LumberjAxes Axe Throwing - Millvale

Came with some friends on a quiet Sunday night. Place was deserted, probably because of the Steelers game and my crew got checked in quickly and signed our waivers. The staff gave us some brief instructions and then cut us loose. Some of the people in our group had done this before and were off and running. I did not have the same experience. I landed exactly 1 ax on the board in my first 50 throws spanning an hour... It would have been nice if the staff dropped by to offer some tips rather than watching videos on their laptop and ignoring us. Also our one target was clearly destroyed in the center and very few throws by the good throwers in our group would stick there.

We had an ice curling lane for 75 minutes and loved it! The staff were amazing. They explained everything extremely well and had a lot of enthusiasm egging us all on during our games. It was a great afternoon!

If this was solely a review on Aaron, our instructor, it would be a five. But the kid behind the bar/register was on his phone the whole time and was really hard to get his attention. He also asked for my ID in the beginning and didn't hand it back to me, just left it on the bar top out of my reach. I asked if he still needed it and he said no. I had to reach across the counter to get it. Like ok? Also, we were here on a Friday night and it was DEAD. Only people were at the bar for expensive drinks. Seemed weird. Nice because it wasn't packed with humans but just weird that the 11 of us were the only ones playing. I would come back. Just a weird vibe.

My friends and I had a blast at Lumberjaxes! It was my first time going axe throwing, and our coach Jacob was super nice & extremely helpful in teaching us how to do it. A group of 6-7 is the perfect size, because the two hour window fits a round robin, tournament, & freestyle throwing for that many people nearly exactly (we finished one minute before our time was up). The establishment has an agreement set up with Frank's pizza to deliver food, and they come pretty quickly right to your axe throwing lane. Lumberjaxes also has a bar that serves draft local beer, and the cocktails are good as well. I will definitely be back!Food: B-Drinks: BService: AAmbiance: A

TL;DR: this place is awesome, especially for beginners. Don't be a jerk and don't get sloppy drunk, obviously! You're playing with axes! I've been here three times so far in the past two and a half years, and it's only been 3 because I don't live that close. But I continuously return to this place because for me, it's a tried and true classic. This review only pertains to the Millvale location, but I'm interested in the Cranberrg one as well. Having thrown axes once before at another axe throwing place in 2019, I met up with a friend in August of 2020 at this one. Don't remember much besides it being really fun, almost all the employees wore masks, and everyone kept socially distant. It still didn't keep the axe coach from teaching us some tips and tricks!Yet that wasn't as fun as the second time, when I came last fall with friends. Had a super dope coach whose name escapes me, and he helped us a ton with form, angle, and techniques. I feel bad that I didn't tip him, I made sure to do that the next time. Which was this past weekend. For my 30th, I booked a 6- to 12- person reservation for two hours, but come that time, five of the eight that were confirmed to come out dropped out within a couple hours of the actual event. I was pretty damn upset, to say the least. Nevertheless, Button was our coach, and she made sure to make our time fun, and get this. She bought one of the axes they sell, and gave it to me as a present for my birthday. I damn near cried. It was so nice of her to do! Me and the two friends who showed up had an awesome time, and frankly, I'm looking to join the throwing league.

It was my first time and the I had a great experience. The booked a two hour slot online. The check-in process was pretty seamless. We had a coach who guided us and also introduced us to few interesting games. It was fun and a good group activity. I wish they had food available. We had to order iron born pizza. But overall a good experience. I Recommend.

We did a team building event here on a Friday afternoon that was a total blast. They help you figure out how to throw the axes (one-handed or two-handed) and give you a few different lengths and weights of axes to choose from which is great. A few folks in our group were very good at it (our boss even hit the small green dot which awards 7 points which blew our minds) and then the rest of us were hit or miss, literally. They have a full bar and their Bloody Mary was a decent way to start. They also have beers on tap and bottled and you can order food delivery from Frank's Chicken right up the street. There is a small vending machine with chips and stuff too. The place is well organized and the coaches were very helpful and supportive. I would definitely go back.

I honestly wasn't sure what to expect going here. But my friend was in town and wanted to go, so I played along. It was a blast!Our instructor Neil went over the safety procedures and throwing techniques since I've never done it before, and we went to work. There are cages that separate the throwing lanes and a few protocols in place to ensure no one has an ax coming at them. It took a bit of practice before an ax hit the board, but by the end it got much easier, and even got a few bullseye's along the way.There's a bar on the premises and a few places that deliver food nearby. The only drawback is the parking situation, but we found street parking a few blocks away without an issue.I had so much fun with it that I'm considering joining a league.

We decided to try cosmic ax throwing for our xmas family party. had been here before and had great time but was regular ax throwing. Disappointing. Our guy checked us in and then spent the night behind the bar and counter. We basically ran our party ourselves. not sure is that is how it is done in cosmic ax throwing maybe?? the axes seemed different from previous years and we could have used some tips and helps to hit the board. not a lot of fun when you never get points. The staff seemed to be more interested in their phones all night. will probably look for different place next year.

Prices are misleading when booking. You pay per person. Building and area are sketchy. Bartender seemed bored and not interested. I won't return
