On that site there's no address, email, phone number, or link to the website on this yelp page* This place stinks. Literally and figuratively. When walking in I got hit with the smell of animal poop like I was at a farm. Finding this place was kind of annoying because it's inside this republican bar buts it's listed as Celtic ax throwing instead of what ever the bar is. The website has no phone number or address. The bar, Strombreaker Brewing St. John's, has no signs for the rage room on the building Even tho it's inside the bar. You have to Google Maps search for Rage Room Portland by its self to find it. The guy who helped us through the process when we got there was rude. His breath was soooo bad I had to make sure I was 10 steps away from him at all times. Every time I asked a question he started to get angry for some reason. They don't have a place for you to securely put your purse so you have to just leave it out in the open bar. They don't have a table or anything to smash stuff on. Just two tires for you to put the bottles on. Some of the bottles fell off because it's not well balanced. When I asked if we could have a few to replace the ones that broke he started getting all angry and frustrated saying no. So I let it go. The wording is vague when buying the room. When you get the medium stuff to break it says "small electronics, a vase, and something else. When we got there the had set out a single VCR tape player. I was confused because the way it's worded made it sound like you get it all but that's not true. You only get 1 of those items and you don't get to pick it out. When I asked the guy about it he, again probably because it's too much for his little brain to comprehend, started getting frustrated with me for asking a simple question. Again I let it go but I shouldn't have. I bought an extra box of ceramics to break, but it turns out they don't actually have any ceramics even though they have it up for sale. It was just an extra box of empty liquor bottles, which they ended up telling me they get for free and then charge you 15 bucks for it. Apparently when you order online it doesn't charge for the whole party. Only what you got to break and 1 person. Before breaking things you think they would charge you for the rest of the party, but they don't. When we were done and about to leave, the guy asked me why I was leaving without paying. Again I was confused and asked him what he meant. And, again, he started getting upset by like I should know that after you break things and you are leaving you then have to pay for the rest of the party. How that makes any sense, I don't know. They charge you at an iPad station set up right in front of the ax throwing that has no back gate on the first stall. Meaning if you're checking out and someone goes to throw an ax and it slips out of their hand, it's gonna hit you right in the skull. So that's pretty cool. To sum up my review: this bar, strombreaker brewing St. John's, is a bar that saw all the money a rage room can bring in. So they made an awful rage room, put mouth breathers in charge, and charge you for items they purposely mislead you on. I'd spend your money literally anywhere else.

If you haven't been Axe throwing before, well, it sounds exactly like what it is. You are given an axe and you throw it at a target made out of wood. They also have one set of sharp shovels that you can throw. I think this is a good place for team building. Get food at the carts then throw an axe. I will knock down a star tho, because of the openness of the place, randos will walk up and interrupt you. If they added some stanchions or something to like block public access, that would be nice.

We found Celtic Axe Throwers when looking for something new and unique to do. Here's how it went:…read more This location is inside of the large and overly busy "BG's Food Cartel" (giant food cart pod), and parking is huge challenge. There's one main public lot for the entire area, and there are not enough parking spaces. Street parking is distant and limited. The axe-throwing experience itself was OK. it was mostly fun, but nothing I found to be compelling enough to do again, especially considering the price (it's about a dollar a minute, before any tips). While our instructor was great (I'd have not been able to hit even the rough vicinity of the target without his expert instruction, and he took photos for us), the condition of the axes and the targets were very inconsistent. My companion's axe steadily degraded with parts falling off of it as the night went on, and it was only after her axe head was very loose and at risk of falling off of the handle that the instructor finally fetched a different one for her to use. This seems like it would be a good team-building exercise for a work group, or for competitive axe throwers to hone their skills, but as a casual item, to me, it was worth doing once, but probably not again.

During the game play we could ask for clues, we needed many, ha, ha. The clues they gave were helpful and helped us push on to eventually solve it with only less than a minute on the clock. We did the Tales from the Attic room. I won't give away any of the room, I will only say it was kind of like a mystery game of hang man to fill in the clues as we found them. It was different than other escape rooms I have done, but it was fun figuring out the clues to fill in the puzzles. I believe they have 4 different escape rooms here and I am sure they are all just as fun. If you are looking for a fun group activity, work outing, birthday party, etc. I would recommend an escape room and if in the Portland area check out Escape Games PDX. If you solve the game, you can pick a little key trinket as well and go up in the leader board if you solve it fast enough. We unfortunately did not make the leader board. Enjoy!

We did the Prison Heist room because a couple of us had never done an Escape Room before and it seemed like a perfect starter room. Loved that the room is non-linear and the clues were all cohesive. You had a choice of dressing the part as they had inmate costumes readily available. The door is never locked so you can get out if needed. Also, for this room, there is no clock. Your gamemaster will let you know once you have 30 and 10 minutes left. Jake gave us fantastic clues and didn't make us feel like idiots for asking. I feel like we asked for only maybe a handful of clues. We escaped with about 11 minutes to spare. Loved that they had merch for each specific room. Makes it easier to grab a souvenir. We also were able to pick out a tiny key as our prize for escaping. Cute touch. Good job, Escape Games PDX!

I booked during late Sunday afternoon for a Monday 10am session, and it went as smooth as it can get. Our host James did a fantastic job, totally in character from the moment he opened the door, and always showed enthusiasm through out the experience. Most of the clues require some thinking and wasn't particularly hard, but we would have been stuck if we didn't holla at James a couple times for help. We finished with three minutes to spare, I believe this is a good escape room for smaller group that isn't super experienced. For anyone that is more cautious around Covid stuff like us, our host had his mask on properly the entire time. Thank you for an awesome experience James!

Be ready when you pull up because it's just an old apartment building diverted into "offices" there is little street parking so do not leave things in your car! Make sure everyone is with you when you knock on the door, my hubby walked away to the bathroom the second we did so the guide had to do the intro twice but he was fantastic! The room got hot (it is very small, maybe 8x8) so wear something comfy and just a side note outta normal BUT you can't bring your purse in with you, and there isn't a safe place to lock your stuff up, just in the room your guide is in. We spent 150 for 5 people to play which .. Really is pretty expensive, that is pretty much my only con especially since it was a tiny room with most things coming from the good will .

Just based on the dearth of activities for kids of a certain age out here, I know airsoft was going to come into the equation. I used to take the family's terrible 1983 Ford F-250 to the auto repair shop around the corner (now gone), and always wondered how this place was. Answer: A very mixed bag. First off, I want to thank the staff up front who was great with helping me out on this first trip. I'd done a lot of paintball back east, but hadn't had much experience with airsoft. They made sure I was all taken care of and wasn't going to be in a position where I got hurt or hurt someone else. If this was just a shop? Five stars. But the playing field itself? Absolute clown show. You run into the same issues in paintball: Either the worst players from CoD in meatbag form or guys who just want to show off for people they think are military. If you have good refs, you can negate their impact and most of you will have a good time. If your ref is one guy who's, I don't know, asleep half the time or down the block playing pinball, it's going to be miserable for everyone but the biggest assholes. First off, the mounted lights: You know you get to shine that shit in people faces exactly once before they figure it out and do something you don't like, right? Second, the squatters: Oh, you're just going to sit there and pick off people as they come out of exits? Fine... you get that once, too. Finally, the level of carny-bred bumpkin who doesn't know that bending the rules is going to be met with more bending of the rules and cheaters are suddenly going to run crying to a referee who, as mentioned before, either doesn't care or doesn't exist. Other than the schadenfreude that came during that last game, I didn't enjoy much of the time in the arena. This place treats it like an ATM and an afterthought, and I'd be really surprised if there aren't hands thrown here on weekends. I genuinely worry that this part of Washington County is starting to frown on things like this, so I don't want to be too harsh to the business. But when I see how packed the arcade/"museum" lot is compared to this place... and read the experiences of others... I get the feeling it just might end up downsizing to a shop after all.
