    This spot makes for the perfect date night. Specials include a couple of hours of axe throwing and they offer other cool games. But let's talk about the food!!!! Don't sleep on their delicious pizza. 10/10 and it was a bonus that the staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. They help you along the way if you're a novice axe thrower like me.

    finally went axe throwing for the first time, and I can definitely say my expectations were way more exceeded. For a Thursday night, it was pretty empty so we had the place to ourselves majority of the time which was cool. When we showed up, we were immediately greeted and set up with one of the coaches. he talked us through how everything works and how to throw the axe, show us the different games on the projector -- and we had a blast. I did see one of the guys making pizzas in the kitchen and it did look really delicious but we had already ate so next time I will definitely try their food. Overall though I would highly recommend going - I absolutely loved it and honestly, it was pretty stress relieving lol. I cannot wait to go back!!

    This was my first time Axe Throwing , I booked an hour to celebrate my cousin's birthday and it was a fun time. Pretzels and pizzas were good, good selection of drinks (2 drink limit while throwing axes) very clean, staff was friendly and went over the safety rules, techniques on how to throw an axe safely, etc. Definitely a fun time

    My daughter and her boyfriend were spending the Memorial Day weekend in San Diego, so I planned with her for our family to spend some time together on Sunday. We first had a delicious early dinner at Del's Hideout, which if you haven't dined at yet, I highly recommend you check it out. After dinner, my daughter had made reservations for all of us to get our Thor God of Thunder on by throwing axes at the Axe Thro Co. This was my first time experiencing this fun place and we all had a blast. Axe Thro is located in the Balboa Avenue area specifically the Convoy District aka Asian Restaurant Row. It is located within a strip mall where it's next to Taste of Hong Kong and you can find Firestone, Hive, Da Nang Corner, Coco Ichibanya, and Cross Street. Parking here can get filled up and the parking spaces are tight. As you enter the facility, you'll immediately notice lanes where there's a large wooden board at the end of the lane. There are pool tables, a wall with some selfie pic opportunities like a large pair of wings and some murals, and they have a small store where you can buy merchandise and axes. They also sell refreshments and snacks. There are high top tables where you can sit to watch axes being thrown down range. When you enter Axe Thro, you're immediately greeted by their friendly staff and a counter to check in. Their price sheet shows that they charge $35/person whether you reserve a single or double lane. My daughter booked two lanes for our party of 8 and according to the sheet, it says 7-8 people get 60 minutes. We were generously given 90 minutes. Prior to becoming Thor or Paul Bunyan, you have to sign a waiver. Before you actually throw your first axe at the target, one of the coaches will go over the rules, techniques, and the type of games you can play. Big ups to the two gentlemen who worked on Sunday during our reservation time of 6pm. Hunter and the other young man provided outstanding customer service and gave coaching tips that allowed us to throw the axes properly. All the targets are displayed via a light projector onto the large wooden board. Make sure to abide by their rules, so pay attention when the coach is going over them. It really was fun and exhilarating throwing sharp axes at targets, zombies, and Christmas ornaments. Our family got our competitive juices going where we competed against each other as families, old vs young whippersnappers, and men vs women. Scoring is controlled by your party through a use of a mouse and keyboard. $35 or $30/person if you're active or a veteran military servicemember was a reasonable price for quality family time. The Axe Thro Co is a fun and entertaining experience where you'll enjoy throwing axes whether you've done it before or you're doing it for the first time. This was my first time and although there were a couple times where I sucked at throwing an axe, the entire outing was a great time had by all of my family.

    We came here because it was a friend's birthday, and their girlfriend decided to host a gathering at Axe Thro Co to celebrate! Axe throwing was always something I wanted to try at least once, so when the opportunity rose, I was excited to go! - PARKING - Large parking lot, although it does share the space with several other busy businesses. You're bound to find a parking space, but possibly not right in front of the building! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - Since it was a curated group visit, we had two instructors that helped our group of 13. We got a separate area that had 4 lanes, which was nice to keep our group together and away from the rest of the lanes open to the public. They gave great pointers to everyone, and depending on what you needed to work on, offered slight tweaks to help us zone in on the target! Really great engagement and friendly attitude throughout our time here. They also have merch, pool tables, and drinks for sale. - EXPERIENCE - Due to our large group, they had a few games ready for us to play in teams! First to 50, Humans vs Zombies, and Cricket (3 hits in each zone). Everyone seemed to be having a great time, and the competitive nature of team games always riles you up. They also helped us in storing a cake as a surprise, which they also appeared to time perfectly to bring out when our friend left to the bathroom. Its the little things that make an experience that much better. - OVERALL - A very memorable and fun experience! If you haven't tried Axe Throwing yet, Axe Thro Co is a wonderful place to try out!

    We walked in with no reservation on a Saturday afternoon. Augee was very helpful and also explained everything to us ( a lot of us our first time throwing). They offer several options for games which is great. They also keep an eye on you and offer advice on your throw. They offered great beers and freshly baked pizzas. It was bright and welcoming inside. I definitely recommend trying this place out !

    Awesome oven.  Best pizza.

    Just went here and the food Is amazing. Throwing axes and eating pizza was perfect. You have to go. Best margarita pizza.

    I came here with my husband last Saturday for his birthday and our time here was so fun! We ran late to our reservation by twenty minutes and they still accommodated us :) Ian and the rest of the staff were fantastic instructors and gave us really helpful tips on axe throwing making it a great experience. On top of that we enjoyed the freshest margherita pizza. I would definitely recommend this place!

    This review is probably long overdue. I've been throwing axes for 5 years and after moving to San Diego a year and half ago I was happy to find Axe Thro Co. They hosted leagues in the International Axe Throwing Federation (IATF) formate so I'd be able to carry over my stats and be eligible for tournaments that many of my friends back home would be participating in. Jimmy the owner of Axe Thro Co welcome me to their newly starting out league family. What was even better is they were still hosting league (following all covid guidelines) during the pandemic so it help me meet people in the area when a lot of things were shut down. It was so different going from throwing in large leagues of 30+ to small leagues of 8-12 but it's also great to be apart of something that is really starting to grow. Brought back memories of my 1st ever League which I think was around 20 people so not as small but the pandemic played a role into that for sure. It a great place to throw axes in a group or for a date. The staff is friendly and patient. But the league community is where it's out. Everyone is so encouraging and friendly you won't let a better group of people. I went though a very rough pregnancy the everyone was so supportive. When I came back after 2 leagues off due to hospitalized bedrest and c section, my twins were in the NICU and everyone was so invested in making sure I was doing ok and checking in on how the babies were doing. The community at Axe Thro Co is the best. Seriously try a league it's worth the money, or at least come for an hour session. Oh and they also host tournament doesn't matter your skill level they are seriously fun so if you cannot commit to a league try a tournament.

    This is a totally different experience from other axe throwing places I've been to. Ian and Jimmy really got involved to make sure that we had fun, stayed safe, and understood axe throwing. Ian was our coach for our 30 minute session and helped us make a bunch of adjustments. It's safe to say we improved significantly and had so much fun that we extended our time. Thanks again for the experience! For $30 a person for 45 minutes, I'll be back again! Appreciate the amazing coaching and support. :') Also they know how to take pictures which is a bonus.

    So much fun!!! Brought my family including my 90 year old grandpa who was throwing bullseyes left and right! Check in was smooth followed by a great coach who showed us how to throw, compete and instruction for improvement. Everyone got better and better as we played! This is a great affordable activity that's overall super fun for everyone!! We even bought axes so we can practice at home. Definitely give it a try :)

    The fenced-in axe throwing chutes felt very safe.

    Ask the Community - Axe Thro Co

    How many axe types do they offer, only 1 size or 4-5 like other places?

    We only have 1 type of house axe we provide for guests, other axes can be thrown if a guest wants to bring them in as long as they are IATF compliant.

If it wasn't for it being so salty, they would have been perfect because they were juicy and crispy. Common Theory is pretty huge. Lots of seating inside with different types of seating. They also have a patio for outdoor seating. There is also a Speakeasy which is on our list of places to try. Our waiter was very nice and kept checking in on us which was very good.

The glass that I was served in had this egg like smell - that threw off my pallet a bit by the time I received my food. For food, I ordered the pizza munchkins. Which was basically just like a little round breadsticks with Parmesan cheese on top and on the side it came with spiced shakshuka sauce, poached egg and cilantro. The bread was very tasty. It was warm. You can tell that it was fresh. I felt like the sauce needed a bit more acid and salt. Especially the poached egg. I felt like it needed some salt. And I could tell that they had just poached the egg and they were keeping it in warm water because it was really firm. Texture wise the bread was tasty. I wasn't a fan of the egg or sauce. The ambience it seems like there's a lot of seating once you walk in. It was pretty empty when I got there, but by the time I received my food, it filled up pretty quickly. And there's even an area for families to dine in the back area where the coffee shop normally is. I wasn't that impressed but I'm gonna try and come through one of these days for the coffee and see if I have a better experience.
