Great Atmosphere! The bar tenders were great and attentive. Perfect date night for hubby abs I!

Arrived 45 minutes before the reserved time and the lanes were already reserved for us. Jared explained how to throw the axes safely, rules and how to keep score. Business and restrooms were clean. Fun first time. read more

Booked this place for a chill bachelor party activity. Did not disappoint. We had a blast! The staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The beer prices were reasonable and the price per hour was not bad at all. Planning on doing a date night here soon. Great experience and i definitely recommend read more

Location was great, employees were very helpful in training throughout our event and loved the variety of drinks available. We where able to take in our own charcuterie board for snacking, so that was great. Music choice was spot on. It's something everyone should try, even once because you will want to go back read more

Went for the first time for a girl's night out. It was a blast. We got a coach,Dean, and he was full of energy and made us feel comfortable (&safe). He cheered, used an announcer voice, and was just awesome. I can't wait to go again. Great idea for a work function too. I was intimidated but once I threw the first axe....I didn't wanna stop. I even got 2 bullseyes in 8 throws. Minimum age is 14 so I am going to bring my son and his friends soon. read more

I came here for my birthday with a few friends and I would definitely recommend this place. Everyone was very nice and attentive upon arrival. Hailey did an amazing job instructing us on how to play. Definitely recommend!! read more

I recently co-hosted a corporate event at this place. It was a huge hit. The staff was great, friendly and knowledgeable. They could use a larger liquor selection and more beers on tap, but overall a great experience. They give you plenty of instruction and practice. The only drawback to having a corproate event there is if you want to do a presentation before the axe throwing fun, make sure to schedule that portion to start a 4pm, before the public and other groups show up at 5pm. The sound of axes hitting wood combined with cheering and chatter can be overwhelming. This is small gripe and not really the fault of BATL. I would definitely do another corporate event at this place. If you're looking to do something "new" for a corporate event that's affordable and conveniently located for most in Houston, give this place a try. read more

Is there a 6 star option??? Imagine you're playing darts. Now imagine the dart board is 5 foot X 5 foot wide. Now imagine the darts are actually hatchet axes. Now you have BATL! We went last night with a group of 10 people all of whom, including myself, have never done this before. Most of us don't even own an axe let alone know how to accurately throw one. I set it up to be a surprise birthday party for my wife's birthday. This was the most fun we've had I a long time! From the beginning making reservations was easy. They were very communicative throughout the days to come about the safety concerns they have (closed to shoes, min age to throw, etc.). The whole process was lined out clearly. And let's be honest. We're throwing axes... it better be clear. Our instructor (I'm sorry I cant remember her name) was excellent. She was obviously an avid axe thrower. We made her throw an axe to prove it! She helped every one of us with as much individual attention as we needed until we felt comfortable enough to start the games. We played a round robin style tournament and surprise surprise, my wife the birthday girl, won the whole tournament! No, we didn't let her win, she got this all on her own. I lost all my matches . The facility was clean, the bar had simple but good drinks. The staff was incredibly friendly. The restrooms were clean. We had a ton of fun. Thank you Batl, we will be back! read more

We came here for our team's end of the year party and we had a great time! The staff was friendly and spent the time to help us to learn how to throw. We definitely plan on coming back! read more

Unique concept which I did not know existed in Houston this is more like top golf but for axe throwing What here for a friends birthday and towards the end we had a competition which was judged in similar fashion to a top golf game Drinks were reasonably priced we were allowed to bring in outside food maybe they do that for certain parties Fun atmosphere worth a try read more

Had a double date here and it was insanely fun! Who doesn't want to go axe crazy?! Seriously can't wait to go back. And our instructor was an axe goddess - she crushed it all night. read more

Batl Axe Throwing - Such axe-holes ! - Axe Throwing Near Me - Houston, Texas

Sad that the website says "it's easy" to book but wen you call the attendant says they're closed (even tho Yelp says it's "open".. then he says "oh no that's only for private parties".. and then tells me I have to book 3 days in advance to go during the day.. ugh.. read more

I brought my boyfriend here for his birthday. We had a day full of activities and ended the day here. Surprisingly the place was empty since had the last hour of being open and he thought o rented the venue for just us. It worked out perfectly. The staff made sure to not ignore us and even joined in the fun with us. read more

This was such an amazing event. My first time at BATL. My first time throwing an axe. I'm not quite ready for the zombie apocalypse yet, but they sure did help start me in the right direction. The set up was simple and to the point, we're here to throw axes and hit the bullseye! I attended BATL as a yelp elite event, but I definitely see this as a place me and my friends will come back to and give it another go, hopefully next time I'll be on my A game, because this time I was just barely able to get my axe to stick to the target. Lol The staff was very helpful and friendly, also very encouraging even though I threw dud after dud. The coaching skills of some of the trainers could win championships in other sports, eventually I was able to get a few good shots in a row as I was urged to scoot closer and closer to the targets. Most importantly, I had lots of fun. This was a great way to meet other elites in the city, and also take some of the edge off from the real world and chunk and axe or 10 at a few 2x4 and not get in trouble afterwards. The crowd cheers usually whether you make the bullseye or miss completely, so you always feel like you're winning. I had a great time, and met some really cool people, I'd definitely recommend this place for a night of healthy competition to get some adrenaline pumping! read more

Came here for a private event and had so much fun! The staff - Ashley and Patrick - were both really helpful and gave great pointers during our axe throwing tournament. We also had time to practice between rounds too, which was a lot of fun. This place is great for events or even for small groups! Lots of parking too, which is always a plus. read more

Awesome experience Dean was great!! Taught us safety and technique. Nice place, bar, parking, clean bathrooms read more

Such a great teambuild! Paige our instructor was awesome! Throwing axes is definitely harder than it looks. I definitely will be back. read more

This is the second group event I have booked at Batl and it is always a hit! Everyone had a fantastic time. The staff is very nice and informative. I would highly suggest this for your next team building event. read more

Paige is awesome! She made everything so fun. Our team were all novices, but felt comfortable quickly. Recommend for team building!

When you're bored and it's hot outside, BATL is a great place to go. You'll learn to throw and axe and can drink cold beer while you're at it. I know, alcohol and axe throwing don't seem compatible, but they are - thanks to how well the throwing area is set up. You'll be surprised at how much cardio you'll get in! read more

An amazing place for a date night! Loved the short introduction and freedom to play as we pleased. We will definitely be returning!

This place was a blast; I'm so glad my group of friends tried it out. It doesn't really require much athletic ability, almost anyone could do it. It wasn't crowded (on a Saturday night) which was nice. The drinks are $5 and the staff were friendly and added to the fun. I docked one star only because it's pricey. Between a few drinks and the game, my husband and I spent a good $100, so it's more of a special occasion activity than a regular date night spot. read more

It was my first time here and i had a great experience. Paige and Patrick were the best bartenders, they were amazing , no complaints! I would suggest a variations of games within the axe throwing tournaments. read more

My boyfriend and I had a great time here! The instructor, Nick (I believe), was very helpful teaching us proper techniques and trick shots. He helped us improve while still giving us space to enjoy ourselves. Very clean facility and a nice drink selection at their bar! read more

Great freakin time. I think the most surprising thing about our experience was how much better the women in our group naturally were. By the end the men, caught up, but it was very u expected . I mention this because I think most women may be reluctant to try axe throwing . But yeah, professional staff, nice facility , decent beer. Would definitely go back read more

So much fun, we went this past weekend for my best friends bachelorette party and we had a BLAST! Our instructor JP was awesome and super helpful. read more

My husband and I had a 12 hour layover in Houston. This was our big outing before heading back home to brazil. I'm addicted. The place looked abandoned from the outside but inside is decorated with a downtown modern vibe. The place was filled with of seasoned competitors, a company bonding event and us, the amateurs. Ashley did a great job walking us through our instructions. Even after performing a crazy ass tournament of her own, she managed to stay energetic and engaging. We learned how to throw a pick ax, fireman's ax and tried our hand in a trick ax method. I highly recommend this sport and this location there is a classy bar and plenty of space to sit and watch others. It was an unforgettable night. Cheers to you, Ashley! Your boss owes you one read more

Amazing place! Please come by and ask for Paige or Carlos they are great people to help you train and compete against your friends. Clean, a bar, and many lanes to play! read more

Great experience! Went here with my wife and another couple after dinner. We got there around 9:30 and had the place to ourselves. I forgot the name of the guy that helped us, but he was awesome - he took us step by step through the entire process and got us all throwing on target within 20min. We took it from there, he kept score and gave us throwing tips the entire time - had an absolute blast. Good beer on tap! read more

Great place! I made a reservation for 12+ friends for my fiancé's birthday. Everyone there was super friendly and helpful. Everything was organized and ready to go as soon as we walked in. Paige helped our group the entire time, giving everyone spot on instruction. We all left having a great time, highly recommend. Go check them out! read more

We came for a 12:00 appointment and were not disappointed. The coach was extremely helpful and stayed with us the entire time. She even facilitated our "tournament"- although she was clearly biased towards my wife, lol (I think she was just cheering for the person with the lower score)! It was an awesome experience and we both enjoyed ourselves very much. The bar tender was equally attentive, talking to me about the music selection and asking what I would like to hear! It had a wonderful atmosphere and the employees made us feel like we were really in someone's backyard hanging out and having a great time. Definitely recommend to bring anyone that has ever thought throwing an axe or hatchet would be a neat experience! read more

This place is awesome. Nick and Dean are great and if you see a particular giant named Rob, he's a great group coach and is one of WATL's top 12% of competitors. So glad to have another axe growing company here in Houston. BATL's located in a great spot in the Heights as well so once you're done throwing you can grab some delicious food in the area. 15/10 I would hug again read more

Great place! A lot of fun, and they are very concerned with stopping the spread of the virus. Masks, social distancing, hand sanitizer, etc. Nick was an excellent coach. Overall, this place is definitely worth visiting. read more

Wasn't sure what to expect from my first axe throwing experience, but sure glad it was at BATL!! Dean was our guy and he was incredibly patient (with me), super informative, but also really laid back. Would recommend anyone who is nervous about axe throwing but wants to try it to go to BATL and ask for Dean! read more

SCAM! This place is a complete scam if you're wanting to actually book a "premium event" per their website. We paid $350 for a premium event of 8 people. Upon arrival no one knew what was going on. An hour had passed before we actually got started, and the manager claimed he gave us an hour free. (Including moving part of our group to a different party on accident) We ended up having to share lanes with another group (even though the website says that only applies for groups 2-5). For $41 a person, you only get to throw an ax 3 times. The rest of the time is spent watching strangers in your lane. Additionally, on the website it says you will have a waiter and can order food. False. You have to preorder 24hrs in advance. There is no food on site. Otherwise you have to have a "plating fee" if you order from outside. When I complained to the manager he paid for a drink and told me to "talk to the Canadians". Awful experience for $350. I will be calling "the Canadians" in the morning. DO NOT GO HERE, there are many other places much better for your event. Instructor was friendly. Manager was rude and arrogant. read more

We had a great time! Seth helped us out showed us the ropes and ran our tournament. He was great! He even showed us some great trick shots with our extra time. I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

We had a company team building event at BATL for about 35 of us and we had a great time. The staff (Dean, Allison, Seth and Ryan) handled this large group very professionally. The care given to instruct us on the techniques and the safety matters resulted in a very beneficial event. The organization of the competition tournament went off very smoothly and the use of large monitors to display the scoring was excellent. Thanks to all of the professionals at BATL for a glimpse into the world of competitive axe throwing. read more

So much fun! Paige was amazing and patiently gave us helpful instruction throughout the session. If you want a fun and unique night out, definitely give axe throwing a try! read more
