    Such a GREAT night out!! I love trying new things. My husband and I visited our friends in Houston and decided to come on a Friday night. We easily made reservations online for 5pm. We didn't know what to expect and I was a little nervous to be honest! But we had James and Megan as our instructors to help teach us and they were awesome! They ran through rules and how to throw and then we each were able to try it out. Then the instructors showed us some fancy ways of throwing but for our safety we weren't allowed to try them. But they looked cool! We were able to play TIMBER and First to 50 for our group of four people. I was sad how quickly our hour and a half session came and went. There was even a small bar by the front. I liked that they had lots of craft beer options along with wine. The decor is minimal which is to be expected at a place like this. Their parking lot is small and since we aren't from the area, I'm not sure if there was additional parking elsewhere or not. I know what everyone's getting for Christmas!!

    Great spot!! I really loved going there on dates. The staff is really welcoming and the drinks include mead and lots of different beers. You can also play with glow-in-the-dark targets and knives! What's not to love?!

    We decided to come here to try out something new. I see it's a trendy thing to do these days, and I like to try out the new trends before they disappear. It is located off Bellaire and 59 and is easy to find. The parking lot is tiny, so I opted to park on the street. We purchased our tickets earlier in the week and also filled out the waiver online. This definitely saves a bunch of time when you get to the venue. The smell of wood hits you when you walk in and I instantly felt a little more manly. There's definitely alot of testosterone floating around in this place! After checking in at the desk, we got to pick clever ax throwing names. If you feel like you got something better, you can create your own name. I went with "Spruce Lee"! Every lane has two boards and they try and maximize the space with two teams. You may be stuck with random strangers, but the team atmosphere makes you make friends quite fast. I volunteered to team up with strangers while the rest of my friends stuck together as a team. I may have made some new BFF's in the process. Each lane is assigned an instructor who teaches you the ins and outs of ax throwing. After a few practice runs throwing one handed and two handed, the games begin. We went with the 1.5 hour session which gave us enough time to play 3 games. We played TIMBER which is alot like HORSE in basketball. We then played the first team to 40 without going over wins. To finish off we played Tic Tac Toe. It gets really competitive which to me makes for a great time. Beverages of the alcoholic and non alcoholic variety are both available for purchase. This is a great place for team building activities, group outings, bachelor parties, or even date night. I would come back!

    I know I'm late and sorry for the delay This place hands down was a hidden gem. I've lived here for going on two years and I've driven down the stretch of highway hundreds of times and did not know this was here. Yes I should have yelped search but I didn't. From the start the young lady was amazing. She made sure to go over every step, watch us, and than critique to make better. And it worked. We had the axe and knives. Took me a few tries since I kept using muscle and not technique. Once my body got with the program I started to land more on the wood. The place was clean. It was empty since we got there when they first opened. The dog was so chill and relaxed. Such a good boy. I will make sure to spread the word about this place. Good way to have fun and release some stress.

    A friend came to visit and wanted to check it out so off we went to whack away at large wooden boards. Made the appointment online and after arriving about 10 minutes before the scheduled time, we were checked in and taken to our area. The place was pretty full with guests but the cages are far enough apart to not feel crowded. I've been axe throwing before but since my friend hadn't, we got a brief lesson from one of the employees. They even offered some tips and explained the games we could play. If you've never been, it's definitely much harder than it looks and based on your current workout plan, you might feel a little sore the next day. That's not to dissuade you because it's definitely a good time. Can't wait until another friend wants to go!

    Awesome time hurling an axe 12' into a wall while you're surrounded by super chill people enjoying the same. Great date option. Really want to go back on shrooms to do the paint splatter canvas fun. Bryan, the manager, gave us a brief safety demo and then offered encouragement and tips on technique from behind the bar. Great bebidos choices. Will definitely be back!! Female owned. Love love love!

    We came here during our Store Manager conference for our Team Activity. Our coaches Xavier and Billy was super awesome and informative when teaching us how to properly use the axe/knife during our session! We did a bunch of games and had so much fun! It was our first time going and we all had so much fun! Thank you for being so awesome at what you do! We appreciate you guys! Especially our team coach, Xavier! He lead us to victory!! He was AMAZING!

    This is a great group activity and promotes competition with one another if you're the competitive type! Plus, if no one has thrown an axe before, no one has an advantage. You check in, pick a punny axe name, grab a few drinks (beers and non alcoholics), and can hang out in the waiting area til your axepert is ready for you. They have card games and a big Jenga. Our axepert was Axe-xavier and he made our experience extremely fun! I won't get into too many details (you'll have to see for yourself) but the games were very fun and challenged us. You are trained how to throw the axe for the first half hour or so and then you're throwing the remainder of your time. Don't forget to wear close-toed shoes! They also don't permit heels but I saw some ladies wearing heels while throwing axes so *shrugs* to each their own. I would say wear comfortable shoes so you can have better balance in case one of the axes are too heavy. Thank you Axe-xavier and Houston Axe for a great activity while visiting!

    Me & my friend, Amanda, were considering Top Golf for a nice evening, well, then we saw online the cost for 2 hours of swinging clubs. Toss in some food & drinks then you're out about $200! Since neither of us are trust fund babies, it was a pass on golf. Thank goodness Amanda said "Let's throw axes!" She was serious. I had no clue such a place was in this area. Voila! We wound up at Houston Axe Throwing on Larkwood. Plenty of lanes (if that's what they're called), friendly staff for safety & coaching techniques to enhance the experience. Everything was top notch. I've been to places where you rent your lane then you're on your own. Nah, this place is a nice clean setup to make sure you have fun. All drinks are in a can or bottle & I wasn't wild about that. Get some drinks on tap, please. The Asst. Manager, Bryan Brezina, handled our training, and coaching. The guy is first rate & I appreciated the Dallas Cowboys cap he wore. Lane rentals are for 1 hour. Btw, they have more happening than just throwing axes, hatchets, and knives. Check out their website at www.houstonaxe.com for more ways to have a helluva good time. This place is worth it. We'll be back!

    Axe, night out

    I brought my boyfriend here for a date. It was pretty nice. We got the axe and the knife for our session. They give a basic training and suggest to do some of the games they have on a binder, so that was a nice challenge. Super hard for me to aim, but my boyfriend was able to do it after a while. They have beer and refreshments, so it's nice little date spot.

    Tournament competition
    Clint M.

    I had never heard of such a thing before this place opened, but after getting a Groupon, my wife and I swung by to check it out. The 2.5 hour session is well worth it. Your trainer (I think our guy was Steve?) walks you through the steps and has everyone rotate through a couple of practice rounds. They are very good about safety measures, including a rule where you don't actually hand off the axes-- you set them down and someone else picks them up. After a couple of practice rounds, we went into mini-games, where they played TIMBER (basically an axe-throwing version of HORSE), and a points match where we tried to get to 30. Following the mini-games was a tournament. I felt that six throws per person per round made the tournament go a bit long (especially for those of us who were eliminated in the first round), but we still finished before our session time had ended. Our instructor showed us some trick shots (underhanded, opposite handed, two-handed), so we played another mini game (Tic Tac Toe), and had some open throwing where we got to practice whatever we wanted. Altogether, it was a great experience and we will definitely be back!

    See all

    Ask the Community - Houston Axe Throwing

    Is there an age limit? Can my 13 yr old niece participate?

    Children 12 and older can throw with an adult.

    Would this be a good first date?

    Of course it depends on the person, but I'd say yes.
