    Axe throwing
    Tricia S.

    Fun times for the kids! Spent an hour throwing axes with 4 13-year olds ... no one had done it before but they had so much fun and no one got hurt! It's essentially $25 per person (min 4). The axe guide (forgot what they are called) was patient and explained technique and gave good pointers for the kids to improve. He kept a good pace to let them play 3-4 games and have some time for "free throws" too. This location is nicely located in/next to a brewery and restaurant so we left and went right to lunch next door. Great birthday idea ... Check it out!!

    We had the best Axe coach. He helped us throw different ways, brought out cool specialty axes and really made it fun. I went there on a slow Tuesday night with 3 other friends. Drank great beer, had great food, and really tried to bury the axe. I will definitely come back again.

    This was AXESOME! I was trying to find something fun to do for a friends recent birthday and found this place on Instagram. They immediately wrote me back and were very helpful and assist in making a reservation for us. We arrived at the brewery and were greeted by Beast, an incredibly friendly dude who informed us he was going to lay down some knowledge on axe throwing. After going to an axe throwing place in Los Angeles, I was pleasantly surprised at how thorough and quick Beast gave us a training session and before we knew it, we were throwing axes and having an amazing time! Beast hung with us for 10-15 minutes in the beginning as we threw a few rounds and then we were on our own for the rest of the session. Beast never left the area and continued to pop in to offer advice, positioning, encouragement or a laugh. Overall, I highly recommend for folks looking for something fun to do, either as couples or in a larger group. It's fun, AND the beer at Laurelwood is delicious. While throwing axes, I enjoyed a Kids These Daze Hazy IPA. It was sooooo good, I even bought a pack to take back with me to California. Can't wait to visit Portland again for some axe throwin'!

    We were enjoying dinner with a beer and decided to try this. My partner had seen them down out Feckin and thought it looked fun so we wanted to give it a chance. I thought it was a great addition to the bar, giving patrons something new and different to do. Definitely would be fun for groups. Thor was our instructor and really nice. There was a large group of hearty drinkers wanting to do a competition. Thor gave us instructions and let them practice more. After that we were able to use the single lane without interrupting their game. Not everyone knows time management and we really appreciated not having to wait a long time to get started. My partner was much better at it, but we had a lot of fun. You really have to put your whole body into it. I'd definitely recommend trying this at least once. How many opportunities do you get to safely throw axes? Great idea!

    So much fun! The instructors are awesome too. Incase the hatchet is too heavy ask David for the tomahawk.

    Thor was our host, and he was super friendly, a good instructor, and all around interesting guy! Laurelwood is a nice bar/brewery too, they have service in the axe area (along with tables). It was very chill with three throwing lanes and two types of axes. There are also purse/bag:coat We came on a weekday around 3pm when they open and there was only one other couple of people throwing. It was very fairly priced as well. I definitely recommend it as a very fun activity! You can compete or just practice throw. My boyfriend loved it and had a great time too.

    Did a great job with my group event. Had dinner on the rooftop afterward, food was tasty and service again was great.

    Celtic Axe Throwers is a good fit for this location. Our host was friendly and showed us the basics…read moreas well as some trick shots. If you haven't been Axe throwing before, well, it sounds exactly like what it is. You are given an axe and you throw it at a target made out of wood. They also have one set of sharp shovels that you can throw. I think this is a good place for team building. Get food at the carts then throw an axe. I will knock down a star tho, because of the openness of the place, randos will walk up and interrupt you. If they added some stanchions or something to like block public access, that would be nice.

    We found Celtic Axe Throwers when looking for something new and unique to do. Here's how it went:…read more This location is inside of the large and overly busy "BG's Food Cartel" (giant food cart pod), and parking is huge challenge. There's one main public lot for the entire area, and there are not enough parking spaces. Street parking is distant and limited. The axe-throwing experience itself was OK. it was mostly fun, but nothing I found to be compelling enough to do again, especially considering the price (it's about a dollar a minute, before any tips). While our instructor was great (I'd have not been able to hit even the rough vicinity of the target without his expert instruction, and he took photos for us), the condition of the axes and the targets were very inconsistent. My companion's axe steadily degraded with parts falling off of it as the night went on, and it was only after her axe head was very loose and at risk of falling off of the handle that the instructor finally fetched a different one for her to use. This seems like it would be a good team-building exercise for a work group, or for competitive axe throwers to hone their skills, but as a casual item, to me, it was worth doing once, but probably not again.
