Came here at 2pm on a Sunday. No one else was there so we had the place to ourselves. It kind of took away from the ambiance but we had a good time. There was one person working who was super nice and got our drinks and checked in on us but otherwise left us to play. I wasn't a huge fan of their board or the closeness of the targets but we adjusted and had fun playing. You only get to throw the hatchet here unfortunately so no other fun things to play around with. We kept score with their laminated scoreboard. read more

This place was SOOOOOOO FUNNNNNN!!! Came here on a work holiday event and I absolutely love their entire deal... bar with drinks, lanes with axe throwing and they even offer to either have a trainer do an initial session OR stay the entire time! We opted to have an initial session and then be let loose. They even gave us dry erase boards to keep track of scores. We had a part of 11 and it didn't take too long but also didn't go by too fast to get through everyone. We showed up at 5:30, started throwing at 6pm and I think were done by 7:30 so we could get to dinner at 7:45. Overall it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fun and we will DEFINITELY be back for more axe throwing!!! read more

This was a fun place to go to. We found a Groupon and took advantage of coming here for date night. An excellent way to get rid of some frustration, have good laughs and grab a drink or two. A relaxed vibe and met some new friends while throwing. read more

Throw Nation - Axe Throwing Near Me - Dublin, Ohio

Great place for a date night! You get an hour for $65 per couple. Drinks for purchase at the bar. You can also bring food in too! They have a worker show you the ropes and how to throw. read more

The staff was super friendly and super helpful. I recommend and plan of coming back to Throw Nation.

In a very forgotten spot right off 270 and sawmill, but it is a great location! What's better than throwing axes and having a full bar?! Some great local beers as well. The thing that sets this location apart is the games you play with the other lane beside you. We came with 2 middle schoolers and 2 adults and had a blast! The host was great and helped in every way. read more

4.0 Stars Location Overview: Find this chill and kickass spot on Sawmill and Bridge Park in the Dublin Center. This place is pretty freaking cool. They have different sections; an area of lanes for axe throwing, a "field" for football bowling, and I'm not sure where the area is for plate breaking-use softballs or baseballs for this. And there is a large bar set dead in the middle of it all. Definitely an adult version of puttputt golf. Customer Service: Fantastic customer service here. We get out own waitress as if we were at a restaurant she shows you how games work and attends to any food or drinks you acquire. The bartender was pretty cool as well. They do offer soft drinks too. As well as a short list of bar food/snacks. Quality/Quantity: The quality of this place is outstanding. They make sure all items used for stress relieving demolition is set properly so you can get a full experience. The quantity is what fell short. Just as we were interested in plate breaking they offered other accommodations for other games due to not having anymore plates. While this was not a huge issue it did kind of suck to not be able to partake in this. Side Notes: Definitely check this out as a 3rd date event or with just some cool friends. Definitely a stress reliever. read more

I had never thrown a football at bowling pins. I was not good (but I can't wait to go back.) I'll say this here- YOU NEED TO COME HERE. They have something for everyone. First- our group came to Throw Nation primarily to Bowl- with footballs- by throwing them. Not your father's NFL or even Aunt Maude's Saturday afternoon Bowling For Dollars. This was much better. I attached a photo of the rules of the game, but if you're lucky you'll have the amazing "Ang the last Axe Bender" (AKA Daria) to guide you through the ins-and-outs of the game. She was great! Basically you throw a football at the pins to try and knock over as many as you can. The pins are actual, full weighted bowling pins- so they won't topple over in a close call or at the surprise gust of a mighty wind. But here's the catch- during the game, if a pin is knocked over for any reason it's fair game and stays down. So if you accidentally knock a pin over because you tripped on a Canadian team mate- it counts the same as if the opposition knocked it over. If the opponent throws the ball and it bounces off the wall, your leg and then topples three pins on the back row- they count. We learned that one the hard way, but our team finally won the last of our three matches. We left the playing field with a smaller slice of what pride we came in with, but really success is just playing this game here. What's going on at the far wall when you arrive is what this place is really known for though- the axe throwing. Think Grizzly Adams meets James Bond for drinks, shaken- not stirred- and they bring three friends each. What you get is an opportunity to throw axes at targets, score points and feel like your life needs much more plaid in it, all while contemplating the max possible length of your beard. There are even axe throwing leagues for those who catch the fever- and believe me, the fever was for more than just cowbell. Which brings up a good point- you sign a waiver as soon as you arrive. Trust me, you should, because while throwing things like axes, footballs and other items can be fun- word on the street is it can also be somewhat dangerous. There is a menu with pizza and other items, local craft beers, domestics and a full bar. But as the sign says- no liquor for those who are throwing axes. Sounds like a good rule to have. There are TVs and projection screens to make sure you don't miss a pitch, play or match. But- here's a tip: if you're throwing an axe, forget about the TV and just try not to scalp your cousin Ricky. They do take walk-ups but honestly you're better off looking on the website and locking in a time to go- it can get busy and you don't want to show up and miss out on the fun. There are some cool shirts for sale too! (Why didn't I think to have axes added to the American flag to replace an occasional stripe. Genius.) Ok- you've heard me now make a plan to try Throw Nation yourself. + Great games + Food and a full bar + YOU GET TO THROW AXES!!!!! + Fun, active and likable staff members (Like Ang the Ace Bender, who's name was actually Daria, and she was awesome!) + Plenty of space and tables + Ample parking + Reservations available online to make sure you and your friends/family/targets get to play when you want. And I guarantee you will leave with at least one great story to tell. Hopefully it won't be at your expense, but even then you will have a great time of you go. read more

Pretty fun time. Never done this before and wanted to get and do something different. Upon arriving for our reserved, appointed time, we were asked if we had completed our waiver online. Was not aware we could have completed it online as their instructions were to arrive 15 minutes early. Then they will have you scan a QR code to complete the waiver on your mobile phone. The waiver is quite a lengthy document and challenge to actually read on a mobile phone. Guess they are protecting their axes. They were not very busy on Saturday afternoon but told us they get really busy on Friday and Saturday evenings. Center of the building is a large bar. They had at least a dozen beers on tap while the selection of liquor, while limited, had a couple of each different type. Food options are pretty limited, a couple appetizers and personal size pizza. We decided to skip that and go out somewhere else afterwards. After grabbing our drinks, we were led to our axe lanes and giving a brief safety overview and "how to" from throwing. Thought we were supposed to have someone coaching us the whole time, but we were left to our own axes. After that, we were pretty much on our own. Wasn't sure whether there was a particular goal / score / game that you strive for. So, we made up our own and had fun doing so. Okay ... I am really bad at throwing axes. The targets looked pretty chewed up from other axe throwers. Not sure how often they refresh their targets. Still a great time to spend with friends or family! Felt like a pretty laid-back environment. Fun way to spend an afternoon with a group of friends. read more

To summarize my experience, the 50% off coupon I received for my next visit to Throw Nation was a blasphemous waste of paper and I pity the tree whose life was cut short to only have that coupon printed on it. We made a reservation, and once I saw our instructor's sweatshirt read "VIRGINITY ROCKS", I knew this was going to be a long night. This dude single-handedly reduced 4 stars from an assumptive 5 star review - that is impressively bad. I'm not sure what was worse - his seemingly endless tide of potty humor or the fact that he was simply rude; just plain, old, mean spirited. At various points in the evening, multiple people in our group actually had to ask him to stop talking to us. So, in closure, I write to you, whatever your name is - As fun as it may seem to you, we dont want to chant "jack off". I also would like to avoid the topic of "blue balls" while my mother is present, despite how obvious that innuendo may be in relation to axe throwing. Thirdly, and most importantly, self reflect. Maybe it is just me, maybe I'm just old fashioned. Who knows, but get off my lawn. Plus one star because the beer list was good. read more

A group of friends took me to Throw Nation for my birthday. We had been once for open throw, but the guided games were SO much more fun. Our axpert was Daria and she was soooo much fun. She brought out the competitiveness in us all & made a fun experience that much more enjoyable. While my team didn't win the trophy, we still had fun trash talking each other and laughing until our backs hurt. read more

What a fun place! My boyfriend has been wanting to go axe throwing since the Renaissance Festival! We did the walk-in price for $20 since it was just the two of us and didn't mind sharing a lane if it came down to it. They taught us a quick lesson on technique and then gave us score sheets like you would in bowling. We had an amazing time! They also have football bowling and a full bar! The staff was very friendly and polite and made you feel comfortable throwing an axe! Great place for laughs and fun! We will define be back with a group of friends! read more

I just went to Throw Nation for my Bachelorette party and we had such a fun time! It's an awesome space-they have a huge bar with great beer selection. I loved the names of their specialty cocktails, but I stuck to beer since we were throwing axes (they do ask that you skip the hard liquor if you're throwing sharp objects, which I think is a good safety requirement)! Our instructor William was great-he was so friendly and made sure everyone felt included, while also making sure I felt special as the Bachelorette! We were a big group with varied axe throwing experience and he kept us on track and entertained. I would absolutely go back! read more

Hubby and I decided that we wanted to get out of the house one afternoon, so after finding this place on Groupon (and buying their groupon), we took our daughter and one of her friends here. When we got in, we were told that our "lane" wasn't ready yet, but we could grab a drink at the bar, or play the pinball machines at the back until it was ready. When our lane was ready, we were taken over and greeted by an employee who would be watching over our session. Now, I've been to an axe throwing place in Vegas, and I really thought it would be similar to that experience - which was basically here's how to throw the axe, now have at it. The experience was COMPLETELY different. First of all, we were told we needed to pick names for our name tags that had the word Axe in it. Okay great. Then we were told that we would be playing a series of games against another team (they were separated from us by a plexiglass wall), and that is when the fun really began. We played tic-tac-toe, and went head to head regarding points. It was a lot of fun! I had a good time, and I know the kids did! At the end, we were given some free time to just throw the axes, which was also fun. I'll definitely be back! read more

Had a great experience at Throw Nation! To start, the parking is very convenient. Inside, the facility is configured to accommodate a sizable crowd and the games are positioned well out of the main bar area. We were greeted pleasantly and asked to sign our release forms. The spoke of the facility is the bar with a very nice craft beer selection, priced nicely. The bar service was swift and cordial. Our axe-pert, Daria, kept the seven guys in our group engaged and entertained with a variety of games and jokes. She was a great sport guiding mostly novices with patience and technique suggestions while making sure we all were aware of the safety rules. The axe games were fun and time flew by as we we ended stamping our high point winner "Lumber Lord." There are other games at the facility, but we ran out of time to play them. Something new for next time. read more

My family had a great time at Throw Nation! It was our first time going and we had no idea what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised! The staff was all in masks and we felt comfortable the whole time. We'll definitely be going back! read more

Throw Nation - Axe Throwing Near Me - Dublin, Ohio

First (but not last!) axe throwing experience. We happened to be on a date night with another couple, but this would be perfect for any group - family, friends, networking. Our guide, Eli, was amazing - super fun, with that witty sense of humor that I particularly appreciate. He quickly got us started with the basics and did a wonderful job bringing our group and another together in lively, competitive spirit. Personally, his coaching helped me channel my inner "bad axe" to where I think I might have found my new hobby! Only two suggestions... 1) servers or runners to take and deliver orders from the bar would be helpful (none at least the night we visited) and 2) free t-shirt (free advertising) for the overall winner! You've got to do this at least once, and if you're anything like me, you'll leave thinking about who you can bring next. Can't wait to go back! read more

Throw Nation - It's all about the follow through. Take your stance and throw that axe! - Axe Throwing Near Me - Dublin, Ohio

We had SO MUCH fun!! I would recommend going as a large group. We went as just two of us and got lucky and had an awesome group that were welcoming. It could have been awkward though had we had a different group. We also had Coleman as our "host", he was fun, engaging, encouraging, patient, and a good coach. He definitely made the experience even better. The beer selection was great and it was a perfect location! I would definitely recommend checking this out with friends. read more

Wow, does this place deliver. It's great for first timers like myself but also for regulars as they have a full bar and other activities. But the axe throwing is where it's at. Though mixing beer and sharp projectiles probably isn't 100% safe. With a liability waiver, any fan can get their axe throwing on. read more

They've got several stalls for axe throwing but it's probably best to make a reservation. It was pretty busy when we arrived. They also have other activities off to the sides. We did the axe throwing which consisted of trying to hit specific numbers to fill in a tic-tac-toe board or getting your score down from 31 to 0. Austin was great at giving instructions and keeping things moving! read more

Didn't know about this location until I saw it ok Groupon! Axe throwing was a lot more fun that expected but I felt like most of our group could have done with some additional practice time before starting the games. But, the employee assigned to our lane was great-he made the experience even better. One thing to note is that it gets really warm in there. Wear layers so that you're not sweating by the end. You spend a lot of time in close quarters, so you'll be happy you did. Would definitely recommend axe throwing at Throw Nation for a group activity or date night! read more

What a fun way to spend afternoon! The facility itself is a great spot....not only do you have ax throwing but many other fun games and a great beer selection.

Wonderful place, great employees, fantastic time! I encourage others to go! Fun time for all!

If you are tired of the daily grind and need to let out some energy in a unique way, Throw Nation is the place to go. I only spent time on the axe range, but they have other activities. Friendly staff who spend time explaining the process of heaving hatchets at your targets. I would like to go back and just throw some axes on my own time. read more

Throw Nation - Axe throwing lane - Axe Throwing Near Me - Dublin, Ohio

2nd time I've been here and both times similar experience. You are treated as if it's inconvenient. The drink list, both printed version and what's written on the chalk boards above do not match at all. The bartenders have been unpleasant each time, "sorry to bother you" is how it feels. Now, the axe throwing is fun and the folks helping with the activities have been good and engaging. No problem there. read more

Great place the host that were teaching us how to throw the axe correctly and safely. It was very engaging and fun I had a blast I went for a employee engagement I was very hesitant at first but got more engaged as the game went along. The banquet food was a a little disappointing the pretzels were hard and over cooked. I am a vegetarian so I wish there was a different variety of snacks. read more

Such a neat place! We heard about this location on Groupon....we snagged the deal and gave it a shot. It was our anniversary and we were looking for something different to do and this was it. We had heard about axe throwing but never been able to try. The facility was nice, clean, and the staff was so helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back soon with a group of friends! They offer so much more than axe throwing!!! Can't wait to try it all out. 10/10 for sure! read more

Posting a review for a team from Wendy's! When we first told everyone that we would be throwing axes for a team activity, they had their reservations.. but we had an absolute blast at Throw Nation. Our ax throwing instructor was Aang the Last Axebender (Daria) and she was great. Daria is super personable and energetic, and she took the time to make sure at least everyone hit the target. I would highly recommend Throw Nation for your next work outing, we won't be forgetting the experience anytime soon! read more

Fun environment, great beers and friendly staff. We had a reservation and were paired up with 6 other people, which at first we thought it was odd, but after getting to know everyone through the throw nation employee we had a blast! Side games are a little expensive for what they are (beersbee, football bowling). We would recommend anyone who hasn't tried it to go, but make sure you're ready to spend some money! read more

Came here for a bachelorette party and had an amazing time!! I thought it was going to be kinda boring and just open-throwing, but it was actually really fun with competitive games and everything.
