    Went yesterday for my son's birthday, had a blast. Tim the axe master was amazing and helpful. Great place

    Besties day at Bury the Hatchet was a success! We purchased a deal through Groupon for one hour of play. Foxxe was our Axe Master and he was great. He explained the rules thoroughly from start to finish with great detail and supplied us with all the tips and tricks to have a successful day. I was worried at first thinking it'd be a waste because there was no way I'd be successful in making any shots but I was wrong. We made lots of shots and half of us even hit the bullseye! By the time we got going and split into teams the competition got heated and we were thinking we were axe masters. We wanted another hour. LOL It's BYO food and beverage so we brought in a few beers. There were beverages there (soft drinks) I believe for purchase. Music was on point. My type of tunes. An array of hard rock and metal. What can go wrong getting pumped on metal music and throwing axes? Ha! You have a choice between throwing an axe or a tomahawk. Use whichever you prefer. I stuck with the tomahawk as it was lighter than the axe and I felt more in control. You must be wearing closed shoes. No open toes! Walk ins are welcome but it's always best to reserve ahead. They have a giant connect 4! Next time we are buying 2 hours. :)

    Good times with great friends and neighbors!

    Such an awesome time! Two hours is worth it, especially if you have 4 or more people. So many fun game options.

    Checkin was great, check in person was training a new employee, super friendly and assisted us while explaining what he was doing, then a nice young lady gave us some training and off we went, great job team!!!

    Our Axe Master, Steve!

    I was here to celebrate my friend's birthday here last Saturday, and we had an absolute blast! I've gone axe throwing 3x before coming to this location, but I've never had the opportunity to learn trick shots like I did here with Steve. He was so knowledgeable and awesome at the sport, and he was a fantastic teacher and made it fun for all 6 of us. The highlights of my night were learning trick shots and playing the axe throwing Jenga game! Highly recommend this location and our axe master, Steve!

    At first I was hesitate to try it because I didn't really see how throwing an axe could be fun. But boy I was wrong. Even without alcohol consumption, I truly had a blast. Our instructor, Kevin, was super helpful and friendly where he gave great pointers as it was my first time. I finally got a hang of it and got pretty decent after awhile. We had basically played every game they had provided on a packet along with instructions. The vibes were great and the staff was super dope. But two thumbs up for Kevin and his lessons! I will be back to Bury the Hatchet.

    I would first like to say this was my first ever Yelp Elite event and I really enjoyed it! Thank you Moe's for catering this event, they always serve you fresh and delicious foods. I also want to say a big thanks to our new CM Katarina as she continues to do an excellent job in her new role. I had never gone axe throwing so I didn't really know what to expect. All I know that Yelp events are always entertaining. The owner and staff of Bury the Hatchet were very friendly and very helpful in teaching us how to safely throw axes and to prevent any injuries. I honestly think this place will do very good, its very spacious and you can bring own food and drinks. Bury the Hatchet is a great place to visit for an adventurous date night or a fun night out with friends. The staff make it very interesting and I think you will leave wanting to do it all over again. So I would definitely recommend giving them a try, throw the axe and release the frustration after a stressful week or just come have some fun. I loved it, you forgot about all your worries and just had fun focusing on trying to hit the bullseye! So lets check it out and you might be surprised to see how great you are at throwing the axe!!!

    It was a one man show while we were there but Matt took the time to instruct both groups; answer phones; and even repair targets. Matt even instructed me enough that I actually was able to hit the bulls eye. Definitely recommend coming here to enjoy a covid free activity.

    What an amazing experience! It was so much fun. Kevin, our axe master, was so awesome! Friendly, fun and made our experience so much more enjoyable. We had a group of 22 and everyone was involved and participated. Definitely play the games when you are there it makes the time well spent. Can't wait to go back!

    7pm reservations on a Saturday for a couples night out. Our alley was ready for us and we had absolutely no issues upon arriving. Our axe master Garrett was fun and helpful. He even taught the guys a trick that almost had them win our first game. Atmosphere was chill and fun. Clean bathrooms. We saw people ordering food and having it delivered. We brought our own beer without a problem. Makes a for a great night out with friends or a for party. Will come back again soon!

    Bullseye with little practice.

    Foxy and Chris were AMAZING. Such a fun Sunday date idea! Got a Groupon but would pay full price. So organized, felt safe (socially distanced). Highly recommend for a simple for price group date. Foxy even showed us some trick throws. Loved it and I'm brining more people with us next time. Bonus- byob and clean bathrooms.

    Super fun night out. Axe Master Kevin was very helpful and friendly. Got a deal through Groupon and would def visit again

    Kevin, our Axe Master, was amazing!  Made the experience so fun!

    My partner, my teenager, and I visited today for go-karting and axe throwing. The axe throwing was…read moreamazing, but the go-karting was a very different experience. We did two races my teenager could participate in, plus one pro race. In every race, multiple karts stopped partway through, and each time one of us was involved. I understand that issues can happen, but there was absolutely no communication from staff about what was happening or why. The worst moment was watching my child's kart stop on a hill and slide backward down the incline. The same thing had happened to me earlier, but seeing it happen to my child was far more upsetting. It felt unsafe and genuinely scary. On top of that, the whole experience caused me major anxiety. I understand the need for safety, but the silence from staff during repeated stoppages made everything worse. It felt like being stuck in a vacuum with no information, and that lack of communication added so much unnecessary stress. The axe throwing was great, but the go-karting experience left me very uncomfortable because of the safety concerns and poor communication.

The place was packed, which made sense for a Saturday evening, and the energy was great. We had an hour of allotted time and received dedicated food and drink service throughout, which really elevated the experience. I'd definitely go back and try another one of their entertainment activities.

We picked a location that was the midpoint between my home in Connecticut and my parents' home in New York City. We couldn't have chosen a better place than Banana Cabana! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by a staff member (I wish I had caught her name) who greeted us with a big smile. She gave an excellent demonstration on how to properly throw an axe, let us practice a few rounds, and provided helpful tips on positioning our arms and legs for the best results. The venue had a great drink menu with plenty of options, including non-alcoholic beer. We also loved the variety of games available Battleship was a favorite! Another fun touch was the TouchTunes music system, where we could purchase credits and play our favorite songs. We definitely took advantage of that! Overall, we had an amazing time and will 100% be returning if we're ever in the area again.

We drove a long distance to we went in to learn to throw some Axes. They seemed a bit short staff but in good spirits I saw a tiki bar and they had scannable QR codes on the tables but they bar and food options where closed as well so missed opportunity there. Axe throwing definitely will make you thirsty we did the 1 Hr option and would've signed up for more if there was a food and beverage option there. Only thing I didn't like is you pay for an hour but the staff started the timer before hand so we didn't get an actual hour they started the timer and then explained the rules to us and showed us how to throw it would make sense to do the tutorial and then start the timer once we are ready or once they are done explaining. All in all it was a fun experience with our group of friends definitely fun to do.
