I planned a date activity at Social Axe Throwing for my husband's birthday. Neither of us had ever tried axe throwing before, so we had no idea what to expect...but we ended up having a blast! It was such a fun and unique experience. We arrived on a Tuesday shortly after they opened around 4:15 PM, and we were the only ones there, which worked out perfectly. This may have been why the manager gave us extra attention, showed us how to throw properly, and guided us through three different games. That personal touch really made the experience even better. For two people, I felt that one hour was a good amount of time--though we definitely could've stayed two hours at least if we didn't have other plans. Pricing for one hour is $54, which feels a bit steep, but I was able to snag a deal for $27, which was much more reasonable for a one-hour activity. They also had about five arcade machines set up with free play, so you could easily spend more time there either before or after your axe-throwing session. I didn't realize until after we arrived that they offer food and drinks too...next time, I'd plan for lunch or dinner along with the activity. This place would be great for a team-building event or a group date night. Axe throwing is a bit harder than it looks, but definitely a lot of fun. We enjoyed the different game options, like tic tac toe that made it even more fun. One thing I didn't love: when you arrive, they ask for a credit card to keep on file in case you order food or drinks. Then when we finished and hadn't purchased anything extra, we were asked if we wanted to leave a tip. I found that a little awkward. While the manager was super friendly and helpful (possibly because it was empty--or maybe that's just how they treat all first-timers), I think there should be a better, more subtle way to encourage tipping without putting guests on the spot. I did not let this impact my review. read more

Social Axe Throwing - Axe throwing - Axe Throwing Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

So much fun! I've been dying to try axe throwing for years and I finally got to try it out with a friend for our girl's night out! The staff was super helpful from checking us in, teaching us how to throw, coaching us during our runs, and creating fun games for us to compete against each other during our hour reservation. It was an absolute blast and a great way to hang out and be social & interactive whether on a date or just hanging with friends! It was a super quiet Tuesday night and we had the place to ourselves with only two other bays being used. So if you don't want to fight for space during the busy weekends, I highly recommend coming by on a weeknight! read more

Went to this axe throwing spot last night and had an awesome time overall. The vibe inside was great, energetic but not overwhelming. We didn't have a reservation, but they still got us in, even though the place was pretty full. That said, if you're planning to go, I'd definitely recommend making a reservation just to be safe. Pricing was about the same as other axe throwing places I've been to. I didn't grab any food or drinks since I came in already full, but I did see someone with fries and they looked and smelled amazing. They've got a huge canned adult drink selection so just a heads-up that sodas are canned, not fountain. The staff was super kind and helpful. They give you a rundown on how the games work and how to throw safely, which is great but that part did cut into our paid time a bit. They were juggling instructions for a few groups at once, so by the time everyone was set up, some of our playtime had already started. That's my only real knock. Aside from that, the experience was perfect. They even have some free arcade games, which was a cool bonus, we hung out after our session to play a bit and catch up. Definitely a fun night out. I'd go back! read more

We went here for my wife's 25th birthday. The staff was super friendly. We had a group of 8 with 6 throwing. They set us up with two lanes. Roy showed us how to throw. We were able to get three games in the hour time slot with minimal screwing around. They had a great beer selection as well and free classic arcade games. Definitely would recommend for something different! read more

Watch out, look out! Axe throwing awesomeness ahead! my better half and I wanted to try something new so we figured we would try axe throwing, cuz why not!? We picked Social Axe as they were highly rated, and rightly so!! From the moment we walked it it was pure fun and totally relaxing. Who knew chucking an axe for a while could be so much fun!?! The staff is great and a huge shout out to Toni for really making our time memorable! If you are looking different, we highly recommend Social Axe!!' read more

Wow! I can't believe I just went axe throwing!! Daren and Toni greeted us, and were friendly and super chill. They have a great bar and do serve food. They have a wall of video game machines as well with free play, great for those not throwing or while you're waiting for your turn or for a Bay to come open. Toni gave us the throwing tutorial and continued to give us pointers throughout the hour. We played a couple game variations. Look forward to coming back! read more

Went to Social Axe Throwing today with three of my friends for a girls' day out, and we had such a great time! None of us had ever thrown an axe before, but the staff was so helpful and made learning easy and fun. We were shocked (in the best way) that we could actually play a full game and stick the axes! The atmosphere was super fun, and the food was way better than I expected--fresh, tasty, and perfect for sharing while we played. It was such a unique and empowering experience, and we're already planning our next visit. Highly recommend for a fun group outing or something different to do with friends! read more

Had a great night for company event. Private space on the patio. Heaters, dedicated staff. Overall easy to work with. read more

This was our second time at Social Axe throwing and again we were not disappointed. We were greeted immediately and it took less than 2 minutes to complete our waivers. Tyler was our coach and he was awesome!! He coached us in how to throw and kept our games entertaining and was just so engaging with us. There were 6 of us and we all had a blast!! There is a bar well stocked with both alcohol and nonalcoholic drinks. Check out is easy and fast and they can check you out by couple which is so nice. read more

My friend treated me to Axe Throwing for my birthday. She believed to have made a reservation a couple of months in advance but front of the house could not find it. Luckily they were able to fit us in since we came early in the evening. We had a lane, chalkboard to keep score of game points, and ordered some cider (Cider Corps' POG & Mango Trot) from the bar. There's an instructor on safety and throwing, they'll also teach you a game, and then you have an hour of playtime. We started to really enjoy it when Daren visited our lane and refined our technique of throwing. His pointers and attention to customers was much appreciated. read more

It was quick and easy for me to sign in. They have you use your phone to sign a waiver. Then, while you wait for the rest of your party to arrive, you can use one of their game machines for free. They had about four machines there. There were about four throwing lanes in the front. At the front, they also have high top tables for people to eat at if they order at the location. I liked how the employees gave us instructions and also tips on how to throw the axes. They also taught us axe throwing games as well. They mentioned a tic tac toe game and also a numbers game. I loved their parking lot with a lot of spaces. Hopefully someday stores will have covered parking for the whole parking lot, but there were a few trees there. read more

My best friend and I visited for the first time, and it was an absolute blast! Highly recommend. Immediately greeted by Daren at the front, and then the two ladies at the bar were really cool as well. Shout out to Chase for showing us the ropes and being an awesome hype man. Honestly will be going back! I recommend making a reservation online. Easy to do! read more

Our axe coach Gregg was awesome and fun helping us through the different games plus gave helpful tips and pointers. Great time!

Had a fun time here last weekend, definitely recommend for a fun activity for the fam! I'm sure they have rules on age requirements etc (please review their page) We made a reservation online and headed over on a Saturday night. Closed toe shoes are required, they have coaches to help you get started and of course beers/seltzers/sodas available along with some food items to order ( we didn't order any though just some beers) The team was great. The check-in experience was efficient and it was a good time. Definitely recommend and will be back for another fun evening! read more

What a reality check!!! Come with your sportsmanship award, cause this is harder than it looks!!! If I could provide any advice; come to have fun, come to learn, be coachable... First steps you'll need to take when getting setup - a minor/liability waver is required (NOTE: To save time check to see if this can be done prior to arrival/event.) Wore the wrong shoes, don't worry they've got you covered. Options of indoor and outdoor lanes, private, or engaging. Hosting a special, personal, private, public, charitable, business event, to family time, or date night - your axe throwing experiences are endless. First off the environment the ambiance is inviting and comfortable. Clean and well maintained, lighting is perfect (not dark), neutral smells, energy and the vibe is engaging right from the start. Upon arrival and getting checked in with Jaylan, great guy! Patient, kind, knowledgeable, a blessing (he carded me)!!! When you get settled, Daren (Owner) gave an intro safety demo and provided us with individual instructions of one/two handed options of throwing and the techniques. Point system explained, and then it was GAME ON!!! We were in town for baseball West Coast Premiere, and needless to say we parents thought our baseball boys were going to give us a beat down. Boy were we wrong! Anyone 13U and has the capacity to safely engage - I say do it! Give it a try! It's likely guaranteed, after the first time - you're going to want to come back again and again - a healthy opportunity to challenge yourself individually and against your opponents! Take this as your sign to step outside your comfort zone. Either way, my opinion the #1 thing: be ready for some smack down - sh!? talking just rolls off the tongue and that's where you may need your "A" game. I appreciate the individual mental physical and emotional challenges that axe throwing provides. Yes, I said emotional challenges (your sportsmanship is tested 100%)! #Y.N.O.T try it out for yourself!!! Side note: drinks are good and what a variety of options, and the food is actually pretty tasty as well. It's your typical style of bar food - but better. My kids loved the BBQ boneless wings. (Forgot to take pictures) read more

It was ok. throwing the axe was fun, but we were just there for a 1 hour date, definitely not trying to be serious about throwing axes, and during that time TWO of the employees tried to give me unsolicited advice on how to throw. I ignored one and told the other "no thanks, we're just having a good time, I don't need to be good at it" and I could tell they were put off by that, but honestly, way to make me feel like crap on a date. I knew I wasn't doing great at it, which was fine, I was still having fun with my boyfriend and sticking it about every other throw, but to have two people essentially point out how badly they think I was doing really ruined my date night. Also the food choices are not very good, and you can't bring in outside food, so I would not recommend planning your visit during a meal time. read more

Such a fun experience! Staff are friendly and enthusiastic. We had lessons and engaging tournaments. I'm definitely going back! Great idea for a party! read more

I love this place. It is definitely a great place to take people when they are from out of town and you just want to find something easy to do to entertain them. It's definitely a fun atmosphere and the owner is super cool. I'll definitely be coming back to this place. read more

Okay, to be honest I didn't want to come here at all because I was so scared of throwing an axe. My best friend has been wanting to do axe throwing forever. This opened up close to home so when she visited me I told her we would go. I had no intentions of throwing, but to watch and support. We made our reservation and they got us all checked in when we arrived. They spend about 15 minutes going over all safety procedures and showing you how to throw. I was so nervous, but once I learned and watched it looked like something I wanted to do. Kaden was great and patient. Once we started going I was having a lot of fun and got my rhythm going. They have a chalkboard to make it competitive and you can play some games against each other. Everyone working stayed involved and cheered on as you did it too. They were quick to answer questions. We had lots of laughs. They serve food and drinks too! Next time we will definitely plan for food and drinks since I won't be nervous! Check this place out it!! read more

Do axes and beer mix? Well, actually they do and they make it a pretty fun date night. We went w another couple and rented a stall for 1hr., had a few drinks and apps. Note: Ladies, you do need to wear closed toed shoes If you come in w anything but, you can still rent some lovely crocs Nothing on tap but they have a good selection of local breweries like Cider Corp and Mead. Also, non-alcoholic beverages are available. Liquid Death = H2O You can easily stay for more than an hour but we decided to grab dinner elsewhere. It's a fun time to take out some aggression or your inner lumber Jack read more

For a Saturday night it wasn't too busy .. we made reservations online before we went just in case. They have different types of beers and of course bar food options which is nice... and they have someone to show you how to play if you've never been and checks up on you time to time which was nice... defin new fun experience and wouldn't mind coming back read more

Went with a group of 4. The instructors are very knowledgeable and help anyway they can. The games they chose for our group were a lot of fun. Food was surprisingly good!

SO MUCH FUN! My husband surprised me with a random outing for my bday. We ended up here at Social Axe Throwing. This was both our first-time real ax-throwing as we are fans of the game at Dave N Busters haha. I definitely recommend reservations because it's a bit snug when everyone starts to file into their reserved lanes and the wait varies depending on time and day. The staff takes the time to train you on how to throw, and how to get the best score to win and gives you a few different games to try. Just remember when you finish one game if the staff doesn't notice you are done, just ask them and they will move you on to another game. Our reservations were just for 1 hour for the 2 of us and that was perfect. I think we played 3 or 4 games with each other. They also have a small bar for alcohol and other drinks. We were here in the early afternoon so we did not order any food. When we were getting ready to leave I didn't see one sad face in the place. So definitely recommend with family or friends. Not sure if I would bring the kids though. Keep them at home :) read more

Beyond impressed with the level of service received by Pam, Daren, and Gary! I rented out their venue for My husband's 50th bday party. My initial point of contact was Gary and after some back and forth, we were able to nail down the details. The night of the event, I had around 80 guests. I was nervous as Gary wasn't present, but Daren and Pam were spectacular! From the time we arrived, to the time we left, everything ran smoothly as they had 8 employees on staff to work my event. They had my guests set up and ready for fun immediately and I didn't have to worry if anyone was bored or uninvolved. Pam was very communicative and even offered to help me with set up and break down of my party decor and private catering. I even hired a food truck (that's another review in itself as it was a disaster) and Pam made sure to usher my guests out when the truck eventually opened. Another bonus was that all the employees seemed to know who I was without me having to introduce myself. That was a relief as I didn't want to have to keep name dropping that I was paying the tab and needed a beer lol. They even made sure the bday boy was recognized by all. When it came time for cake, I didn't even have to lift a finger except to present it the my husband to make a wish and blow out the candles. Come to find out, this was their first event!! Could have fooled me! I already have friends planning their team building and other events there as they had so much fun at ours! We'll definitely be back soon as well! read more

Went here last week for a work event- Doug was our minder for the afternoon. He was funny, personable, and most of all, knowledgeable- and a former axe throwing championship winner, to boot! He took care of us during our entire session, patiently explaining all of the safety rules and giving us options to correct bad throws when we didn't hit the marks. On top of this, he was the consummate party host, playing Xmas tunes and even joining in on a throw or two. It was a blast. read more

Blown away by how much fun our group had! I brought in my real estate team and we had a blast. Kaden was fantastic, let us joke around and blow off some steam. We did order drinks and food. Plenty of good options in the beverage area. We will be back again! read more

What a great first time experience! Everyone was attentive, helpful, courteous, and kind. Love how they put effort to not only teach you techniques but socialize with you on a personal basis. Easy service, reserved for $25 deposit ($25/individual) they take a CC to begin a tab for you to order at the bar/kitchen. Clean facility and plenty of space for groups! read more

Fun times where else can you mix liquor and throwing sharp axes at a wall and get your competitive mojo going!!!

Give it a try, you won't regret it. I was hesitant going in but I'm so happy we did. This was an extremely fun date night! We had so much fun and are exited to come back. From the get go you are assigned a "Coach" to your lane who walks you through the safety rules and the "how to's" of the game. The staff was extremely friendly and cared to make sure we were having fun and asked us if we needed anything multiple times through the evening. Boe our coach was really encouraging and we felt very confident with his instructions. They also have great selection of beers, ciders, spritzers, and mead. I had a few local ciders from cider corps and my wife had church music IPA. Very easy process and would recommend to anyone looking for something fun to do. My only recommendation would be to have close toed shoes. I didn't have any when we arrived so I had to rent some "crocs" and socks from them which was an extra few $'s but they were super comfy and gave me and extra edge. Thankful for this neighborhood spot and can't wait to go back. read more

First time Axe throwing and it was A LOT of fun! For two people I think one hour is the perfect amount of time. Booking a reservation online was easy. Once we arrived the check in was smooth. The liability waiver you have to fill out is easy to access and doesn't take up much of your time. The staff greeted us immediately and stayed engaged throughout our time there to ensure we were having the best time. We were provided a quick demonstration on how to properly throw an axe and how to do it safely. There were several games and I think in an hour we were able to play three games. There aren't any drinks on tap but they have plenty of beverages (soda, beers, liquid death, etc). The pretzel bites were delicious and the flat bread was pretty good as well. We went around 4pm which was a great time. Not too crowded or noisy. Highly recommend this place! read more

My friends and I were looking for something new to try and decided to come try axe throwing. We made reservations online since it was a weekend (1-2 hour max for a large group). They can have up to 5-6 per group. When you arrive you use your phone to sign a waiver and then wait for your party to arrive. They offer a wide selection of beer and have bar food available. Once your group is all situated , they have one of the employees who comes and goes over how safety guidelines & how to properly hold and throw the axe. They will come and check on your group throughout your time there. Our group had so much fun & I would definitely recommend this spot if you haven't been! read more

Great place to go. One thing I don't like is how the do there pricing. Charge me for a lane not by the person. I don't get why you would pay $x.00 for one person for an hour and then x2 it for two people and the x3 for the third person. Give it up to them for having nice staff! Would I go back not right now. To price for me is what stops me. Would I recommend to friend yes read more

Staff is extremely rude. Will not return!!! We had an extra person come because they wanted to watch other people throw axes. They told us it was not allowed and we would need to book another lane... even though the person would only be watching. Guess they don't like the social. read more

Wow! What a great place to celebrate my born day! Great atmosphere, good food & drinks, great customer service! Highly recommend Social Axe for a fun night out! read more
