KICK AXE THROWING BROOKLYN FAQ

Are you a bar where we can just come & have drinks?

 

Yes! Get your axe in here and have a drink, some food and chill on our patio or in our lodge-like bar lounge. We have fun games, like Jenga, Connect 4 and throwback board games to help you chill-axe (see what we did there?). 

 

 

How much does this kick axe activity cost & do I have to pay up front?

​

The cost is $34 (+ taxes & fees) per person for the 75 minute range reservation. You pay when you make the reservation online. Normal reservations are fully refundable up until 24 hours before. Book HERE! 

​

​

Walk ins - How do they work?

 

When we do have walk-in space, the range times only start at fixed times, so you probably won't be able to walk in and start throwing - you'll have to wait until the next available start time. Kind of like walking into the movies. :)

 

For current start times, click HERE and select the date you want to walk in.

If it shows spaces are available, your best bet is to just reserve the spots! Remember, you have the ability to cancel your reservation up to 24 hours in advance and receive a full refund!

 

 

Do I need a large group to throw?

 

Nope! Any groups that aren't large enough to fill a full lane (8 guests) may be paired with other lumberjacks looking to throw - we think of it as a fun way to make new friends.

 

If you would like a Private Range to yourselves, simply reserve 8-10 tickets. 

​

Have between 11 and 20 people? 

You will be split on two lanes with 10 people in one and the remaining people sharing an adjacent range with other guests. To have two ranges to yourselves, you must book 16 spots! You will then be able to bring up to 20 and pay for the extras onsite.

 

 

Can we just get a range to ourselves?

 

YES! Simply reserve 8-10 tickets for a Private Range. 

 

 

We are all booking separately so we can pay for ourselves. Will we get to throw together?

 

Let us know if you are booking with other parties by emailing us at bkguests@kickaxe.com. We will do our best, but the only foolproof way is to create one booking under one name. Having them Venmo or Zelle you is better than potentially being separated.

​

 

What ages can throw at Kick Axe?

 

Ages 8 and up as long as they have the strength and coordination to effectively throw a hatchet as judged by our Axe Pros. All children must be under the immediate control of an adult! Officially, there must be 1 adult per 3 kids aged 8 - 14; kids 15 - 17 just need one adult per range. Ages 7 & under are not allowed on site. Sorry!

 

We have implemented a cool solution for kids who just aren't sticking the axe - they throw one of our foam axes and score wherever they hit the target! This way they can compete with the adults. Yay!

 

 

What is your Lateness Policy?

 

PLEASE ARRIVE 15-20 MINUTES BEFORE YOUR START TIME!  
 

If you are 10+ minutes late, you will be asked to move to the next available time slot – if any are available! OR you will receive a credit to visit another time. If you arrive after your start time and do not have the range to yourselves, you may not be allowed to join the range. Why? Our axe instructors use the beginning of each throwing session to instruct all throwers on our safety guidelines and instructions.

 

We cannot stop gameplay for the guests who arrived on time to go through the safety protocol again with you/your group (and then you'll be mad at us and start crying, and then we'll start crying, and it'll be messy AF. So please just come early!) 

 

If you happen to be running late, please reach out to us at bkguests@kickaxe.com or call us at (833) 542-5293.

​

 

Does Kick Axe sell beer/wine/seltzers/bubbly & food?

 

We cannot have hangry, thirsty, axe chuckers, so we sell beer/wine/malt/sparkling beverages (like White Claw), soda/water/tea and really delicious food! We even offer a special champagne Bottle Service if you want to celebrate anything! ID required for the alcohol. Check them all out HERE!

 

 

Do you offer catering?

 

We do! We have an axe-cellent menu that can be served family style or buffet style for special events. If you're interested in hosting an event with us, check out our packages HERE!

 

 

Birthday Parties, Team Building, Bachelor(ette) Parties... are they hard to arrange?

​

We make it easy! If you don’t want food or just want to bring in store-bought cupcakes, just make a regular booking for an ENTIRE range (8 -10 tickets).

 

Note – you need a private range to bring in cake or cupcakes so you need to book a minimum of 8 tickets. 

 

If you do plan on having food packages other than just store-bought cupcakes, you must book through our Special Events department! This way, we can guarantee that the ranges assigned to your group have space for food. Check out our Special Events Packages or contact us HERE to learn more!

 

Our Special Events department can also help you book for groups larger than 10 to ensure ranges are next to each other and start at the same time, or if you want a longer session. For weekend events, try to contact us as far in advance as possible!  

 

 

Can I book an event outside of your normal hours?

 

Absolutely! Just contact us HERE. More information can be found on our Special Events page HERE.

 

 

What is your refund policy?

 

Oh, no you don't! You can't chicken out! Just kidding. You will get a FULL REFUND if you cancel up to 24 Hours in advance of your time for regular bookings. Sorry but within 24 hours there are no refunds. :'(

 

If you book a Special Event, there are custom cancellation policies located in your personalized contract.

 

 

Can I change or cancel my booking online?

 

Yes! Up until 24 hours before your reservation, just go to your confirmation email and click the blue Modify Reservation button or White Cancel Reservation button (only available up until 24 hours prior to your reservation). You will be able to change the date & time (if available) or cancel. Sorry, there are no refunds within 24 hours of your start time.

 

​

Will we be taught how to throw?

 

Each range has an Axe Pro that not only teaches the rules, but coaches you on how to throw and gets you started on some games. 

 

 

What should I wear? Do I have to wear a plaid shirt?

 

We have only two requirements:

 

     *Closed-toe shoes (no high heels even if they are closed-toe)

 

     *A shirt which gives you full range of motion.

​

 

Are you handicapped accessible? Can I throw if I am in a wheelchair?

 

10-4 on both of those!

​

Is your venue eco-friendy?

 

Yes, we are! We use StrawFish®'s biodegradable cups and straws for sustainable sips! 

 

​

Can I bring my own axe?

 

Unfortunately, our insurance guy says no. 

​

 

Do Axe Pros accept tips?

 

Tipping is never required but always appreciated! Our Axe Pros will do their best to make your experience fun and exciting. It is nice to show them some love! If you don't have cash, our Axe Pros take Venmo (an awesome cash app) and/or have a Square reader for credit cards.
