The shared parking lot was a hit or miss to find a spot. We had to circle for a bit. Entry includes a drink which as appreciated. You can bring your own food as there's no food served here. As a newbie, i felt that the axe throwing sections were too close to each other. My son has been to another ax throwing venue and confirmed that the other place had more space. Our instructor was great and offered lots of tips! read more

I know I'm late to the party- but, dang, axe throwing is fun! I first heard about it SIX years ago, and it has taken me this long to get around to trying it. We had a terrific coach, Chelsea, who was very encouraging and helpful. She was absolutely correct- the less you think about it, the more you get "out of your head" about technique, and just DO IT! Even though I scored "the one who had the most fun " place (AKA last place), I had a blast! Highly recommend you try it. YOLO. read more

Came here with some friends right before thanksgiving and we had a great time!! They had a discount going on for the holidays so the prices were really good too and it comes with a drink!! The workers were really friendly and helpful!! We were the only group there so we had a lot of fun playing against each other and making up challenges even if it was pretty difficult read more

Great experience here as axe throwing is one of my favorite hobbies. Was in town visiting and my friend new this is my schtick! We stopped by on a mid Saturday afternoon and were able to get a lane for 2. We had Callie as an instructor and while I fancy myself as a very good axe thrower, she showed me some tips and motions that enhanced my talents. They whole staff is pretty cool actually. When I return to Austin, this will definitely be one of my stops!! read more

Had such a great time. I wish I could remember the name of our coach, she was great! Was helpful in correcting our form and keeping it all moving. The 90 minutes flew by. The only bummer was my wife kicking everyone's ass savagely. It was no contest. Highly recommend for a fun time. read more

Great experience and would definitely recommend coming here for any celebration or just to have fun! Staff is personable, friendly, and filled with great puns. Shoutout to Scott for letting us put the axes in his axe hold. BYOB so keep that in mind before you head over. For what should be obvious reasons wear closed toe shoes only. Being a first timer the coaches did a great job of emphasizing safety and providing feedback on throws. If you've been curious about throwing an axe you have to come down and try it. It took me about 5 throws to feel comfortable, but the coaches were really helpful in building my confidence. Excellent staff that will ensure safety and fun for everyone! read more

We came here for a fun little Sunday date and had such a blast! Our coach, Brandon was very informative and also fun to throw axes with! I've thrown axes at other establishments but never had the opportunity to learn multiple throws (like underhand) or try different axes. Brandon also taught us a few games to play and explained more advanced play like the leagues they have at the facility. By the end of our hour we were both basically able to throw a bullseye on command--still working on that clutch though. Thanks Urban Axes and Brandon! We'll definitely be coming back for more fun! read more

I was here for the Yelp Elite event and Urban Axes never disappoints! The location is great and plenty of parking even better! The employees here are like family and treat the customers the same and it truly shows! Tomas hosted the Yelp Elite event and I saw him manage this by himself which was very impressive and getting everyone situated and accommodating everyone super quick! We appreciate all the hard work he does for us (He should get a raise from Yelp headquarters...lol). We had a blast at this event and met some awesome people! I also have to give a shout out to our Axe coach definitely humble & knowledgeable! I will definitely recommend this spot to anyone interested in learning or relieving some stress! read more

This event was really fun! We were taught how to throw axes double handed and single handed and had some time to practice as well. The instructor I worked with was helpful in providing feedback on form and correction. The staff was friendly and helpful. They went over the rules clearly and there were no incidents I was aware of. read more

This place is absolutely amazing!! Shoutout to the coaches who helped me here (i was finally able to get an axe on the board lol.) Babs was so helpful in giving me little tips and tricks on how to throw for both me and my boyfriend, as well as Leo who gave me his own axe to help me throw better! Izabella was also so nice and helpful!! i would recommend this place for a fun night out with your friends or a date night. Its a really cool experience and everyone is so nice! Even if you don't know how to throw axes everyone is super helpful so its easy to learn. There are also multiple sized axes as well as boards so you can pick and choose. read more

Fun place! Had a great time at this Yelp event. Everyone was super friendly and my coach, Jake & Izi, were knowledgeable and great teachers. I haven't really thrown axes before, except one time, and felt not so confident. But they taught us how to throw and we all had a good time giving it a go. Definitely will return and y'all should check it out! read more

Great experience for first-timers. We walked in around 1 or 2 on Saturday and were told we could join another group of two for social throwing. I assumed we would have to take turns, all in one lane. Nope, four lanes, so all we shared was the awesome instructor, Camden. He was super laid-back and a very good teacher. I forget the name of the person who checked us in and backed up for Camden but she was really nice as well. Highly recommend. Will be going back! read more

Pulling up to this place I didn't know what to expect. It looks kind of "old" outside but as soon as you enter it's another story. This place is about having fun. When I arrived there were probably 30 people in front of me but check-in went super quick. Before I knew it I was throwing axes at a target. Our "coach" gave us really good instructions and was very patient and fun. After a quick warm up I got the hang of it and started hitting every shot. Mix in a bit of wine and some pizza (BYOB) and it really does make for a great date night or team event. I have gone to a few other axe throwing places across the country (Cali, Philly, New York) however this was really one of the best times I have had throwing axes. In fact I am thinking about holding a team event there. Take your spouse, a friend or do a team event and I am sure you won't be disappointed l. Bonus is you actually get a bit of a workout while having all of that fun :) read more

Well I did not expect to enjoy axe throwing as much as I did! Honestly, I walked into this VERY nervous, I was having palpitations even before attempting the first round, and wanted to take a break early on due to anxiety. But, I owe it to the fantastic instructors to really make you feel comfortable and provide the necessary advice to improve your performance. Their utmost priority is your safety, which was extremely reassuring! We eventually got the hang of it, and we're having loads of fun in no time. We were taught the safety basics first, then different throws (didn't realize how creative you could get), and played some one-on-one games. Such a fun experience! read more

My family and I had an amazing time throwing axes on Fathers Day. I really didn't expect it to be fun for me, it was something for my husband and son to enjoy together but it was surprisingly great. My son and husband had done it before, but they said the other place was set up more like a video game with interactive screens and such. This was very different--our coach took the time to work with us until we could actually throw an ax properly, observing us and correcting our form with each throw. At this place they take ax throwing seriously as a sport and know their stuff and it really shows. I would highly recommend it for anyone, not just manly men. Lol! You will be able to do it by the end and it will be fun. read more

It's an ok indoor activity for Texas' heat. However, you are paying to wait around a lot. The second time we went with just 2 people and they stuck us in with others we don't know. Wouldn't recommend that route, but I'm not an extrovert. It seems too expensive if most of the time you're just standing there watching others throw/talk/try to learn. read more

Great staff good communication with everyone. Learned new stuff about thrown axes. It was a perfect date night for myself and wife

Yo, this place is legit an amazing joint for work gatherings. The communication that lead up to my company event was superb. I fly all over the country to help with logistics for my company's events and when an establishment makes my job easier that's a A+ in my book. The staff is also super cool. CLUTCHHHHH!!! read more

First time going to an axe throwing place. We were greeted immediately and safety rules were explained. There were three people in our group and shoutout to Cali, who was our coach. She is extremely friendly and knowledgeable and her coaching tips were excellent. She told me, "We know you can hit a bullseye, but what about the small rectangle?" Hit it twice just to be sure it wasn't a lucky shot. I haven't thrown axes in over 45 years. I will definitely be going back! read more

BABS here!!! I am a little biased because I AM a coach at Urban Axes. I love working there more than any other job I've had. The people I work with are amazing people. But the customers and league members are AH-mazing! I love how many different walks of life we get to experience daily just by working there. People from all over, different countries, all nationalities, from all over the world, have come here and we get to give them an experience they will hopefully never forget. But THAT'S NOT WHY IM HERE!!!! I'm here to shout out the 100 or so Yelp reviewers we had tonight at UA. Y'all were some of the most fun bunch of people I've ever gotten the joy of coaching. Tonight was such much a blast and it was so awesome to get to be one of the coaches that got to open this world up to you! I cheered so much tonight after giving yall my safety speech, I think I'm not going to have a voice in the morning! I look forward to seeing many of your faces again, hopefully in the near future, on date night, in groups or even in league! Thank YOU all for the fun! Peace and love! read more

Came here for a team building event and we had a great time! It was so much fun to hang out and throw out some axes at a board. Great time, well organized and our coach was Jacob he was awesome at giving out tips and helping us out. It was BYOB keep that in mind as well. Great team building activity or even for a date! read more

Awesome Sunday Fun Day! First, Leo is AMAZING!!!! He took his time with me and a friend explaining what to do and what not to do. He gave us great advice on how to handle the ax, position it, and release it. He also helped with aim. By the way, this was my first ax throwing experience and I got a bullseye. Luck? I doubt it. It was our great instructor. Hope to be back soon with more people. read more

Bowling? Skeeball? Minigolf? NO! The modern fun group activity is in Axes. Don't be hesitant about it, just go out and try it. The more you do it, the better you get at it. At first it was a little frustrating because I could not get the axe to stick. But after a few tries, like learning to throw a baseball for the first time, you gain muscle memory and you'll be sticking the axe in no time. It works like this: - Walk-in's welcome; Reservations required for larger parties - $20/person/hour (+tax) - Sign the e-waiver on the ipads next to the entrance - Each area has an Axpert for rules and coaching - BYOB! (I highly recommend); no liquor allowed My only regret is that our time spent was over so quickly. I think part of it is that we were a walk-in (as opposed to reserving), and we had no choice but to share the lanes with another party, meaning less axing. For this regrettably docked one star. read more

This one is going to be short and sweet! Just like my Valentine! I wanted to do something fun with Robynn G this weekend and since the pandemic hit we have been uber cautious! Well, we didn't kill each other these past 10 months. In fact, we grew closer together. Silver lining in a dark cloud. Boom. I made the reservation for Valentine's Day weekend. We filled out the waiver online and were good to go once we arrived. The lovely ladies at the front gave us complimentary champagne to set the mood. It's been a minute so, Robynn and I needed to get back in the swing of things. Literally! Haha! A-A-Ron was our couch. He ended up spending more time with the other couple he was supervising. Why? Because we have our own axes and got back into the swing of things fairly quickly. Bull's-eyes after Bull's-eyes we did our little lovebird photoshoot and action videos. Good times! It was nice to feel somewhat normal again. They enforced social distancing, masks, and tons of safety protocols. Just what we were looking for! We couldn't stop smiling underneath our masked faces. 10/10 would recommend Urban Axes for a little fun time in your life during these more than interesting times we are all wading through like an eighties character through quicksand. read more

So much fun! Our instructor taught us well while keeping things fun and entertaining. Can't wait to go back.

This was our first time here and we did it with friends! It was actually really fun! We had an instructor that gave us the rules and breakdown of what we should and shouldn't do. There was 4 of us and we all got to do some practice rounds! Then we did a tournament ! I'm super competitive however i finished last lol It was still fun! It's also BYOB! 1 1/2 hours was perfect time! We definitely will be back ! Make sure to tip your instructor ! read more

This was SO MUCH FUN! If you're looking to do something different, feel like you're being somewhat active, and don't want to go outside in the 100 degree weather right now, go hang out at Urban Axes. I really didn't know what to expect and made the mistake of wearing flip flops which I immediately realized was dumb when I walked in. Unlike a gun range where you're aiming through a stall there is no half wall between you and the target. This makes sense because axe throwing technique involves your whole body. Luckily they have some loner shoes so I was able to participate without any worries for my toes. You do not need any prior knowledge of axe throwing before coming here. Your group is provided with an axe throwing coach who will make sure you are safe and give you pointers so you can throw like a pro. For $20 you get to throw for an hour. You share a lane with another person which works out because you get a chance to take break and have drinks if you bring some. They even have refrigerators by the lanes so you can keep your drinks cold! I'm very glad Urban Axes is close by and can't wait to go back. I'm thinking this will be a great after work activity instead of the typical happy hour. Everyone can blow off some steam while they have a beer! read more

Couldn't be more happy with the amazing customer service and just an overall great time. Hosted our work Christmas party here for the second year in a row. It's a prefect spot for a work get together. The coaches are helpful and great at making sure people have fun but are also safe. The BYOB feature and large fridge onsite is a lifesaver for anyone on a budget. So nice to not have to lug around a big cooler and ice. The catering options are top tier and VIA 313 came through big time and had everyone more than stuffed. 5 out of 5 read more
