My friends and I were looking for something fun and a little bit different to do so we decided to try out axe throwing at BATL. It was a great night! After arriving and getting set up we were taught the basics by our wonderful instructor Averi who helped us out and got us all throwing fairly accurately after a couple of practice rounds. Once we were all hitting the boards Averi set us up for a small tournament (group of 6). We started with head to head matches in a round robin and then had elimination rounds to finally crown a champion (me lol). It was tons of fun the whole way though. BATL has 8 lanes an can accommodate any size group. Our group of 6 was on 2 lanes and I believe any group over 12 gets 4 lanes. They also have a small bar with drinks and snacks to keep you fueled up while the axes are flying. The staff at BATL is amazing. Our instructor Averi was super fun and very helpful. She took the time to make sure everyone knew what they were doing and was just really fun to hang out with between rounds. Everyone else from BATL was very helpful and accommodating as well. It was nice to see people who really enjoyed their work and they made the mood there something special. We will definitely be back again. This place is a keeper for sure.

BATL is more than just a place to throw axes. It's a family. I joined a league here after my old…read moreaxe throwing location closed down, and I was immediately welcomed like a friend. It's not just the staff (though, the staff are all great, especially Averi), the other members are all amazing too. My wife is now a league member as well and our thirteen month old daughter always comes with us. She's also been welcomed by everyone as part of the BATL family, and as dangerous as axe throwing sounds, it's one of the places I feel safest with my daughter, and letting her hang out with other people. Definitely check this place out. Even if you only go for a night and don't join a league, I promise that you'll have an amazing time and feel like part of the BATL family by the time you leave. If you join a league though, join Sunday!

The facility itself is very clean and has 4 bays for axe throwing. They do have a parking lot but it's on the smaller side so I would advise parking on the street as it's easier. I'm not a beer or ale drinker but they did have a few selections here that everyone seemed to enjoy. This would be a nice date night activity or even something different to do for your birthday. Highly recommend. Also, Becca and Hyde (or was his name Clyde. Sorry if I mixed up his name ) were also awesome. Very kind and personable.

We booked an appointment for a Friday evening w/ the family (as we were visiting our daughter from out of town). We booked an hour, I believe there are two-hour slots too. There is a bar on site, but honestly we didn't have much time to drink w/ all the throwing. We had plenty of instruction and safety was a priority. You do get a list of what you can't wear when you book online. This is a fun family event or possible team event. After some initial tossing and getting used to the axes, we played a handful of games. Seriously, if I lived here, I'd do this often. We were the only ones present, hopefully others find this place too.

You get the instruction and the tips on how to throw the hatchet and then boom, you're off and running. (Not actually running, but you know what I mean.) The instructors are all great and really liven up the whole experience while also giving you tips along the way. This kind of activity really brings out the competition in people in the best way. Many of us had ever thrown hatchets before and those who had, aren't masters by any means. It was just a really enjoyable time to all try something new together. The drinks help too! Not with the throwing (I mean I don't think so) but with keeping the spirits high and having a good ol' time. The space itself is very big but with the cages for throwing, it can get a little tight with a lot of people. There is a bar there with some great beers on tap including the mystery beer which is always fun to try to guess. Food is limited to mostly pub grub but honestly, you're here to throw hatchets, not eat a ton. The pizza we had was good though so check that out. Overall, this is a really cool place to try out. And hey, if you like it, they even have weekly leagues here you can join and get better and continue the fun.

If you've never tried axe throwing, make this the first place you go! Now, on to the details. My husband and I got here first, and to our dismay, the door to the building was locked. A quick phone call to the owner fixed this, however, as he came out forthwith to let us in. If yo have this problem, don't worry. They appreciate your business and won't leave you waiting that close to a cemetery. This space is pleasantly surprising. It's loud when you first walk in (because axes), but you get used to the noise quickly. There are 3 lanes and we reserved the middle one. Once our friends arrived, another owner came over and explained the rules of axe throwing in general and they game you can play. I learned a few things, including how terrible I am at axe throwing! The two people on duty (who I believe are the co-owners) were SO friendly and accommodating. One of the reservations didn't go through, so they allowed us to stay later than the end time and play another game. This prompted my husband to whisper "give them a good review." Like I wasn't going to already! This place is a hidden gem in Batavia. Run, don't walk, to place a reservation and get a bang for your buck! They even let us bring a pizza in, for crying out loud! Have fun and tell them the awkward blonde girl from Yelp sent you!

Upon arrival, I found the facility very modern, clean and organized. They had several tables in the middle for dine-in. The axe throwing cages were large, each with 2 lanes and firm fence all around. It was easy go in and out of the lane and interact with friends. There also had several drinks and alcohol available at the bar/register counter. At the beginning a staff member briefed us the axe throwing process and assisted us with first few throws. Then we played about 6 rounds of games. The boards were in pretty bad condition, as they were being for a long time. Bullseye and other markings almost faded away. After that, we tried the daggers for few rounds. None of us could really stick the daggers in the board. The cost came about $36 CAD per person for about 45 minutes. Overall we had a good fun time. They staff were friendly and helpful.

Although they have food options available, I was amazed to find out that I was able to order in the food of my choice (see review for Bosphorus). BATL set up our area for our spread and provided us with plates and utensils. Upon arrival, we were provided with comprehensive instructions on how to throw by our amazing instructor, Angel. Her enthusiasm was next level and right from the start, she had the team engaged and excited. The couple of hours we had booked flew bye and everyone had a great time. I would definitely recommend booking them for any type of event.
