This was a great event for a friend's birthday. We really enjoyed the setup. The staff is very helpful and gives you plenty of guidance, if that's what you like. The throwing area is very roomy and helps you feel safe. I've been to other axe throwing places in the Houston area and not all of them seem to be as focused on customer safety, so I appreciated it. There's plenty to drink if you're thirsty as well and the playlist while we were there was great. Totally our demographic (it was 80's rock). Additionally, we were able to throw axes and knives. I've never thrown knives before and they were trickier than axes but it was very fun throwing them. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for axe throwing in this area. read more

Fun activity for family, teens, couples, or work team building. It's best to make a reservation online and fill out waivers online, but you can walk in as well. You choose your package. We did the classic which is axe throwing for an hour for $32/person. You can upgrade to the axes and knives for $40 or upgrade to the premium which includes a dedicated host, a drink and a dedicated host. You start with a safety and throwing tutorial. They have a few game types they tell you about and give you a scoring sheet to guide you through play. I'm sure you can make your own games or rules but it's easiest to just follow the given games. Either way, you basically have at it for an hour. It's pretty fun and fairly easy to pick up. Tons of parking. read more

It's a decent place with decent people. The pricing is not very transparent. I am undecided about visiting again.

Had a great time here. First time experiencing axe/knife throwing. Coaches were all very helpful. Overall staff were very engaged and provided a good experience. Very welcoming environment for all. Inclusive. We did not try the food so cannot speak to that. Highly recommend. read more

Loved our experience at BATL! Austin was hilarious and such a great instructor. Definitely will be back!

This was so much fun! The staff explained how to play very carefully. They let you take some test throws before the clock starts ticking. The handout they provide with different games was very helpful and made game play even more fun. They have swag you can purchase and food and drinks as well. There were plenty of lanes to play on so not much waiting per turn. read more

So much indoor fun was had here for our SomosLoud summit group. The ambiance was casual and the employees were fantastic. They took the time to go over everything with us one on one and told us what we were doing wrong. I definitely recommend coming here. There were about 25-30 of us in our group and I will definitely return to release stress. I Don't know if there was food or not but drinks were available. read more

Good place for a date night, stress reliever or a friends outing. I made a reservation in advance online ($20 deposit to hold). They were accommodating to push our reservation back by 30 min because we were running late. It was a double date (4 ppl) and we signed up for an hour. They have you sign your waiver when you come in. In the beginning of your session, They do give you instructions on safety and teach you how to throw a couple different ways (two handed vs one). This part does take up your time to play the games they have. I wish they would allow a 10 min teaching session prior to your start time. It took us about almost 20 min to go over safety and learning how to throw. So we had a shorter time to get games in. By the time we got comfortable with throwing and got in a grove, time was up. So I would recommend going for 2 hours if you have more than 2 people in your group. They have where you can preorder food (Pizza from Star Pizza) or you can bring your own outside food. They have a counter top and barstools for every lane. You aren't allowed to bring outside drinks. They have beer, wine, cider available. No hard liquor. That's best for your safety to not be drunk around axes. Closed toe shoes is required and I highly recommend athletic/athleisure attire to be comfortable and free to move. read more

This is my third time axe throwing, but my first time here. The first two times were at a different place in the city. I will say I prefer this place! We reserved for a group of 8 on a Sunday. Other than a local league for serious axe throwers on the other side of the place, our group was the only one there. Dan was so helpful getting us checked in and giving us the run down of the place. They have a full bar which was nice. You can bring your own food if you'd like. The space itself is nice - more room than the other place I've been to. There we're also TV's so if you're waiting on your turn and not cheering your friends on, you can glance at the games shown on tv. Overall, i recommend this place. I'd definitely come back next time we feel like axe throwing! read more

I would give them 4.5 stars. The workers are very friendly and helpful. Especially Rider. He was able to give me pointers on my throwing and I hit a bullseye. You can bring your own food but no outside drinks. I got an expresso martini in a can. It was decent due a canned drink. It was $10. They do have some specialty cocktails and you can make some simple mixed drinks. We went on a Sunday so it wasn't packed. We enjoyed our time here. They have music playing. I also liked the small target for our friend's kid. Plentiful parking outside. read more

Ryan was awesome and explained everything we needed to know. Helped me out by allowing me to use his axe. Enjoyed myself and by the end of the season was able to get a bullseye! read more

Great service and very fun for couples or large groups! We didn't get to try the food, but maybe next time!! Would come again!

Staff is super nice. Explain how to do both the knife throwing and the axe toss. Great time.

We had so much fun! The experience was amazing. The employee was very knowledgeable and patient. I will highly recommend this place to anyone! We look forward to going back soon! read more

Zack was an amazing teacher, really helped me get the concept down and help me find a new hobby

We booked BATL for a corporate meeting to kick off the new year. It was so easy to book our date and times and everyone was so accommodating through the whole process. We had a group of 28, were able to bring in food and goodies (just not drinks). They took the time to teach all of us and then held a tournament style competition which we all enjoyed. Also learned how to throw knives. Nick and Becca were the best! They really made sure everyone was taken care of and they were so patient teaching all of us how to throw. Thank you! Will definitely come back. read more

first time visit - had a great time for group outing. big parking lot. offer bar with a charging station if needed. they actually carry cider! plenty of available lanes for axe throwing. read more

I have been here on multiple occasions from random team building activities to happy hour mixers. I love the concept, alcohol and weapons that can hurt/kill you. What an amazing combination. All kidding aside, they do a good job of keeping you safe while having a unique activity instead of just sitting around a bar. They do give you great pointers to help you get better at throwing the axes. At first I could barely get the axes to stick, but just after a few throws, I was able to consistently land it on the board. read more

What a great time. With a group of eleven coworkers, we showed up fifteen minutes before I start time and signed our waivers. Next, we each picked a beverage from the nice selection they provide: two Karbach on tap and one from Legal Draft, along with a small collection of hard liquor and plenty of canned beer and cider, as well as non-alcoholic choices. Time to learn! Two at a time, we stepped up and received throwing instruction. As each of us took a turn, we then shifted to the next two lanes over to practice and then compete amongst ourselves. It was a lot of fun and we all agreed we would like to do it again. read more

This place was so much fun!!!!!!! The staff was really friendly and service was great

We had SO MUCH FUN at BATL Axe Throwing tonight!! We had some friends in town and wanted to do something inside due to the heat. We made a reservation for Sunday evening and had a blast. The person working was so kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. He gave us good advice to tweak our form. I was kind of scared at first and ended up really enjoying it and doing well as we got going! I would 100% come back and would even consider reserving more than an hour next time. I highly recommend! read more

date night! We made a reservation for a Sunday night... we were the only ones there so it felt like we rented the place out to ourselves! So easy to reserve online and very accommodating when it comes to rescheduling your reservation! Fill out the waiver when you get there & you're good to go. The associates there explained to us how throw the axes & it's not as easy as some people make it look! After our 'mini training session, we were given game suggestions & went from there! They do offer adult beverages which were definitely needed to help you relax & enjoy yourself! A great date night activity, team bonding activity, stress reliever, etc. read more

Went there on a Saturday, for the 6 pm time slot with a buddy. On Saturdays after 3 pm, you can make reservations for parties of 6 or more online or phone for a private session. Parties less than 6 can be part of a group of up to 12 person private lesson. Have to check with their reservations line for other days. They also told me Tuesday is the discount night. Their beer and wine situation is decent, but you really shouldn't be here to tie one on. You are throwing axes after all... The food selection was decent, but they said it can take awhile since they are getting it from King's and one other restaurant, which I forgot. Parking is great since it's in the Restaurant Depot shopping center. Lucked out and the place was dead for us. We ended up having a private lesson, our instructor was Ashley. She defintely was good a critiquing what we were doing wrong. We started off as awful axe throwers and rose the bar to mediocre. At the end of the day it was really fun and good stress relief. Am I going to join a league? No. But would I go back? Without a doubt. The negatives: their beer cooler was broken so they are operating out of a cooler. Some of the beers they offer only had one beer in the cooler. The scheduling. Wow it just seems very confined on the timing. The place was empty from 5:45 to 7:30ish and when I called to get reservations they seemed to not have many time slots open that day. read more

Awesome experience! We will definitely be back. We came here with a group of friends to celebrate my birthday, and we all had a great time! Definitely a wide variety of skill levels in our group -- I have no athletic skill whatsoever, but still had a really fun time playing! Carlos was our instructor, and he did an awesome job teaching us throwing techniques and coaching us throughout our tournament. Cost and reservations: If you have a group of more than 5 people, it is $40.99/per person for a 2.5 hour session including lessons, round robin, and a tournament. I am not sure about the exact cost, but I believe there is different pricing for smaller private groups as well as for walk-ins. There is a calendar on their website where you can make reservations. I think this spot is going to become pretty popular, so I'd recommend making a reservation online first if you can! Food and drink: They have a bar that serves wine, beer, cider, and non-alcoholic drinks. The concept is similar to a bowling alley, where they have a sitting area behind the lanes for food and drink, but no food or drink should go past a certain point. As for food, you can order pizzas from Mellow Mushroom or nearby King's Bierhaus, but it may take a little while to get to you. What to wear: You are required to wear closed-toe shoes to play. Beyond that, I'd recommend something loose on the arms, because you need to be able to position the axe above and behind your head to throw it effectively. I also got a little warm throwing, and wished I hadn't worn jeans! Overall we had a really great time and no one was ready to leave when it was over. Fun new activity to try out! Highly recommend. read more

I came here for a team-builder event with my coworkers earlier this month. Our reservation was at 4pm on a Tuesday and there was a group of 16 of us. We were the only group there when we arrived, so it was nice having the place to ourselves. They have a nice beer selection at their bar and we started out by grabbing some drinks. From there, we gathered by our two lanes and started the practice rounds where the trainers taught us how to throw. After we got done with practice, we began the tournament. They started with a round robin style tournament where each of us had 3 random matchups. From there, the top 6 players advanced to a single elimination bracket. I was surprised by how organized they were with the tournament. My team had a great time! read more

We had so much fun! I thought I wouldn't enjoy it but I absolutely loved it and will definitely be coming back. Seth was super sweet and was very patient because at first I couldn't get ish to stick to the board! Lol. But with a little bit more focusing and patience I was a axe throwing master! Lol. J/k. But it's really fun. You should give it a try. The place was nice and clean and the ambiance was cool as well. Good music and good old fashioned fun! read more

Went here for a private event tonight and had a blast. The staff was really helpful because they coached every person during practice. They were able to analyze each person and give pointers based on their throw. We had time to practice and then played a round robin tournament. This ensured everyone threw 2 matches and resulted in 8 finalists in the playoffs. They have a bar with beer and wine. I didn't see any liquor, but they may have it. Everyone had a great time! read more
