    Bullseye!
    Lauryn K.

    A fun way to spend an evening! My wife and I decided to try out Dueling Axes for our date night and had a great time! The staff was very friendly and helpful in teaching us how to properly throw and gave us some tips along the way too as this was our first time. We went to the 4th street location and a huge bonus for this spot is that it's BYOB and you can bring in your own food as well. Makes for an inexpensive and fun date night. They recommend you reserve a lane ahead of time online as the lanes can fill up quickly. Great for large groups too! We'll be back!

    This was my first axe throwing experience and I'll be the first to say I was a bit intimidated going in, but overall this was a really fun time! The space has a lumber-y vibe, BYOB and some snacks, you'll be good to go! You'll have your own lane, but most likely a shared table at some point with a different party. No biggie though. I appreciated the crash course lesson before hand because it helped me a ton! Keep that axe to forearm ratio at 90 degrees! Thank you for having us.

    Love the light fixtures!

    Went to Dueling Axes for a work holiday party. There was our party and one more group throwing axes. The instructions took what seemed like a really long time to go over. I understand the importance of safety but there was a lot of rules. They would need a lot of associates working on busy nights to spend a half hour with each group going over everything. When we first got there is was cold in the building but warmed up once we started throwing axes. The space itself is beautiful. The lanes, the lights, all the wood and metal make it a fun space to enjoy. We had a group of six and asked if we could be on two lanes, we were told no by the staff. We didn't bring our own drinks so waiting for five other people to throw got tedious after awhile. For larger groups I recommend either getting two lanes or having drinks or something else to do while you wait for your turn. They have different games you can play and you write your scores on a chalkboard. There is only one ax per lane and one person allowed in the lane at a time. The staff is really friendly and take their time teaching you proper throwing stances. Overall it is a good time and fun to say you went ax throwing!

    Fantastic experience! Booked online with 3 friends and had a blast! Social distancing guidelines were in effect and enforced consistently so I felt safe. Action was fun and quick to pick up. We did so much damage to the boards in they let us take a slat home! Newly introduced digital scoring made it simple to keep up with bragging rights between friends. BYOB (bring your own beer) feature makes this place hard to beat...but they also sell drinks! Will come again for sure. Such a fun, out of the ordinary experience!

    Kicked off my birthday weekend with some axe throwing! If you sign up for their emails, you might get a birthday discount! The staff is always so nice, helpful and gets you set up quickly! I love they they now have touch screen computers and tv screens to keep up with your scores! We just did an hour session, and my bestie and her boyfriend (who had never done it before) loved it! It's BYOB and BYOF, can have both delivered. Street and lot parking close by. Fun for girls night, family fun or a date night!

    This place was so fun.. My wife planned this this my birthday and it didn't disappoint.. Plenty of room to social distance but not a huge place. Maybe 10-15 bays. Can fit parties. There is someone there to help you if you need assistance on learning to hit target and throw the ax.. Bring your own beer and snacks. Which is pretty cool. But didn't know that until we were already there. Good thing we had 6 pack in the car we just picked up.

    This place is awesome! I've been meaning to go for years now to try ax throwing, and finally my company went as a team building activity this month. I was skeptical about whether I'd really enjoy it or not, but it turned out to be a blast! I've actually already gone back again since this trip because I enjoyed it so much. The facility is BYOB and bring your own food - so the options are endless for what you can eat and drink while there, and it helps save you a ton of money from what you can imagine a place like this would charge for food and beverage. To me, it's a no-brainer that if you're looking to do some casual drinking before a night out, it makes sense to do an hour of ax throwing and bring in your own drinks and snacks for your time there. It's also in a convenient downtown location for heading out after. The staff is super informative and available when needed! They start by going over the safety guidelines and teach each and every person how to properly throw. It might seem easy, but it definitely takes a few rounds to get the hang of it! They also offer a number of games that you can go through and play, which is helpful for making the best use of your time. While I may not continue to go a few times a month, like this month, I will definitely go a few times a year and recommend any one who hasn't yet before to do the same! Perfect way to let out some stress or anger from a long week.

    Great experience! Was very nervous before because I've never been and I wanted a good date night with my partner. Not only was it a fun night but all the workers there were so kind and very helpful. So joyful the minute we walked thru by the employee, (unfortunately forgot to get their name but was a sweetheart) at the door, never hesitate to lend a helping hand from our favorite worker tonight 'Mark' (he was amazing!) overall an awesome place to be and 10/10 would recommend !

    I had a great time throwing axes here! I was invited by a friend who won a party from a fundraising event we had. First off, I contacted the owners before they were even open for business and they were immediately happy to help out by donating some passes for our event. They were very friendly and great to work with. I was able to see the space they built before it was done. The woodwork in here is just amazing! Our friend set up a time for the party to come and we were greeted immediately when we walked in. We were given instructions on signing a waiver and taken to our axe throwing area. We were each shown how to throw axes, given some helpful tips and then let go for some friendly competition! The space is BYOB as well as food, and they have menus to check out for delivery options. There are some TVs to watch as well. One last thing to note: they offer leagues! Definitely check this spot out!

    If you are looking to do something outside of your normal scope of interactive activities. Then this is definitely one of the things that you would want to do. Axe throwing is surprisingly fun and relaxing. Be careful though because it can also become quite competitive. I came here with my 12 year old son and his friend one night to do this and they had a great time. So it's definitely a family activity. The thing you want to be aware of when you come here is that they are not a full service food establishment. You pretty much bring your own everything or you can order from the plethora of restaurants from around the area and either bring your vittles in or have them delivered. There is a side machine present as well but it's all Pepsi products and if you like coke (the drink people not the drug smh) you will be out of luck. The facility is nice and clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They pretty much just instruct you on how to throw and how to do it in a safe manner. They provide you with a list of options for games and then leave you to be to fling axes. I would definitely like if you had your own instructor guiding you through the games.

    Check in before throwing axes

    This is one of the most fun and unique activities I have done lately. Throwing axes sounds a little scary and maybe doesn't sound like your idea of a fun time but I highly recommend you participate anyways. It's a little pricey but so worth it. Before you start you sign a waiver and get instructions and a demonstration. The guys that helped us were so great! They will also show you some games that you can play and after reminding you of the basic rules again will leave you to throw axes! Once you get the hang of it and get into the games your hot long session will fly by faster than you think. You're also able to bring your own beer/snacks!!! Your group will have a table so whoever isn't throwing can drink and watch the throwers. I have been twice and loved each time more than I expected to.

    When the Dueling Axes place was suggested to me, I thought it would be fun, but I didn't know what to really think. I thought that I would probably be bad, since I never done anything like that before. But I wanted to give it a try. When we got there I was smaller than I thought it would be. It had about 6-7 lanes for ax throwing. Separated with black gates. Once we checked in and got to our table/lane. We got precise instructions and rules on what we can do and what we can't do. I'm sure it's annoying for the instructors to give that speech every time. But he went through it with a smile on his face. Then he showed us how to throw the axe and technique. Then watched us try to throw practice throws. He was very helpful and even came back around a lot to help everyone with their throws and technique. The instructors even show you multiple games and how to play them. I was pretty good at throwing the axes. Which is something I wasn't expecting. I was not thinking I would actually be good at it. But surprisingly I was a natural. And the competitive nature or throwing against friends also made it more fun for me as well. This place is BYOB. So you have to bring what you want to drink yourself. It would be a lot more "Lit" if they had their own bar. But I can sort or see why they don't. You don't want a lot of drunk people walking around with axes in their hands This place was really fun. Ill definitely go back and throw axes again. Especially since ms so good lol. You can enjoy this with friends and family. This can get competitive, so be prepared. This is perfect for a date or casual meet up with someone.

    I recently came here with a friend to take part in their event RelAxe. For this event we spent the first hour completing a yoga session and the second hour throwing axes. First, this place is really nice. A lot of the character of the building was preserved and it makes for a gorgeous space. The yoga was okay, but the real excitement came when the axe throwing began. The staff take a lot of time to explain all of the rules, demonstrate throwing, and coach anybody who is new before any throwing begins. Each person completes a couple test throws under the watchful eye of the staff, and receives some tips and tricks to throw a successful axe before going off on their own. I really appreciated this because it helped ease my nerves! One of my favorite parts was that you can bring in your own food and drink (alcohol is allowed just no liquor) to consume during your session. The whole vibe is very relaxed yet safe and supportive. I really enjoyed my time here, got in a great workout, and gained some confidence in my axe throwing skills. I would love to come back for another event!

    See all

    We were going to dinner after, but the BYOB and nearby food options work great with the table space by the throwing lanes.

First of all, I'm absolutely terrible at throwing axes. I think I've managed to get it stuck on or two times in my life even thought I've gone multiple times. The check in process here is quite easy. We filled out the waiver and then were walked to our spot. At our spot, they went through safety training and all the games. There's multiple games you can play if you're really good. We stuck with the originally one though. I kept thinking, oh gosh, this guy training us is going to be pissed cuz I'm never going to get it to stick on the board. Well, he ended the best trainer I've ever had! I actually got it to stick on the board more often than not!!!! Now I fully get the appeal of axe throwing. The nice thing about this place is that they also have food and drinks if you want. There's a full bar. I just got a stout beer which was delish. We only had about an hour so we didn't order food or anything but that also looked really good. There were some other groups in here throwing axes too. Definitely a bigger space, too, so if you have a birthday party or a large group, this would be such a fun activity to do. And again, staff is incredible and did such a good job taking care of us!

    This wasn't just laser tag, this was laser war! What a great time! I came here with my fiance and…read moretwo other friends for the first time and we had an absolute blast! There are three different "theaters" or "maps" you can play in, and they rotate. One is set up like an office, another like a house (complete with real parked cars), and another is a warehouse. The guns are modeled after the characteristics of real guns (shotgun has wider field of fire but shorter range, pistol is more accurate with shorter range, P90 has full automatic with a functional scope, etc). And the guns are heavy too; similar to real weapons. Next, you get assigned a "mission" each time. We played four rounds total: free for all, team deathmatch, split team deathmatch (half of your team starts on the far side of the map, half on the near side), and "traitor" where one person on each team is chosen as the traitor and it's your job to eliminate everyone on both the other team as well as your team. I was chosen as the traitor for my team, so I had to subtly try and pick off my own teammates. I should mention that friendly fire is active ALL THE TIME in every type of match. You get 10 lives per match, and a limited amount of ammo too (although the ammo limit was never a problem). Matches have a 16 minute time cap. After our first two rounds we were lucky enough that there was a kids' birthday party there, so we got to play some 10 vs 10 matches too. This made the matches pretty hectic but a lot of fun. I think ideally I would like to do these with 7 or 8 per side. Pricing is a little steep but not so bad that I won't be back. It's $5 or 6 for a membership, which is good for a year. Then you have to choose to buy either 4 or 8 matches in a package. It was $24 for 4 matches or $34 for 8 (if you buy the membership). And you can use those matches any time over the course of a year. There is also a basic drink/bar area where you can grab a beer or pop if you want. There might've been some standard bar foods (hot dogs/nachos) there as well, but we didn't check it out. If you choose not to buy a membership, you can buy either 3 or 6 matches, but you have to use them all up on that visit or they're lost. I forget the prices of these because we did the membership. They also have special "event" pricing for groups that you can do, but the downer here is that you have to pay as a single unit and then rely on everyone else to pay back the person paying. Membership fees are waved during that time for everyone, and they're unlimited play. Overall this was a real good time. One thing I would have liked to see was some sort of scoreboard/ranking outside of the arena that would show you how many kills/deaths/team kills each person had. I'll definitely be back, and next time I'll bring more friends along.

    Ordered tickets about a month ago, I got a broken foot so I called them and I asked to…read morereschedule... they told me to just come in whenever we can and we can either move the date or just play that day. Came in today around 8 PM today and I couldn't even play because I was told I wasn't even in the system even tho they have looked up my name previously when I rescheduled? so there goes my $75 down the drain

    Downtown

    Been here a few times for a few different events. Since this is an event space that events…read morethemselves can rent out, I'll try to avoid commenting on the actual events. Instead, I want to focus a bit on the staff and space provided at the Kee. I've been surprised by the event staff here every time I've come to an event. Every time I've gone, the bar has been pretty understaffed. Customers will come up asking for water, and bartenders will wave them off, saying "Get water from the free dispenser over there" while the dispenser is empty. Maybe this is a barback issue? The bathrooms start out okay in the beginning of the event, but every event has been out of toilet paper and paper towels by the end. They're looking pretty shabby too. The Kee might consider mid-event janitorial services because women ducking into the men's room to steal toilet paper rolls to hand them off to other women who are sitting in the stalls is probably not the look you're going for. The space itself is cute. Rooms are wide open with ample walking space. The main room (the Kee calls it "The Venue") is huge and echo-y - which is a shame because this appears to be where they put live entertainment and music. We've had a hard time hearing any presenter's words in this room because of the acoustics. The additional rooms are super cute (love the arcade games and unique furniture), but they're only open during events if your event paid for them. The arcade games cost extra money. There are nearby parking lots that'll handle most small-event traffic, but if something huge is going on, you might need to figure out street parking. The hallways/entryways are definitely built for shuttling people through, and they handle entrance lines pretty solidly. (I'm a little confused by the Yelpers reviewing food or drinks here. The Kee is only open for private and public events. It looks like this might have been a restaurant space at one point?)

    Went here for an event and absolutely loved everything about it:…read more-the space, loved the different layouts, area great for photos, arcade area, area filled with natural light. The bathrooms were awesome (pink sinks, faucets, and hand dryers in the women's room!) -the barista who manned the coffee bar for the event was wonderful. He made a phenomenal dirty cinnamon chai latte -I had a light lunch of whipped honey labneh and I never want yogurt again, just that. Chefs kiss. Another reviewer correctly pointed out that they already add a 20% service charge so do what you want with that info.
