The dartboards are brand new and in excellent condition. The bar is situated at the back of the axe throwing area, along with the kitchen, although it wasn't open during my visit.

He also brought over some additional axes that he thought would be a better fit for me. I was so impressed by his willingness to help. Price is good, better than most. I like that staff isn't in the cage with you like at some other places. I find that a distraction when they are. Boards were a bit beat up when we got there at 8:20 but I was the problem, not the boards lol. The facility was clean. It has a small bar with canned alcoholic beverages like most axe throwing facilities.

Their location is a short drive off of I-95 and Route 8, so it was the perfect meeting place. Nate was our Axe Master and he was great! He was a great teacher and despite it being busy toward the end of our visit, he always came around to check in with us. The venue is nice and spacious, each throwing section has two targets and a dedicated table, so we had plenty of space to comfortably enjoy our two-hour slot. It's BYOB & BYOF, so you can bring everything you like! To top it all off, they had a great playlist to jam out to.

They offered bottle openers, cups, and ice which we used. They also provided instruction and watched as we tried it out and gave pointers where needed. They also came by several times during our time to ask if we needed anything. They also sprayed the boards with "magic juice" which we were sure would improve our scores. We astigmatism he could spray us to give us some magic. There was some trepidation among the 10 I mean my god we are throwing axes!!!! Eventually we all got the hang of it and everyone made great shots. We had so much fun we stayed an extra hour. Thanks Blue Ox for a great night!

My friend and I went on a Friday night at around 7:30 PM and the wait was not long at all. There is a full bar and even live music which was a pleasant surprise to see! It a great hang out spot even if you opt out of throwing axes. Once you are assigned a lane an instructor walks you over and goes over safety rules as well as how to properly throw the axe and tally points. After some tries by myself, they realized I was struggling and offered a personalized lesson. They were patient with me and gave me many different strategies to use to perfect my throw. While embarrassed at how bad I truly was, it was really comforting that they took the time to teach me without judgement. By the end of it, I have to say I was fairly confident and was landing it on the board almost every time, which made my experience a lot more enjoyable (even getting a bullseye might I add). Great for a first date, a group hangout, or family activity!

They expanded and did an amazing job on the new bar and patio. We will be back to hang out here soon! The 4 of us reserved an hour for throwing. The woman checking us in was very nice and even though we had been there before, was kind enough to give us a quick refresher. I have to mention the music being played was spot on! We all enjoyed this. Drinks are not expensive and bar tender was friendly. We did not try any food as we were heading out someplace to eat. we will be back and this time not wait so long!

After that we went over to the bow area, got trained up and had fun finishing up our time there. The place was clean, kind of lounge style. Seating and tables around. There is a bar with good drinks. This would be a great activity for family or a relaxed date night. Highly recommend this place.

Similar vibes to bowling with everyone taking turns trying to score. If you dont want to play with just the regular bullseye the whole time, they have other mini games such as Connect-4, or Tic Tac Toe. The employee assisting our lanes was Adam. He was very fun, super nice and helpful! They have a bar as well. We will definitely be back.

It was quiet when we went and there was only one other group there at the time. I thought it was…read moreweird that they put us right next to the other group and didn't space us out a bit. We chose to do archery instead of axe throwing and had a really good time. The lane host was knowledgeable, encouraging and friendly. There were several games to choose from and a good time was had by all. The only negative i see is is the pricing. It is the same price per person whether you have 2 people it the lane or 4...At that rate, it would make sense to book two lanes with 2 people in each to maximize the time playing vs. waiting.

Ownership has switched hands, and I believe I had a group on both times I went, if you're looking to save a few bucks. My only complaint (at all) would be that it was a little bit warmer than I would've liked, especially once you're moving around and actually doing any sort of activity. Now that that's over, let's talk about the good parts! The axe throwing is super fun, and we all enjoyed it after learning about the rules and safety tips then learning how to hold the axe correctly and throw it, and we continued to get pointers and help as needed if we were struggling throughout our allotted time. All of the stuff we encountered were friendly and personable. One great thing that we learned is a newer offering is that the pool tables, darts, and cornhole is now free! As in, pop in and buy a beer or a hard seltzer for a drink after a rough workday and relax and unwind with free activities in a clean indoor space! We will definitely be returning to take advantage because while I LOVE axe throwing, it could get expensive to do every week. The pizza place in there is different than it was the first time we went. And, it was actually not open when we went at 1 PM on a Saturday, which was fine for us because we had already eaten and had dinner plans later so we were not there for food. Our understanding is that it's a one-man show so there may only be pizza/the restaurant open during busy hours, as opposed to every time Montana Nights is open. Something to keep in mind if you're thinking about eating while visiting.

"Is there nothing I can say, nothing I can do To change your…read moremind? I'm so in love with you I'll be your saviour, steadfast and true I'll come to your emotional rescue" (Jagger and Richards) A professional organization I belong to was scheduled to hold an axe throwing party/charity fundraiser at Pine & Iron in Hartford last night. But two and a half days ago, they contacted us to cancel because they had closed their doors for good. We didn't want to cancel the event, so what were we to do? Well, Montana Nights came to our rescue and 20 of us had a blast. Our Guardian Angel was manager Carolyn, who worked in a slot for our group, arranged an instructor, pizza and sandwiches from Square Peg, and drink tickets from their bar (beer and axes, what could go wrong?). Anyway, we had a freaking blast at Montana Nights. Our instructor Kyle was great. He gave us a safety talk, demonstrated one hand and two hand throwing techniques, and broke us into two teams for some axe flinging fun. We threw at a conventional bulls eye target, an unconventional bulls eye target where the center moved around, and Tic Tac Toe and Connect Four variations. I threw ten axes in warm ups, and then 20 axes in two ten-frame 4-person team contests. I stuck one out of ten in the warm ups, just one in Game #1, but improved significantly by sticking 4 in the second game. I even had a center Bulls Eye!! By the way, the food from Square Peg was great - lots of different pizzas, grinders cut into fours, and a big salad. Thank you Carolyn and Kyle for saving our event. It was a charity collection event where our members donated new clothing, toys, and household supplies for Madonna House in Norwich, CT. I would love to see Yelp incorporate more of some sort of charity collections at our events. Sort of a "Pay It Forward" philosophy. Everyone can afford to bring a few cans of soup or tuna to donate to a group that needs them.
