    We've been there twice and their rooms are very challenging and thought provoking. Jordan did a great job helping our team!

    We did Cellblock at Shawshank and it may be one of the most intricate escape rooms I have ever done.

    First of all I must start my review by saying this was not my idea to AXE throw on Sunday, however…read moreI had family in town and they wanted to try it. This isn't even anything that I would ever put on a bucket list. I am fairly coordinated, but being a female and not having a lot of upper body strength I would definitely not recommend trying this. It is about $25 for an hour on a lane. There is a waiver that needs to be read over and signed. One of the employees went through all of the rules, showing us the AXE how to stand, placement of your hands on the AXE. He explained how to remove the AXE once it sticks in the wood. I felt that the employee actually should have shown us an example of how to throw the AXE. He said for insurance reasons he was not allowed to do this and said that each of us could have a test turn at how to throw. He would critique our position, how we were holding it. What line to stand behind and how to step forward to throw it. Thank God that I had beverage to drink because after my test throw, and then attempting to throw again, without any success I was starting to get so frustrated. I actually was mad that I spent the money to do this and not to have had any success with hitting anything. Each person gets 5 turns to throw and then the next person gets their turn. After half an hour I was done and never cared if I ever stepped foot into another AXE throwing place again. I honestly don't know what the big attraction is with wanting to do this. Maybe it is a guy thing. I have no idea. I now can say I tried it, I suck, and I am done trying again. I noticed they had a decent menu with a variety of drinks and even some nice appetizers. I would rather play mini golf then try to throw an AXE, at a painted target, on splintered wood. There is signage indicating the point system and how to score, along with a bucket of small mini golf size pencils so that you can keep score. There is a ship bell, near the wall, this gets rung when you hit a bulls eye. One of your teammates will ring it signifying that you don't suck. The music in the background was upbeat and a great variety. The people in there were very nice and could tell that I was frustrated. They said don't worry you will eventually get it, it takes a lot of practice. I say No thank you I am not interested in every practicing how to throw an AXE again. Now if you are up for a challenge, and in the MKE area then maybe this is something that you would enjoy. I recommend wearing comfortable clothes. I was dressed up since we met up with family, from out of town, and were going to dinner. Maybe I would have hit the board if I were more comfortable. Whatever excuse I use I can say I tried and I failed miserably. It was an expensive thing to try.

    Family was in town for the holidays and we were looking for something to do that would be fun for…read moreeveryone. Axe MKE was the answer! We had a blast throwing axes and "competing" in the holiday-themed activity. They had some great holiday beverages and snacks, too.

    tl;dr - Drinking, axe throwin' and escape rooms. Gets your adrenaline pumping!…read more What a crazy night to wind up here! I was grabbing dinner in Waukesha on a Tuesday night and wanted to try and swing by Raised Grain for a quick beer. It was around 9 pm and sure enough, Raised Grain was closed. Further back in the same parking lot ... something about a lit "open" sign drew me in ... I took a few steps in the front door and lo and behold ... a gigantic taxidermy bear greeted me. "WHAT HAVE I WALKED INTO!?" I wondered. Answer: Lumber Axe. This place is the first in Waukesha County to feature axe throwing and has only been open for a few weeks now. I had no idea what to expect, but it's got a lot of cool "mountain man" decor and giant wooden targets as well a separate area for the escape rooms. Craft (bottled) beers and mixed drinks keep the night going - but read the sign in the photo area, as zero-tolerance policy when it comes to safety and there is a staff member monitoring and showing you what to do for the axe throwing. Think darts on steroids. You do have to sign off on an electronic disclaimer form which allows you to participate in the axe throwing and escape rooms. You can throw multiple times and we were able to learn the different methods of throwing (two-handed throwing, one-handed throwing) and also playing a "good natured" (depending on your company) competitive axe throwing game. Tweens and older can participate as long as there's adult supervision. Also, there are only five ranges, each with two lanes for two targets which means reservations might be a good idea as this place starts to get busier and more noticed! Great for groups, I told my boss about the place in passing and she's already debating on having a company summer event there. P.S. It sounds like the business is trying to get together or host an "axe throwing league" similar to darts, pool and bean bags! No food, but sounds like you can bring delivery or catering in. As you can tell, this place is very new and it was my first time there (and I haven't tried an escape room yet), so I will be sure to make a return visit and revise or update this review as needed!

    I was a regular customer at the Brewcade in the same building, and same owner, as this for most of…read morethe time it was open, and I looked forward to going there every weekend. Ellen, the lead axe coach, would come and talk to me and convinced me to try axe throwing, and it is a lot of fun, and Ellen is amazing. The owners and employees treated me very well until the end of September, when they decided to replace the arcade with "Krazy Golf" and banned me from their Facebook page for saying I'd have to find something else to do in response to the removal of the games. The bartenders (especially Kris) also scolded me for daring to say anything about it too and told me the owners would tell me to get the hell out. I have never been to a business that treated their customers this way. There have also been several now-former employees who have told me that the owners treated them like garbage. It also sounds like the owners moved from a nice location to this and don't understand Waukesha AT ALL. You're in a college town. All your competition is open until 2 AM. I don't care if you don't want to deal with the late night crowd. And no real signage for Lumber Axe or advertising? Nobody knows you're there! Utter incompetence on all sides here. Do yourselves a favor and avoid this, Krazy Golf, and any other businesses owned by these people. They don't care about their employees or customers at all.

    Vibe - weird. It's in a basement and smells like it…read more We had a work function here and the communication wasn't the best with our Bars and Rec reps as we found out as we arrived that they would have food out then we'd do a demo and start golfing. The spread was laughable for the price paid. The pizza was probably the best value. What sucks the most is that they take everything away after an hour and a half, even the "safe to leave out" things like pretzels. You can't leave food out that we paid for, especially if it's not a health concern? Maybe provide boxes so people could take things home? Wasteful and disappointing. The pizza and garlic bread got the best reviews. Cheese and veggie tray were what you'd expect. The staff behind the bar were friendly and quick to help, but I wasn't a fan of the demo provider. Spoke quietly and was upset that the group couldn't hear him though it was pretty full in the event space with another party who was already underway. The idea was unique enough but you'll need extra time to set up the courses. Overall, not impressed with this venue. Recommend any other Bars and Rec instead.

We had a reservation, and it was only our group and the staff, which was nice and private for us to go wild. We split into teams and had 30 minutes to build our course. I will say ours was the best. After that, we all took turns trying out each other's courses. It was so much fun, and I would definitely recommend it for a team/office outing or just a party with some friends/family.
