Axe Throwing FAQs

We have a bar that serves a collection of local craft brews, as well as staple items. We offer beers, ciders, seltzers, and a small selection of wine. You can order at our bar before your booking, or make an order with your coach while in bay.

With a wide variety of beer on offer, no need to bring your own. We do not allow any outside alcohol, whether from the Pit Stop Tavern in the building or BYOB.

Guests are expected to be safe and in control of themselves at all times. Half Axe reserves the right to refuse service and/or request a guest or group to leave, at any time, without refund if guests cannot cooperate or are belligerent.

For more info, please visit our Bar Information

We do not offer prepared food, but our bar has some pre-packaged items (chips, crackers, candy, etc.).

Due to limited space at the bays, we only allow outside small snack items .

If you would like to bring in catering, inquire about an Event.

We do not allow any outside beverages. For more info, please visit our Bar Information page.

Due to space limitations, catering is only allowed when hosting a Buy-Out Event with us.

Tourney Events or similar do not have enough space to bring in anything beyond small snack items.

If you are hosting a buy-out, we’re more than happy to provide a list of reliable caterers.

Nope, we welcome walk-ins!

However, lane availability operates on a first-come, first-served basis. To ensure you have lanes when you want them, we strongly recommend booking a reservation ahead of your visit, especially during peak hours.

The answer is typically the earlier, the better. Weekends typically fill up, so plan ahead by booking here.

A booking can be made a maximum of 2 weeks out, but can be booked even day of.

If you’re looking to book an event beyond 2 weeks, Contact Us.

Our bookings can accommodate 2 to 8 players per 1 bay (2 targets). We can also accommodate groups of 9 to 16 players on 2 bays (4 targets), but recommend booking ahead of time to guarantee adjacent bays.

If you have a group of more than 16 players, please inquire about an Event.

 

No! That’s the Half Axe difference!

We provide your group with their own targets every time, whether you book ahead or walk-in! We do not clump separate groups together. You pay for your time.

When a booking slot is unavailable, it is usually due to any of the following circumstances:

  1. The date picked is too far out to book (Throw bookings can be booked a max of 14 days out)
  2. We are closed on your desired day/time
  3. We are already fully booked for your desired day/time. If availability changes, slots will become available to book, even day of.

For groups larger than 8 players (9-16 players), we recommend booking ahead online with our two bay (4 target) option.

For groups larger than 16, please contact us regarding an Event.

If you want to book more than the 1 hour for your group, Contact Us to ensure the lane availability.

When in your lanes, coaches ask if you would like to add more time in 20 minute increments based on availability.

We totally get it, axe throwing is FUN!

If there’s availability, your Coach will offer to add on more time to your booking in 20 minute increments for the standard group rate.

To cancel your booking, email info@halfaxe.com or call us (508-251-2815) with your booking ID #. We’re sorry to see you go!

Yes, axe throwing is a safe activity!

Axe throwing facilities have operated for over 15 years with no major incidents. We have operated safely since 2018 without any incidents or injuries.

Still, our number one priority is always safety. That’s why we have taken measures to make sure bounce backs do not happen, such as using non-elastic padding and wooden axe handles.

Coaches are also there teaching how to throw and go over safety before anything is thrown. Coaches are available to your group the entire time of your booking to ensure safety, while watching for any unsafe behavior.

The cost is a group rate of $49 per 20 minutes, up to 8 players on 2 targets (1 bay). You can book 1 hour slots online for a total price of $147.

For 9 or more players, we recommend booking 4 targets (2 bays) ahead of time to guarantee adjacent bays.
