    This spot is located on the right side of a kung fu studio. Once we entered, it was very quiet…read moreinside but there were signs on the doors that guided us here. We were the only ones there on a Sunday afternoon, which was nice in a way because we had the coach and space to ourselves. We opted for the Standard, which was $26.98/person for 45 minutes. Throw first and pay at the end. First, we scanned a QR code and signed an online waiver. Then, the coach explained the rules and provided demos of how to throw with one hand and both hands behind and over the head. He was very friendly and provided tips and tricks throughout our session to improve our aim. Despite using a hatchet, which is meant for one hand, I thought it was too heavy so I had to use both hands. If you have enough arm strength, one hand is better because you can line up the axe with the target, which helps improve your aim. It was definitely harder than it looked and felt like a full body workout! The axe handles and targets looked a little run down. In addition, there were a lot of wood chips on the ground and I almost got some splinters. Side notes: 1.) 10-minute walk from Colma BART station 2.) Bathrooms available in the hallway outside. *Verdict: Unique activity for a date or hangout with family & friends

    We walked in on a Saturday night and the venue was basically empty. Quickly signed a QR waiver and…read morereviewed the safety instructions and we were rolling. Since it wasn't busy, our group of 3 was able to play simultaneously. While the ambiance is slightly lacking with it being super cold and brightly lit with gym lighting, the experience was really enjoyable. Our host was nice enough to lend us a tripod as we were trying to record some of our games! Also as the last group of the night, we got to try the large heavy axes. My advice would be to dress comfortably and expect some light strain on your back and arms. The place is sort of tucked in the martial arts building and at night does not look so welcoming. But there are decent sized lot right outside. With our student emails, we also got a discount during payment at the end.

    Trivia night Wednesday at 7pm…read more Fun! Also you can win a gift card. Maria is always a welcomed blessing of a bartender. Bring your ID. The velvet lounge doesn't disappoint.

    Sad to report this place wasn't somewhere I plan to return…read more Half the pinballs machines didn't work. Three of the machines got the ball stuck and wouldn't allow me to keep playing. With each game costing one to two dollars I felt a little ripped off I couldn't even finish my game of three balls. The pool table me and my friend played on was quite frankly disgusting. Tons of stains on the table and felt peeling. The balls all chipped and scratched. Also there was some issue with something being stuck when the game was first setup with my friend putting it together but I wasn't paying attention. He had to flag down a worker to help resolve the issue. I get it, things are pricey these days, so a newer business has to find a deal when they can, but at least find a way to improve an already overly used item. I don't expect brand new pool tables, but at least tables that look like the business cares Not to mention the ground and walls were just dirty and gross. Seemed like nobody is really cleaning the place. All the tables tops seemed sticky (if you know you know). The velvet lounge just kinda seemed like a random thrown together area, but maybe on a slow Monday it didn't feel right with lack of people. The workers were great and gave great service, just sadly all the half run down amenities that is supposed to make this place great, makes it pretty lackluster. I guess come if you want the axe throwing?

    This was sooo fun!! I've always wanted to do one of these and me and my boyfriend did the bad month…read morepackage. Highly recommend especially after a bad day, week or whatever. Blanking on his name but the guy working the night we went (2/23) was great and definitely makes the experience top tier!

    What better way to celebrate a birthday than going to a rage room?…read more I've always wanted to go to one of these, and I love the fact that Sac has a couple of these. I found this place thanks to Offbeat Coffee a couple shops down the plaza. We decided to book a room for a friend's birthday, and I initially thought "no way this is worth the money". Um... long story short, you quickly find out how much pent up anger/energy you have when you get to swinging. A couple of downsides-- while there were three of us, only two of us took our rage out. There aren't that many items, so we found that the 20 minute time limit was more than enough. We (as in the two of us) pretty much destroyed everything to pieces in 10 minutes. If you decide that you want to go with a bigger group, definitely upgrade and purchase more items to smash. Also, we came at peak 100 degree weather and this place is not air conditioned. By the end of this, we were covered in sweat, especially because the safety hats and gloves are required in the rage rooms as well. So I'd make note of that before your visit. Other than that, staff was very friendly and welcoming!

    So glad I found this place. Convenient location and the size doesn't do it justify when you walk…read morein. The staff is extremely helpful and have a great sense of humor. You can bring food from outside. They are limited on snacks and have a variety of good beers. The axe throwing bays are pretty big and there's plenty of space for your party of 4 or more. Cost was reasonable too. Will definitely come back in the future.

    Sawdust in my hair, zero regrets…read more We came for the ax throwing and stayed for the vibes. Get Axed in Roseville is a wild, well-run good time -- think beer-pong-energy targets, tic-tac-toe projection games, and enough illuminated targets to keep everyone entertained between throws. The staff are friendly, informative, and actually helpful with coaching throws and explaining the games, which made the whole experience way less intimidating. You can order cocktails (solid pours) and snacks -- another party got a stack of pizzas from Costco and the place handled it like pros. Bathrooms were huge and spotless, which is always a relief. The space is cozy and wooden, so yes, bring your sense of adventure. I left with sawdust in my hair and a grin. Photos attached show the games and the menu -- great spot for a rowdy date night or group hang. Go with friends, wear something you don't mind getting a little rustic, and have fun. 1) Axe lane and illuminated targets -- bring your A-game. 2) Tic-tac-toe projection -- more competitive than it looks. 3) "GET AXED" beer menu -- drink options for every palate.

    Made a reservation online to come here with my wife. I think if I remember correctly we chose the…read morecheapest package which is bad day package for about $35 per person. Once we got into the room we realized...this is not enough stuff lol. It has a few tea cups and a few plates and then about 20 or so beer bottles. I think it had 1 fancy light decoration and that was it. We made the best of it, and we knew we selected the cheapest package so it was no ding on smash sacramento. Music was blaring through the speakers and they offer baseball bats or golf clubs or axes to smash with...its pretty cool You also have eye protection and gloves...I would recommend BRING YOUR OWN GLOVES. I also would recommend wear some type of hoody or jeans that you can change out of immediatley following because little shards of glass will be left all over. Next time I would choose a more expensive package. The one thing I will say is that after 10 minutes the guy came in and said "Just checking in" and we had already broken everything a few times over. 10 minutes is a LONG time for the cheap package. So we told him we were done and he said "no problem." It wasnt until the drive home when I realized that he was checking in at 10 minutes to see if we wanted to buy additional things to break...but he didnt say anything about that...if he was a salesperson and said "Hey guys checking in, what can i get you guys maybe a windshield, maybe a TV for $20? let me add some stuff for a discount since you two are rocking it!" I probably would have bought a lot of stuff. But this employee didnt try to sell me anything so we just left. Overall still great experience and 5 stars...I am just mentioning this for the management team and also for you guys if you choose to go, maybe choose the cheap package and ask if you can add on things as you break stuff.
