First time trying axe throwing, I absolutely loved it. Kyle was so cool explaining everything to me and of course with my Yelp check in I received a discount. Axe throwing was actually a great way to unwind and blow off some steam. Will definitely try it again .....

Booked an hour for a bachelor party. Place is in downtown SD and nearby bars and restaurants. Kyle hosted us and was top notch. Recommend if you're in town and looking for something to do.

About to do some axe throwing!!

Throw it is just a super fun, recreational experience! We spend an hour throwing axes. The owner was extremely helpful and friendly. They showed us techniques and gave us advice to improve our throws.

"Throw it!" Is a perfect addition to downtown! Located next to Bub's, this low key spot is 10/10 on the fun scale. If you have never tried this, it's amazing! #1 they have the best options to throw. Multiple axes and a shovel head, which quickly became my favorite due to the level of difficulty. Very easy to do and lots of fun! #2 They will actually print out a picture of your ex and have it on the target for you! Talk about motivation. #3 they have a bunch of retro video games, brand new and free to play! Sorry Coin-Op. #4 The staff are amazing and will show you the best way to throw. The first time I couldn't get the shovel head down, the second time around Kaz showed me how to throw and I was nailing it. When the zombie apocalypse comes, I've got my weapon of choice! IG Tip: A picture in front of the bullseye holding an axe is pretty legit.

This was such a fun find in SD! My husband and I were walking around after seeing a comedy show and happened to find Throw It! I have never done axe throwing before and wanted to try. It was around 10pm and the place was pretty quiet...which we didn't mind. Only one other group there. We got a throwing demonstration and some tips. After throwing them axes (and shovel) and few times, we actually started getting the hang of it! They have the rules for different games you can play posted on each lane. This was a fun activity! Would be even more fun with more friends. We rented the lane for an hour but after about 30 minutes we were done. We even played some of the arcade games before we left!

Super fun! Highly recommend whether with family, friends, or date night. If it's your first time, they will give you pointers on technique which is super helpful. It's nerve racking at first, but once you get comfortable it gets easier. Give it a try you won't regret it!

Ali and the staff at throw it are amazing. There are free games to play if you have to wait for your lane. They play music and there are good places to eat everywhere. Walking distance from the ballpark and the best axe throwing in town!

This Valentine's Day I took my husband on an axe-ellent adventure! It wasn't long ago when archery was a thing (prior to Hunger Games making it popular) and soon after came the escape rooms (don't think the Walking Dead didn't play into this concept). I think I hit the bullseye this year, literally and figuratively. The price for two people on Valentine's Day was $50. It came with free candy and music of your choice for your one hour session. We were both provided semi shared lanes, where we discovered the pros and cons of four different types of axes. The owners Negar and Faz were welcoming, shared about their business and provided demonstrations for learning. In addition, Faz did a great job teaching my husband an overhead throw with a large axe and Negar taught me an underhanded method with a tactical axe which proved beneficial. Who knew of the many options. In the end, we had some fun, learned a thing or two and we were able to hit the mark almost every time (after a solid warm up). We have the video to prove it! lol This is a great activity for couples, friends, and groups. It's a great work out, way to release energy and have a new experience at the same time. Go, Throw It! #SanDiego #ThrowIt #AxeMarksTheSpot #ValentinesDay2019

So it's Valentine's Day. Red roses? Not very axe-citing. Chocolates with anything other than bacon inside? Axe that. Wine, massage, or weekend axe-cursion? Un-axe-traordinary. Laser Hair Removal? Axe me again next year. My wife, who long ago put these un-axe-ceptable traditions on the chopping block, axe-tually hit the target with this one. Even though I can be a pain in the axe (even a complete axe-hole), she decided to bury the hatchet and take us "axe throwing". She didn't have to axe me twice. How axe-citing and axe-hilarating is this? As the time approached, I became axe-ceedingly impatient. Couldn't wait to cut loose my huge axe-pectations. But you don't want an axe-ident so you go through axe-tensive training to get axe-plained. After all, you aren't yet axe-perts. Axehale and aim. Take a moment to relAXE! If you fail, don't become axe-asperated! Axe-amine why you missed and repeat. Soon enough, it is time for maxe-imum axe-tion. With practice, we became axe-cellent. It would be an axe-cepted fact that we kicked some royal axe. On target without axerting ourselves too axe-tensively. So if you've got an axe to grind and the chops to do so... or need some axe-ceedingly axe-cessive stress relief... come here for some random axe of violence. Throwing axe imparts primal satisf-axetion, is great axe-ercise, and is a way better gift than in-axe-pensive body spray. AXE-ACTLY! Haxetags: #KissMyAxe #BeABadAxe #AxeplosionOn7th

Such an incredibly fun experience! I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. The staff was very friendly and maintained Covid sanitation guidelines so we felt safe. You can also get a 10% discount by checking in on Yelp and showing before paying. We were given a demonstration on how to throw the different axes properly as to prevent injury. My husband managed to throw it landing what's referred to as a "butt stick". Apparently it's rare and difficult so the manager asked to take a photo of him for their site lol. Overall we had a wonderful time and recommend this location for its great staff that made it such an enjoyable experience.

Throw it!

Coordinated with Axe Thro Co. through e-mail to host a surprise party. E-mail was a bit of a game…read moreof tag at first, but once we did calls communication went much more smooth. Since we were a party of over 24 people, I was charged the hourly rental rate to book the whole place. I would say the pricing is fair! They informed me of food packages, and I just realized it's advertised as a pizza and pretzels package but we just had pizza. I was hoping to be able to bring in some snacks for guests with food allergies, but same as most places, they do not allow outside food at all. They did their best to help me accommodate a gluten-free guest by serving salad as well. I am disappointed that they also do not allow cakes/cupcakes, especially considering we rented the space out. I understand the rule, just something to note. The employees were all great. They communicated with me throughout the party to ask me about timing of certain events ("Would you like me to wait a few before asking for a group photo in case more guests arrive," "Should we keep pushing more pizzas out") We were also able to go over the rules as one big group, which was nice. Throughout our axe throwing time, there were coaches giving tips. They did a wonderful job knowing when to step back and when to interject. Overall enjoyed our time and would recommend Axe Thro Co. for any sized event, even date night.

Went on a double date here and it was soo much fun! Easy to book and no issues with parking. Staff…read moregave an introduction to how it works and how to throw. I've done axe throwing many times, but have never had a digital game to go with it. It was great! Lots to choose from to keep things interesting. A few critiques: 1. I wish there were more axe options than a standard axe 2. We told staff we didn't want anything to eat and they kept coming up to us multiple times to tell us the kitchen was closing soon 3. Staff would try to correct our throwing. While normally I wouldn't mind them doing that, they actually caused half of us to get worse Would've been 5/5 if not for these.
