Axes and O's - One of the boards used for axe throwing at Axes and Os - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

My company booked this spot for our Xmas get together with around 2 full hours of unlimited axe throwing and food. It was my first time trying this out and I've enjoyed it. Some of my colleagues were new to axe throwing too and picked it up really fast. For the catered food, I really like the pizza and beer pretzels. I learned that it's a women owned business and I'd love to support more of such entities in the future. read more

Axes and O's - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Decided to check out this spot while visiting friends in Manassas. It was easy to book and the session was reasonably priced. They had various game options but only one type of axe to throw. The lanes were not as long as the usual place I go to back home and you have to be careful not to trip on the black mat. The young staff member going over the basics was a little too quiet when going over the essentials, but half of my party were not novices. The drink options were ok, but mainly canned cocktails. read more

what a great place to do axe throwing! located near Dulles Towne Center, this hidden spot is a great place to go with friends to hang. they have corn hole while you wait, a bar with a few limited selections and glow in the dark axe throwing in the back during selective hours. I came here with a friend to hang out and try something new. it's definitely not easy, but you do have a great guide who is ther to show you his tips and tricks to landing the axe where you want it go....which is on the board. the time will swing by fairly quickly and you'll get a great workout from throwing an axe around especially if you're competing. read more

Very fun place, great instruction too! Food and drinks were also good! Definitely worth it, so give it a try.

Fun and cozy inviting place for family and friends to enjoy each other's company and release some stress (safely, of course!) Although it can get a bit loud, it helps to project stress at the bull's eye with axes and hatchets !! The game master/coach/server goes all of the safety rules and games. So parents should check age restrictions before bringing the kids! They do offer food and drinks (nonalcoholic and alcoholic) and board and table games, as well! Great place to chill and relax with family and friends in a cozy environment!! read more

We had a lot of fun as a family activity here. We did a couple of hours of axe throwing. The staff was very informative and helpful! They have beers and food. The pizza and chicken fries were really good. This spot wasn't super busy on a Sunday afternoon. Tip: you have to wear close toe shoes read more

Axes and O's - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

This was the first time I tried axe throwing and it was better than I expected. It takes a little bit to get the hang of throwing an axe but it's fun when you get the hang of it. The pizzas and fries were great. I also thought the server was knowledgeable and helped us figure out what game to play. read more

This was a fun workout alternative activity. The staff was very helpful with lots of throwing pointers. The place was clean and the patrons were cheerful. Everyone will celebrate your first stick. I highly recommend this location! read more

Ok so this was a fun place to go on the spur of the moment. Friendly staff that got me up to speed on axe throwing and no wait, even on a Saturday. Unique activity on the rise - I'll be back when in the area. read more

We celebrated a birthday at Axe's and O's earlier this December and could not have had a more positive, memorable experience! None of us had done axe throwing before, but our instructor was AMAZING! Please help me remember his name after I share pictures from our experience (he had long hair). But he made us feel comfortable with the entire learning process and supported us throughout the experience. He challenged us when we started to get the hang of things and always kept our visit interesting--introducing new games to us and helping with point decisions. Love that there was food as well! The atmosphere is off the charts. Such a beautiful establishment! Would absolutely come here again. read more

Made reservations online - easy process! You do have to pay right there to reserve your spot. The chill area is pretty spacious and has lots of seats and there is a bar as well. The lanes itself had privacy for large groups, which was nice. Our reservation was at 7pm and our group filled out the waivers online. We got there around 6:55pm, checked in, and had to wait for the other groups that were checking in to fill out their waivers, which was kind of annoying as it says that it is highly recommended to arrive early for this step. Our instructor, Pedro, called multiple groups including mine to come join him for the demo around 7:10pm. The demo was probably five minutes long. We ordered some drinks and beer buckets. I had the pineapple express and it was really good - 10/10. My friend had the sangria and she said it was good, but not as good as the pineapple express. The beer buckets were $25 for 6 bottles. Around 8:25pm, Pedro was coming through everyone's lane to collect payment. We had a hard stop at 8:30pm - so about an hour and 15 mins of throwing the axe. In the end, we had asked Pedro to take a group photo of all us, and he said, with an attitude, "Yeah, hurry up guys I have to go set up for the next group." Our group stayed until 9:15pm to finish the beer buckets, and there was no next group at 9pm. read more

Axes and O's - Lanes to throw - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Came here with 10 friends to celebrate my birthday. We were given 4 targets to aim at. It was perfect because no one was waiting long for a turn. We all had so much fun and improved a lot in the two hours. They let us bring a cake in, and was offered a free drink for my birthday. Also, Brian was great. Very helpful with throwing advice, funny comments, and showed us a fun game to play. Really liked him! Josh, who was training, was nice too! read more

Went ax throwing for the first time for a friend's party. They rented all the throwing lanes in the back. We had a coach stay with us, giving us tips and taking our food and drink orders. It was really fun. The coach was really helpful and encouraging. Good selection of drinks (beer, wine, and cocktails without hard liquor) and food. I only had the pretzels but they were soft and warm. The facility was clean and well maintained. Lots of space. They even had some arcade machines in the front. read more

The place was EMPTY when we walked in. As in - no other customers were there. If you cannot accommodate walk-ins, then you should say that. And if your policy is 'scheduled start times', then your staff should clearly communicate this. As for 5-star service - I can tell you for the 25min that we were waiting, we were completely ignored by the 5-6 employees who were busy talking amongst themselves. read more

I think everyone goes: "Axe throwing, that's dumb" when they first hear the idea or the "let's go". It's definitely strange-ish, but much more less strange as you're here for a bit. Training is great, service is great, and weirdly enough - the food is adequate and long as you're not expecting Noma fermentation lab dishes. It's like a faster paced, harder bowling. There should be a ton of people here but I'm sure it suffers from the Top Golf principle, which is that it seems like a pain in the a to get there, set it up, pay for it, reserve a lane, etc. etc. But it's not. Super easy and you're throwing a big axe at wood with a beer in your hand in 10 minutes. read more

We booked a large group to celebrate my husbands birthday. From booking to end of the night, everything was perfect. Each staff member I dealt with was professional, responsive and accommodating. They are located in a set of industrial buildings behind the Dulles Town Center. For parties of less than 20, we booked directly online, paid a 50% deposit and signed online waivers. For groups of 10 or more, they will give you an additional lane. Upon entering, there are obvious sanitizer stations, lots of lobby space and online waiver signing stations. We were escorted to our back area lanes. There are relaxing couches and tables to use in each station. The rules are given to us by a coach. My only suggestion is that they turn off their overhead music because the coach was explaining to 3 groups. It was hard to hear him. The coach is also your waiter. We ordered alcohol and appetizers. All the drinks came right away and the food arrived shortly after. They have a great selection of craft beers, cocktails and so many yummy snacks. We ordered the flatbreads, pub pretzels, various tot dishes and their Buffalo chicken dips. All the food was hot and fresh. We also ordered several mimosa flights that were excellent. This was such an original idea. The lanes were sanitized during our play time. It's $35 for 90 minutes of play time. We had time to socialize and throw. The lobby has old school video game. Everything about this event was great. I highly suggest it if you want a night out with friends. read more

Axes and O's - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

If you are looking for something different and fun to do with your friends and family, I suggest giving Axes and O's a try. Making a reservation is the wise thing to do, but walk-ins are accommodated if at all possible. My family came here over the Christmas break and we all had a great time. Jurgen (sp?) was our "coach" and waiter (a man of many talents) and he was wonderful. He showed us the proper techniques and assured us that anyone can do it, even though my wife was a little worried she would not be able to get the axe to stick to the board, but she did great. The facility is clean, the bar is very nice, there are plenty of tables and seats and the staff is super friendly and positive. Jurgen was outstanding as he walked around, giving helpful tips to anyone who needed it and just generally being an enjoyable person to talk with. Our hour and a half session was just about right as the four of us were getting pretty tired out by the end, so our visit turned out to be a complete success and we will do it again with our friends, too. The big surprise to me was the food. I had used our visit to see if taking my employees to this place would be a good idea, but my team likes to eat so I wasn't sure if the food would be enough for them, but the food we tried was very good and the other food we saw looked great, so I'll definitely be planning a spring outing for my team at Axes and O's. We very much appreciate Jurgen's hard work and everyone else on the staff who worked hard to make sure everyone had a good time. We look forward to coming back and seeing the changes that are coming that we heard about. See you soon! read more

Had a group reservation for a Wednesday afternoon. We intended to have a working lunch, followed by some axe throwing. We did both, and was so much more fun than we expected x.

Pricing was reasonable, You will find us there again!!!!!!! read more

Axes and O's - First time throwing an ax. This was great experience... nice venue and amazing staff! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Sterling, Virginia

Went with a group of friends for a birthday outing at Axes and O's. You have to make reservations ahead of time because the place is very organized. An instructor will explain everything to you and your group when you get there. You can order food and drinks easily while you throw axes. The facility was very clean and well kept. The staff was nice. The people working there enjoyed instructing others and answering questions. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to have a fun date night, birthday party, or overall good time throwing axes. read more

First time ax throwing experience and it was a blast! Was greeted by our instructor, Pedro, who was instructive and patient. Definitely will return. read more

Very fun experience! My sister, friend, and I had a girls night out and started here. The instructor was very attentive and patient in helping us find our axe throwing techniques. The furniture is very nice. Very modern looking. They do sell beer and food but the happy house should have more choices. We ordered the chips and queso which was delicious but not super shareable. Could be bigger. Beside that, really good time! read more

It was my first axe-throwing experience, so I don't have a comparison. However, Axes and O's was a fun experience. The staff was friendly and courteous. I cannot remember his name, but one staff member took the time to help us with our technique, talk to us about the leagues, and even show us his axes. They definitely earned a return visit in the future. read more

I researched an axe throwing activity for my family and glad to come across Axes and O's. Website made it easy to reserve a time slot and complete the waiver. The facility had easy parking. The staff was welcoming and attentive when we arrived. The atmosphere was bright, clean, and modern. They had a nice bar, comfy coaches, and video games. The axe master did a great job showing us how safely throw the axe. Then observed us throughout the entire session for questions. I would come back again. This was a fun family activity. read more

We went to Axes and O's as a family activity over the holidays with a 20 and 22 year old. Everyone had fun. Pedro provided instruction of how to axe throw and then we practiced. After s little practice Pedro showed us a few games we could play against each other and in teams. No one is our group had ever done axe throwing before so it was a lot of fun to learn how to throw, score and compete. read more

I have been throwing axes for a couple of years so whenever I travel I make sure to bring my axes with me so I can try the local axe throwing venue. This is by far the best axe throwing venue I have visited. What impressed me at first was the proper league targets at every bay not just at "league bays". The staff was friendly and helpful, they also understood when I said I was an experienced thrower and had the presence of mind to not try to re-teach me how to throw. They weren't just going through the motions. You could tell the staff actually cared about the sport not just a paycheck. The food was exceptional, I had a Flatbread pizza and loaded tots that were delicious. They even have a lively trivia night. Seriously this is an amazing location, if you are ever nearby you owe it to yourself to pay them a visit. read more

I've been to Axes and O's twice now with family and it's been a fantastic experience both times! They have pretty solid food and drinks in addition to the great axe throwing environment. It's a very spacious area and the equipment is well maintained. There are laminated cards with rules for different games which is fun. Our axe throwing guide Brian was really awesome - great teaching and guidance, and a very enthusiastic and humorous teacher! Reserving your space is also pretty straightforward and easy to do. It's quite a seamless experience and extremely beginner friendly. read more

This was my 1st time going to an Ax throwing facility. I went with a group for some post New Years fun. The venue is well laid out, clean and the staff is friendly. Our coach was great at explaining the rules, safety and throwing techniques. We all had a fantastic time at Axes & O's! I think myself and my girlfriend may even try to join their league. This place is a must try! read more

Food was pretty good, but the portions were small. It's more of a small plates, bar food situation. I wouldn't go there expecting a sit down dinner. We sat in the bar and played trivia. It was a decent venue for trivia, but honestly all the axe throwing was annoying. I know, it's an axe throwing bar, but the "ka-thunk" sounds in the background all through the night are a bit much if you are not partaking. Anyway, the drinks were good and the food was decent. I just don't think this is the place for a quiet happy hour, so I probably won't be back, but axe-throwers, I think, will be thrilled. read more

Drove by randomly one day and was intrigued. Visited their website and made a reservation for my husband and I the next weekend. What a fun place! From making the reservation, to the folks who work there - everything was simple, relaxed, and enjoyable. The throwing coach showed us how to throw, gave us tips, and taught us scoring and axe throwing games. She also brought us drinks from the bar. Good happy hour specials in bar if you get there before 7. We will be back..with friends next time! read more

What a great time! This was our first time axe-throwing and won't be the last. Made a reservation for 2 for the 1pm Saturday slot and we had our own lane. Pedro was a great coach, cheerleader and server. Bar offerings are great and Connor made some great recommendations on the beer front. I can't wait to bring other friends and family here in the future. A very cool experience well worth the cost! read more

What a fun afternoon. The family had never been Axe throwing so we thought we would escape a little heat and check out Axes and O's for some entertainment. Upon walking in we were greeted by friendly staff in a very open yet inviting environment. After verify we had closed toe shoes on (closed toe shoes are required or you get to where a very colorful pair of their Crocs) and doing a waiver we were assigned an Axe Throwing Coach to help us out. Thanks to Pedro (our coach in a kilt) we were quickly throwing axes. The establishment has a fantastic local beer selection, wines and soft drinks. We opted to try the pretzels as a snack and they were very enjoyable with beer cheese and some grain mustard. We can't wait to do it again in the next few weeks. read more
