Had such a great time at Slashers Axe Throwing & Ales! The atmosphere was fun, the staff was super friendly and helpful, and the whole experience was a blast. Such a fun place to go with family like I did. Had some drinks, laugh, and something different. Definitely recommend checking it out--we'll be back! read more

Super clean and a bunch of throwing options for each lane without additional charge. Such a fun experience with friends or as a date night read more

Very wholesome event. Right off the 55 freeway exit with parking behind the building. The staff was very nice and helpful with how to throw axes. However, I noticed that axe throwing was definitely easier if the wood was newer and better maintained. Our wood was definitely worn out and axes were not sticking very well. Surprisingly this activity was more technique than strength so no worries if you're not strong. Definitely needs a lot of shoulder and wrist angling so watch out. There's a bar inside with light snacks and non-alcoholic options too. Also a merch area if you want to buy axe throwing merchandise lol. Lots of cool axe throwing games like "bowling", tic-tac-toe, or hitting moving targets on the wood screen. read more

Slashers was such a fun place for an event!! I came for my birthday with a group of about 20 people. It was perfect for big groups as they reserved multiple lanes and large tables for us so everyone was able to hang out. They have drinks and small snacks and allow food to be brought inside. We brought in a birthday cake which they were able to store in their fridge. They also gave me a huge "axe cake cutter" to cut my cake. Loved the horror theme!! They go through a training in the beginning so it feels very safe. read more

My company hosted a Halloween event here & we all had a blast! The workers here were so extremely nice & helpful. There was a girl who remembered all our names and I thought that was so impressive! There was a guy who would give us pointers on how to hold/throw our axes. They really decked the place out for Halloween too. It really puts you in the festive mood! The parking lot is a bit small, so if you have a big party you may have to park at the triangle square parking lot. The walk wasn't too bad though! read more

Had such a blast here. My wife setup my birthday party here for some friends and family and we all loved the atmosphere and the theming. Our camp counselor Jose was great! He taught us how to throw both the regular sized axe and the two handed big axe. Since we had so many people we had about 6 lanes for just our party with 3 people each. The different game modes were all fun to play. After the 1st hour they tangle everyone who wants to compete in a single elimination tournament to determine the top 3 winners with a podium award ceremony and group photo. Food: Only bagged finger snacks at this establishment. But you can bring whatever you want to eat here. (Bring serving/ eating utensils, plates, & napkins) Drinks: Outside drinks are not aloud so you only can drink from the bar. All in all this was a great experience and we would definitely come back again for more! read more

So much fun, from entering the front door being greeted, not sure what to expect when you first walk, it doesn't take long to warm up though. The camp girls explaining the process were full of useful throwing techniques and were there to assist if needed. Thank you for that... it was a very cool experience drinks were awesome pinball machines were a lot of fun after the ax throwing. Overall I really want to do this again! I really recommend this with friends or family it's a good time read more

It seems appropriate to throw some axes around Halloween and that's what we did on a Saturday night. It's an organized group activity. If you are coming at night, be on the lookout for the entrance because we missed it twice! LOL! Look for the Travel Lodge sign and then you'd be able to locate the entrance. Parking is limited so do plan accordingly for example carpooling and perhaps have a designated driver if you plan to indulge in alcoholic drinks which are available at the venue. The organizer for our event provided salads and pizzas. I have been here before and glad to be back. Our host was very helpful and he provided clear instructions on how to throw the axes safely. The decor is horror themed but not scary. You can select different backgrounds as your targets. We had a competition which added more excitement and fun. read more

They are friendly and helpful to beginners I was having trouble throwing the axe and employee helped explain proper technique to me until I finally got it down. This was so much fun! read more

A killer good time. Excellent themed. The drink menu has a ton of clever options. The actual axe throwing itself has tons of options and different weapons. Love all the axe themed horror movie posters on the way to the bathroom. Clearly a labor of love made by true fans of horror. A perfect place for a group especially if you love scary movies. read more

What a cool niche play on an axe-throwing bar. Couple of things to note: - Interior is very cool and spot on like an 80s horror theme - The axe board is a digital projection which allows you to play a variety of different types of games (not just tallying points on a circle target (I.e. tic-tac-toe, battleship, etc) - $40/hour for a lane is pretty expensive but it's a cool experience - You can drink MAX 3 drinks during your stay, feels like a good safety protocol - The staff was very helpful to instruct my buddy how to throw axes. Definitely a cool date or bro night hang and if you're a fan of horror it's worth your while. Pro tip: every once in a while the bar decor does something crazy. Hope this helps! read more

We came here for my friends birthday and had the best time! If you're a horror movie fan and live for thrills I'd definitely try coming here with friends! The atmosphere was so fun, everything was decorated down to the restrooms every axe throwing stall was named after every slasher. Fun little Easter eggs all over the building. Though I didn't have any food, the drinks were good from what my friends ordered. They were pleased with everything they got. I had a regular Coke still good The service was excellent and the workers explain rules and watching us for safety were also very helpful and nice! I would love to come back and would recommend this place read more

Super fun, the staff is really cool and the drinks are fire. Dane is a great bartender

The Theme & Setting of this place is amazing! When you walk in, you are immediately greeted which was a nice sign of good customer service! After, I was asked to sign a waiver (which was straight forward) and the camp counselor at the front desk was there to help guide and answer any and all questions you may have. The Camp Counselor's were are all wonderful and friendly . I was there, celebrating a friends birthday and our camp counselor "Sophie" was very welcoming and had educated the party on the do and don't of the lanes. She explained how to throw and was always there to help with form and questions any of us had. They take safety very seriously there. (Which I appreciate) There were times, I myself had to be told to step back when they saw my footing even slightly over the line into the lane. Sure, it was a subtle gesture but I appreciated how much they took safety seriously. The drink I got ( malignant ) there was yummy, but a little too sweet in my personal opinion. Nothing to do with how it was supposed to be made because "Dani" our bartender, was amazing, and was just following the ingredients. It just happened to be sweet for me. Overall, it was yummy, and I'm sure if you gave it a try you'd love/appreciate it & might not find it too sweet as I did. They also host tournaments within your party and give away prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd. I thought that was a cool idea to not only compete but intermingle with the party for a fun time. Great place to visit and I'll for sure find my way back there at some point in time! Thanks camp counselor's for a great experience! P.S. Dani, Thank You for helping me with a product to help aid in my knee recovery ‍ ! Appreciate you! Cheers Counselor's! read more

We came to Slasher's for my friend Nick's birthday and had such a great time. It's a really fun spot with axe throwing and a full bar, which makes it perfect for celebrating with a group. Gabby helped get us started and showed us how to properly throw the axe. The atmosphere was lively, the drinks were great, and the whole experience felt well organized and safe. If you're looking for a fun and different way to celebrate a birthday or hang out with friends, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

Had so much fun at Slashers! I am not one who normally loves horror but the theming and the different games you can play made it one of my favorite axe throwing places I've ever been to! Highly Recommend! read more

What a super fun place! As a beginner, this is a great place to try it out for the first time. We loved the fun 80s slashers theme. There were a lot of photo ops. And their safety setup & instructions were good. You get to choose from a variety of axes and a knife to throw. The digitally projected targets were cool because you can change it up and play games. I def got a good workout from all the throwing. You can bring your own food too. There's plenty of parking. Entrance is in the back by the Bigfoot. Hehe read more

Top tier axe throwing experience that any 90s horror/slasher fan will really appreciate. They have ample space for big groups and I was impressed at the variety of different style axe throwing games they have. The hour we did went pretty quick--next time I would probably opt for a slightly longer experience just to really soak in the atmosphere and have a chance to try all of the different games/overlays. The staff was also very friendly and they have draft beer on tap which makes for a perfect combination. I would recommend bringing closed toed shoes or else you need to use the ones they have available. Overall this venue really has elevated what axe throwing is and is the most ambitious premium axe throwing experience around. Highly recommend. read more

Pretty cool experience. The style is what makes this place stand out to me, I love horror films

Super fun, very cool decor inside, drinks were tasty, all of the staff was super friendly and especially Gabby was a great teacher

We had a fantastic time at Slashers for a fun date day activity. It was our first time axe throwing and we will absolutely be back. When we checked in, we were handed a VHS tape with a horror movie name on it and we knew we were in for a fun vibe. The bar was fun - the drinks were delicious & cutely themed and the bartender was so kind and helpful. Once we got called up to our lane, the attendant Gabby was incredible. As mentioned above, this was our first time axe throwing, and she was so patient watching our form and helping coach me when I couldn't get the axe to stay in the wall. She had the patience of a saint, and even after the trial period, she kept an eye on everyone and was happy to step in and help with more tips when I looked lost. She's a gem. We loved the variety of games they offered within the lane - we did the standard bullseye, we diffused a bomb, played tic tac toe (twice), and diffused landmines. The game variety kept it fresh so it didn't just feel like we were taking turns throwing toward a bullseye for an hour. We did end up extending our time by an extra half hour, and were so glad we did. We will absolutely be back to Slashers!! read more

We decided on a last minute date on a night we had off together. This place was amazing as always. Dani took us through the safety process, made us drinks, and helped us with techniques. Honestly, it was a blast and we will be coming back again soon! read more

I took my sister here for her birthday and it was a blast! The vibes were epic. We had so much fun. The instructor we had was amazing and gave us some awesome pointers (we were all first timers) and after a couple practice throws we were hitting the targets! I love that there are multiple games you can project onto the target area. The drinks were great and we will definitely be coming back. You will miss the parking lot if you aren't paying attention so be careful$ read more

Had an amazing time at Slashers! Whether it's a date night, friend outing, or team building activity, it's a gonna be a spooky time. Decor and ambiance fit the horror theme to a tee. Roughly $40 per person and every person can purchase 3 drinks max to ensure safety when axe handling and throwing. I can see this place being extra busy in October + Halloween season. read more

Great place and super nice workers! Loved the horror theme and music! Didn't try the drinks but they also looked good!

Fun Halloween themed joint! I loved how the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Everyone needs to pay to get in. No looky loos who just wanna sit and watch. It was a great time and even the drinks were adorably Halloween. Would come again! Although I wish there was more variety than beer and cider. read more

What's not to love about a horror themed axe throwing place?! Each lane is named after a different horror movie and when you check in, you are given a VHS case with the corresponding movie title. Super fun and creative! The lanes are electronic projection so you can do a variety of different games that keeps it interesting. The staff are helpful and will give you tips if it's your first time. We didn't have any food but the drinks were tasty. There's a wide selection of beers and ciders to fit your specific taste. Although Slashers is a bit on the pricey side, it's such a unique and fun experience. read more

Alright, so finding this axe throwing spot was a bit of a pain because if you pass it, you have to loop all the way around. (However, given the giant yeti looking thing outside, I probably should have guessed. But I was a bit intimidated by the big iron gates!) Once we actually stumbled in? Super cool. Horror movie vibes in a good way. Dark, atmospheric, and awesome. After the waiver, we got to go and chuck axes. This was the first place that the point count was electronic so we could play against each other (and totally destroy each other's egos, which is always a plus). read more

Our group had a good time overall, camp counselor was sweet, I loved the horror theme inside, and it's fun they have different axe throwing games you can chose from. I'm giving one star off due to one of the bartenders (tall, heavier set, dark haired guy) was rude. He gave us the wrong drink, when we said something he insisted we ordered the wrong drink then and that it was our fault instead of acknowledging he messed up. Which wasn't the case, half our group heard the drink order and he definitely messed up. read more

Amazing date night, awesome ambience and great staff, Dani and Jose were amazing camp counselors! Good pointers on landing every hit!

Went for our first time and had a lot of fun! It was a little bit of a drive from us but well worth it

Such a fun spot! Came here for the first time last night and I wish I knew about it sooner. It's themed for scary movies (which I love) and there is a decent variety of beers on tap and everyone who works there was super nice as well. The axe throwing has a bunch of mini game options to mix it up /make it fun. They project the image of the games on the board and have fun lights associated with each one. A great activity for dates or groups. I was absolutely terrible at it, but definitely will be coming back! read more
