About to kick some Axe!
Benjamin J.

First time axe throwing. I will certainly do it again - just not here. As a first timer, I was expecting to feel a bit more secure or safe about wielding an axe but I didn't. The instructor/guide told us how to throw but when asked if she could demonstrate, said that she was unable to do so. She walked away several times during our session so when I had questions about the game or about the axe throwing movement, going looking for her was really annoying. Plenty of other games to play before/after if axe throwing isn't your thing but we opted to leave after our experience. They have food and drinks but we didn't have any.

Didn't think it was my cup of tea. But after I got into it we had a good group we were paired with. It was . Great service and point person was fun. Never had beer usually don't like the bitter taste. But the bar tender helped me choose. Was not a fan of the pizza. Pizza (margherita) yuck. .

Great experience again for a birthday celebration. The birthday axe was a new apparatus to be used, requiring only a single arm and 3 points of contact. Our board was somewhat beat up and on its last legs, but we still had fun. Able to play in our range solely with a group of 5 as it wasn't that crowded 1 pm on a Sunday.

Delicious mushroom and garlic flatbread

Reservations are definitely recommended. Although I made the res for 4 pm (the time they open) for 4 people and tickets are paid during the booking in advance btw. Unfortunately, 1 person in our group wasn't able to make it. And we were told that since it was last minute, we couldn't get his portion refunded. =( Upon walking in, we were greeted w a warm welcome by the bartender Lawrence. Check-in by scanning the barcode they had in the front by the bar. Which was breeze. Afterward, we were introduced to Miller. Miller was our instructor the entire time. Since this was mine and another girlfriends' first-time axe throwing, he went over the safety instructions and showed us how to handle the axe. We had a few practice throws. Miller made the experience so fun and enjoyable, once our competitive game started. AND - We all managed to hit the bulls-eye! Awesome sauce! The entire game took a little over 1 hr, and we practically had the entire place to ourselves since we decided to come super early. Axe throwing is definitely an upper body workout. My shoulders are sore in a good way. They have tables to play Jenga and checkers. There was also a props section for photo ops. Shared a mushroom and garlic flatbread, which was so delicious. The crust was crispy, and the flatbread was so cheesy and garlicky. Yummy! Will be back and def recommend you to check out this establishment.

Great ambiance.

Team bonding with co-workers, alcohol, food, and lethal weaponry!!!!! Yay I'm in!!!! The instructor was patient and fun. I was hitting bullseyes before I left. Light drinks, Rosé, Corona, and lots of laughter. Empanadas were ok. Margherita pizza could have stayed in the oven a little longer. Props for pictures (including axes) and lots of board games. Definitely a great way to spend an sunny evening in Red Hook/Gowanus/Park Slope. Five stars for the instructor providing a wonderful experience and making it look soooooo easy.

I brought my daughters on a Sunday, it was fantastic we had the place to ourselves for quite sometime (got there right after opening). The staff were very nice and our coach I believe her name was Piper was great very patient with us. I would recommend

Such a great spot in the Gowanus area for a friends night out or even a date night. The prices are fair in my opinion and the service is great. The staff is super friendly and helpful to explain how the game works. The environment is laid-back and allows you to meet other people while you're there. After your session of axe throwing there are games to play if you so choose. The food we ordered was not good at all, however, if that were to improve, this place would be five stars.

HEY!! If you're looking for some fun this unique place is for you! Nice location in the historic Williamsburg , Brooklyn New York around warehouses. Axe throwing is a fun activity, using real metal axes and a wooden dart board, in separated booths for protection. You must sign waiver to participate in axe throwing. You're given a very thorough explanation of how to use Axe, demonstration of experience by the wonderful staff. Your instructor will even suggest fun friendly competition between booths of Axe throwers. We competed against a couple we didn't know and had so much fun! 10/10 Food/drinks - Price range is $-$$ you can order food and drinks to your axe throwing booth. There's a full bar opposite of axe booths. Tips- There's an assortment of board games to play ( JENGA , Puzzles , playing cards, etc) Optional - Wear comfortable clothes casual to throw and be active. (Think bowling or golf). There's closed toe crocs available for those that wear open toe shoes. Parking is available on street. Reservations accepted and suggested ! :)

Kick Axe lives up to its expectations of all out fun. I enjoyed every minute of being here with my friends. We did not have a reservation and did a walk in but they accommodated us within five minutes of being there. It was a very smooth and easy check in process. Apart from the axe throwing area they are a socializing area with various seats and games that can be played. There was bear pong, connect four, hungry hippos, jenga, sorry etc. They give you up to a hour and a half of axe throwing, the instructors are very detailed in explaining what you should do and shouldn't do for your own safety. They do not offer hard liquor as well it's for your own safety, but they do have beers, wines and canned light in alcoholic beverages. There's various finger food options as well although I did not eat anything. The axe throwing was very eventful and we played various axe throwing games to compete against each other. After axe throwing we sat around and played Jenga and connect four. I love the overall open space concept and lounge are they offer even if you aren't there to axe throw. I must say they as well have a great music selection that's played while you're there. Overall I'll rate my experience a 10/10 and will be coming back.

Kicking axe!

What a fun time! I once had a golf club slip out of my hand and go sailing 50 feet away (no one was hurt, except my ego) so I had reservations about axe throwing. But I'm so glad I did this. It's like darts, except ya know, with sharp, bladed axes. The Kick Axe space was divided into three main areas. Shane, who was the manager, greeted us at the patio and told us that this is the first venue of its kind in the US to get a liquor license, a point not lost to us when we walked in through the front doors, into the bar. The open space in front of it had seating and felt like a mountainside lodge complete with a fake deer's head. There were axe puns on the wall to keep things fun, a performer singing acoustic covers of pop hits, and lots of games (board games, a huge connect four, a giant Jenga etc.) throughout. The back part had the courts, 10 stations with 2 axe lanes each. Mad props to our instructor Leivi who taught several of us noobs how to throw it down. He was really cool and down-to-earth. We practiced both two-handed and one-handed throws and by the end of the evening, most of us had gotten bullseyes. We put our skills to a test and played a game, the first team to reach 60 points wins. Nothing like friendly competition to make things even more fun. You can say I had an axellent time! Pun intended.

Overall rating: 4.9 I've been here a few times, once on a date when it opened a few years ago and once with a group of friends. It's a great experience if you've never been Axe throwing before. The food is also very surprisingly good! Like wow, I'm very surprised. I always wish this wasn't so far away from the subway, but what can you do. I'm not sure if I'll go again because it is a very specific experience. But I recommend giving a try if you're looking for something different.

Let's get this out of the way now -- I barely kicked axe but I had an axe-hilarating time! Miller, an Axe employee, got me off to a strong start. Miller was super engaging and friendly. He was also patient because I tell you, connecting the axe to the target took a hot minute. I eventually was nailing those targets with his guidance and instructions. Then it went all downhill and my aim wasn't as sharp. My axe landed mainly on the ground haha but I still had a ton of fun. I would definitely throw axes again.

My 1000th review goes to The BEST time had by all in my group here this past weekend for my eldest sausage's 14th bday! Ray, our axepert was totally chill and super duper patient and encouraging since we had an age group range from 8- 40 something with zero experience with holding and throwing a very sharp object to a large wooden board but after the 2 rounds of getting a feel for it, we all became slightly more than just novices, some of us possibly advanced :) They offer a couple of sizes of axes so the wee little ones aren't subjected to trying to throwing half their body weight overhead. Once you get into a rhythm though it's all gravy and then you start getting daring and start trying to throw one handed, which is totally doable but just not by all lol .. The space is very airy, open and modern with a hint of medieval tied into it. Staff was friendly and tried to be as accommodating as they could be because one of our party people was way younger than the age limit allowed for weekends. You get a free drink when it's your birthday and a group pic put onto their fb page where if you get the most likes, I believe there is a free throw session or another prize involved of that nature... So ask for Ray when you book your reservation! This is totally worth the money!

Ask the Community - Kick Axe Throwing

Are closed toes crocs ok, like the regular style?

Yes, closed-toed crocs are accepted.

Hi Ginger .. Do you happen to have gift certificates available? I wouldn't even know when to make a reservation for my brothers family, but I want to give them a couple of hours there as a birthday gift.

Hi there. Yes, we do have gift certificates! You purchase on our website, right here: https://www.kickaxe.com/gifts-bk. Gift certificates can be delivered to your phone or email address. All gift cards & reward points can be used at all of our… 

If bringing a group does everyone still need to be vaccinated?

No, they do not.

How does this work if you're under 21? Is there a time it's closed off to underage customers?

Hi! We do not close off at a certain time to those under 21. Our bartender and/or Axe Pros will check IDs at the time of ordering any alcoholic beverage(s).

What kind of music is played? And can you walk-in or is a reservation required?

We use a music streaming service and we always recommend reservations by booking online at www.kickaxe.com.

Has anyone ever gotten hurt here?

Never! Our Axe Pros go over safety and training with you before you throw and we ensure safety as our #1 priority.

Is the 1.25 hour option enough time for a group of 12?

Hi Candra! We recommend either getting two ranges for that many people or doubling the time, although we do allow that many on one range as long as you know you will each not be able to throw as much. Feel free to reach out to us at info@kickaxe.com… 

Has anyone done the party packages? What are the taxes and fees? Is 1 hour and 35 mins enough time? That only works out to 15 mins of throwing per person for a party of 6. Is the 2.75 package too long for six? (So many questions!!)

I did the party package for my son's 9th birthday. We had 12 guests total and a private range, they throw in pairs, so It was a short time for throwing, but with kids it was right for us, adults might want a longer time. We had enough time for food… 

Can someone post the prices please?

The cost is $35+tax/pp for the 75 minute range reservation and you pay when you make the reservation online. Normal reservations are fully refundable up until 24 hours before.

Are there age limits at night?

We recommend that everyone is 7 years or age or older and must be accompanied with an adult. Thanks for asking and we hope to see you soon.

What a lovely bar to sit in and relax and talk about your day with our large group of friends…read more Elsa is large, quiet, comfortable and inviting. We all had different cocktails and I asked for a shot of Don Julio Tequila which was "Far" from one shot - let's just say here at Elsa's they are VERY generous! This was perfect place to start our night as we were walking next door to the Yemeni restaurant where they serve no alcohol - not even a BYOB! Elsa's was the beginning staging area of our busy night.

I've been to this cocktail bar regrettably only twice even though I live (or rather lived upcoming…read moresoon) around the corner. It's classy but not too fancy and has enough space but doesn't get too loud. They have a nice happy hour menu from Tuesday-Friday from 5 to 7 as well as all day on Sundays which has very decent prices such as an $8 old fashioned among other things (see the photo.) the bartenders I've had before have been friendly with some good recommendations. Outside of their wide selection of cocktails which run the gamut of liquors, they have a nice wine selection, a handful of craft beers, and a very small food selection. The first time I was here, I had one drink which was the excellent Star of The Ice Snow for $17 with Iwai 45 whiskey, brie-washed Carpano Antica, Fernet Branca, barrel-aged orange bitters, and sassafras bitters. It had a a bit of bitterness, some sweetness, some spice, and some light mint from the fernet and was a pleasant complex drink and was certainly worth it from the price. The second time I was here was just this evening where I had two drinks. I first went with something that I was thinking of getting the first time which is their outstanding Vivian Darkbloom for $15 with Union mezcal, lime, pineapple, charcoal, Velvet Falernum, and lime bitters. The drink has mild citrusy sweetness as well a bit of smoke from the mezcal and is probably my favorite drink I've had here though the other drink I had the first time gives it stiff competition. I asked the bartender what he recommends and after a small discussion, he said either The Bell Witch (which is a gin and chartreuse cocktail with a strong herbal flavor) or what I went with. Said drink was the Under a Cosmic Cloak for $16 with rhubarb infused rum, Trois Rivieres rum, Smith & Cross rum, yerba mate, lime, grapefruit, and whey. The bartender said that it wouldn't be overly sweet as the rum was milk washed and this was indeed the case with just a mild sweetness and some fruitiness. There was a light herbal flavor otherwise presumably from the mate as well as a light citrus note and overall, it was good though definitely the least complex of the drinks I've tried and probably my least favorite but was definitely not a bad drink. The drinks here are reasonably priced for the quality, the bartenders are friendly, and it is classy but not overbearingly so. I can see why it's popular and I wish I stopped in more.

The service was also great as the bartender was quick and got us our next drinks as soon as he saw we finished our first one. During our visit, we tried the Matt's Ginger Old Fashioned, Brooklyn, Vulcano, and Palermo Fix. All cocktails were $14 each, which were all nicely made. The Brooklyn was very strong and the Old Fashioned is a nice classic with a hint of ginger flavor. The other two were lighter with twists of sour. They also offer some paninis, plus a toasted lard bread ($5) that we ordered. The lard bread is from Mazzola, which is absolutely delicious, but kind of sad that they only offer 4 pieces. Cool bar in the neighborhood with tasty drinks. It's such a simple, yet sophisticated bar. There's also a pool table in the back to enjoy.

The service is always quick and the bartenders know how to make a cocktail. Love coming here whenever I'm out and about in Caroll Gardens.
