We checked out the darts area at Corky's using the Get Out pass. I don't think I would pay $20 per person to play, but we sure had a lot of fun playing almost for free. We teamed up and played the trivia game. You had six darts to hit targets for different points then get a multiplier if you get the trivia question correct. If you get it wrong, you lose all your points. You can keep your points and say no answer. The questions were pretty good but they might not have lots of questions stored because we had some repeats. They have arcades with old-school games. They also offer axe throwing and something else. It seems like a cool place to hang out on the weekends. read more

What started as us just trying to kill some time before a birthday party and turned into such a great experience! This was our first time visiting Corky's, and from the moment we walked in, the hostess made us feel so welcome. Our two boys spent about 30 minutes playing the arcade games and had an absolute blast, which made the visit even more enjoyable for us. The bartender was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. My family of 4 will definitely be back! Thank you for the warm hospitality and for making our first visit such a memorable one. read more

This place was a blast! Axe throwing and games is hard to pass up. The staff were excellent we had so much fun definitely returning next time we are in Dallas! read more

From the moment I booked an escape room here, I have been continually impressed with the customer service. They were flexible, kind, easy-going, and so friendly. The environment here is so fun - sports bar meets hang out. Thursday night is game night and they have board games you can play in a nice seating area. Arcade game cards are crazy inexpensive. If you're looking for a place to have a fun evening, come to Corky's! read more

Overall just a horrible experience. Paid for the escape room, and found out the monitors weren't even working and still charged full price for the event. read more

Had a company team building event at Corky's. I got hit in the face with a baseball while in the golf simulator. YES - A BASEBALL! THE SIMULATORS ARE NOT SAFE. With kids swinging bats and throwing lacrosse balls with a 3 foot divider separating you from disaster- bring a helmet and maybe some football pads if you're willing to risk it.. Finally- They would not let us take the leftover food home. They insisted they had to throw it all away. Oh, and their arcade was not working and the Manager is rude and very unhelpful. The axe throwing is fun and the instructor/monitor was great hence the second star. read more

Definitely a fun spot. It's got a pub- bar like atmosphere but really could be family friendly for older kids. I came for a small work event. The catering was so so, they brought out salad, no dressing until we asked...the rest of the food strips u touched for the most part. The games though! That's why you come here....we had a ton of fun with the different dart games. My favorite being the tic tac toe one. There are tons of options to choose from and you can choose how many darts per round and all. The drinks were okay. Not strong at all (even asking for a double). I'd be back for an afternoon inside to have some fun with a group. read more

We went here for my birthday yesterday and we had a blast. The instructor was really patient with us and helped out a lot. I love all the different games you can play with axe throwing. The food was good for a gaming place. The queso was spot on. We will definitely go back. We wanna do the escape room too. read more

Super fun time! We went on a Sunday so it wasn't super busy (plus it was a holiday). All staff were super friendly and helpful. Would love to come again! read more

Great experience! Easy booking process, savings when you book two activities. We did axe throwing and the instructors were great. We were a party of 4 and it was the first time for all of us, however instructors walk you thru the process and stay with you to help you out during the game. We also booked the escape room but one of our teammates got claustrophobic and the manager was able to accommodate and switch the escape room for Krazy Darts experience and it was FUN!!! Also big thanks to the manager for understanding. Food is easy to order and tastes good, cocktails were great as well! Overall very fun experience read more

Axe throwing while enjoying beer or a cocktail....what could possibly go wrong go wrong? Actually nothing...they are very safety conscious. Fun place...lots of games and food was good. And the beer was awesome cold! read more

Came here with my oldest for a bit of competition. Axe throwing challenge and the old man had to show the young buck that although old I still have got it. I beat my sone all games we played. But honestly it really did not matter... we had a blast! It was so much fun!! Great big facilities with lots of lanes. They serve food and drink and they even had NA beer. My sine and i threw axes for a while and then went into their old stand up video games... I mean like classics, centipede, pac man, galaga, defender, and even space invaders! There were 100 games or more in here. You pay a flat fee and then play for a given time any game you want. What a great spot! From the axe throwing to the food (I just had the fries but they were really good), to the games... I mean what a way to spend a few hours... my son and I had a fantastic hours. read more

Lots of fun, great atmosphere, and friendly staff. Food was good too! We'll definitely be coming back again!

I came here for a company party. The games and drinks were fun. The food was mediocre. The staff was polite albeit understaffed.Overall I enjoyed it, but they need to have more people on hand, the bar line was too long. read more

Went here a couple times and recently saw the new update on the axe throwing and they have a digital/virtual large dart games. I will continue to have this place as a nice date spot or simply out with friends. read more

Great atmosphere and nice staff. They explained axe throwing great and were there to guide us when needed

We were pleasantly surprised to find that this gaming café has classic video games. They have a wall of pinball machines, along with some of my favorites, such as Frogger, Ms. Pac Man, Asteroids, Galaga, Defender, Pac-Man, Space Invaders. You can pay a flat rate for 30 minutes or 60 minutes. They also have escape rooms, darts, and ax throwing. They have a bar and food, but we didn't try anything this time. Will definitely be back. read more

As a family we've been looking for a place to do an escape room. Came across this place on the web and on Sundays they have a discount (from $29 to $22) so we made a reservation for six online. After fees and such it came to about $154 or so. They do have cancellation insurance that you can use within the last 72 hours for $3 each but we felt like we didn't need it for same day reservation. The place has a bar food type menu wings, burgers, decent mix of combination appetizers, sliders, chicken fingers, salads....Beers on tap as well as axe throwing and so concerned about the mix of those two....LOL... Also classic video games arcade so was definitely worth the trip today. It's a nice place and feels like a place you can hang for a day. Plenty of televisions for watching sports. The escape room was fun. Ryan who was our host was very friendly and very helpful....Lord knows the things he must see and hear as families work through things and argue like we did... but you get 60 minutes to get out and we did it with a minute to spare. There are a few other options for escape rooms so it does lend itself to return visits. I think the challenge was pretty fair and did require team work. We each were able to contribute so definitely a family friendly environment. We did the escape from Alcatraz. Three hints are given and they also are kind enough to give little baby hints along the way which helped us on our very first escape effort. They do have costumes that you can use to get into the spirit. Overall a fun time in the escape room and we'd do the other themes but definitely on Sunday with the discounts. We didn't do the axe throwing. The video game setup is either $12 for an hour of gaming from the first swipe (so don't swipe and then do the escape room) or $15 for four hours. Seemed to be no question that the four hours was best value. However, in hindsight an hour is plenty of time for games. After about two hours we were definitely getting weary of it, and after three hours we were ready to go...Just for clarification we did the video games after the escape room. I thought the food was pretty good. We had among us the boneless chicken wings (with BBQ flavor), chicken fingers basket, Timber Hamburger, a salad, and the chicken tacos. Probably came out to about $65 before tax and tip. Good and fun vibe from the staff there and some great nostalgia as the video arcade had among other favorites: Joust, Donkey Kong, PAC-man, Ms Pac-Man, punch out, track and field, operation wolf, zaxxon, and a slew of pinball games. Overall around $90 on video games, $150 for the escape room, $65 for the food. For six people about $50 more or less per person for a solid 4-5 hours o fun. Have to say fair value and a good time so we will be back. read more

Absolutely recommend this place family friendly. Gary was a huge help explaining about his organization and how it functions. The food was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend the nachos with the brisket there's adult beverages, and Coke cola beverages do not go with open toe shoes. They will give you a pair of shoes and a clean pair of socks, I learned the hard way....lol!!!! there's always somebody there close by to help you and instruct you how to properly throw an ax. It was a great experience! read more

Amazing place and staff! My buddy and I are vacationing in the area and the manager on duty was super helpful! Great options for playing old school arcade games... Had my classic three: Simpsons, X-Men, and Turtles. Lots of great pinball games too. Can't recommend enough! read more

Corky's is awesome. Found this place on google and booked and hour of axe throwing with my daughter. We walked in and were greeted right away by a friendly woman that was delivering food. We told her it was our first time so she took her time to explain how everything worked. Checked us in for our reservation and gave us a buzzer. We walked around and checked out all the games but didn't get the game card because it's by the hour and they were already getting our bag ready. I ordered a margarita and a sampler for food. Bartender was so nice and explained the ordering and number situation. Margarita was perfect! We got our bay and host Luis. Luis was the absolute best. He showed us how to throw and explained the fun games. He really made our experience phenomenal. Luis had such great energy working with everyone it was contagious and we ended up being friends and cheering on the people throwing on the bay next to us that he was also working with. It was just a great time. Food was fried bar food but tasty. We would definitely return to try the games and escape room. Corky's was 10/10 read more

Was in town for a business trip We ended up here at Corky's one evening for entertainment. I'm not much into these type of things anymore. At my age, I just want to get back to the hotel after work. So we rented three booths, and ordered all kinds of food, and beverages. The food wasn't to bad, and since Corky's has a full bar. Everyone was pretty much happy. Watching everyone do their axe throwing, and I was really not interested in joining them. Sorry, but throwing axes into a bullseye is like throwing darts. I just get bored with it. I did ended up joining them, and did a few rounds. At least everyone else had a great time. Glad I at least experienced it, and now I can say I did it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. If you are willing to listen, they are willing to show you how to throw an ax. read more

Allen the Great was an excellent instructor/facilitator. Full of patience & personality he made for a wonderful first experience throwing axes. The space is wide open with fun in each corner whether you're indulging in food/libations, exploring the gaming area, smashing axes, watching ESPN or escaping a room there's something every one can enjoy. Outdoor seating option, sanitation stations, hooks for hanging your purse/jacket and plexiglass in place for a COVID safe environment. I can't wait to return as reigning champion! Reservations made easily online. ~CA read more

Corky's was fantastic. We just held our Team Retreat Event this past weekend at their venue and Taylor Cook, the Sales Manager/Event Coordinator was so helpful. This was the first of many venue's we reached out to & Corky's responded back to us first & in a timely manner. Their prices, packages that we were offered beat out the competitors by far and because of the phenomenal customer service, communication and efficiency, we chose Corky's over the others. They were able to accommodate our group of 20-25 for 5pm on a Saturday night and Gary (Manager) and his great staff helped us out from start to finish. It was a busy night and we had an area to ourselves and the package was wonderfully organized & the schedule ran on time. We had a one hour buffet, the food was PERFECT (Chicken Tacos, Mini Sliders, Jalapeno Bacon Wrapped Poppers, Queso/Chips, Boneless Buffalo Wings and Funnel Cake Fries to end) We were so stuffed at the end of the buffet and it was more than enough food for our group, everything was deliciously prepared and kept on coming when some of the items ran low. We were able to add a drink package to our reservation and the drinks were HUGE and super delicious with fun flavors/gaming themes. The next hour was spent Axe Throwing (the event we chose) and our "Axperts" Guided our large group and communicated the rules, gaming procedures very well. It was such a fun experience! We ended the last hour of our reservation with one hour of unlimited free play in the gaming area. This venue brought out the inner kid in all of us again, so well organized, food /drinks were delicious, customer service went above and beyond, this event was worth every penny. 10/10 experience and highly recommend!!!! read more

Corky's is extremely fun and has some of the best bar food I've ever had. Everything I've tried is delish! Cheeseburger sliders, cheese fries, fried pickles, mozzarella sticks, hummus & pita bread, fried green beans, brisket nachos, boneless wings - all are wonderful. Their specialty drinks are great, too. And of course, the axe throwing is a competitive fun sport - perfect for small groups. Mike who works there is particularly awesome! read more

First time axe throwing and I actually chipped her board. She's never seen anyone in her 7 years ever chop her board (a thick splinter chipped off and she made me take it home as a souvenir). She's a supervisor and super friendly. Even helped us take a picture. While eating, some lady gifted us 2 gift cards for unlimited arcade games and of course my semi competitive side said let's go. Played for 30 mins and regifted it to another group (since we decided to leave). Overall it was a fun experience, would do it again. read more

Went here for a company xmas outing! The location and setup was nice with the activities. We enjoyed the axe throwing and I was able to play old video games! The problem was the food. The "wings" quesadilla's and other finger foods were basic tysons frozen reheat bulk with no actual restaurant quality! My only pro is it wasn't on my dime but I definitely wont vote this location for our next one read more

Looking for an out of the box date night idea? Work team building activity, just a night out with friends? Corky's is the place for you! I've been to numerous axe throwing joints around DFW and Corky's is the best hands down. Their boards and axes are well maintained. In addition to axe throwing they have old school arcade and pinball machines, escape rooms, oh and did I mention full bar AND serves food?! Yes, they have that as well. Service and axe instructors are always friendly and helpful. Even if you've never thrown axes, this is a place to just have fun. Highly recommend! read more

Great food, lots of fun, and great staff. We frequent Corkys with the family. My kids love the arcade which is at a great price at $5 for 30 mins all you can play. read more

Underwhelming escape room - props and designs were unimpressive and many were poorly maintained. You must book well in advance online as they do not keep a game master on site, one only comes in when there is a booking in advance and ours was late arriving to work. It was a total let down having a portion of the entertainment activities provided not available and being turned away. The available same day activities weren't worth staying for. Sad to say. read more

Went for a work outing. Got to say the burger was good and the games were all fun. The escape room was also challenging but fun. read more

A little bit for everyone. There was beer, wine, cocktails... ax throwing, escape room and old school games. I was pretty bad at ax throwing but still had a good time. Great for team building events and small parties. I appreciate that they offer closed toe shoes for anyone that didn't bring them for the ax throwing! read more

There aren't many places where you can say "I'm going to go have some drinks and throw some axes for a bit", without sounding like a psycho. In fact, this is probably the only place in DFW where you can say that. This spot is a bit hidden if you don't already know what it is or look in that area when driving by. I hadn't actually heard about this place until they were mentioned on 105.3 The Fan a week prior and also seeing a Yelp Elite event happening too. They've got a really good selection of video game-themed cocktails as well as craft beers. We tried out a buffet that contained cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza, Canadian bacon pizza, Buffalo wings, bbq wings, and fries. The quality was much better than standard bar food. My favorites were the Canadian bacon pizza, bbq wings, and the fries. I could make a whole meal out of just the fries, they were THAT good! On the entertainment side they have a ton of vintage games that I loved playing growing up as a kid. Although we didn't get to try axe throwing, we stood by and watched as some other folks were doing it. It looks very similar to playing darts, except with axes. I definitely want to come back here to try it out! Looking at fliers, there are a number of packages that include different combinations of food, arcade games, and axe throwing. read more

Great place to hang out with friends or have a date night. They have food/bar/lots of old school video games/themed escape rooms/ and Axe throwing. You purchase a timed game card for the arcade games and pay individually for Axe throwing and escape rooms. Place is clean and not to loud. Food and drinks are reasonably priced. The escape rooms and ax throwing would be a great thing to do with a group of friends or maybe even a great team building exercise for work peers. They do have a Happy Hour which offers 2.00 off some drinks read more

Staff was excellent and our group had the best time!!! Dart games were so fun with all the options!

We had so much fun here! I am all about throwback arcade games& I was mostly excited about the Axe Throwing! They even have an escape room! The food is very good, especially the pizza, but we also got to try the wings too, I chose the BBQ wings. I wasn't a big fan of the mixed drinks, I think it had to be the lime juice, or marg. Mix because it was undrinkable personally. They do have beer, so we switched to that& was satisfied! The main attraction for me was the axe throwing, moderately priced, but the guys who worked there were really helpful with our group throughout the game! We had never done it before, but by the end we deff. We're ready for MORE. They have a few team games to play against each other, which were clever fun games within it. We had a blast!! I can't wait to come back to try the escape room! read more

We had a blast at Corky's! Thanks to Conner for being a fantastic host of our "wisdom" vs "young 'ins" ax throwing competition. We old folks hung in there. This really is a place for all ages. We also enjoyed seeing Conner's skill at ax throwing. Wow! We followed our ax throwing session with an hour in the arcade playing pinball and old time games. My son wants to return for the escape room. read more
