For $28.50 / hour you can throw axes and drink beers (extra) like a Viking! There were several bays that were set up, and they gave a great beginning tutorial so you didn't just throw these things all Willy nilly. They had canned beer and wines you could purchase while doing this, so you felt the part of an old pub throwing dangerous stuff! That said, this place was super family friendly. Kids were throwing and grandpas and grandmas, too. Cool because kids and older adults really got into it as well. Reservations are encouraged because they fill up fast, especially on weekends! read more

I liked how wide the lanes were. The place was big inside and the employees were great. They let us choose the music cus we were the only ones there. It is a quiet business plaza and we were surprised they were open but we definitely will be back here. I was dealing with sore shoulders from a very intense work out so I was so happy when I saw the light hatchet by smith and Wesson. I wanna buy that for myself read more

Absolutely wonderful experience today at Highland Axe Throwing from start to finish. I reached out to them on social media to inquire about their league as I learned I had somewhat of a knack for throwing (compared to other things I do anyways haha). They gave me an email and told me to ask for Brian, and when I did he responded the same day and told me I should come in and introduce myself so we could chat. I was eager to throw again, so I scheduled for this Sunday and had let Brian know via email and he responded politely and in a friendly manner. When the boyfriend and I came in to throw, a woman with dark hair came over to check us in and get our drinks- a primarily alcohol-based selection. I asked about non-alcoholic options and she said coke or water before pausing and stating they also had sprite but it wasn't cold yet and wouldn't taste very good, so she had be reluctant to offer it (which I was thankful for). I got a Coke and he got a Sam Adams, and I mentioned my interaction with Brian and it seemed almost like she knew of our interaction and became even friendlier. She got Brian over who was awesome, he gave us some extra coaching for our second time and really worked with me to get a good fit on their lanes with their axes. He placed us near the league throwers as well, so we could observe and get to know them. After a little practice I felt right at home and was hitting my targets left and right! It was a great date night in addition to a therapeutic way to get some energy out on an otherwise lazy Sunday. Cool vibe, great staff, absolutely recommend. Although it's a little pricy (about $32.21 per person with taxes and fees), it's been enjoyable enough that I'm willing to pay that to throw and enjoy myself. Plus, what feels more empowering as a woman than being able to throw an axe well? It's pretty awesome. Come try it for yourself, I think it'd be hard to be disappointed doing something this cool with a staff this amazing. read more

Had a great time throwing axes here, I mean I'm pretty terrible at it, but it was great fun! Every lane nearly had their own instructor which helped because I've been to places where there was only one for all lanes...thankfully this was not like that which was nice. The instructor from start to finish was great, he gave excellent guidance and advice from a safety and throwing standpoint. He even explained rotation changed between the shorter and longer handles (throwers can have your choice of shorter handled axe or longer handled). Longer handled worked better for me it turned out. There is a packet of dry erase sheets to play several different games which is nice. The marker was a bit dried out but that was not horrible. It probably would be better to have an option of paper score sheets like mini-golf does. It would help if the inner rings were numbered so we didn't have to count when pulling axes, but there is a guide to tell you how to add scores in the dry erase pack. Overall would definitely do again, but I think I need some private practice time since I was so horrible read more

My oh so loving husband knows I have a propensity to hurl things when I'm frustrated, so being the ingenious person he is.... Let's hurl some sharp AF axes at a target while we drink some beers! Great idea dear! Needless to say, it was just what was needed; a great night out away from it all the BS of the previous weeks stresses. Don't let the men in kilts intimidate you. (It's just a can of beer in those holsters.) They're gentlemen (and one lovely lady) who will not only teach you techniques on how to throw, but share lumpia recipes with you as well. (Lumpia are Filipno egg rolls if you haven't had the pleasure....I'm referring to Dave, the comedic Jason Momoa look alike.) Apologies, I digress Located on the second floor across from Treble Makes in the Grove, we wandered into Highland after Friday night dinner just to check things out. (Wretched parallel parking can be found ground level right out front. ) The owners, Brian and Rebecca are super nice and hospitable, so we decided to stay and throw down a little. After signing an online waiver stating it's my own fault if I chop my big toe off, we got into it right away. Not only do they sell beer and merchandise with their logo, but that night, they offered a selection of girl scout cookies, mmmmm. My kind of ax throwing joint! There are 12 bays seperated by wire fences to throw in, so no worries about your neighbor's blades flying past your nose. There are also laminated placards that give suggestions on different games to play and score keeping. If you're a newbie, like me, you're just trying to get the ax on the board instead of ricocheting in the opposite direction! So stop in to blow off some steam, grab a beer or two, and give some love to the cute as hell labradoodle puppy, Rey, while you're there. (Side note in reference to one of the other reviews, I myself am a person of color and I felt very welcomed here and NOT one bit as if I was being segregated. ) read more

Saturday was my second time at Highland Axe Throwing it's one of my favorite axe throwing venues... I definitely will be back...

I've been to many places to do Axe Throwing and this is one that did not feel right to me. Again, it might be different for many people, but considering I'm a woman of color I felt like I stood out like a sore thumb and it being 2021 makes it upsetting. Don't get me wrong, the place is clean and beautifully aesthetic, however there was one employee that rubbed me off the wrong way and there was another employee who was pleasant enough to ask us if we had fun and if we needed anything. I'm upset I couldn't get the name, but the man (the first employee) that I mentioned previously asked us if we had an opened tab multiple times thinking my party and I are simply walking out without paying. Also, like I've said before it was all clean, but not tidy and up to date. The rubber floor on every isle of where you throw rises and it's extremely easy to trip and fall. Considering that this place is newly opened (2020) they might still need to do several changes and learn more on how to run a proper business that feels inviting rather than segregating people by color. Again, I do reviews to voice my opinion and share my outlook so do with this information what you please. Come and enjoy the axe throwing on your own accord, but you have been warned. read more

Addicted... Came in with reservations for my group of 4- signed the waiver on the website ahead of time. Entered immediately & a Coach came to introduce the safety rules and demonstrate how to throw. After some practice we started competing in some games of various degrees of difficulty. The music was fun & added to the experience. Nothing creates a long wait so everyone gets ample time but I do strongly suggest reserving two hours and not just one. We had so much fun we were reluctant to leave! Park & head to the second level of the building. Sign the waiver online to move quickly and make reservations. Wear closed toed shoes! BYOB, BYO-Kilt (nope, not a typo have fun with it!!); take home a shirt on your way out. Cash is great but they do have the ability for card transactions. read more

We had an amazing first experience today at Highlands Axe Throwing. We made a reservation last week (which are currently required) as well as filled out our waivers ahead of time online so we were immediately greeted and taken to our bay. The location had such a cute vibe and the axe throwing itself was so much fun! They start you off by going over the rules and techniques. Your guide then allows you to throw and get the hang of it before introducing you to the variety of fun games that your group can try! We will definitely be returning and telling our friends and family about it! read more

So much fun. The staff was really helpful and fun Definitely sign up for a time in advance. It gets busy. Great for birthday parties.

SO MUCH FUN! I have never thrown an axe nor did I ever think I would want to but now I can't wait to go back. Great atmosphere, incredibly friendly and fun staff. They take the time to teach you and really ensure you are having fun. Glen was our coach and was awesome! Well worth the time and money! Once you get the hang of it, there are several different games you can play. We went as a group of 4 and all really enjoyed. I definitely encourage anyone considering to try it!! read more

Venue is very small, owner's act like they created the sport. Find a better place in Tampa. Don't waste your time.

It was fun and different. We waited awhile for a coach to get us started which I think our 1hr shouldn't start until after shown the ropes. It was super loud in there where you couldn't hear anyone talking which kind of took the fun out of it. The beers were a little expensive. The coach in the kilt (not out coach) was super fun and engaging and helpful and made sure to interact with everyone regardless if he was their coach or not. I really appreciated that. read more

Very well organized. Had fun. The trainer was excellent. Clean, safe, well maintained. Will return again.

This is a great place with friendly employees! We had so much fun. They just gave us the run down of all the safety rules and we were all set. read more
