    What better way to enjoy a Saturday night than with ax throwing! My daughter and I wanted to try something different so we decided to head to Tribal Axe and try it out since we'd never been. I purchased the tickets online, which were $25 pp, and the only availability was for 9pm so I took it. As soon as we arrived, we were happily greeted at the front desk, watched a brief video and were escorted to our area. The area was pretty secluded with just one other cage right next to us so I liked that a lot. The associate that guided us gave us a brief overview of how to properly throw the ax and where to stand. After that, we were given an hour to have fun. A waitress came by to take our order so we decided on the Pickle Fries, Loaded Fries and Chicken Quesadilla! I was pleasantly surprised by the food, all of the food tasted amazing, especially the Loaded Fries!!!! Overall, my daughter and I had an amazing time! I will say, ax throwing isn't as easy as it looks. My daughter got the hang of it right away but it took me some time to get the technique....but once I did, I was a pro lol. We laughed and enjoyed ourselves the entire time and will definitely be returning. We saw a few bigger parties there as well so this place is perfect for birthdays parties, celebrations or just a fun night out.

    When the kids get older you have to find creative ways to get them all together. Thanks tribal are for the help with that. We had a great time. Food and drinks were great too.

    This was so much fun. The people working there took their time to show us different ways to throw the axe. Showed us rules and regulations to be safe. This is great to go in a group of friends. We had some drinks and appetizers as well to help us Along the way in keeping the fun going. Would do this again and again

    Date night, better axe somebody! Booked/paid/submitted waivers online. $46+ tip for 2 people on a single lane for 1 hour. Txt confirmation was a plus since we had to txt back to move our reservation. Plenty of parking in the shared lot outside; didn't know what to expect inside. Masks required! Welcome desk checks IDs then directs you to the safety video/rules sheet. A host then escorted us to our lane before our coach, Caleb, gave us lessons. I stunk at first while my wife owned it. Ended up catching on pretty well, so much that Caleb started showing us trick shots with up to 4 axes! Nice guy. Wife and I kept score for the first 2 rounds then did our own thing. Sheet they provide has conventional scoring or 2 of each number bingo scoring. They serve food and adult beverages with servers constantly cruising around. Kinda concerning given environment, so you should stay aware of surroundings; you know, you're throwing sharp objects. We didn't partake since we went to dinner before coming. It was pretty loud inside due to the volume of people. At times, you get startled bc of proximity/orientation of other lanes perpendicular to your chill area. Restrooms on site. Leagues available in case you get sucked in. Near place for a singles, groups, coworkers, or date night.

    Great fun and great stress relief. Friendly staff. An amazing time Learning how to toss an axe and forget about the days stresses.

    It's axe throwing! While you're highly recommended to make a reservation, you can walk in and score a lane depending on your luck. The staff is nice and attentive, and the food is pretty okay. I ordered the loaded fries which didn't look as I expected but were good enough to finish and the sunset soda was definitely something I'd order again. As for the axe throwing itself, it's fun but gets boring somewhat quick. The things is making it interesting among your group.

    After looking at reviews online and hearing about it from a co-worker, I decided to try this place out for myself and see if it was the rage everyone was talking about. It was me, my girlfriend and three friends of ours who decided to do an hour session. Since it was a mid-level size group, we were very fortunate to have a section with two targets. We were trained on how to throw axes (you're given a small and big one), where to stand when you throw your axe and what not to do (walk towards your target when someone's throwing an axe to where you could get hurt is a very big one). And once that was finished, off the races we went. I had no idea it was gonna be that HARD to ace hitting targets with axes. But boy oh boy was I in for a rude awakening. For probably 15 minutes, I didn't hit a single point (we weren't even taking points since this was all for fun) and even asking for assistance from our trainer, who was very friendly and informative. I was doing so bad that one of our friends literally told me to 'think about throwing an axe at someone you want to kill'.........no joke!!! I was like 'I can't do that!!', but at this stage, I wanted to score a point. So the harder I threw my axe (I mostly prefer the smaller one), I started to score!!! And hold and behold, I hit the bullseye shot.....not one, but twice!!!! They weren't exactly the 'on the money' shots, but you can count them as shots. Much fun indeed!!! At the end of the day, it was a blast. And a workout at that!!! My arm ended up hurting for a couple of days, but it was worth the experience. Expect a workout when coming to this place. A fun environment with fun trainers who are willing to help out anyway they can. And friends who give you support. Check this place out!!

    AMAZING!!! My husband gave me a surprise 50th birthday party. You do not need skill going into it. That is why this was so great. My group was from 10 to 59 men and woman. We had THE BEST time ever!!! The facility was very organized checking us in, instructing us and getting us started. Instructors are always watching to make sure everyone is getting 100% out of the axe throwing experience. One instructor came by and showed me a trick and I improved with the very same axe. It was immediately rewarding. Ya gotta try it

    Such a fun and different experience! Tribal Axe is located in a small business center with not many signs, so make sure you keep your eyes peeled. Been meaning to come here for weeks with my coworkers, but they get booked fairly quickly, especially for larger parties. When we went, we had 9 in our party. Some had to sign their waiver once there and it was no hassle. The entryway is small but they do have a fridge with drinks for sale and a bathroom of course. Past the entryway are about 8-10 lanes within 4-5 cages. Since our group was big, we had 2 lanes. The coaches were the best! They laid down the rules and regulations and consistently interacted with us throughout our session. They helped us with our stance and even showed us new throwing tricks! Though...I wouldn't advise until more experienced Lol. We stayed for an hour and it was perfect timing for completing a game. You have 2 throws with different sized axes waiting on a cinder block. Sometimes the axe bounces off the wood, so make sure you are paying attention! The only downside to Tribal Axe is its size. Thankfully it was a nice day outside, but there is virtually no waiting space here. The axe throwing area was packed and though there were a few chairs by the lanes, it was hard to see all the action with people standing in front of you and walking by. The entryway has no chairs, so there are a few once you get into the axe range(?) but it doesn't suffice when you have a big party on top of other parties waiting around too. I think going on a day/time when it's less congested is better. Though, the space thing honestly didn't interrupt the overall experience which is why I'm still giving 5 stars. Regardless of space, everyone in our party thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and definitely plan to visit again!

    A pretty solid place! $20 pp for an hour. You can make appointments which is highly advised during their busy hours, walk-ins are available during slower times of the day. I definitely recommend calling ahead if you don't have an appointment and they can advise you as needed. I inquired about military discounts. They do offer a 10% military discount with proof. Currently they are not able to apply the discount online, but in person they can. Waivers are signed online or at the store. The storefront looks like a typical business/shop, however of course it's in a warehouse. They sell cold non alcoholic beverages for $2. We were greeted by the owner who was super friendly and definitely enthusiastic about their business which is always awesome! She provided us with information about the facility and showed us the tabletop Jenga table where we could play while waiting for a lane. They currently have an all female staff which of course is super helpful when giving tips on throwing. They can teach you how to do backward throws which my friend did. I didn't want to accidentally kill anyone so I held off on that. We did try some double handed throws and underhanded throws. There are 5 lanes and each lane has two targets and I'm deferring the max number of people in a group to a lane to the website or for staff. We only had three people in our group so it made it easier to rotate. They have some other different axes they handed to us to try out which was cool. For the most part each person had 4 smaller axes and then one long handled 2lb axe. Safety rules are simple. -people in the same lane throw at the same time. -stay within the yellow box when throwing. -retrieve axes at the same time. Retrieve the axes in the target first then the ones on the ground. ALWAYS make sure all the axes are thrown before retrieving axes. Most importantly make sure you're paying attention when axes are thrown because they ricochet at times. Also they have a league! $125 I think, (just double check ) for 7 or 8 weeks. They have a cap on the number of players. Check with the owner! This is definitely a great addition to the Hampton roads area!! Come do some throws for shows! You'll have an "axe"citing time! Haha sorry I had to do it! It's a very clean facility with one bathroom and several tables and chairs. It does get hot in there. They have an Industrial floor fan which helped and cross ventilation going on.

    We both hit the target!

    How busy on Fridays is it? Looking to go around 6!

    You will need to book in advance anyhow. You can do that on line and it will show available time. I booked mine a week ahead with prepayment.

    How many lanes to reserve for a group of 10-15?

    You will have 3 lanes and for the group size you get 2 hours of throw time.

There's a small selection of can drinks including alcoholic ones, tea, soda, water. I liked that they stock Sly Clyde's cider from Hampton. Not sure sharp objects and alcohol is the best idea but everyone seemed to be behaving responsibly. We were escorted to some bays that had two lanes next to each other and then separated by a fence before two more open lanes. We were given a safety brief at the lanes with people in two other lanes and some instructions on how to throw. Don't pass axes by hand, put them in the return box. Different styles of how to throw. Thankfully we had the full bay to ourselves since so one was in the open bay next to us. We played for 75 min which was a comfortable amount of time. They also have a knife throwing option which we didn't select. There's some seating available near the throwing area for non players. Each bay has a standing bar with two backless metal seats. I was able to throw comfortably with a walking boot on for a sprained ankle. I appreciated that since I didn't even think of that before reserving a space. I was nervous at first but managed to do ok with the over head two hand throw. The bay attendant didn't check on us after bringing our pretzel bites and so it didn't seem necessary to tip for service. We were able to get an additional score cards on the way to the snack area and that is where you close out your tab for your outing. The kiosk offers a tip option so maybe they share with the attendants. I talked with a friend who had been there previously and she said the booth attendant asked for a tip when she went and that was off putting. That wasn't our experience though. Overall we spent just over $100 for our date night. While there is snacky food available, it's not the type of place you are going for dinner and fun. Get a meal before or after somewhere else. The bay next to us had plans to go to Buffalo Wild Wings across the street.
