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 .....

Row D.

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.

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.

Love love love this place!!!!! Eric was soooooo great and made sure everyone was hitting their targets and having a blast.

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!

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!

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.

Jesse H.

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.

Stacy L.

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

If I could give more stars I would! Everything was perfect yesterday at Throw It! We went for a birthday party and we always roll deep.... 20+.... Most of us were 80s babies so we completely loved the decor! And all the retro video games! The owners were so patient with the littles of our group and gave them the confidence to throw and actually connect with the board. They also played games with our group since we had a bunch of competitive peeps. I highly recommend throw it to everyone of all ages! We will def be going back!!! read more

Terrible customer service. We were visiting from out of town, wanted to do something fun, and last minute. We scheduled a time slot for 10pm and quickly upon the discovery of the mass amounts of traffic, closed roads, and time frame, and parking issues. We were not making our axe throwing adventure. My husband called explaining that it was Cinco De Mayo, the roads were closed, there was no parking, and we had been stuck in traffic for 45 minutes trying to find any sort of parking. The lady on the other end told us there was a no refund policy but she could try her hardest to reschedule us for another day. We told her we leave in the morning we're from hours away and was just visiting. She refused to help us any further, and told us to email the company. Good thing our bank, is amazing because this place is too expensive for no refunds. There is another location in San Diego with much nicer people, who are much more understanding. Check them out instead. *Our dinner has nothing to do with a 10pm time slot. Cool though.* Also we told you we were from OUT of town. How were any of your accommodations really helpful? Especially when you reserved other lanes for padre fans. You told us once we moved it one time we weren't allowed to move it again. Not that it was an option for us. We were from out of town, had no clue about the area, or any of the issues. You could've just given us a refund, read more

So we just went in and they said "Yeah you guys can throw some axes." So we did it and this was one the most random and by far one of the coolest things I've done.

For someone who has never thrown an Axe before, the thought of doing so was extremely intimidating but the minute you walk in you're greeted by childhood memories and friendly faces! You're greeted by PAC Man, Donkey Kong and an amazing Tetris bar to life size games! The staff are awesome and you're instructed by someone who is passionate about the sport (he knows what he's doing!) Throw it is very clean and kid friendly, my boys absolutely LOVED Jenga and Connect Four. But, can I mention how this location is in the perfect spot for baseball season? Padre fans will love to come work out some aggression after a game. Amazing job! read more

Parking is downtown, so you may have to park a block away or so, but it was not an issue.

Anyway, my friends and I arrived for our reservation. The person who greeted us was friendly. We had to fill out a waiver and then pay before entering. He gave us a quick talk about the concessions, most of which were not available that eventing. He also gave us a bit of direction as to how to throw the ax. He also told us about the house rules. We settled in for a moment. We had all come directly from work, so were a bit hungry and thirsty. We had planned to get dinner nearby after, but wanted a little something at the moment. Unfortunately, we were told they had no pizza that night, so a pretzel was the only option. Also, they had just a few beer options and three mediocre wine options. My friends each had a beer, and I chose a Sauvignon Blanc. The drinks were fine.... nothing special, but we were there for the axes. Surprisingly, the pretzel was pretty good.. Despite the fact that we had been given a 2-minute tutorial about throwing the axes, most of the games they had made no sense to us. We gained a bit of guidance from the group next to us. I also made an effort to ask our staff person some questions. However, I still feel like we had really not clue how the games worked. We were only given one ax for our group of three. It was just one style. I have been axe- throwing before, and they had lots of different possibilities. I remember that I had fun trying the different styles. In my past experience, they also gave us more education about the games we could play together so we didn't feel so lost. They were also more available for consult. I think Axe-Thro is a fine place to go if you want to throw some axes. It is not the best for bar food and dinks, or if you want a little information on the games you are playing.

I have been meaning to come back because I love going to rage rooms to release tension. At the time, they had memberships that included a membership to Planet Fitness I believe! I had the $50 one and I believe I got one or two free sessions a month and I could bring a friend discounted :) I really love this rage room because it's close to home, and it's not up priced like crazy! Hoping to come back really soon!

Harper was a great instructor. I'll never forget his advice "back that axe up" Again, bring cash to tip. I'm not sure about the time limit since I didn't book it, but my husband estimated it was an hour and fifteen minutes total. So about half an hour for the rage room and 45 minutes for axe throwing. They sell some snacks and beverages at the front desk. Would absolutely return.

After finishing up eating at Bub's me and friends came across this awesome axe throwing place right around the corner near moonshine flats. As we walked in we noticed the 80's game theme on the wall. They have arcade game and it's free play for the axe throwers. The instructor was awesome, he hit 3 bullseye in a row with 2 different axes and a shovel. We did an hour of axe throwing and we played 3 different games. It was super fun and would love to come back and visit. read more

My buddies and I wandered in here after being at Bub's for a while watching the game. We didn't know what to expect, but it ended up being awesome. The staff, atmosphere, and experience exceeded all of our expectations. Initially, we only booked the 30 minute session, but ended up extending our reservation, because we were having such a great time. They have different games they have you play to make things more competitive and fun. We will definitely be back! read more

The clues were clever, challenging, and genuinely fun to solve. We split into six teams; next time I'd aim for teams of 4-5 instead of 5-6, but that's on me. I can't recommend this event highly enough. It was the perfect mix of adventure, teamwork, and good laughs. I'm already planning to join one of Alex's public scavenger hunts in the future.

I was on the hunt for a ropes course for my sister's bachelorette weekend for MONTHS. I couldn't find one that was 1) in the area 2) in our price range and 3) open on July 4th. Not a single one. And then I received an e-mail that UCSD would open up their challenge course for us...a bunch of ladies (and two gentlemen!) who did not know what we were getting ourselves into for a couple hours on a Saturday morning. We only did the highs-only course that was 50 ft up in the air. This included walking on wires, jumping across platforms, upper body strength, and ziplining...to name a few. I know it's not the typical "bachelorette" extravaganza, but I wanted something thrilling and adventurous that we could all participate in together. That's exactly what this challenge course does; it tests your limits and helps to strengthen collaboration, but most importantly, it's FUN! I, personally, was not frightened by the height or tasks we had to do, but it was definitely exhilarating on another level (no pun intended.) I write this review with a profound gratitude for this company because they exceeded my expectations. THANK YOU for giving us a reasonable price per person (every other company I called was $3000-4000 for a group of 12,) being open just for us on a holiday, and integrating such vibrant personalities to lead us through the course. I wish we could have tried things like Leap of Faith, etc., but perhaps there's always another time! I think I've found a new hobby. :)

If we had another 5 mins, I think we would have escaped. Our mistake was taking too long on a couple puzzles but also overlooking some of the clues! Some are right under your nose! If you like lots of puzzles, Rock the Clock! Do Rock the Clock! It's hard to write a review without giving anything away, but this was definitely a good time! Unlimited hints, $40 per person, one hour time limit. We'll definitely be back in the future to try the other one. 5 stars for Naron! 5 stars for Rock the Clock!
