Not sure how I've not reviewed Urban, but it is a fantastic spot to host a variety of parties and team building. We started throwing in leagues here at end of 2022 and have been enjoying it since. There's bowling football (kinda), darts, and occasionally corn hole. In the summer, there's food trucks and a restaurant has opened at the end of the parking lot. The drink variety is pretty great with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages along with snacks. You get coaching when you go in for a group to help you learn how to throw and get to play a variety of games. If you have enough time, you can try throwing the big axe. What I like most about Urban is that the employees are super welcoming and the axe community is too if you decide to join a league. You can learn to tweak your throw from a variety of different people and hone in on your technique. You don't feel bad when you're first not great at throwing since so many people want to help. There are various groups that host fundraising events and charities that collaborate like BARCS and Baltimore Humane Society. Give Urban a try! read more

Ive come here before and returned. The staff are the wheels that keeps business rolling. The adult beverages are but are in a can. While waiting we started playing a large scaled tretris; which was really cool There are other games to play while you wait for you turn. The atmosphere was great and it was not crowded I like thie establish. read more

Urban Axes the ideal date night activity. Dinner and a movie... yawn . Throwing axes... fun, fun, fun . Reservations are recommended, but not required. Sessions typically begin at the top of the hour. After checking in and signing the waiver, we grabbed a couple drinks from the bar and played a few board games while we waited. The bar offers an array of beers, wines, and canned cocktails. When it was time to throw axes, an instructor came over, introduced himself, and escorted us to the throwing lanes. After a brief safety tutorial and demonstration, it was time to really have some fun. Sessions are an hour long. You're given the of three scoring games... or you can freestyle. Definitely add UA to your list! read more

So. Much. Fun!!! I had tried axe throwing once before and was not very successful but my experience at Urban Axes has redeemed the entire experience. I went around 2pm on a Sunday for an hour. Upon arriving, we had sign waivers and wait for a bit before an instructor was ready for us. I was SO grateful for Connor, our instructor, and his helpful tips. He was also just positive and a great addition to the experience. I thought my friend and I would have boards to ourselves but we ended up sharing with another couple which actually made it more fun to have someone else keep score and to cheer on together. I will definitely be back!! read more

My group had a GREAT time at urban axes. We booked the "one hour social throwing" for three people. We showed up early to check in, grab a drink, and our instructor grabbed us to begin right on time. It was awesome having an instructor to help guide us on how to throw better, which is something I haven't experienced at other axe-throwing places. This definitely made the experience more fun, and worth the price. All the employees were so nice and I really couldn't recommend this place enough. read more

When you have a bad day, or rain destroys your outdoor plans Urban Axes is the place to turn that frown upside down. Fill out a waver online and book your throwing lane or you can walk-in. (I highly recommend booking your lane online) While you wait for your throwing lane, head over to the bar, grab a drink and prepare yourself for good time. Before you're allowed to throw, an instructor will go over the safety rules and teach you the basics on axe throwing. I learned the two handed throw, one handed throw and an underhand trick shot. After the group has some time to practice, the real games begin! You'll take turns throwing at the target: Black: 5 points Blue: 3 points Red: 1 point Green: 7 points At first, your goal is to hit the board without the axe falling off. It's harder then it looks, but once you get it, that feeling of hitting the target is a thrill! The instructor has all kinds of games for your group play and they keep track of your score so you can just focus on your technique. The hour flew by and if you want more action ask the front desk about extending your time or joining a league. Joining a league has perks: You can show up an hour early to practice before your game. Plus, you can drop in and play whenever you want for $15 per game. This a great place for birthdays, or work events. The venue has plenty of parking, and if you're hungry there's a restaurant next door. One thing I know for sure: I'll be back! read more

Professional axe thrower, y'all watch out. JK. I only hit the target like twice. One of which was on my very first try. Friendly staff and large area to accommodate a lot of people.

Went here to celebrate my brother's birthday. We had an AXEcellent time. Ok, now that I got the corny axe joke out of the way... let's begin. Our instructor, Craig, was the truth! He went over everything in detail and even gave tips throughout to help us hit the bullseye. And by "us", I mean "me". read more

Went for date night and had a great time! It was a little smaller than I expected but hey, it was just us two! Loved everyone's positive and uplifting attitude especially because this was our first time. Definitely wear comfortable shoes! The bar was kinda small but they have a few items to choose from. We both ended up getting canned cocktails which ended up doing the trick so don't sleep on the can drinks. We missed the fire pit but would love to check it out next time read more

My husband and I went to Urban Axes tonight for the first time. I knew they were there for quite some time but finally made it in. I am so glad we did. The booking process and waiver signing was super easy online. Upon arrival, check in was quick and the front desk employee advised us who our coach would be and when he would be out to get us. Our coach, Taylor, was awesome! He made the experience super fun and educational. He have us tips on our form and got us playing several different games. I didn't realize it would be so organized but it actually made it way more fun and competitive. The place was clean and had all covid restrictions in place. The bathrooms were clean. Although we did not order drinks from the bar, the beer and wine selection looked good. I would definitely return to this location and highly recommend it for a date night or an activity to do with friends. read more

Great location with off-street parking. Playing Inside or outside is an option. Super cool folks working there, coaching/helping/bar. Just go and have fun. We were 3 couples and we all said we would do it again. Great bar/bartenders too. Super fun. read more

I visited for a second time and the experience was equally great! Alex was awesome and made the experience one to remember. I would definitely return! Craig was AMAZING!!! He was engaging and full of energy! He took his time to provide instruction, perfect your form, and show you ways to adjust! It was a great team outing and way to connect! I loved the beer and wine option and how we practiced for a competition. This is a great date night, staff outing, or competitive activity. I highly recommend!!! I would definitely return! read more

Drinks? Check. Sharp, dangerous flying objects? Check. A great time? Check. Honestly, what can I say that hasn't been said? Throwing axes is a remarkably good time. Each time I've been, we've had a great instructor who took the time to show us a variety of throwing techniques and compensatory strategies. The latest was Archer (yeah, like the show) who even let us toss the giant fireman's axe. That was a first for me. Anyway, grab some friends or a date and head here. You won't regret it. Unless maybe you drop the axe on your toe after one too many drinks I guess. read more

Oh this was so much fun! Decided to my partner here for his birthday. I made an online reservation at 9-10pm for 2. 6 people per station is allowed. If you come with less than 6 then they will add additional people to your station if there are any. There was only one other couple there with us which meant more game time. Our coach was Archer. He was awesome, very nice and gave us lots of tips and pointers. He made the experience all the more fun. They have a bar with beer, wine, and canned cocktails. They allow for you to BYO food, which we didn't do but it's a nice option. CLUTCHHHHH read more

I had a great time at Urban Axes celebrating a friend's birthday. The reservation and check-in process was extremely simplistic. The decor was fitting and the bar was very unique to include speciality beers. All of the staff persons were friendly, welcoming, and patient. The only con is parking. The venue shares a parking lot with a restaurant and some other places, thus, parking is limited and tight. This place is extremely therapeutic and highly recommend. read more

Where should I start? I love you guys? Maybe that's too forward? I was thrilled to come here for a team bonding event. The guys we worked with were hilarious. Please charge it to my heart and not my heart for forgetting y'all's names! From start to finish the team was clear in how to stay safe, make good throws, and have fun. I think the involvement of alcohol either makes your throws better or worse. That's it! The only accidents they ever have? You guessed it, splinters. I'm so excited to come back with a group of my friends! GAME ON! read more

I was looking for something to do over the weekend. Decided to try something new and I was not disappointed. Our teacher, Craig, was really cool and personable. This place does a good job at making sure the customers stay safe due to COVID. They also do a good job at keeping you safe and out of harms way since well, you're throwing axes. Craig made sure to help us with our form to make us better throwers and keep us from losing any fingers. I definitely recommend this. It's a fun thing to do with someone or a couple friends! read more

Urban Axes was the perfect Father's Day activity. You can bring your own food. They do serve spirits. My group of 7 booked the outside arena in advance. The coach was awesome and worked on our throws the whole time. The outside arena has seating and a high top table. There's also a fire pit. $40 a person for two hours. I will be back. Thanks for a great activity! read more

My husband's work scheduled a two hour friendly-competition throwing session as a team building activity, in which all the co-workers/spouses would be paired against each other in creative brackets, organized and managed by the staff of Urban Axes- Unsure about the booking process, or prices, but the waiver & training process was super easy-the waiver is managed online, signed before arriving to make getting started go faster-then upon arrival the 'throwing coaches' gave a quick run down of the rules, and we were ready to go! During the throwing experience, the coaches stay in the throwing areas, helping keep score, and give educational throwing tips to help our form as we threw-helping us get better as we went along. Compared to other throwing axes venues we've been to in Columbia, I think there are some aspects lacking, which put them sort of on the bottom of my 'let's go again list'- such as: - While they do offer a decent selection of MD craft beer variety, cocktails, and wine- everything is canned (so my initial thought 'that's a reasonable craft beer draft' turned to 'for a can?!' reaction)- I prefer the other venue selections of craft drafts and the ability to even pour our own from a tap wall - I did really enjoy the staff hanging out in the throwing area- spending the day with Taylor and CJ was a fantastic experience-the coaching, the jokes, it was a great ambiance to hang out...so sad there was no bulls eye bell- ring a ding ding?! I guess Baltimorians are more pro-skill, a bell would be too much, but I love the bell. - I felt the boards were a bit inconsistent-lane to lane was completely different throwing experiences-we've been other places where they change out boards more frequently, maybe this could have been done, not sure, but the quality of the lanes felt like a step down from some places we've been Overall, staff would get 5 stars;but compared to other axe throwing venues the overall vibe was a notch down to our Columbia, MD experiences. But a nice edition to the area of Baltimore. I know friends who are in and LOVE their league play- a nice edition to the community. read more

We were visiting our daughter and she wanted to go with us and her friends axe throwing so took us here. We had never done it before but our couch Conner did a great job teaching us some skills.

Great time, we came here for a work happy hour and had a blast! This was a fun place to hang out and socialize, while letting out some aggression, lol! This is a great spot for a small to large group of people to hang out. The coaches explain how to properly throw an axe and how to be safe while having fun, everyone who works here was super professional and friendly. They have a nice selection alcohol and you can also bring your own food and have catering options for anyone who plans ahead. Highly recommend! Parking - they have a large lot with plenty of free parking. read more

Urban Axes was such an awesome experience! I have to give a shout-out to our amazing instructor Archer! He was so pleasant and fun to work with and ensured we not only learned the proper ace throwing techniques but had a fun time doing so. The space is very open and decorative. It has a fire pit outside in the front (nice), a bar located right next to the check-in area that serves a variety of wine, beers and canned cocktails; all of which are reasonably priced. They also have high top tables and plenty of seating while you wait for a lane to open and bathrooms located in the back. I definitely enjoyed my experience and think I may come back soon to continue improving my skills. This is great for large or small groups, just an all around good time! read more

Awesome venue and great management, coaches, and leadership running the place. Bar has plenty of beer and wine options and A LOT of space for big parties or groups. The actual experience of axe throwing was really fun. Would recommend calling ahead or going online to book AT LEAST 2 hours, since 1 isn't long enough I'm my opinion, would def come back read more

If you're reading this because you're wondering weather or not to try this, DO IT. I went for the first time as an impromptu outing for my birthday. It doesn't matter how strong you are you can do this. Our instructor was Phil and he took his time telling us how to throw but then also giving us notes on how to improve after throws. Rule #1 is listen to your instructor. Don't over think it and have fun. Be sure to wear cool loose fitting clothes because you may work up a sweat. I'd suggest wearing short sleeves too. I kept rolling up my sleeves. When you aren't throwing there's a bar near the front and they also sell merch at the front desk. The waiver is a little intimidating but they are allowing you to throw weapons. Everyone is required to be 21 that attends and they do check your ID before going in. I'll be adding this to fun outings/date nights. read more

Had a great time throwing axes with Adam! He was professional and a lot of fun. Will certainly come back and highly recommend Urban Axes.

We had such a great time here! Our coach was super helpful and made it so fun and low pressure but competitive at the same time. We threw in the outdoor space which was so cute and perfect for our group. We didn't realize there was a bar in there but they have an awesome bar with a ton of great options. We stayed for about an hour after our session just hanging out there. We can't wait to come back! read more

I had a pretty fun time. I do wish I had more freedom to throw with less restrictions, but I understand for safety. This is definitely a place that is strictly axe throwing, and less of a social thing like some DC locations I've been too. Still arguably the best axe throwing spot in baltimore! read more

So much fun!! Our instructor Connor did a fantastic job teaching my boyfriend and I. We had so much fun competing against each other. Will definitely be back! read more

We visited on a Sunday which seemed somewhat quiet, but we had a fantastic time! Becs was our coach & she was absolutely amazing at teaching/guiding/adjusting our techniques to get us hitting the target! She really made it a fun first axe-throwing experience for us, and we will definitely be back again! The facility was brightly lit, comfortable & spacious. The bar had a great selection of beers, wines, and sodas, as well as a mead. I love that in the spirit of community, they had beers available from their next door neighbor, Monument Brewing. Again - super fun experience & don't forget to ask for Becs! read more

Came here to celebrate a birthday 2.23.19, and I cannot say enough positive things! First of all, they are extremely organized. Second of all, they have a bar (although no hard liquor FYI, just mixed drinks in a can, beer, soda, and wine). And lastly, our trainer, Ray, was THE BEST! He was so funny, he explained everything really well, he actually talked to our group and was very personable, and he just made the experience even better. I'm so glad that urban axes made my friend's party so memorable, and I can't wait to come back! read more
