Been there once before with some friends. It was okay. They have a variety of bladed things to throw. Went back by myself and was told it's a 2 person minimum even though they had no customers there. Odd business strategy to turn away customers when you have none. read more

Came in to throw for the first time and had such a good time!! Oli was the gent who helped us out and he was such a cool dude, chit chatted with us about baseball and how to properly throw the different axes. Did so much better than I thought I would too!! We'll be back soon! read more

Our experience with the instructor was great and it was a fun environment. 5 stars for that. 1 star for the front desk receptionist. Extremely rude to us and acted like she didn't want to be there. Maybe she had an off day. read more

I finally took my Grandson to this amazing place! We walk by it all the time but then we finally went in and had so much fun for an hour. Seriously this is so fun throwing an Axe and you have an hour. Negar and Nick are so nice and professional! They take safety very serious which is very important but they make it so fun at the same time. They come up and check on you and answer any questions. We went 2 days in a row and my grandson says this is his favorite thing to do. It's so fun for any age and I'm not kidding my Grandson is 11 and I'm in my 70s and I loved it! I saw a lot of girls there today for a bachelor party and other different groups. The thought of throwing an Axe just didn't seem appealing but WOW it's so fun!!! I'm going to set up our office monthly event there. This is a great fun thing to do Downtown before you head out to dinner or after. Thank you Negar and Nick! You are the best! read more

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. read more

Throw It! - About to do some axe throwing!! - Axe Throwing Near Me - San Diego, California

Amazing!!! The staff was friendly and showed you how to throw. Very calm place, and it is available for all ages!

Great way to relieve stress and let out your anger. My boyfriend and i had fun, would definitely recommend it. The staff was very helpful in explaining how to throw in more detail when they saw us struggling a lot in the beginning, after the mini lesson we were having so much fun actually getting the axes on the board lol read more

"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. read more

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! read more

I came here last minute on the weekend and had a great time. Axe throwing is harder than it seems but so fun. The place is small but perfect for a small group. The instructor was patient and showed us the ropes. I really enjoyed throwing the small shovel in addition to the different size axes. They have some really cool murals that are photo worthy. read more

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! read more

My friend and I came here to try axe throwing for the first time here. The price is 25 dollars per hour, which felt like a solid deal. They have a variety of axes, including a smaller hatchet and a sharp shovel. The best part is while they are setting up the range for you, you can play a variety of arcade games for free! It was a fun time and definitely a must! read more

My friends and I went here for a small bachelor party stop. We were on time and taken right to our two lanes we reserved. We had a blast throwing the axes and shovel heads for an hour! Definitely check the place out, they even take walk ins. read more

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 read more

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 read more

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. read more

Awesome place to take your date. This place is so much fun. I became an expert with out little training from the staff. Their staff is friendly and they sanitize cages and their equipment after each group. If they ask you you to wait they offer free arcade games to play. There is a time limit of 1hr to 1hr and 30min of fun. Highly recommend to make your reservation online. They also ask you to sign a waiver before entering. read more

Great safety protocols in place with distanced use of the boards and disinfected tools. We were able to not only land an axe or two, but also improved our technique over the hour-long session thanks to the great staff who offered personalized tips based on our natural approach. Wish it was closer to home so we could come more often! We will definitely be trying this out again thanks to this fun first time read more

This spot was simply amazing! We walked in after just passing by, the owners were super nice and helpful. We came in with our 3 kids. The owner sat and played with our little one the entire time. She was the sweetest! On the Covid front- they were disinfecting everything, mask worn, they were on top of it! Bonus * arcade games with free play!! read more

So. Much. Fun. My friends and I happened upon this business while wandering the Gaslamp district and we had so much fun throwing axes for an hour! They were able to accommodate a walk in and are really taking covid19 precautions seriously! We watched Kaz disinfecting the throwing alleys while we got checked in. Everyone was wearing masks and there was hand sanitizer stations readily available. Kaz demonstrated how to throw 2 types of axes and a shovel head, and walked the group through fun game options. We were surprised at how it wasn't just an outlet for aggression but a skill game that requires you to focus on form! Super fun way to spend an hour with friends! It never felt dangerous or reckless! Maybe more like a fun grownup alternative to bowling :) read more

I was so happy to see this place was open again (saw on Instagram) & immediately booked an appointment. Aftet a couple months of being isolated = the need to throw something sharp at something instead of someone ;) When we walked in, we were the only ones in that time slot; the whole place has been redecorated with super cool new murals, decor and games. The owners greeted us with big smiles and like old friends chatted with us about all their new changes & reassured us about the extra measures they took for sanitizing all of the axes & areas. (I'm sure being closed super sucked for their small business so they were taking no chances!) We've been here a few times before & honestly we've watched them wipe down an area with sanitizing wipes after a group is done so it's nothing new to see. The only main difference now was we were all wearing masks now. Experience was still so fun! Took a little practice to get the hang of it again; the hubby is a shovel thrower--yes a shovel--who knew they could be such a handy little weapon too? My fave is the tomahawk and after a dozen or so practice throws, I was hitting the targets again one handed. You have GOTTA GO HERE! It's a fun way to get some aggression out, prices are reasonable, staff is super nice, and they have some classic arcade games for the non axe throwers! Just GO! Plus supporting a local small business makes you an awesome person. Win-win! read more

As a teenager, I learned how to fire a handgun. In the Marines, I became proficient with a rifle, grenades and other larger personnel weapons. Over the last few years, I've taken hand to hand combat in the form of boxing and Muay Thai kickboxing. What does this all mean? It means I've been preparing for the zombie apocalypse for most of my life! So naturally, I needed to add axe-throwing to my combat arsenal! So the next question was, where do I acquire this skill? At THROW IT! of course. It's downtown, near Petco Park and has 7 throwing lanes. Our host, Negar, was 17 levels of awesome. A few of us were nervous about safety and our ability to throw. Negar put us at ease with her tutelage, maintaining a high level of patience and compassion. She even took the time to observe and correct our throwing styles. Attentiveness was never an issue at this place. Like I said, Negar is 17 levels of awesome. I'm looking forward to going here again. read more

I've been wanting to go axe throwing for quite a while now since I tried it years ago overseas. Yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised by my boyfriend for my birthday and wound up out front of this awesome establishment. I actually jumped up and down when I realized this is what we were doing. We were greeted by a nice guy who checked IDs and had us sign a waiver and checked us in. We were at Throw It in the middle of the afternoon so we were the only two axe throwing which was cool. We got private instruction from him and the owner. They were super helpful and both really good with both axes, the tomahawk, and the shovel...yes, you read that correctly: shovel. I had no idea that a shovel could be aimed, thrown, and sunk into a 2x4. I won't even lie, I was not good at first. Had to stick with the two-handed throws only and had to figure out the right amount of strength to get the proper rotation. Took many, many, many terrible clunk-clang-thud throws to get it right and only worked when I used the regular long-handled axe. The owner showed us the bent knee throw to get more power behind your throw (yeah, she was really darn good!) but I had to stick with stepping into my throws and my throws were way more accurate. Once I got the knack , I hit the bullseye frequently. Throw It has a binder with a bunch of cool games to play. I don't remember the name of the one we played but you started with 30 points and deducted from the number of the ring you landed on. There were extra points for hitting the kill shot which neither of us did. I one game one and he won game two so we will be going back so because there is a win I must get! We did the hour session which was $30/pp but I got some sort of discount because I mentioned it was my birthday. (They did verify that with my ID.) I can absolutely feel all that physical exertion today and it was so worth it. Only thing missing was a water source. I was super thirsty after destroying all of those boards with my mighty axe. HA! There was a fridge with energy drinks which I don't drink and some various sodas. Not sure if they were purchase. Didn't see a sign and forgot to ask. Yeah, I see a return trip to Throw It in my near future...this weekend. read more

We went here on 08/29/2020 and felt very safe due to their COVID-19 policies and procedures. First, you schedule online a date, time, and indicate your party size. I recommend signing the liability waiver beforehand to make it easier to check-in for your appointment. Once we got to the place, we had a gift card and redeemed it at the location with no problems. As part of their safety procedures, we had to wear our masks at all times, the axes were sprayed with disinfectants, and we had two lanes to ourselves for social distancing. The staff also gives you tips, tricks, and techniques beforehand so you know how you should be throwing the axe as opposed to just flinging it aimlessly. It's $30 for an hour and it's worth what you pay for. I'm from LA and I would definitely make the drive back to Gaslamp/SD to do this again. read more

Soooooo much fun!! We had a blast and really recommend it for a great time. They show you a few different ways of throwing and it's not as hard to do as you may think. The employees are very friendly and helpful. You do have to go online and sign a waiver in order to play. (You know just in case you get hurt) but they are there every step of the way if you need help or have any questions. This is a great idea to break out of the normal stuff to do, it's exciting and lots of fun. I would definitely recommend it and I'll be back again soon! read more

This place is amazing! We dropped by on a whim and already want to come back. Everyone here was super friendly and helpful. Never having thrown an axe before, we got an instructional on each type of axe. In 20 mins we were able to stick all four. My 18 year old daughter had the most fun. If you are reading reviews, you just need to come have an hour of pure fun! Thank you, Throw It! You guys are awesome read more

I wandered in here randomly yesterday with a friend. I can't even begin to describe how much fun we had! We did the 1 hour session and they give you 3 different kinds of axes to use. WE HAD A BLAST! I absolutely recommend Throw It to everyone who wants to try this out. It's also a women-owned local business which I'm thrilled to support. On a side note: I was spending time with a lady that evening and she commented on how manly I smelled. I absolutely give Throw It credit for increasing my manliness, if only for a day. :) read more

It was my family and I's first time axe throwing. We are from riverside and we're staying at the hotel across this place. We were able to make reservations on the same day. It is quite a smaller place than I expected but the reservations made sure that the place was not crowded especially during a pandemic. The place was clean and organized. My younger brother loved the free video game machine they had as well. Overall, a great family activity. read more

We were looking for a group bonding activity for our wedding party and their plus ones and came across axe throwing. The women we spoke to over the phone was very easy to work with. They accommodated our request to start at 11 am even though they do not open until 12 pm. We made reservations for a group of 20 but ended up with 15 for the actual count. We had to prepay for everything upfront but would be refunded any difference the day of. There was a minimum requirement of 15 for them to open earlier than 11 am. Our wedding party had a blast. We were the only ones there so they allowed us to use all their lanes. We spent some time practicing then went into competition mode with teams of two. There is a variety of different games they will show you to play. There are also other activists in the establishment you can play with such as an arcade machine and a giant Jenga puzzle. There's also a photo booth with props. Overall, we accomplished our goal of having our wedding party group bond before the wedding over this unique one hour activity. Tips: Complete the waiver online before you go in. It will help save a lot of time. It might just be for large parties but they said we can bring our own alcohol in. We did not do this but I would inquire with them for more info. read more

I was nervous at first but everyone was so encouraging! We came at 4:00pm on a Friday and we had the whole place to ourselves!
