The place is big and interesting. It was the first time I had done axe throwing and I made a reservation for date night with my husband. The food and beverage options are good and tasty. The staff is friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is fun and lively. It looks like a great place to celebrate a birthday or fun event. read more

The entire session was filled with thrill and glow in the dark boards. One hour isn't enough for how much fun we had, so we're definitely coming back.

Kick Axe Throwing - Bullseye - Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Easy online booking, excellent service, perfect atmosphere x aesthetic x branding, and well organized fun! Had a Daddy-Daughter day planned for my dads birthday x Father's Day while I was in town. What a perfect way to help my dad let off some steam while having real different fun with his daughter! Well, apparently online let me book 12:30 but they didn't open boards until 2pm. Thankfully, when I saw the time on Yelp and called to ask what could be done to suit my day schedule of plans they told me I could come at the time I paid. I'm proud of how the young girls handled that! Our axe coach was so kind, stayed with us & took our scores since he was bored lol. As a brand strategist, I'm a nerd for branding. Whoever came up with the quotes was genius. This place is instagrammable & full of hidden games for continued lounging experience. The area is nice & gentrifying though there is a nearby homeless hangout spot. Street Parking wasn't terrible at lunchtime on a Saturday. I highly recommend! Go, enjoy! read more

This was my first time back to axe throwing in YEARS. Did the place move? When I did Kick Axe like 4 years ago the place was just a generic warehouse without anything as cool and classy as I saw this time around. There are a bunch of cool signs to take pics with and the vibe is just... well, cabin-ish is a good way to describe it. My friends and I sat at the bar area while one of us checked in and signed up for axe throwing. We had about an hour to kill, so we got drinks and food. I got the hummus, because I love trying different places' recipes. It was served with cucumbers and bread -- both which complimented it well. The hummus was indeed a little saltier than I typically prefer, but delicious nonetheless. I got the blueberry margarita and a glass of Urban Winery Riesling. Their happy hour prices are $7 wines, $10 specialty cocktails and some discounted apps. That was definitely one of the best flavored margaritas I ever had. The Riesling was tasty too, but the marg shined. When it was time to go throw axes, we were signaled for which targets to go to, and we were allowed to bring our food and drinks. I said it back then, but I STILL think it's a dangerous combination to be able to drink and throw axes under one roof. Anyways, Omar gave us instructions on how to throw, where to stand, etc. and I picked it up faster than I thought I would. Muscle memory I guess! I lost count of the bullseyes I got, but I sadly couldn't get my single arm throws back, grrrr. Given how many parties he was checking on, Omar was generous and was always willing to give us tips. There are also some lounge areas nearby with board games, tic tac toe and such. The place is a vibe, seriously. And with Throw Social right upstairs, there's definitely something for everybody. Great place! read more

Kick Axe Throwing - One of many cool signs - Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This place took my axe throwing virginity and WOW I'm hooked! It is genuinely such a fun group activity. Also can be pretty competitive. It's harder than it looks, but with a little practice you can master it. The Axe Pros are really helpful and fun too. If you're planning to go, be sure to wear close toed shoes, otherwise you'll have to borrow some of the crocs they have on hand. read more

This place is great time. It's so much fun to go and have a drink or two and throw some axes.

We had a great time at Kick Axe! A group of 5 of us had drinks, chips and guacamole, wings and booked for an hour. It was plenty of fun and the crowd was good. Our host Taco was awesome! We had spent and hour prior upstairs at the sister venue throw social and it was not a great experience. We had a much better time at Kick Axe. read more

It was fun you just got to be able to throw the axe n follow the rules it's nothing to hard if u can't pick up the axe ask for the smaller one its way lighter and make sure u have fun its a lot more over there to enjoy but remember close toe shoes it was our mistake ! read more

Our instructor JJ was amazing! My family went and had a great time. Would recommend to everyone!

Service: bad. Atmosphere: great. The service upstairs and downstairs was terrible. Bartenders were rude and once they even forgot about our drinks and we had to ask a manager to find someone to make them after 45 minutes. The axe instructor Taco was great! Throw social is upstairs and the axe area is downstairs. For upstairs, it's such a cool atmosphere and it feels like you're outside but you're not. There's live music on some nights (I went on a Saturday night). The drinks were fairly priced, mine was $13. Some were good, some were not. Apparently the indoor tents can be booked for $300 but doesn't include any drinks or games. I had asked a waitress and that's what she said. But there are other seats and tables and little games and board games too. read more

Kick Axe Throwing - Drink and axe area - Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Now this is my kinda fun and food!!! The decor was so beautiful and i think it was all the green that drew me in along with all the textiles and prints! They were throwing axes on the first floor and there was this "cabana beach vibe" at the top. The bartender was so sweet, he made me a drink (I wasn't really wanting anything to drink) and that pink situation was so tart and yummy! The tacos were good too. It was the vibe for me: colors, prints, textiles, etc... will be back for sure!! I might throw an Axe or three next trip!! read more

I enjoyed my visit to Kick Axe. I must say, the bartenders are friendly, fun and the drink selection is phenomenal. I got the lemon drop and tequila sunrise. They both were delicious. We did a round of axe throwing which was super fun. I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did. Once you get the hang of it, it gets real competitive. We had an amazing time and everyone was extremely nice. Their Covid standards were up to par as well. I love the accommodations they made to ensure everyone was having a safe time while also socially distancing. 10/10 read more

The minute you walk in (actually even before), you get the feeling the owners/operators really put some time into designing this place. It is quite simply the most "instagrammable" place I've been to in a year. The furniture is a combination of pop/lumberjack/rave/neon sign homage. The bar is large and ample. The bays for each set of targets are comfortable and filled with kitschy signage. I made a reservation on the 4th of July for my family (me, wife, 15 and 17 year olds) and two adult friends. We. Had. A. Blast. Our instructor, Rob, was extremely chill, and very patient with us. We lucked out since literally no one else was in the establishment (and you have to spend a little time exploring Ivy City and its amazing restaurants, cideries, brewery, and coffee spots). And did I mention throwing an axe is a blast? It was. Our sons loved it, and I was very pleased with the safety steps the facility takes to ensure that everyone leaves with the same number of digits they came in with. I will definitely recommend this place (and plan on bringing friends and family here for a long time.) read more

It's something different to do. The axe bounces off a lot. The guys who help you are great and nice. We couldn't get the bar tenders to wait on any of us. Also when we ordered from the servers it took forever and we were hungry. I am glad we went once but not sure if we would go again. The pretzels were good. The tacos too bland. read more

Great venue, music playlist was cranking! Comfy lounge seating areas. The staff was pleasant and helpful. Drinks are a little on the strong side. Food is good. Not much seating near Axe station, area is a little cramped, if you have big group some will be standing. Axe throwing is not easy, I would go again if invited to another event. read more

A fun experience! I came with no reservations with a group of 8 coworkers. They were able to get us set up in a lane in about 15 minutes. After a quick explanation we off chucking axes at the board. I would not recommend the food, which was mediocre to bad. The drinks were fine but the bartender was friendly. read more

This place was such a fun time. You can go for just the girls or on a date. The place itself is super cute. The bartenders are really nice and helpful. The staff in general are. The people explain everything really well when time to throw and go over safety issues. The food and drinks were bomb! We had such a good time. By the time we left we were litt so much fun ! read more

VERY FUN activity, whether it be for a date night or a girls' hang! I've done this activity for both and enjoyed my time each time! The axe throwing experts are fairly attentive and motivated to helping you enjoy your experience. They offer great tips and instructions for you to get a bullseye, or at least hit the board lol. The food was okay, regular bar fare and the waitstaff could've been more attentive as I had only seen my waiter once to place an order. Other than that minor issue, I highly recommend this place for something new and fun to try! read more

Terence was an exceptional bartender, and the drinks were amazing and the Dj was superb.

Came to Kick Axe for a birthday celebration and everyone in our party of four enjoyed the experience. The groups were evenly spaced out and hand sanitizers were available everywhere providing for a safe and secure place to have fun. The place is decorated beautifully and is perfect for pictures! We loved the cabin/homely ski resort aesthetic of the place. I would also recommend checking out the second floor of the venue- Throw Social. It has a fun summer flair and gorgeous decorations. read more

VISIT THIS PLACE ASAP!!!!! I must say that first! After living in DC for 10 years, I can confidently say this is one of the top spots I've been to for just an all-around amazing time with excellent drinks, outstanding customer service (Andre!!!!) and incredible entertainment! We accidentally went to the wrong spot first (use caution: there's another axe throwing place close by and it's NOTHING like this spot) so we called to say we wouldn't be there the 20 minutes early that they suggest. I do suggest you get there those 20 minutes as you have to sign waivers, get drinks and then listen to instruction. Luckily there was nobody blocked for our lane after us so they were very accommodating and it was no big deal. You will walk in and want to spend several minutes just taking in the scenery. The decor and neon signs are spectacular. It's an IG paradise for sure. I recommend going at least 30-45 minutes early so you can have a drink or 2 first. There are tables and couches and a fireplace to enjoy while you wait. Our axe-throwing guide was Andre and he was SO FUN! He was entertaining and such a joy for the entire group. He also came by nonstop to give us tips and advice on how to throw. I went from not being able to hit any part of the wood to getting the bullseye several times before we left. He would also clean our empty cups from the area and he just ensured our time spent there was absolutely enjoyable. When you're done, GO UPSTAIRS! Do not leave without at least visiting their sister spot (Throw Social) upstairs. You can read my review of that spot next. TIPS: Make sure you are going to Kick Axe and not another spot! Get there early! AT LEAST 20 minutes but to really enjoy it, have a pregame drink and be able to take everything in, I say 45 minutes. We had a group of 5 and it was a good number. I would say 6 is good per booth. More than that, split up and get another booth because this ensures everyone gets plenty of chances to throw. read more

We, of course, got all the rules and safety procedures, but they also came by with tips and encouragement.

My party and I really enjoyed axe throwing and the ambience of the place this past Saturday. Additionally, the axe throwing instructor was wonderful and knowledgable(Alexandro). However, we were disappointed in the service because it took over an hour to order and get our food and drinks because there was only 1 server. by the time food and drinks arrived our axe throwing session was over. With the amount of money I paid for a party of 8, I expected better service. Overall, I would recommend Kick axe because it's a unique experience to be enjoyed with good company, but be ready for slow service. read more

This is really one of my favorite places thks to Jess! At first the vibes seemed kinda Wei and we were gonna find something else to do. Jess literally sensed our apprehension and encouraged us to grab a drink and try the axes. As some who loves throwing things especially with a great drink in hand, this was perfect!!! Thank you Jess an kick axe for a fun time. read more

Loved our time at Kick Axe and Eric Suspensky was amazing. Very informative and attentive to everyone on the group, took extra time to coke back and help some on those that weren't as comfortable throwing axes. Only negative was that we ordered food at the window however our order was lost and the food wasn't made till our time was up. Atmosphere was fun and they have tons of other table top games you can play while waiting for your lane time to start or if you need more bragging rights cause you kicked everyone's ass in axe throwing. Highly recommend going here just place a food order about 10-15 minutes before your lane time begins, that way you can play, eat, drink and KICK AXE! read more

Kick Axe Throwing - Kick Axe - Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This is the perfect date night experience for you & your partner or make it a couple night with the friends. Best part is it's right across from a parking garage so the hassle of finding parking in DC doesn't exist. It's a beautiful layout 2 floors multiple bars & things to do if you're not a big fan of axe throwing. The only one thing that was a minor disappointment was it's not a real large selection of food so advised to eat before you come. It was limited options like wings, pizza, & like finger foods. But the wings with the whiskey sauce were awesome. One of the major pluses was the service our instructor was super friendly & fun helped all of us learn the proper way of axe throwing & he constantly kept checking on us. Plus he is a great cameraman lol. But the biggest surprise that win you extra date points was they have live bands that come in & perform. And the prices are great like I said if you're looking for a date night or something for the gang to do this is a go. read more

This place is amazing! From the time you walk in, you can feel the vibe! Neon signage, life sized animal sculptures, and an outdoorsy feel in an urban-chic way‼ You have to experience it to understand. The staff is professional and attentive and bring their personal flavor to their work. Amazing drinks and food. Fun for all ages, singles or couples. And the hidden gem of it all is Throw Social upstairs. If you don't want to have fun then this is not the place for you! The fun is infectious‼ read more

I know what you're thinking, why would anyone want to be around people who are drinking and are throwing axes? Buuuuut trust me, it is a safe and very fun environment. I have been here twice once with friends, and again on a date - so yes, this venue gives you the perfect environment to have fun in no matter the occasion or group size. You enter Kickaxe on the second floor by going up the steps in front. If you have any mobility issues they have an elevator that can be used on the ground floor. The check-in desk is to the left of the room. My few times visiting I had nothing, but great service. My first time throwing was with Raddy (so sorry if I am spelling that wrong). He was great, gave us clear rules and allowed us to have fun. He even helped my date and I feel comfortable with the other couples that were there. I also commend him for being fearless when one of the ladies was scaring everyone else. The perfect part of the night was me carrying my team lol. My second time there my friends and I threw with Beazy, also a good choice for a fun evening. I highly recommend everyone to visit this location, and I guarantee that I will be a regular. The cost is about $32 a person for an hour, trust me well worth it and much cheaper than going to the shooting range. read more

My boyfriend and I came here for our date night last night, Friday! I was super nervous because you know.... Axe throwing but it was the most fun we've had in a while. From when I greeted by the host to the instructors, everyone was so nice. We did get an appetizer and it was okie, drinks were kinda expensive but we already knew that. After we were done we got to up stairs to the club area and that was a good time as well. Great music! Definitely going again(: read more

This was a great activity for my friends and I. We had so much fun, the hour went by so fast. A stress reliever that is super satisfying. Definitely coming back. Omar, our instructor was awesome. He gave great suggestions and was funny. Just FYI, get drinks prior to your axe time because the bar is the only way to get drinks and you don't want to waste all your time trying to get a drink during your hour. Or like my group, alternate a bar person who isn't throwing =). read more
