My first time there was with a friend, we just walked in because we had time to spare, definitely a good choice because we had so much fun! It was our first time throwing an axe, and even though I was nervous, they walk you through it and there's lots of games you can play beside just throwing at a target. We didn't have a reservation, and we'll definitely make one next time, but we were still able to chill by the bar, play some games, and listen to a pretty good variety of music until a lane opened up. You pay for the time you throw, and if we hadn't already bought movie tickets, we would've stayed a lot longer. The staff was friendly and made sure to check on everyone throughout their stay, overall a fun atmosphere, can't wait to go back! read more

Had a Bachelor/Bachelorette party for my best friend and her fiancé. All the bridal party that was in town and a few of the spouses came to help celebrate the couple. Most of us had been there before, but those who hadn't before said that they had a great and fun time. Those who had been before said it was as fun as their first time. We were able to bring snacks while we threw axes and enjoying the music (the employee (Heather) asked the bride/groom to pick the music). Heather, (the emploee we have worked with before) remembered us after a few months of not being at the establishment, kept our drinks flowing and made the experience such a fun, relaxing event. read more

LSA had a fantastic time at our annual company Christmas party at Axe & Ale! Chelsea was great at communicating during scheduling process and helped answer a lot of questions leading up to the party. She and the staff were very helpful and easy to work with both before and during the party. A lot of us had never done any axe throwing before, but with their instructions and tips we got the hang of it very easily. We had great food catered in by Iron Rail and Chelsea managed the buffet and cleaned everything up for us as well. We were overall very pleased with our party and the service we received. 10/10 would recommend! We will definitely be back! read more

If you've never been axe throwing before, GO HERE! They are so sweet and kind and will help you as much as you need! My very first time I didn't feel like they were judging me, it felt like anything but! They treated me with so much care and it made me feel so comfortable! They not only show you how to throw properly but will joke with you and make sure you have a great time! If you have been axe throwing before I STILL recommend this place because the environment is very welcoming and forgiving! They also have really cool games on the boards! You can play connect 4, tik tak toe, and so much mor! It's truly always an amazing time there!! :) read more

I visited Axe and Ale with an old friend while in town from Seattle as a Topeka native. Evan and I were pleasantly surprised with the low-key but professional staff and accomadations -- wood throwing boards with a digital lightup display easy enough to keep score on with a quick tutorial with games including bullseye, duck hunt and kill the zombie. It was a lot of fun with a good balance of physical activity, throwing strategy and reliving the arcade feeling we grew up with as kids. Here's to good times at Axe and Ale, formerly known as Helmer's Leather downtown Top City. read more

My family and I were looking for an activity to do while kids were home from college and we had never thrown axes, but seen some on ESPN late night. Looked fun, so we gave it a shot. Cameron who greeted us and introduced us to how to throw a hatchet, was very kind, and after he had a wonderful time for 90 minutes hurling sharp objects through the air, he joined us for our group photo as well. It really was a good time. If you are looking for something fun and different to try a recommend Axe and Ale for sure. My family had a great time. read more

It was very fun. Good place to go to have a party. Very friendly and nice kind hearted people that work there. The staff make sure you ok no matter what. I would definitely go back and visit again and again all over again. It was sooooo fun and organize on the inside and when outside. I loved it and I will most definitely go back there to do Axe throwing no matter what. It was sooo fun honestly!! Going to do it again some other time and definitely will be back soon. Definitely will have to go on double dates that night we choose to go too. read more

First visit here was a department outing at work a month or two ago and we had a BLAST! I was skeptical going in, but it was so much fun. The staff was very helpful and kind. They also have a nice beer selection and clean bathrooms. Then last night I was at a party with my (adult) daughter and it was boring, so I reached for my phone to see how late Axe & Ale was open and at that exact moment she said "this party sucks, wanna go throw axes?" We went to Axe and Ale and it turned a boring night into a really fun, memorable event. read more

The staff was kind, clean, and professional! I came in with a group of about ten people, and the employee who covered us gave us a full tutorial on how to use the throwing axes, as well as tips and tricks! We were all teens, so no one ordered drinks (with the exception of water lol), but I can easily say that my experience at Axe and Ale was great, and I am sure everyone else in the group had just as much of a blast as I did! read more

My kids received gift cards from the "Easter bunny" this year. My wife decided that we were going axe throwing for Mother's Day. We had a blast. It took me and my two daughters a few rounds to get the hang of it but my wife was a natural. They had a great beer selection. Make sure to call and make a reservation. Foster, the guy working there, was super nice. He was very helpful read more

We had a blast at Axe & Ale. It was the first time for all six of us, and we had so much fun. It didn't take long for us to get the hang of throwing. By the end of our allotted time, a few in the group were aces! The staff was friendly and helpful, the environment was clean, safe, and comfortable. I highly recommend the experience and plan to go back again very soon! read more

Had a greta time, the guy who showed us how to throw was funny and super nice. we definitely sucked at first but this is something I would love to do again. we booked online and there were only 2 of us so I do wish next time we could only book for an hour instead of an hour and a half since we had to get out early doesn't change how much fun I had though! read more

I was looking for something fun and different for a Birthday party. Axe & Ale did not disappoint. We brought in our own party food. Izzy and the other young man ( sorry I don't remember his name) made sure we had everything we needed to set up. We were able to play our own choice of music over their sound system. Everyone had a blast!!! We will be back! read more

Axe & Ale was a fun place for our company to celebrate the holidays together! We had 2 lanes for our party of 12 and plenty of space to spread out and have fun. We brought our own snacks and Axe & Ale had a great variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages to go with. We highly recommend the venue! Thank you for a great evening with friends! read more

We had our whole company go out to Axe & Ale on a Saturday and everything from prior planning with Chelsea to the last minute when we all left was seamless. She even suggested local catering and that went seamless as well. (Thank you Iron Rail!) The staff was very kind & helpful and all of our people had a blast! Will definitely be back again! read more

Excellent experience taking a large work team (about 20 people) to Axe and Ale!
