We had a great experience! This is perfect for any group looking for fun entertainment. Our kids (13&8) had a blast! I was a little nervous about the location, but it was fine! The decor and place was decorated perfectly. The staff was so helpful and kind! The drinks were great as well! We could have thrown another hour for sure, time flew by. read more

Terrible! I went with a few friends to check this new place out. Nothing really special about it. Drinks are just as overpriced as any other place in Ivy City. I ordered one drink downstairs and got a tall glass, the same drink in the upstairs bar came on a short glass/tumbler. What really made us feel like not coming back was the manager: He seemed to be angry for some reason and gave out an unprofessional vibe. To be completely honest with you, this place will only make the neighborhood become gentrified. Quick! The demographics of the place is mostly white in their 30s to mid 40s read more

This is a great place to bring a group of friends for an fun night out. It's a very lively place, it was packed when I went, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Our instructor quickly taught us how to throw an axe, it really quite easy. I had two bullseyes! We didn't try any food or drinks, but they have plenty of both. I'd recommend this spot and will definitely go back. read more

These people are rude as hell. Literally there is no reason for it. We walked in and immediately they were being rude. Nothing subtle either. They were going out of their way to be assholes. I'm very curious who trained this staff. I get not liking your job, but I didn't tell you to work here. read more

Went on Saturday afternoon. The location is super convenient and close to a parking garage. The employees were friendly and helpful. They provided me with a lighter axe that helped my throws considerably. The drinks looked good and food look tasty but didn't get anything to eat. read more

Had a fantastical time at Kick Axe last night. I've been wanting to go for ages, but none of my friends showed any type of interest - Luckily, my new boyfriend did, so yay to BDE. We were part of group with two other couples (which was a bit concerning due to the pandemic and now everyone is socially awkward, but it was actually fun). Takes a few tries to get it right, but once you do, you feel like an olympian. Will definitely be back again and recommend for a fun date night. ** when it comes to food, options are limited especially if you're a vegan, but the hummus/naan was yummy. read more

Djay as supper great and helpful. The staff here are amazing. Totally recommend this place for Axe throwing

great food! amazing service and great ambiance! Charlie helped make our experience unforgettable!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Kick Axe. Great place, comfortable setting, service was wonderful. Can't wait to go back.

So @kickaxedc and @throwsocial have teamed up in DC to provide a cool experience! You can hang out with friends throwing axes, football bowling and curling There are drinks, food and music. What more could you want? Well they have a friendly and nice staff that will help you out throughout your experience.

If you are looking to go sign up on their website so you don't have to wait. Also, weekends after 9pm are 21+ read more

This place is so much fun and the atmosphere/decor is so trendy. The drinks were really good and strong but the food was not that great. It was like frozen food that they heated quickly and served to absorb some of the alcohol. If you want a really good meal, eat before you come here. For the ladies, there is a fair amount of seating, but wear flats. Even though the food was less that stellar, I still give this place a 5. It's that much fun! We did axe throwing but will definitely try football bowl next time. read more

Such a nice vibe. I went with my bestfriend but definitely a good date night spot. I've always wanted to do this and this place did not disappoint. The drinks were strong! Would return read more

Came to throw social they said good things about this place so me and my boyfriend decided to check it out. The host who was working by the elevators short was so rude (this was literally just a few minutes ago) and had an attitude because we were telling her it was our first time and she kept saying you have a reservation or not with her rolling her eyes. Not sure why she's a host to begin with if she gonna have that type of attitude and is not a people person. I literally told her I'm not spending my money for shit ass service like hers. Disappointed to say the least as she ruined our experience literally just walked out. Throw social was much better and had nicer staff. read more

I had a corporate event here for a group of 15. Everything from food selection and drink tickets were worked out smoothly in advance with the event coordination staff. We rented 2 ranges for 2 hours. Most of the team had not been axe throwing before. We showed up and had one of the experts give us tips for throwing and he set up a few games. Several people told me it was an awesome event! Very fun atmosphere, good staff to work with, good food, and not too crowded for a weekday. Afterwards we went up to the Throw Social bar which was also a great vibe! read more

I was in town for a work conference and was asked to put together a corporate event on very short notice. I reached out via Yelp and Ana replied immediately. Within 2 hours, we had worked out a 3 hour event starting with axe throwing and wrapping up upstairs in the lounge. The staff was friendly and accommodating and our team had a great time. Thanks for helping me pull off a great team event! read more

It was our first time at Kick axe to celebrate my husbando's 40th birthday and we had SO much fun. Drinks and food were great, loved the atmosphere and axe throwing was a blast! Will definitely go back. read more

Omar was stellar. Helped our group become acclimated with axe throwing and always gave us feedback on how to get a bullseye!

If it wasn't for Sam my experience here would be sub par. She was very friendly and engaging. She is able to handle big obnoxious groups while still being able to take care of mine. I wish there was a way to compensate her more because she creates a fun environment w/ no judgement and she's so funny!!! I wish I knew about tipping the facilitators cause they can only get tips in cash or using money apps which I don't have sadly :( I will definitely be coming back for my bday just to see her and give her what she deserves! Ask for her and you will be pleased! The bar was slow but the drinks are great, I wish they had more bartenders to make it smoother cause I had to wait 10 mins before I got some help. Also they could have a weekend HH cause the drinks are $10-$14 average. The place looks fabulous! Super CUTE! I took a bunch of cool pics there! Downstairs and upstairs are two different vibes and I love it! Cool lil place to try if you live in the area and wanna have some fun! Can't wait to throw axes and try curling next! read more

This place is a cool experience if you've never been before. It's a cool Paul Bunyan chic kind of vibe. The music was nice. The people working there are friendly. My husband really enjoyed throwing the axe. It's definitely a workout. I'd say it may take you at least half your session to get the correct technique down if you've never done it before. You can pay for either a private throwing lane or a lane you have to share. It wasn't busy when we went so we were able to have a lane to ourselves even though we didn't pay for a private lane. A nice employee, this guy who went by an initial- I think it was H. maybe- was cool and thoroughly explained the whole process and went thru the scoring and some game options with us. After we were done throwing the axes, we went over to the bar area and hung out for a while. We ended up ordering the pretzels and beer cheese which wasn't bad. I do wish they had some more options on the menu. The crowd was very diverse so I can't imagine anyone feeling unwelcome there. Its def a cool spot to meet up with friends and have a good time. They also had some additional bar games. I'd recommend it to others looking for something fun to do. read more

Me and a group of friends wanted to try a new place Friday night and booked 2 axe throwing lanes to give it a shot. We wanted to try something different rather than our local bar scene. At first we were skeptical, but the ace throwing turned out to be a hit. We were greeted by our own " axe guy" that showed us how to throw axes on a target and we had some great laughs and got a little more competitive as the drinks came in. After our hour session we wanted to check out upstairs, and it was a pleasant surprise to see how colorful and huge this place is. We ended up doing the football bowling and my wife, surprisingly was nailing the last pins. We'll definitely be coming back, we loved the vibrant atmosphere and the different fun options. Btw after about 2 mind eraser cocktails I was throwing spirals. read more

Pros: The spot has a great vibe and cute decorations. They have a nice lounge area for after throwing. A very fun indoor activity during the winter months. Cons: Location isn't great, with limited parking options. I recommend the parking ramp across the street. Not a cheap activity though for $30 per person for just an hour-- and they are strict about the 60 minutes. If you want drinks, order then BEFORE your 60 minute clock starts because they can take a while. My friend missed 20 minutes of axe throwing waiting to get served and have his drink made. read more

The bartender, who was a male, was very rude and cursed under his breath when i asked him about ice. Also took a long time for one of them to even give us some service. The place was too crowded and the service was really slow. read more

This is a great activity if your as a couple or in a group. This is my second time & I had even more fun. It may take some time to get the hang of it but once you get some drinks in, you'll be good. The bar & food is delicious as well. This place is a vibe & it gets a 10 out of 10 must try again for me! read more

Throw Social provided a fun atmosphere to have a business meeting while also having fun. It's a good mix of work and play. The food was excellent and the staff was very attentive throughout the two-hour event. read more

This place is so fun! I love that you get to try something new (axe throwing) and also get some fun cocktails and meet other people. The instructor made me feel really comfortable throwing the axe and even gave us some pointers. The drinks were really good except the bartenders were extremely busy and it did take a while to get a drink. The management should definitely hire more bartenders for the weekends. Overall a really fun experience and I'd def go back! read more

I thought this place was cool. We had a reservation for ax throwing at 8 on a Friday night but got there early so we had a drink and an appetizer at the bar. The food took some time to arrive but tasted ok when it arrived. Even though our reservation was at 8, they got behind so they told us to check back in at 815 so we did. We started throwing at 815, but at 9, out coach told us our session was over, which was wrong because we didn't get started until 815. Irritating to say the least but it ended up working out in the end. When we finished, we went upstairs to a whole other area where there were tables, games, food, music, and drink! It's pretty cool up there! I love how the place is decorated...clearly someone has an eye for style. I'd come again. read more

We had such a great time. This was my groups first time going to any axe throwing. They were all extremely helpful... I'm terrible with names, the guy that helped us was extremely help in making sure that we kept safe. I would definitely recommend and I will be returning!!! read more

Great atmosphere and great employees! Highly recommend to anybody who wants to do something different and fun!!

The employees and bartenders were super friendly and they sympathized that my third guest (sister) was running late .The two male managers were also proactive and helpful. Shay at the bat is so cute read more

Me and friends had so much fun. It was definitely something different to do that engages everyone. I'm only giving 4 stars because I need a little more food options. I had the beef short rib which was cooked well and was tasty. However I felt like I needed some more side options. At the end of the day you really don't come here to eat and we had a blast. Just eat before you come :). read more

Cash was a great host!!! Go check out Kick Axe Throwing! Such a fun event for the weekends with friends!

11/3/21 4:30pm Axe time slot. I checked in at 4:15pm and went to the bar while waiting for our booth area. The lady bartender was rude and dismissive. I asked if she was the bartender and she replied with an eye roll, "yes but I'm still prepping". I just sat there and the bartender NEVER asked if needed anything or wanted a drink. Without a drink, we were seated with another group of two even though no other lanes were in use. NOBODY else was there and yet they still put two strange parties together. The place was empty. The drinks were good but the shade was not. Stop putting strangers together when you have so many open lanes. Our instructor was nice and personable. Probably won't return on my own. read more

Such a great experience! We have been there 3 times now and we love it. So many wonderful staff who are very interested in making sure you have a great time. read more

I hosted a work party at this location and we had an amazing time. It was a very easy setup process and were very flexible working with us on different dates and headcounts. The food was amazing and we had our own bartender for the event too. The food we had was the Pretzels with Cheese, Buffalo Chicken Empanadas, Mac and Cheese Bites, and Steak Skewers. Our team had so much fun learning how to axe throw and compete against each other. I highly recommend this space for groups of any size! Shoutout to Brittany, Monte, Omar, David, H, Delia, Leo, and Frank for helping with our event! read more

Surprisingly on a Saturday night the service wasn't bad! We had a great time axe throwing. I just wish they had better music and better food choices. read more

My family had a blast here! The place is so well designed and decorated, it is BEAUTIFUL. My kids don't care much about that, but they loved both ax throwing and football bowling. My husband and I will come back without the kids for a date night. We loved the whole experience! read more

Manny took care of us with the enthusiasm and notes that made the evening great! Fast service and great drinks from the bar as well.

Manny was the best. He had the most infectious energy and provided effective technique advice for throwing. Our experience would not have been the same without him. Can't wait to return and ask for him! read more
