This is now at Westmoreland Mall and we visited it on a Friday night. After reserving a spot and…read moreplacing a $50 deposit online, we arrived anxious to see how well we would do. A group of 6 of us, all women over 50, were out for a birthday evening of fun. When we arrived, there was no one behind the counter but several people were already throwing axes. (We were about 10 minutes late because of our previous dinner and drinks). We stood there for a few minutes waiting to be greeted and I finally asked in a loud voice "does anyone work here?" A young man turned around from awe throwing and said "yes I do". So then we started the check in process of paying our remaining balance and signing the all important waivers. Once that was done he gave us a simple tutorial on how to throw. I had no luck in getting my axe to stick so he suggested I try two handed. That made a world of difference and I was consistently hitting near the bulls eye or on it from there. Everyone in our group did well and we did have a very Funtime. The young man named Todd was very nice and patient with us and by the end of the evening let us throw the "big axe"! Although we started out a little slow, it all turned out well and we all said we'd do this again. If you're looking for something different to do, I'd highly recommend this, especially for a rainy day when you can't do outside activities.

We had a group of 10 walk in and pay $20 each, assigned to one stall, 2 throwing at a time. The next stall over had only 2 people throwing. So they generated$40 for their stall and we generated $200. But they continuously were throwing while we had to wait our turns to get to throw. Doesn't seem fair.

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!!!!!

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.

The axe throwing lane was shorter than the others and I'm not sure why but none of us were doing as well as we have in the past. The waiting area was also small. This wasn't a huge deal because we had 3 lanes to our party. I also hated the fact that it was so quiet in there! You had to pay to use the Juke box. Another thing that I did not like is they we were basically kicked out after our hour I had reserved. We weren't asked if we wanted to pay more for another hour which we would've definitely done because we were having a good time.

Upon entering you are teamed up with a coach that provides you detailed instructions on all the rules of the facility and the sport.

Bob was the instructor we had and he was wonderful and help my throw improve throughout the evening. You can either keep score which is similar to bowling or just throw and have a fun time.

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!
