I think there are some improvements to be done to the place- the boards were a bit moldy and it was very dark with the lights off. It was not my favorite spot, from the game itself to the food and drink options. I wouldn't tell you not to go, but I wouldn't recommend it.

We had a blast at FXBG Axes! Came with a group of 10 on a weekend and were pleasantly surprised it…read morewasn't crowded. We had a reservation but there was plenty of space. We easily got two lanes (they allow 5 people per lane), and the setup worked perfectly for a group our size. What really stood out was the variety of games--way more than just standard bullseye throws. We played everything from Tic Tac Toe to Zombie Hunter and even Buck Hunter. Tons of fun and definitely keeps things from getting repetitive. The staff were friendly and helpful--they give you a quick rundown on how to throw, then let your group take the lead. It's a laid-back vibe, which we liked, but if you're looking for more hands-on coaching or lessons, you'll need to flag them down again. Food options are limited--basically pizza, chips, and chicken nuggets--but that's not really the focus here. What they do have is a solid beer selection, reasonably priced at $4-$6 a can, which is a nice bonus. Only downside: it was pretty warm inside. Not sure if the A/C was struggling or what, but by the end of our hour we were definitely sweating.

Yikes. I actually enjoyed axe throwing. Maybe darts have become too prosaic for our unsettled times…read moreand polarized culture. What we needed was a slightly more menacing and cathartic barroom outlet that makes the beer and the hard liquor go down that much easier. How about hurling the business end of an axe at an unsuspecting plywood target. After some basic safety instruction and expert pointers on technique it's time to let it rip. While I can't quite claim to be Jason Bourne or John Rambo going after a wild Boar, after about ten throws you can get the axe to stick consistently. This is good clean fun for the entire family, even the toddlers. Someone please get little Timmy a Modelo. Seriously, a solid five and many thanks to the great staff at Viking.

The "coach" was super nice and walked through safety guidelines and how to throw the axe. She continued to check on us through the night to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. There are two kinds of axes to try. I liked being able to switch it up. I was awful but still had fun! They have a small food menu of nachos and pizza along with a refrigerator of beer, White Claw, and Angry Orchard hard cider. (It would be great if in the future, they carried local drinks like Lost Boy Cider and Port City Brewing. Not super important, but locals supporting locals is always a nice touch that i notice when i go out). Overall, we had a great time. As opposed to some of the other reviews, the staff member never pressured us to leave. This could be because it wasn't busy. Either way, we felt welcome the whole time. Would definitely recommend!

We didn't order food, but everything we did do was fantastic. The service was great and the coach did a great job showing us the ropes and introducing all the games. The games, I have to say, are really great. You aren't just throwing axes at a target. They have games that overlay the backstops, like battleship, tic tac toe, 21, zombies, etc....even including uploading your own pictures to throw axes at (my wife loved tossing axes at the big mean black spider that we found outside our house). If you're up for a great time, at great prices, a great atmosphere, this is your place. Veteren owned too, as a navy retiree, I can't stress enough how important it is to support businesses like this. Especially when they go above and beyond!

He threw axes tonight, while I enjoyed a cold one. Owner Jeff and his staff are very welcoming. This boosted his confidence, which has been an ongoing project.

My son enjoyed the flat bread pizza. He wouldn't share a slice with me, but he's a growing leviathan. This restaurant supports military members and first responders.
