By the end of our hour nothing was sticking. -Ambiance wasn't bad but not all that inviting or cool. -Not the most obvious to find from the road. Cons: -I've done axe throwing elsewhere and received a lot more instruction than I did here. At this place they spent 1-2 minutes showing us techniques and then never came back to help us improve.

Best time ever! LISTEN TO STAFF this doesn't come right away, but if you listen to them they get you sticking it and feeling great! Hell had me try 7 different axes before I found the one I was comfortable with. Got to play a round before I left against the girl who showed me how to and cant wait to go back, already told everyone I know and then some! SO RUN don't walk to Relaxe its awesome!

Ya know, axe throwing is a little like indoor skydiving. You know about it, hear about it, maybe…read moreeven read about it. But only because you assume, at some point in your life, you may end up doing at least one of these things by accident, if not intentionally. And typically, with a friend. So, when my wife's bestie suggested the idea of tossing axes at splintered wood to purge out pent up aggression, I thought to myself, "Self, this could be therapeutic and fun. Let's do this!" As you can imagine, throwing axes is nothing like throwing water balloons. Ergo, you must sign a waiver prior to partaking in said lumberjack competition. At any rate, we booked our lane ahead of time, which I *think* is mandatory anyway. Like, you can't exactly just walk in and take a lane. The site seems to encourage its visitors to book a reservation first. Just my assumption though. Anyways, after signing away our rights to sue the place in the event one of us pulls an Anakin Skywalker and lops off a limb, we proceed to the throw house's location. I'd like to take this moment to mention how tucked away this place is. Keep in mind, I'm the first and only person to review this place at the time of writing this. The fact that this place didn't exist on Yelp before I showed up blows my mind. But I have two theories on this.. 1.) The place is too new. 2.) Not enough people know about it for whatever reason. Therefore, nobody bothered to add them to Yelp till now. This is one of those "blink and you'll miss 'em" locations, too. So, ya ain't finding this one by happenstance whilst going for a casual drive. When we walk in, it takes a while to get a hostess. But we're eventually confirmed via our reservation and given a lane. Which was defective. So, we proceeded to the next lane over. This one was better. We got a thorough demonstration and crash course on axe throwing by our... "Axepert" (yes, that's what they call themselves). And honestly, I gotta say...axe throwing isn't as difficult as you might think. Only pro tip I could give is...watch a YouTube video ahead of time and you'll learn a bit about holding techniques. The main thing is not to grip it tight like a baseball bat. It should be a little loose, but not TOO loose of a grip. But don't quote me on this; I'm not an Axepert. OMG...I can't believe I just said that (－‸). Moving on.. The bar (if you can even call it that) is pretty basic. Beers, wines, and a few foo-foo drinks, I think. However, the food...was pretty pathetic. Bland chicken tenders with breading so thick, it tasted like those frozen tenders you get at the grocery store. The seasoned curly fries were...okay. Not quite as seasoned as I'd have imagined, but whatevs. I guess the ladies loved the stuffed poppers, so....winning? ¯\_( )_/¯ It's bar food, yeah. But like, it shouldn't suck? 3 out of 10, stick with the drinks and the axes. And now, we have to talk about the prices. Now, I've never been axe throwing before, so I have no basis for comparison yet. But even I know that something here is f**ky in the way the prices are presented. If you book a reservation ahead of time via the website, you still won't see the prices until you click "Book Now". Note that the prices shown are per person, not group. Also, it varies based on the size of your group. Thing is, you would never know any of this if you just walked in or called in without using the website. It's....dubious, to say the least. So, our entire bill ended up being over $150 for 4 people. And that was only for 1 hour. I dunno how much axe throwing goes for at other establishments, but....arrive with a full wallet. That's all I'm sayin'. As far as first impressions go, the activity itself was surprisingly invigorating. The place itself is decent enough. Though, I can't help feeling like there are most likely better ones out there. So, I'm holding out for one of those. For now, Axel's Throw House receives 3 axes hurling through the air dead on target out of 5.

I hadn't, but it was…read more something I had been wanting to try, so after a quick search this spot came up and I booked a time slot online. When we arrived, we were greeted right away and directed to our station. There was no waiting around, which I loved. I thought it would be more of a "throw whenever you want" situation, but we actually had an instructor with us the whole time, which ended up being a good thing since I was a complete beginner. Our instructor, Eian (hope I'm spelling that right), was great, funny, super helpful, very engaging, and patient. He explained everything clearly and gave tips that actually made us feel confident throwing despite our many misses haha. We played a game toward the end of our session and somehow I won which was surprising considering I had no idea what I was doing, still don't! After axe throwing, we went to the bar. It wasn't busy at the time, but it did take a bit for the bartender to acknowledge us. Once we ordered, we walked around to check the place out while we waited for our food. It's definitely more than just axe throwing. There are pool tables, an area with board games, cornhole, darts. It was overall just a fun, social vibe. As it got busier, our food came out but we didn't get plates at first. Then plates came, but no utensils. We waited a while and asked the bartender if she had any, who told us to track down the server ourselves (that was [not] fun). Eventually we got everything we needed. The food is more of a shareable style, so we ordered a few items and honestly, everything was really good. Despite the small service hiccups at the bar, overall it was a fun experience and I'd definitely go back, especially for axe throwing and the atmosphere.
