The place has a nice vibe, but I didn't like what was happening to me. Every Sunday she kept wanting to go with me. It was fun at first, then it just felt wrong. I thought it was strange when she never invited her boyfriend. I never tried the food, but the staff is nice. I also never tried the drinks. I just stood around. The ceiling is cool there too so if you get bored there's plenty of stuff to look at. I stopped being friends with her because she made out with my brother. But yeah this place is legit. Funny characters. Although the bathrooms made my anxiety worse permanently I think.

She has a true gift for connecting with kids and creating an atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable joining in and having fun. I highly recommend Carrie for any event.

Turns out axe throwing is a skill that requires a bit more than just chucking it at the wall!…read moreThough I'm still not quite sure how the magic happens where it sticks, after throwing a few dozen times just about anybody can get the hang of it. We had a group event here, and after a bit of a slow start, it got really fun. There were three different kinds of throwing axres, as well as a saw blade and a metal measuring tool! My personal favorite was the large two handed axe. Its weight and power made it fun to throw and had a satisfying thunk when it hit. The sawblade was also fun to throw and the metal protractor was different but satisfying. It was a bit freaky, throwing axes right near to everybody else but the cages they had around each target were quite effective in stopping some of the missed throws. It still feels like it's crazy to be doing that kind of thing but nobody was injured. They also have a pretty cool dance floor in a live band started up while we were there. Apparently they have square dancing and line dancing. There are also days when families can come in so kids can get in on the throwing action too. Overall, it was a fun and different activity. Worth checking out. Five stars

I've been to Whoop Axe in Lake Forest and tonight I tried the Mission Viejo location. There was a…read morelot of good and I had a lot of fun with my friends. There were a couple things that could have used improving, but mostly my experience was excellent. First thing to mention was that this time I came for the Rage Room. I was really excited and have been wanting to try one for a LONG time. We had a great time, so, first I'd like to highlight what went well... THE POSITIVES *Emma was a great instructor. She gave us the low down, rules, made sure we were safe and had tons of fun! *Just like Lake Forest, this is a giant space and has tons of axe throwing lanes, games and a snack bar. *This location even has a mechanical bull. *HUGE dance floor for line dancing. *Fun and upbeat environment. NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: *When we first arrived and checked in, we saw another group go ahead of us, despite having a reserved time for 7pm... *We were not told how long the wait would be and felt like we were just waiting around and not knowing what was happening. *Would like a little more variety of items to break...like cups and plates. *Personally for me, the rage room felt very claustrophobic, it was small, hot with no ventilation. *I did not enjoy the spray paint smell in the rage room - cool idea, but not great for breathing in. One other thing we realized is that you can do the room alone or with up to 4 people. We chose to do a group of 4, but next time I'll do it individually. While in the room as a group, you have 15 minutes total, but still have to go 1 by 1 for safety. The cost is the same per person (no deal for a group), so it makes sense to do it 1 person at a time in my opinion. Overall though, I don't want to discourage anyone from enjoying a fun night at Whoop Axe. I think they're doing a fantastic job and provide a great experience. The staff are all friendly and make sure you are instructed on how to stay safe. If you're looking for a unique experience that you'll never forget, this is the place for sure!

Just hoping we were there at an off time or something. I know they also have tons of fun events every month, including line dancing and family nights too! And they also have another location at the Kaleidoscope in Mission Viejo! Always a fun time when you're whooping axe!!

I entered the place and the smell was odd mixed with alcohol, and did not know what to make of it. It was later that I realize this smell was similar to the unclean restroom. I got a rude reception from the bartender when I asked for a non alcoholic beer and was told that I was a lightweight and should get a real man's drink. A nearby patron scowled at her. I insisted on what I wanted, and got nothing. After a bit I needed to use the restroom and was appalled but the lack of cleanliness. When I brought it up with the same bartender I got more indignation, so I walked out! Recommendations: Clean the place, USE AN AIRFRESHENER, replace rude employees.

His energy and hospitality really elevated the whole experience. If you come here, pray that you get Jin looking after your room. Absolute rockstar!

Parking was surprisingly nice at 4pm on Sunday. Happy hour until 8pm. A lot of great songs, there's newer hits as well as older songs. Sound was great. They have bottle wines, alcohol, beer.

Would definitely come again. Happy hour is a hit!

I've lived in the US for 10 years, and this was easily the worst service experience I've ever had…read moreat a high-end restaurant. We came for a birthday lunch, and the restaurant was not busy at all -- about all of the tables were empty. The hostess, an older Latina woman, seated us in a corner table. We politely asked if we could switch to a different spot with a better view and looked around at the open tables. We were respectful the entire time, but she was rude from the very start, with a terrible attitude. My friend later told me she slammed our menus down on the table and pouted. It was shockingly unprofessional. I couldn't help but wonder: if she doesn't like her job, she shouldn't be working in hospitality. We even questioned whether we were receiving this treatment because of our race. We requested to speak with the manager. Unfortunately, the manager's response was dismissive and perfunctory. We never received any genuine apology for the hostess's behavior. This level of treatment is completely unacceptable for a restaurant of this caliber. That said, our server who took care of our table was wonderful. He was polite and attentive, and he's the only reason this review is not a total disaster.

Searching for "bars" while in the area, Marine Room Tavern immediately sparked my interest being described as a "whiskey bar" (they have over 200!)! What a cool place -- with the long, dark wood bar top; rich, sophisticated, luxurious leather furniture; and dim lighting. It's visually interesting, inviting, classic -- not what I consider a dive bar (as I understand it once was). I can imagine the vibe is quite different at night, with entertainment; however, this first visit, within the first hour of opening, on a Monday afternoon was peaceful and relaxed at this locals bar. Kaleo made us feel welcome and at ease, making this experience an enjoyable one. Fun find!

The only reason I gave them two stars is the Rotary club does good things and I don't mind making the $20 donation. I just wish I did not have to spend $25 in gas to get there and back to give them my $20.
