    Axe throwing

    This place was great! Went here on a whim while visiting Pensacola. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Papa Grizz spent some time with us to help us with our technique and give us pointers. I highly recommend doing the throwing stars! So much fun. The shovel takes some time but there was definitely a lot to do/throw! Word is they are expanding a bit to include food. Can't wait to go back and experience it. Highly recommend.

    First time throwing an axe and hit a bullseye

    There's so many fun things for you to do but the ax throwing was great... It had been a stressful few weeks and I took a day off of work and last minute decided that this was what I wanted to do. The staff was fantastic, the drink selections are great and who could go wrong with throwing an ax as hard as you can at a board??? There's different "games" that you can play for scores and there's also other things like pool tables, a rage room, etc. I will 100% be back in the near future.

    5 axes. 5 stuck.

    Angry? Pumped up? Frustrated? Or just want to have some big fun then this is the place for you. Our party ranged in age from 16 to 65 and everyone of us had a grand time. The staff quickly teaches you the basics and they are always happy to come back to you with more tips. The venue has other activities so everyone remains engaged and there are beverages as well. Since they don't serve food, they have no objections if you bring your own or have it delivered. A lot of fun at a reasonable price and they offer up discounts for military and educators. If you've hesitated to try, don't!

    This place is so much fun. They do discounts for teachers and military, I think. Everyone that worked the front desk was extremely friendly and accommodating. They gave us little tutorials on how to properly throw an axe and gave us tips on being safe. There is a cool bar there with a nice selection of beers. If I'm back in Pensacola in the near future, I'm definitely going again.

    Fantastic visit! All of us had a wonderful time at Grizzly Axes! Everyone was so nice and Grandpa made sure we had the best time possible. If you have not taken the time to visit, stop what you're doing and go to Grizzly Axes!

    We had so much fun! The staff and owner were great. The owner spent time with us, gave us extra pointers and even let us try different axes. We highly recommend Grizzly Axes!

    Our daughter's friend won the title of "big axe champion"

    The owner is amazing! Me, my husband, our son, and our daughter who's stationed at NAS Pensacola, along with another sailor went last night . It was our last night in town before heading back home and the weather wasn't in our favor. This place did NOT disappoint! After our paid hour of throwing, the owner brought out his personal championship throwing axes for us to throw! He let us play around(safely of course) for almost another free hour! He showed us cool throwing tricks and tips and made the experience a memorable one! I highly recommend checking them out if you're in Pensacola fl.

    LOVED THIS PLACE. We visited from California and we were absolutely in love. The owner greeted us, showed us how to throw, some technics and even let us throw some special axes! They serve great beers and light snacks too! We will definitely be back now that we live in Pensacola!

    What wonderful and delicious find, we stopped in while spending a few days RVing in the area, after…read moreseeing the reviews and photos from my amazing Yelp Friend Barrett O I knew this place was going to be special. We got here mid-afternoon on a weekday so as expected it wasn't very busy which was great for us since we had plenty of time to meet the staff and owner and got a little history of this establishment and of course partake in some delicious german cuisine and for me a taste of the ice cold german beers on tap. This is a beautiful venue and the staff couldn't have been more welcoming. I'm definitely not an axe thrower but I do have a palette for delicious german food and I'm definitely a self-proclaimed expert beer drinker. After spending some time in Germany I developed a love for German Beer so I wasn't going to waste this opportunity to enjoy a few of my favorites, the BitBurger Pilsner and Hofbrau Dunkel Lager which never disappoints - The menu is filled with authentic offerings that made choosing a little difficult for me I wanted a taste of everything. We started with an amazing pretzel and bier cheese soooo yummy and so big there's plenty to share, we also ordered the Rueben and Brat with fried potatoes everything was perfectly executed so my hats off to the kitchen. This was a wonderful experience, a very comfortable setting and great conversation with everyone that makes this place great, we can't wait to return on our next trip to the area and I've already discussed with Barrett that we'll have a toast with a few cold ones then - I can't wait, you definitely need to bookmark this one...

    I stopped by for lunch. The Inviting and friendly staff happily poured me a delicious beer as I…read morechecked out their easy to follow German menu. BTW... Their tap list made this German bier drinker very happy! I ordered the Jägerschnitzel. The food came out promptly. The portion was just fine. The plate was full with a proper looking schnitzel, perfectly browned potatoes, and sauerkraut. The thinly breaded cutlet of schnitzel was pan fried perfectly, of good quality, and flavorful, covered with a tasty mushroom brown sauce. The potatoes were fried perfectly with just the right salt and butteriness. Now the sauerkraut... that is some good homemade kraut! No joke! If you aren't a fan of sauerkraut, you will be after this. I am first generation German. I go to German often. I know how German cuisine should taste. So.....The chef is doing good work. I look forward to try other things on the menu. As for ambiance..... This is not a normal German looking restaurant on the inside or outside. Don't let the strip mall style exterior or the axe throwing sports bar interior stop you from enjoying this place. I have looked around the Foley/Gulf Shores area for a German style restaurant and bar. This is it for me.
