At the Durham location of the small chain that helped popularize axe throwing as a social and team-building activity as well as a competitive sport, book a throwing session for a group or stop by during daily walk-in hours. Enjoy a beer, wine or cider at the bar (no hard liquor on account of, you know, the axes being thrown). Kids 12 and up who are accompanied by an adult are welcome to join except on Fridays and Saturdays after 5 p.m. Closed-toe shoes are required.

Plenty of parking across the street, but it is pay by the hour with a website service. Everything was clean and well maintained and easy access to the main building. The owner and staff are super excited for everyone and it was a blast learning how to throw the axes. Shout out to our coaches, Z and Bradley, so much fun hanging out with them. This was a great experience and I would return, and I highly recommend checking them out. Also they sell alcoholic drinks as well as wine.

Went to a private group setting and the service was amazing!! It was my first time throwing axes and the Instructor, Brad, was very informative and fun and made it a great first experience! Will definitely come back!

We went with our work group to Urban Axes and had an absolutely amazing time! Bradley was a fantastic coach—he walked us through how to throw safely and effectively, gave us plenty of time to warm up and practice, and then organized brackets and kept score so the whole experience felt like a real competition.
What really stood out was the level of engagement. At other places we’ve been, you get a quick 5‑minute coaching session and then you’re left on your own. Here, Bradley stayed involved the entire time, which made it so much more fun and interactive. The combination of great coaching, friendly competition, and a lively atmosphere made this outing a success. Highly recommend!

Really cool spots for a few hours of fun. They serve a great selection of local beers and liquid death water. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming and they follow all the required safety guidelines. Definitely worth a visit!

Visiting from out of town and was seeking local fun. Meh experience. Was underwhelmed by the drink experience, didn’t mind the long wait until we were cheated out of our time and really for no reason. The facility needs a better time keeping process unless you intentionally cutting time short. Good atmosphere, with average customer service not sure if it’s worth the price. Will maybe try this kinda thing back home for a better experience. $27.50 plus tip for basically 45 minutes throwing and 30 minute wait upset me.
