.

On top of that, the Chris Cornell cover band absolutely crushed it. The vibe in the place is perfect--intimate enough that there's not a bad view of the stage, but still full of energy. If you're on the fence, go check this place out. Supporting a local spot like this is a no-brainer.

We were absolutely disappointed and it was a complete waste of money. Axe throwing typically involves a qualified instructor that helps each person perfect their throwing skills so that they can hit the target over and over. This was a teenager that ran over the rules and left us on our own. There were no games, instructions, or any encouragement. The setup was cheaply made, the axes were small hatchets that were incredibly dull, and rather than having two people side by side it was a single lane. I would not recommend this to anyone, and would highly recommend the company re-evaluate this part of the business.
