    Went to celebrate my birthday and had such a great time. Ian was the perfect instructor, who didn't rush through his explanation or how to throw. He even let us us his " personal" axe, which is obviously the best axe in the place. I highly recommend checking Hotshots out. Masks were being worn, social distancing was happening and everyone was enjoying their time here.

    Such a super fun date night. The party hosts are great! Loved the atmosphere & conveniently located off the 202 & 101! If you haven't tried ax throwing get a group together & go!

    Drink options. Mostly coke water and monster

    Had a lot of fun here. We arrived on a Friday night around 8pm and everthing was booked up until 9:30 so we were going to have to wait over an hour for a booth to open up but they had half the time left on one booth with no one there so they gave that to us at a huge discount. It was great. We had a ton of fun and didn't have to wait forever. Got yo walk right in and start throwing which was awesome. I would suggest you call ahead and reserve a spot if you would like to guarantee you get to throw when you want. We didn't know that since it was our first time. Either way. Had a ton of fun and would come back. Little pricey and I would say don't have more than 4 to one booth since even 4 made the pace pretty slow for us. Glad we didn't have 6. (The max) our axe specialist. Nicky was helpful and friendly. But didn't really teach us a whole lot of technique which would have been nice. But overall we had fun. And I would definitely come back. But probably plan it around a day they have discounts or something so we don't have to pay the full $35 per person.

    The beer we brought and our area in the background!

    Hotshots axe throwing is such a great time! We made a reservation for a random date night on a Tuesday around 7:30 and it was so fun! They show you how to throw, different ways, with two different axes. And then they let you kinda just practice a bit, and they have a bunch of easy to learn games you can play/win with your party. SOOO fun. Justin was our instructor and he was so fun! Super personable, knew a bunch of games, offered to take our picture, definitely a great time, i would definitely recommend him! PLUS its BYOB, so bring it! The atmosphere is great! They have great decor, and boards, and just great everything overall! My boyfriend has been to other Axe throwing places in the area, and he said this place definitely beats the others. Definitely go and check them out!

    I planned a date activity at Social Axe Throwing for my husband's birthday. Neither of us had ever…read moretried axe throwing before, so we had no idea what to expect...but we ended up having a blast! It was such a fun and unique experience. We arrived on a Tuesday shortly after they opened around 4:15 PM, and we were the only ones there, which worked out perfectly. This may have been why the manager gave us extra attention, showed us how to throw properly, and guided us through three different games. That personal touch really made the experience even better. For two people, I felt that one hour was a good amount of time--though we definitely could've stayed two hours at least if we didn't have other plans. Pricing for one hour is $54, which feels a bit steep, but I was able to snag a deal for $27, which was much more reasonable for a one-hour activity. They also had about five arcade machines set up with free play, so you could easily spend more time there either before or after your axe-throwing session. I didn't realize until after we arrived that they offer food and drinks too...next time, I'd plan for lunch or dinner along with the activity. This place would be great for a team-building event or a group date night. Axe throwing is a bit harder than it looks, but definitely a lot of fun. We enjoyed the different game options, like tic tac toe that made it even more fun. One thing I didn't love: when you arrive, they ask for a credit card to keep on file in case you order food or drinks. Then when we finished and hadn't purchased anything extra, we were asked if we wanted to leave a tip. I found that a little awkward. While the manager was super friendly and helpful (possibly because it was empty--or maybe that's just how they treat all first-timers), I think there should be a better, more subtle way to encourage tipping without putting guests on the spot. I did not let this impact my review.

    We went here for my wife's 25th birthday. The staff was super friendly. We had a group of 8 with 6…read morethrowing. They set us up with two lanes. Roy showed us how to throw. We were able to get three games in the hour time slot with minimal screwing around. They had a great beer selection as well and free classic arcade games. Definitely would recommend for something different!

    Located in the entertainment district known as High Street, I've been to The Mighty Axe - Phoenix…read more With plenty of bars, restaurants, shops, comedy clubs, coffee shops, and more in the area, High Street is an awesome part of town to go out. I've been to The Mighty Axe twice. Ambiance (4/5): This is part of what I love about The Mighty Axe. It has a cabin feel to it. Despite being in Phoenix, you feel like you've been transported to the mountains. There's some seating at the bar as well as some comfortable seating close to a fireplace. The barstools at the bar don't have back support (which is always a con in my book). The music tends to be solid. All in all, a cool spot. And a casual one at that. Service (4/5): The service tends to be friendly, laidback, and efficient. Just like I like it. Food (N/A): I've been on a liquid diet both times, and to be honest, I'm not even sure if they have food. Drinks (3.5/5): Everyone likes different flavor profiles when it comes to cocktails. The Mighty Axe has a solid list, though one that is not super appealing to my taste. Outside of their cocktail list, they have a full bar. The Mighty Axe, if the name didn't give it away, is both a bar and an axe throwing place. While I haven't done any axe throwing, I've checked out the area where it's located (the back of the bar). And there's even one outside on the small patio. Overall, one of my favorite bars on High Street (I live in Desert Ridge so I've frequented pretty much everywhere in the area).

So awesome to have such wonderful staff helping and having a good time with us! I don't mind the price at all, around $90 for 3 players for 1 hour! Not half bad for quality! I can't wait to come back and bring my friends with me. Such a hidden gem right next to The Hub! Thank you!
