Amazing place. Best kept secret. The gym is awesome. This place needs better advertising it’s hidden gem
We did an escape room and the ax throwing and our guides did an spectacular job! Even though it was clear they were a little short handed they didn't miss a beat! They did a wonderful job walking us through everything, being available when we needed them, were super knowledgeable, were fun to talk to and were able to made it all look so easy. It completely exceeded our expectations and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for this kind of an experience to check this place out! Special shout out to Wayne for putting up with our shenanigans and making the whole experience AMAZING!

I booked a private lane for my moms birthday and had a blast! Wayne was incredible and helped all of us so that we could have a successful axe throwing experience. Not only was he a great teacher, he was a fabulous bartender and was very attentive while also multi tasking to get his other tasks done. Great selection of drinks, clean environment and professional. Very impressed and will be back again!
Came here in a large group and boy did we have a blast! I was concerned at first with the amount of people combined with time mixed with money ratio but everything worked out great. Definitely feel like I got my money's worth of throwing axes around that's for sure. Instructors were great, informative and fun. We did not eat but the food looked great. I would strongly recommend this place to go out and have a fun night.
Great food and unique interior. Plenty of good seating to watch axe throwing if that's your thing. 2 pool tables upstairs with a nice lounge area. Food was great as was the service. It really doesn't look like much from the outside (looks like warehouse). So I was surprised how huge the interior was. Plenty of beer on tap (including Iowa craft beer) and big screen TVs.
