Honestly, the neighborhood was a little shady but the experience and the whole atmosphere once we were inside was fantastic. Jo was our "coach" and moral support. Drinks weren't fantastic but beer & malt options were ok. With the right people it would be worth coming back. read more

Had a great time bringing a party of 16 first timers (including myself) to Kick Axe this past weekend! We had to arrive a little early to sign waivers (doesn't take long), and waited with our buzzer until it was our turn. We booked two ranges and had ample time to throw axes which was nice because we had a little corner of the area to ourselves. The staff were extremely friendly and carefully walked us through do's, dont's on axe throwing and tbh, throwing axe is actually a lot harder than I thought haha We also played two games to spice things up a bit and definitely got us motivated to get better at axe throwing. The bar was also a great additional to our experience and definitely would come back again. read more

Went to Kick Axe for a friend's birthday party and had a great time! Cady was an excellent instructor and guide and by the end all of us were hitting the board almost every time. Our final game even ended in a tie with both sides getting a bullseye at once! I definitely recommend this for events as it's a great low key way to spend time as a group. read more

I'm giving it 3 stars because the front desk guy and host was very nice. The host was super cool. Cool game to play with groups. Cozy area to play board games while you wait or after you play Only reason I won't give it a 5 star is because the food sucked and was overpriced for the quality. Pizza was not cooked. Mac bites look like fake nuggets a stuffed with cheese. I get why real liquor isn't served cause you are throwing an axe but the drinks sucked also. Low sugar margaritas in a can was yuck. Just order a beer or soft drink if you go. read more

I came here with a large group to celebrate my good friend's birthday. We were separated into 2 groups that competed against each other. Firsr, our instructors showed us how to throw the axes properly and gave us safety rules. Afterwards we played about 4 or 5 games against each other. We had a blast!!! Drinks and a limited food menu are available. If you're looking for something fun and different to do with a group of friends, then Kick Axe is the place to be!! read more

Kick Axe Throwing - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We had a blast when we went there (pre -covid time). Axe-throwing, photo opportunities, (viking hats optional) very good bar food, pub food. Brooklyn, near the river. Safety precautions appear to be appropriate and the instruction was on- point. Recommended if you have not tried, must do. read more

We organized team event here with 20 people and the setup and service was exceptional. They helped me plan everything before the event so once we got there I didn't have to worry about anything. The place is fun and energetic and our instructor was so much fun. The axe throwing area is safe and they tale every precaution to make this a fun and safe experience! Highly recommend! read more

Booked this place on a Saturday night for a fun date night, and that's exactly what we got. The place was clean, and had a good crowd. Music was good, there was a small bar. Not like a bar bar but they had a few canned drink selections. Our instructor was fun, and helped us out. We had an amazing time, would definetly go back. read more

Wow, so so fun!!! Had a blast here especially with our leader (blanking on his name). It wasn't expensive for what it was. Had plenty of good beers and wines to drink too. Chill atmosphere and fun to do with a couple friends. I liked that you could also venmo your leader so they can get paid! I had no cash :) will be back read more

Kay was amazing, she did a great job as our instructor making sure we knew what we needed to know.

Awesome staff, good vibe, cute seating area to chill before/after you throw. As someone who is (was??!) terrible at axe throwing, I really appreciated that the staff take time to teach everyone how to throw properly. Thanks to their expert training, I didn't do so poorly in the end! read more

Kick Axe Throwing - Thanks for the training, Jess! - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is wonderful, I came here with a group of friends for a birthday, 13 people in total. Being the unorganized group of people that we all, we all bought our tickets online separately. Fearing we would have been with a random group, I called to ask them if we could be grouped. They let us know that adding a hostname in the checkout will let them know the party is together. The atmosphere was fun, we got there around 10 PM for our 10:30 appointment. It was super packed but after a while, the rush started to leave. They have a bar there which is awesome, they also have some seating near the entrance with board games and a giant connect four. The event lasts for about an hour and 15 mins. Our instructor (Will) was super awesome and gave us a safety demo and we had some practice runs before the games began. Overall it was a great time and a very enjoyable experience will go back again. read more

Came here for my stepdads birthday and had a blast! We brought a cake with us that we ended up not even eating while we were there, but they kept it in their fridge for us while we played! I loved the layout of the place, it felt open and airy while you were also in a cage to throw the axes. The decor was nice - bathrooms were small but ... not a problem! The employee that helped us and taught us how to throw the axe was really nice and funny! All of the employees there seemed to have great attitudes and it made for a fun time all around! Will definitely be coming back here again. read more

Axe me how I like it... I loved this!! I've heard of people doing this more often lately and glad I tried it! It's super fun, I did need to get the hang of it and didn't get the board the first few times. But they walk you through it, the instructors are engaging enough for needing to walk you through demos and safety rules, and they give you tips to help you throw better. You don't get any safety gear and our group did have a couple times where the axe kinda bounced back toward you. but it wasn't really that dangerous, at least imo. No one got hurt or even close! Overall I thought it was a really fun activity, good for team building and friendly competition, but the time does go by quick!! read more

Cool place, friendly & patient staff, good food and fun activity made for a fun and special surprise birthday party. Planning the party was easy due to an informed and enthusiastic sales staff. We were delighted with the whole experience. read more

This was my first time av throwing. I went with my family for my mom's 65th birthday. We had a blast. There is something for everyone. Our guide was so helpful and extremely funny. After we finished our round at the range we enjoyed great finger food from the bar. The Mac and cheese bites were amazing. We got two orders. The margarehita pizza was delish. They had tons of board games at different tables. And then we continued to enjoy drinks and listen to people do kareoke. It was an amazing night. The atmosphere was cozy and the staff was delightful. You can't go wrong hanging out with your friends at Kick Axe. read more

Kick Axe Throwing - Entry and throwing area - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

One of my favorite unique activities to date! Great beer, good snacks, and AXE THROWING! For $35pp, you get 75 minutes at the "range" with an axe throwing specialist. My boyfriend and I were paired with another couple, and we had a blast. The axe specialist taught us safety and proper throwing techniques for the first few minutes, we had a few practice throws, and then we played games! The axe specialist monitors the games: Who can get to 60 points first, "21," and "Around the World." The time flew by so fast while playing games. The bar is awesome! They serve my favorite cider, "Austin Eastciders!" There are also some tasty looking bar snacks. The interior is rustic meets outdoorsy. Wear your plaid shirts!! There's a cool Photobooth area with great props, Giant Jenga, and Giant Connect 4! Parking can be a little rough since it's street parking, but it's nothing like trying to find parking in Manhattan. read more

My organization had an holiday event at Kick Axe, and it was a great experience overall! I'll preface this by saying I work remotely from another state, and so I had to plan this event from a distance, and Lana Kamalova, the Event Manager, made it so easy for me! She was patient and flexible with my requests, and was very communicative throughout! We were able to come up with a proposal that gave us great drink, food and play options while staying within our budget! I received great feedback from my staff after the event saying how much fun they had, and Lana also reached out to let me know what a success the event ended up being - I wish I could have been there myself! Kick Axe is a great option if you're looking for a unique activity for a corporate event or just a casual event with friends! read more

Had a great time here! Our lane manager, Nick, was absolutely amazing!!! We are gonna definitely come back and request him. He really helped our group mesh and kept us engaged and had great presence. 100% recommend Everybody here seems to really enjoy there time here and was really fun and friendly read more

I came with a group of four on a weekend so we made reservations a few weeks in advance. When you walk in you check in with a host and fill out waivers, and then you can sit on their couches in the lounge area while you wait for your throw time! There are games and you can grab drinks or bites too so it's a great atmosphere. We ended up throwing with 10 people total in the double lanes. Our axe-pert taught us some technique things and went over safety, and then you get practice throws. Then we split into teams and played three fun games. I loved the experience and the interior is very on theme and rustic. Our axe-pert was knowledgeable and friendly, but wasn't super outgoing with our group. My only recommendation would have been to split us into groups so that we could throw at the same time as someone we came with (since everyone was basically in pairs), instead of randomly choosing them and having all friends on one team and some couples split up. Overall such a fun experience!! read more

I've always said an axe would be my go-to post-apocalyptic​​ weapon of choice. Kick Axe gave me the opportunity to test my theory out and I was right. Kick​ Axe is perfect for a date, friends, company bonding, really anything. I've been here on two different occasions and have had two different experiences​. The first​ was much quieter. I came with 3 other friends and we got a lane all to our selves. The second time, the place was BOOKED AND BUSY. I came for a date and we were paired in a team, but it was still a great time regardless. Get your axe puns ready because you will be asked for a team name. - The "Axe-perts" give you a quick training session on how to hold the axe, stand, and the proper​ throwing technique. ​They're honestly my second favorite part of the experience​e becasue their personalities are so dope. Once you look like you can throw the axe without decapitating anyone, they start the games. There are a few of them, but I feel like part of the fun is the reveal so I won't ruin it for first timers ;). Sessions run $35 per person for 70 minutes. However​, they often have coupons on their site so definitely​ check​ out their promotions tab before you book. ​ I was a little skeptical about mixing alcoholic​ beverages with axes, but it works. They offer a variety of hipster beers and ales that you can enjoy during your session. Key Info: -$35 per person per session​ (70 mins) -look on the promotions​ tab of the site before you book for deals -perfect for all events (dates, hangouts, office bonding time that you actually want to participate in) read more

This was a fun time! We were paired with a random couple; my husband and I had a blast!

Dope experience for anyone's birthday or celebration. Came in with a couple of friends and although the kitchen was closed, we were more than welcome to get food elsewhere delivered while we played. read more

Booked the 60min Session. This place is great. Right outside the entrance there's seats for groups to chill and drink and chat. As we enter we were greeted which is good. Showed our reservation and then we proceed to sign our waiver. We waited about 10 -15 mins before we start but the wait wasnt terrible as we order drinks and pizzas. While we wait theres photos area to take pictutes and board games around the wait area which is cool. After we wait we were taken to our lane and was told we would be put with another couple. Which i assume the reason for the wait. I was not expecting to be put with another group but our trainer explained why and we were okay with it cause the competition was on! Our trainer Q was amazing, he explained everything well and he was nice and patience. Love this energy and would most likely prefer to have him as my trainer again. Overall it was a fun experience and would return with more people. read more

Super fun! Our helper Miller was great and made the whole experience fun! Sarah was also awesome. Overall great way to spend a date night.

Oh my this place is great!! If you like to get drunk and handle sharp objects this is the place for you!!! If you want to be fully axe savy The instructor are knowledgeable and want to help you defined the was way to attack an "object" with an axe!! Noted when things get real grab an axe!! lol This is a large place great for groups and parties. I would dare even say a place to bring your co-workers(insert evil laughs)!! read more

I came here on a date on a Sunday afternoon for a 1pm reservation. Pros: it's definitely an interesting concept to participate in considering I've only lived in the city my entire life. I liked that there was connect 4 and jenga to keep you occupied as you wait for your reservation. The instructor was very thorough with safety and instructions and gave pointers on how to improve your throw. Cons: there really wasn't any. I will say if you're going with a smaller group your fun is what you make it especially since I came on an early Sunday. There were times I felt like our axepert felt robotic and rehearsed but I'm sure it's to make sure instructions are clear and everyone is safe. Overall, it was a cool experience, better than going to those pop up experience museums. read more

Had a great time!! Jake was our instructor and he was very patient, personable, and kind. He really took time to answer all our questions and showed us the proper techniques. By the end, I felt so comfortable throwing axes and kicking axe :) The woman at the bar was also such a fun vibe. Loved that they also had other board games in the seating area, where you can continue to hang and play. I also very much enjoyed the rum punch. I'd go back and I highly recommend! read more

There aren't many activities that are both fun and preparation for the end of the world. But throwing axes is definitely one of them. To be honest, I thought it was just a fad, but judging by the gigantic corporate crowd on a Friday afternoon, they're still doing great! I'm guessing this constant sense of impending doom has something to do with it. I was here around when they first opened for a Yelp Event (read my thoughts here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/elite-event-at-kick-axe-throwing-brooklyn?hrid=bZq6Ap55SJUrt5j_Vg5zkg), and it's still as fun as I remembered. Every time I tell people about this place, their reaction is always "axes and alcohol shouldn't mix". But guess what? They do! Luckily, they also have safety precautions to prevent accidents. Trust your axpert! Ours was Tom, and he was a cool dude. Speaking of drinks, they got beers and now they have this weird thing that's whatever the opposite of a refrigerator is. A heater? I dunno, but you can get canned hot chocolate or canned hot coffee. I went with their Stumptown cold brew, which was a whopping $7.50 for an 8 oz can. Luckily, it was on the work tab! Also because it was a work event, I won't begrudge them for being successful. But the groups next to us were gigantic and kept encroaching into our space. The one thing I will fault them for was our board was pretty torn up before we started, and because we're so talented, we basically destroyed the bullseye and could no longer reasonably hit any halfway through. They definitely replace them often (we could see/hear them drilling nonstop for the first 10-15 minutes we were there), so I guess we got the short end of that stick. But all in all, a fun place to bring a group! read more

My experience at kick axe would not have been a 5 star experience without our axe pro Miller. He not only was so helpful at tip and tricks on how to throw the axe but also brings an amazing vibe and is the life of the party. Highly recommend this place if you want a fun time and to learn how to throw a sharp object at a board properly (and request miller if he's available) read more

Very busy place. Stopped by here one Sunday afternoon with a group of 6. Reservations are made prior and payment is required during that time (we paid $38/per). They paired us up with an Australian family and gave us a guide. Every group has a guide to avoid injuries and they never leave you. He'll spend some time explaining how to properly throw the hatchet, where to stand, hand position and such. He'll then ask everyone to try to get a feel of it. Throwing hatchets is something that gets easier the more you do it. So we practiced for a bit then competed with the Australian family. Food wise we o lot had some beers and this weird hot chocolate drink in a can that tastes pretty good. I think it's from Belgium and they know chocolate so no wonder it was good. Overall, I'll come here again. Good atmosphere and vibe for some fun. read more

Kick Axe Throwing - The guide showing us how it's done. - Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I can't believe I almost forgot to leave a review for this place. Where do I start? It's a bar where you can throw axes at a target in individual lanes. My gfs and I will use any excuse to dress up in theme so of course we dressed in lumberjack gear. It was a lot of red flannel. We had a guy watching after us to make sure we were safe and weren't drinking while throwing. I learned how to hit a bullseye. Guys, I'm surviving the zombie apocalypse. I'm just saying The Walking Dead needs to hire me. That being said 10/10 I would come back next time I'm in New York. read more

Cool spot for a group. They keep things pretty organized and give great instructions on how to handle the Axe. The games are fast paced and fun. They have a bar with beer and wine... you will be too busy throwing an axe to worry about drinks (which is probably a good thing). They also have some board games and little living room area. I noticed they also have league nights which seems like fun. Overall a great experience with any group! read more

Been coming here since opening day. One of the original axe throwing spots in NYC. Went this past week and had a great time. Our Axepert Max was a cool dude who came up with some creative competitive games. Drinks were on point and the rest of the staff are cool. Looking forward to going again soon. read more

"Pent up anger, school kicking your behind, that cab driver cut you off twice on the same street? Well come right in and throw this axe, crap throw all these axes and feel the stress level dissipate." This should be their slogan. Every so often my HS track team arranges an "outing" and it just so happens the one who suggested this place has been living upstate for YEARS... he basically wanted practice with an axe as winter was slowly approaching. We made a reservation for 8 people and upon arrival I was in awe. This place really gave axes to people, provided guidance on throwing, gave ample warnings about potential dangers, but also turned out to be an experience id gladly relive a couple times more. The staff is well informed and VERY attentive so please follow their guidance. The place gives a cabin like feel and the entire layout is intended to keep people comfortable while having fun, wise choice in my book. Price: 4/5 Location: 4/5 Experience: 4/5 Staff/Service: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Food & Drink: 3/5 Cash and credit happily accepted...also you'll have to sign a waiver. read more

There are so many puns one could make when reviewing this place, so I will spare the reader and not make any - but this place was the BOMB DIGGITY. Walking into Kick Axe, my coworker and I didn't know what to expect. We were having a work team-bonding outing here, and did not realise the danger (and exhilaration) of throwing sharp metal at a wooden target. First and foremost - the aesthetic - they were going for a hipster take on a dark wooden cabin feel, with cages that reminded me of golf driving/baseball ranges. Almost all of the staff were lanky males except a woman here or there. They all seemed to be quirky and loved what they were doing. I can't remember the name of our guide/leader, but he had a blonde pontytail and an easy-going attitude. He provided expert scaffolding for us to "perfect" our technique, and I was happy that he set guidelines for us to feel safe. $35 got us axe-throwing for an hour and fifteen minutes in this hamster-cage smelling place, and while our group wristbands only got us unlimited soft drinks, a lot of us opted for paying our own alcohol. What could go wrong, right? Unbeknownst to me, this was such a seminal experience and I can't wait to come back on a date. KickAxe has a place in my heart! read more

I LOVE axe throwing. The first time I went was for a Yelp Elite event, and I've been hooked since. I planned a birthday get together with a group of 10 people on a Friday night and decided to try out axe throwing in Brooklyn since most of my friends are in the city. I usually go to a place in NJ for 2 hours with a Groupon and it's around $30 or so a person. I checked online and it's $35+tax here for 75 minutes lane time, and to reserve your own lane, you need 8 people at least. I didn't think an hour would be enough for all of us, but our axe master (possibly named Ben??) was great at moving us along. Each person got to throw 3 times each, and moved on to the next person. He was helpful throughout our time and we played a couple different games. We obviously got really competitive and Ben played a role in pinning us against each other to make it more interesting. Since we went through fairly quickly, an hour was probably a good amount of time. I definitely wanted to throw for longer, but some of the people in my group were getting tired already, so 75 minutes was enough. There's also a bar there and a cute area for you to take some photos with props. Overall, a fantastic time and would definitely come back again. read more

Super fun spot and great covid-safe group activity. I went with 7 of my friends as a birthday celebration and we all had a great time. I would recommend booking a slot online because It seems a little busy in terms of accepting walk-ins. You sign a waver and they assign an instructor to teach you how to throw. Staff is super friendly and if it's your birthday you get a free bottle of Prosecco! You can only eat and drink outside and they just have canned bottles of beer/wine + pizza so I would plan food separately but this was definitely a fun activity! read more
