This place was so cool. Definitely recommend. The staff was sweet & helpful. They also have a wreck room where you can go break stuff that I will definitely be coming back to try!
This was one of the highlights of visiting Denver. Never been ax throwing, so was super excited about it. Axe Whooping is a great location to do it at! There are multiple bays that can be rented and plenty of space in the location. Instructors give you the lay of the land and instructions/demos/technique of how to throw and retrieve the ax. Also shows you different games to play as well. Sebastian was our instructor and he was great - pretty funny too! LOL! Made for a great experience! If you've never been before and looking to give it a go, try out Axe Whooping! It won't disappoint!
Had a ton of fun here. Nice establishment. Sebastián assisted used with drinks, safety, techniques, and different but simple strategies to make it more enjoyable. Oppose to just throwing an axe at a wood board. Do need to be aware the pricing you see listed is per person and not per lane/bay.... unlike bowling & Topgolf. So just be mindful. But overall nice experience and would recommend.
Not gonna lie..when we arrived at this location it looked pretty sketchy from the outside and I was rethinking if it was a good idea to be here, not being familiar with the area. I think the graffiti on the front is really what caught my eye. But we went inside and there were plenty of people throwing axes and knives and having a good time. We were greeted right away and were able to get a lane as walk-ins. We grabbed some drinks and got to work. Our trainer Sebastian was awesome! He was really patient with us as he explained the proper techniques and watched us throw, giving feedback along the way. I didn't realize that we were just warming up until he came back shortly after and explained some games we could play. We had time for two games for our group of 4 which added some fun to the experience and a little friendly competition. He also gave us some ideas of things to do in the area and coupons to use if we ever return. I hope we get a chance to return again in the future. I believe pricing for this activity is a little pricier here than in NC but I feel we got our moneys worth.
This is nothing like going bowling or to top golf, also I don't think it's for everybody! We came here on Sunday afternoon with a few friends- walked in. Parking in Denver on sundays is usually a breeze and it's free! We found a spot right in front of this place. They weren't as busy and we were accommodated quickly. All instructions and safety rules were provided to us by Vish - he made sure we were clear in terms of safety as well as the proper way to throw the Axe. Also appreciate him stopping by during the game to make sure we were doing alright. The reason for the missing one star in my review is the price! Unanimously, we thought that this was on the higher side. The prices are per person although you would be sharing the box with your group and $30 per person per hour is steep!!! This is a fun activity but I don't think I will frequent it. Definitely worth a try though!
Holy sh!t!! Had the most fun tonight at Axe Whooping!! Came here after dinner when my son noticed axe throwing across the street. Not going to lie, I was hesitant to take my 14 year old axe throwing but I'm glad we went. Amanda took care of us and she's a sweetheart. As a family we had the best time and hope to come back before we head to the airport in the afternoon ... hey, a girl can dream. Wishing Axe Whooping continued success in 2022 and BEYOND!!!
4.5 stars. After date night dinner at Anise, my partner and I came to Axe Whooping for some productive stress relief. Hey that's a half rhyme! It took some time for us to be greeted at the front (we didn't know what we were doing) but after signing waivers, we were escorted to our throwing lane and given a quick tutorial about safety by Amanda. We had SUCH a blast and even made up some of our own points-based games. Kinda wish someone offered us a second axe so we could do double-handed throws like the couple next to us, but we enjoyed our time bettering technique and accuracy. Totally worth $30 each. Next time I want to try the Wreck Room. Thanks Amanda for being such a great hostess!!
You've gotta try it! It sounds intimidating but honestly it's easier than you think and a lot of fun! My husband and I were in town for wedding and feeling adventurous and it was a blast! It's actually similar to darts. They give you a coach in the beginning that helps you learn how to throw it and give you games to play. It's also inexpensive! You've gotta try it!
Obviously the whole covid sitch... messing with things. But here's my feedback based on my Feb 2021 visit. We had a good-sized group and I thought it was great that our instructor made it a competitive game! He spilt us up and had us play game similar to darts. One game was reaching a certain number of points (tricky at the end where the loser could make a comeback) and another was similar to cricket. I've done this once before in Milwaukee and the biggest difference here was there NO bar, and our axe teacher pretty much stayed with us the majority of the time. My prior experience they were there but really spent the most time at the beginning teaching you how to throw and would check back in. Some people started throwing with on arm, they yeah you to use two bit don't stop you for one. So, I tried it and kind of liked the feel better but others didn't. I'd try both several times to see what feels better. At the end our axe Thea her start showing us "trick shots". That was interesting and I'm glad nobody lost any body parts, lol. And turns out I'm damn good and throwing two axes! I was even sharing my theory and coached others and it seemed to work! See the video! The place looks very much like a warehouse. Plastic is hanging down I guess due to the damn pandemic. The drink situation could me much, much better. They basically stick their fridge with whatever, super basic items. Like domestic beers and hard seltzers. That's it, no wine, no mixers. And not even good local or craft beer, either - yuck! I can't give this 5 stars due to that. Also, there is a small wreck it room there where you let out your frustrations and break stuff!!! I was asking about it and you can either purchase things from them to break (see pics) or you can pay a flat fee I think it was $40 to bring in your own items. So depends on what you want or how much. You still have to pay the room fee, I'd imagine, on top of that. Fun place but I hope they make it more into an inviting space in the future and definitely work on the drinks/bar options. They have axe throwing leagues and CBD infused N/A beverages if those tickle your fancy.
We had so much fun that we extended our session. Fantastic attention and instruction. Great music and prices! -@RealBoringHousewife
My coworkers & I were in Denver for a business trip and decided to stop by here for some team building. I was able to get a reservation for us online. Vish was our instructor & he was awesome! It took me awhile to get into the groove of things, but he was patient with me and would cheer us on whenever we did a good job. Once you get used to the axes, you can try throwing knives. That was so cool to do. 10/10 recommend this place! It's so fun!
Let's just say, throwing axes is not for the faint of heart, or for anyone on a budget. With family visiting from out of town, we were all turned on at the idea of throwing axes one evening, because why not. With Axe Whooping the closest of the 2 bars like this in Denver, the group and I ventured here for a little fun. PRO's: ++ Located on South Broadway, near Speer, the space is brand spanking new, easy to spot and has ample street parking by meter. On the Sunday evening we stopped by, we were able to pull up straight in front of the building, free of charge. Thank you Sundays! The interior is pretty bare, featuring a variety of axe throwing lanes for groups, a few picnic tables and the famous rage room in the back! ++ Staff is insanely friendly in offering help, advice and are actually on commission in assisting customers, and groups. Only 4 in our party of 5 wanted to throw axes, so a young woman (whose name I cannot remember for the life of me!) graciously helped us in getting started, how to properly throw an axe in proper form, and assisted in keeping score while playing one of the various games suggested. ++ THE RAGE ROOM. Literally the coolest idea - allowing any and all parties to blow off a little steam. Seriously! The small square room is filled with various breakables (think vases, glass fixtures, etc....) along with something to smash them with - a baseball bat and sledge hammer were offered in addition to your own arm to throw objects against the wall. Although each session comes with only 3 items to smash, additional items (laptops, lamps, tv's...) can be purchased for smashing! Even better - you're welcome to bring in your own items for smashing! Once you've suited up, you can pick any music to your liking and rage out! Talk about therapeutic! ++ Throwing axe's is a total workout. No really! After a single hour (which is plenty I might add) I was exceptionally sore, having used muscles not normally worked as hard! ++ Coming in January, an axe throwing league will be starting, allowing for anyone who is anyone to join for 8 weeks! CON's: --Okay the only major con here is the price tag, which is why my review rates at just 3 stars. Rather than paying per lane, like the bays at Top Golf, this spot charges $22.50/person/hour! For just ONE hour of throwing, it cost our group of four $90 - yikes! The rage room is extra, at $15 for 15 minutes, including 3 small items to smash - which can last all of 30 seconds, if you're lucky. Although Axe Whooping offers more pro's than con's, I just can't shake the hefty price tag. However, if you're looking for a unique, interesting, fun and expensive night out - this is definitely your place.
Awesome activity! Three hours with her axe throwing trailer was an afternoon of fun, games, and competition. Great way to hang with friends, throw axes, and get some aggression out. Highly recommend!

We went axe throwing for the first time and it was so much fun! Al was our coach and she was FANTASTIC!! She clearly demonstrated the different ways to safely throw the axe, and she had about 4-5 games for us to play. The staff there as a whole was super friendly and it was a positive and fun environment. We will be telling all our friends about this place and give it a 10/10! read more

Axe throwing is one of our favorite family activities for our group of college-aged kids and us older-timers! We've tried places on the Front Range and I have to say that Axe Whooping on Broadway has hit the axe right on the nose. Let's start with getting there and parking. At first, parking seems daunting but there is actually a parking lot and lots of street parking nearby. Once inside, the front area is well-organized and the staff are super helpful in getting your group checked in and ordering any beverages (beer, hard seltzer and a nice variety of nonalcoholic drinks are available). The axe-throwing experience is well-scripted- your coach will give your group instructions as needed, tailored to the experience level of your group. The differentiating factor for coaching at Axe Whooping is that your coach makes additional game suggestions and provides you the chance to work with different throwing elements throughout your visit. This provides additional entertainment AND keeps the entire group engaged. We got a chance to use throwing stars and knives. Then, we moved on to "trick shots" which was a super fun way to end our session. The other great thing is the price. They have a competitive price for the area AND they have some specials (I believe it's Monday and Tuesday - check the website) which can make it an even more affordable larger family or group activity. We will definitely be returning. The only "even better if," suggestion I have for the managers and staff is to take a page from one of the places in Loveland and (1) provide a score sheet that has structure/lines for newbies and (2) to provide more game suggestions to keep up the variety. Our coach had us play "51," and then we remembered the "minefield," game ourselves which is a lot more fun and evens out the playing field in a group. read more

We've been to 3 axe throwing places now and honestly this is the best one we've been to!!! Extremely affordable compared to other axe throwing places. We love how spaced out the area was so you didn't feel crowded around the other parties. This was one of the better nights we've had in Denver! We had a group of 4 of us and our host was the funniest quirkiest person ever. She set up so many games for us to play while we were axe throwing that the 2 hours flew by!!! We played tic tac toe, first person to get to 55, connect 4 all integrated into our axe throwing!! She also brought out fun other things we can try tossing like knives and stars! It seriously felt like no time passed at all and next thing we knew the 2 hours were over!!! They have a variety of drinks to purchase. Alcoholic and non alcoholic. The music was great and we overall had the best time!!! Don't skip on this place a fun night out in Denver!!! read more

I did this with my husband a few months ago and we had such a blast! We could choose a hatchet or axe to throw with, and then you can graduate to throwing two at once. It was a phenomenal workout, and the staff was super helpful. I'd highly recommend it! read more
I came here with my coworkers and other partners as a team builder. We had the place to ourselves as it was early and they opened just for us. The instructor was great--good humor, relaxed countenance, and friendly coaching. He showed us different ways to throw the axe as well and gave useful feedback if we weren't landing the axe. It was daunting at first, to throw a lethal weapon at a board with onlookers questioning if you had a steady hand as well as prowess in hitting the board. I definitely felt the embarrassment when the axe just bounced off the board and there were times of danger when I walked to get my axe when someone else was throwing. I would equate this experience with bowling or golf, but with an axe. There are certain techniques, poses, and moves that will increase your accuracy and ability. It was good fun, but probably not a sport I would take up for $22.50 an hour. If you haven't done this before, I would recommend trying it at least once for fun. I may come back after getting pissed off about something. Anger seems to be encouraged here. ;) read more
You wanna throw down at Axe Whooping? Let's do this! The place was awesome and I am already looking forward to coming back. I made reservations and paid online. Booked a party of 5 adults the day before as they had availability. Received an email confirmation and I was ready to show my lumberjack skills. The email said to come at little early so you could fill out your liability waiver forms. ( 10 minutes is ok) When I arrived I was able to park in their parking lot. Good thing too because Broadway has metered street parking and it's very hard to find a spot. Masks are required when entering. The owner was there and he was so chill , checked us in , introduced us to our lane instructor and off we went. Our lane instructor was cool too. He gave us a our safety spiel , showed us how to throw , answered our questions and was very nice , funny too. Didn't hover but was always within reach to help or suggest. There were long communal tables to sit at while you're waiting for your turn , there was music playing, which was my kind of genre. There was a mini fridge where you could buy sodas and water if you wanted. Overall this definitely was a five-star experience it was a good night, everybody was nice and friendly, it was safe and I would recommend doing it to switch things up from bowling or darts or anything like that. read more
Awesome spot. Never been axe throwing before and now we are all hooked. Cody was great! He made the whole experience fun and exciting. There was 8 in our group, they got us in pretty quick. Fast friendly service. With all the covid stuff going on they were well prepared to handle customers. Masks were worn by all, hand sanitizer was available and everything was perfect. We will be back again soon! Thank you. read more

This place was super cool! Love their COVID procedures - I felt super safe. They recommend you make an appointment due to limited capacity and as soon as you walk in you're required to sanitize as well as a temp check. Then you sign a virtual waiver, sanitize one more time and they set you up at a socially distanced throwing station. My friends and I had SO much fun and of course I won't the first game. Kalebh was SUPER helpful and I'm pretty sure I'm going professional after this. read more

Our team came here for some pre-happy hour fun without really knowing what to expect and, I've got to say, this was such a blast! The staff was very welcoming and approachable, and our coach did a great job of providing some much-needed instruction. The atmosphere was so laid-back and low-stress (which you've gotta appreciate when people are walking around with hatchets) and they made us feel comfortable when it came to both safety and technique. Before heading in, we didn't know how difficult the actual axe-throwing would be. We were pleasantly surprised that, with a few pointers and practice throws under our belts, we were soon not just throwing axes but also doing trick throws and two-axe tosses. Like with bowling, this is perfect for a group of friends or colleagues. So glad we came here! read more
