    Throwing it down
    Yochanan H.

    A wonderful gift from my sons. We had a blast, and the axe throwing coach Kevin made it worth it. My sons had done it before, and with their help, and Kevin's knowledge, I quickly caught on how to hold, and throw the axe. Also, it really works the arms and upper back. You can think of it as the new darts, but on a much larger scale. The weight of the axes make it the ultimate upper body workout. Plus, I found out that there is even a National Axe Throwing Competition (NATC); so, it could be the next big Olympic sport. If you haven't tried it yet, you really should, but it can be very addictive, due to things getting competitive with your family and friends.

    This is such a fun concept. I've been three times and I'm terrible at it, but that still doesn't ruin the fun! It's reasonably priced, everyone is always friendly, and it's great stress relief. Lots of good beer selection, too. Great location in the distillery district so you're close to other great locally owned businesses.

    This place is such a great change of pace. Have a stressful day at work? Take it out on some targets! S.O. breakup with you? Throw axes! Celebrating any type of occasion? Have a few drinks and throw some axes! Several of my coworkers and our significant others came during happy hour and three some axes. We all had a great time and were laughing the whole time. They also had a cute little chair that we had a mini photo shoot at. The distillery district is a great area to have a few drinks, throw some axes, and then head across the street for some pizza. Great little area, and battle axes has made another great, unique addition to the group! Can't wait to come back!

    Star coming over the fence

    went Saturday night with a group of 8 people. the axe throwing itself was fun. our pit boss was nice enough. however the safety here is a concern. each pit is divided by a chain link fence. for some reason the venue was too cheap or just irresponsible enough to leave around a foot long gap at the top of the fence. apparently while i was throwing an axe, the people to the left of us threw a throwing star. i'm assuming they threw it very hard because it ricocheted off the wood target area and flew over that gap in the fence, right towards me. fortunately it did not hit me but it very well could have hit me or the people spectating directly behind me. the pit boss picked it up real quick, probably in hopes of hiding it. she down played the situation and got annoyed when a friend got vocal with his concerns. i think the pit boss of the pit next to us was the real issue though. they were obviously allowing those people to throw axes and stars WAY too hard. we kept going on but the incident was on my mind the rest of the night. another employee came up to me and said "i'm glad you're alive" which i found rude coming from an employee. definitely not something you want to hear in that environment. i brought up my concerns w the throwing stars specifically and he said it could have been an axe that flew over just as easily. i highly doubt that. if this venue doesn't take proper precautions (closing that gap in the fence / watching how hard people are throwing) then they should NOT allow throwing stars / cards which are much more liable to bounce and ricochet due to their design. interestingly enough i have a video of the ninja star ricocheting and coming by me. it was the only video my boyfriend took and you can see it clearly fly up and over the fence. i wish i could post it here but i'll take a screenshots and circle it. it's blurry because that thing was moving FAST. bonus mention: they didn't card anyone in my group for alcohol and we're all in our 20s (i'm 22 lmao). obviously they don't follow regulations too closely.

    This place is great. I have never done this before and it was so much fun. The pit masters were awesome. Very patient. Very knowledgeable. The location is great and the sign in process was quick and simple. This is great as a group activity. The entire staff was friendly and it was a nice atmosphere. Definitely would do this again.

    Soft opening at Battle Axes. Grand Opening is 11/1/18.

    Full disclosure... I attended the soft opening. So, I can't comment on the booking process and the pricing. The grand opening is 11/1/18 and man, is it a sharp idea to bring this fun to Lexington. I've seen these axes throwing places in other cities and I'd heard about how fun they are, but I have to admit that I was skeptical had I would find it fun. Ok, I was scared. I once had an accident at a shooting range and vowed to never do anything that adventurous again. It's located in the Distillery District, in the building/former rick house with the big mural. Most people have heard that the parking in the Distillery District is horrible. NOT here. They have their own, new parking lot, right in front of the mural. The entrance is in the midst of the mural... that was surprising. Back to the game. I thought it would be like darts, but I actually felt entertained, like bowling... maybe that's because I don't enjoy darts. Maybe it's because I never threw with a group. Who knows, but axes throwing is an absolute blast. This is definitely a place that makes me proud to be a Lexingtonian. We made it Lexington!

    Finished my team building event with coworkers here and it was a great finish to the end of the day. Arrived around 2 and received an in brief from our pit boss. From there we went to throwing axes. Everyone had a blast and enjoyed the afternoon. We had a group of 11 and they allowed us to all jump in and take turns. Wasn't the best use of the hour on our part but it was the best way we could all have fun together. Each pit has three lanes and to get the most for your money I'd recommend a group of three. You can set up with reservations or do walk-ins. There is only one walk-in pit and if someone is there throwing before you you'll have to wait your turn. Staff 4* Cleanliness 5* Ambiance 4* Fun 5*

    This is really fun and something totally unexpected for me to do. I enjoyed throwing the axe and practicing my swing. The instructor was really helping full and informative. It was not as complicated as I would have thought. The space is a large warehouse space with at least 9 double throwing areas. It took one throw to get the feel of how to throw the axe.

    Had a super great time for a birthday party for my 41 year old partner. Really great to something new and fun! One thing that I would suggest in the future is if they are going to serve cans is to please recycle ! Kate was a great pit boss! Look forward to returning! *** note, if you have a party going as we did go ahead and make the reservation for everyone it's a little confusing for folkx to have to join . Luckily, Tiffany was great on the phones with helping me circumnavigate this. If you don't like noisey places this is probably not the place for you, although once you get "into it" you do get into it! And it's fun! Probably would not recommend for children who are sensitive to bright lights and loud noises .

    Enjoyed the evening, We was there on a Tuesday & place was packed. I have been to the one in Louisville, There both similar. The great thing Battle has is multiple types of hatches to try. Not everyone can throw the same kind consistently. They can accommodate a large amount of people & plenty of parking right now. The only draw back I see is acoustics are awful. It's inside a concrete bunker. Carrying on a conversation is almost impossible.

    This place is fun

    this absolute worse bartender on the face of the earth. The guy ignores you the entire time when…read moreyou trying to order a drink. leaves the bar area for 15-20 mins at a time. Waited 30 mins to get a drink and then just left. Please hire this guy and find someone who wants to work.

    Great Day Date place for families, team building, hanging out, or having a league!…read more The last time I visited, I brought along a group of 9. We had the day passes for karts and axe throwing. We did pay for some additional VR gaming - which is something you should really do! This was an add on per person. The facility has self check in and group videos to watch for pre race requirements. Staff is amazing and so incredibly helpful Helpful suggestions: Closed toe shoes are required Bring a hair tie for long hair - no clips if racing as the helmet won't fit Bring a lock for the lockers or rent one there Be prepared to wait a few minutes if/when you order from the bar Bar is limited but has enough for beers on tap, cocktails, and soda drinks plus apps Note: the race track is warm during hot days. There are track side and indoor/climate controlled viewing areas There is a podium for photo taking!
