Ambiance
Pros:
"One second you're walking down Market Street and the next you're in a rustic mountain lodge."
"The ambiance was so chill."
"The Harry Potter theme and ambiance was awesome."
"Great venue with an amazing mountain lodge atmosphere."
"The decor is so cute (and has Instagram worthy & punny lights to take pictures of/with)."
"The vibe is so fun, the decor is spot-on."
"Fantastic decor and a hip feel."
Cons:
"The lighting is very dim."
"The place doesn’t give a feel like an axe throwing one. It’s a bar which has been converted to axe throwing arena."
"The main reason I am knocking off a star is that they need to redo some of their boards. It’s not exciting/fair when you throw the axe and it slips out because there are huge cracks in the wood."
Service
Pros:
"The staff was nice and personable."
"We have become friends with one of the managers Britt because she always makes sure we have a great time."
"Our time in Kick Axe was great! We had an amazing guide who made the experience just a lot more enjoyable and was very enthusiastic."
"Our instructor was so attentive and made the game so easy to understand."
"The staff was extremely friendly and patient teaching everyone how to correctly throw the axes."
"The staff are all welcoming. My sister and I had a good time here our host/bartender CK was amazing from the conversation to the drinks and food he was on point with everything."
"The entire staff was incredibly kind and helpful, particularly Yassir, our instructor."
Cons:
"Later on my cousin and husband happens to hear him talking bad about us to other customers. Very unprofessional and poor customer service."
"They were very up-tight compared to bury the hatchet."
"The manager need some therapy he seem stressed and don’t know how to deal with people."
"We asked a waiter if she could help with our issue, she referred us to a guy at the bar that would be able to help us. He proceeds to NOT listen to our concern or the problem that we were having with our order on our phones when trying to close out our tabs."
"The associate, Matthew, was snarky and unprofessional."
"The woman at the front desk reluctantly served us drinks and acted like we were inconveniencing her, and there were only a few guests in the whole establishment."
"The staff was completely rude to our group for no reason."
Food & Drinks
Pros:
"To eat we had the buffalo wings and Philly sliders - soooooo freaking good!!!!! 😋"
"The beef empanadas were delicious."
"The food was really good and so were the drinks!"
"The food was good. Flatbread, sliders, pretzels, wings, churros with chocolate dip, and their cookies."
"The drinks were tasty (bartender was knowledgeable and friendly), the food was ok (but good for snacking, since you're not really there for the food)."
"Far and away the best gluten free pizza I've had in my life."
"The food was incredible! I had the Jalapeño Margarita it was delicious too!"
Cons:
"The drinks and food were not good. They should have made BYOB."
"The food wasn’t really good. I would tell them to stick to beer and wings."
"There was nothing available to us on the menu because it was sold out to another person."
"The drinks were definitely overpriced."
"The Kitchen and bar was closed even though our group made a reservation."
"The kitchen was closed, and the bar was not staffed. Website advertises food & bar are 100% open."
"Only downside was the bar being very minimal with pretty low quality options."
Value
Pros:
"Everything was so great i really thought that itd be dangerous but totally safe fun and worth every penny."
"Food was delicious 😋The pricing was great for the food package that we got and our family had a ball!"
"The food, perfect. Delicious and affordable."
Cons:
"Will not return. Good luck with that 10g a month rent."
"It is also extremely expensive. $26 for a half hour when Bury the Hatchet costs $40 for 2 hours and offers better service."
"Don’t waste your money on this place."
"I downgraded this review as Kick Axe is more expensive for a shorter time than other local options."
Experience
Pros:
"We went for part of my bachelorette weekend and had so much fun."
"Super fun and cool place. Celebrated a friend's birthday. So much fun to play. Plenty of room, and a great time for all 9 of us."
"Very fun experience."
"Went here on a date, had a stellar time. The drinks were good, the service was remarkable."
"Thoroughly fun night. Get lumberjack on it? Discover the Viking roots you never had?"
"The overall atmosphere is comforting and ties well with the experience."
"This was my first axe throwing experience, and this place was awesome."
Cons:
"When its busy it’s a tad hard to move around."
"With all of this said we were totally upset by the act of disrespect and it seems like racism towards us at this establishment."
"Not sure what happened between 2022 and now, but they’ve just gotten worse. Don't waste your hard-earned money here."
"The line for the bar was a little unorganized and with only two bartenders it took quite some time to order a drink."
"Food and drinks are temporarily restricted due to Covid but there are bars nearby one could attend before going."
"I’m hoping this is fixed now but the lights were out in two of the stalls in the women’s bathroom when I went. Not fun lol."
"They put us on at 15 minutes after our reservation and then told us 15 minutes early that 'we didn’t have to leave but the next group is coming in'."
