We didn't order food, but everything we did do was fantastic. The service was great and the coach did a great job showing us the ropes and introducing all the games. The games, I have to say, are really great. You aren't just throwing axes at a target. They have games that overlay the backstops, like battleship, tic tac toe, 21, zombies, etc....even including uploading your own pictures to throw axes at (my wife loved tossing axes at the big mean black spider that we found outside our house). If you're up for a great time, at great prices, a great atmosphere, this is your place.

We easily got two lanes (they allow 5 people per lane), and the setup worked perfectly for a group our size. What really stood out was the variety of games--way more than just standard bullseye throws. We played everything from Tic Tac Toe to Zombie Hunter and even Buck Hunter. Tons of fun and definitely keeps things from getting repetitive. The staff were friendly and helpful--they give you a quick rundown on how to throw, then let your group take the lead. It's a laid-back vibe, which we liked, but if you're looking for more hands-on coaching or lessons, you'll need to flag them down again. Food options are limited--basically pizza, chips, and chicken nuggets--but that's not really the focus here. What they do have is a solid beer selection, reasonably priced at $4-$6 a can, which is a nice bonus. Only downside: it was pretty warm inside. Not sure if the A/C was struggling or what, but by the end of our hour we were definitely sweating.

You ever had the urge to throw axes at zombies? If so, THIS IS YOUR PLACE!!!…read more Elysium is pretty much the definition of laid-back fun. I'd never thrown axes before but had some time to burn before dinner so gave it a try. You sign up for different increments of time; I got 30 minutes. Several lanes are available. Think of it like a short bowling alley - but with axes. As it was my first time I received a lot of mentorship. Turns out I was throwing too hard, so the axe handle kept hitting first. But when I loosened up I was hitting near the bullseye fairly consistently. Obviously - sharp weapons and alcohol go together, so there is bar stacked with craft beer. Noshes are also available although I didn't try that. My favorite setting was the one where you throw against projections of zombie heads. After I found that one, I basically stopped looking at other options...because why would you? So there you have it; sharp weapons, alcohol, and training for the Zombie Apocalypse, all wrapped into one!

They have a Game of Thrones/Dungeons and Dragon kind of theme going on, with cocktails named after the different houses and a page where you can roll for your drink. I went with a flight to try out some of their whiskeys, but they also make gin and vodka. The flight was ok, I find when you make all the things nothing really stands out, but the Everyday whiskey was a nice smooth sip which I very much enjoyed. For dinner I had the smoked brisket which was tasty, but the sides (garlic mashed potatoes, carrots and asparagus) were fire. Service was great, they weren't very busy so it was easy to get a table and get served. Overall I would definitely come back to roll for a random cocktail and enjoy more flights of their other offerings!

The "coach" was super nice and walked through safety guidelines and how to throw the axe. She continued to check on us through the night to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. There are two kinds of axes to try. I liked being able to switch it up. I was awful but still had fun! They have a small food menu of nachos and pizza along with a refrigerator of beer, White Claw, and Angry Orchard hard cider. (It would be great if in the future, they carried local drinks like Lost Boy Cider and Port City Brewing. Not super important, but locals supporting locals is always a nice touch that i notice when i go out). Overall, we had a great time. As opposed to some of the other reviews, the staff member never pressured us to leave. This could be because it wasn't busy. Either way, we felt welcome the whole time. Would definitely recommend!
