GENERALIS IT SAFE?
Safety is our top priority. The National Axe Throwing Federation sets guidelines for axe throwing, pit dimensions, & safety parameters, which we follow carefully. Each throwing lane has a safety cage. Axe Masters give safety orientations and throwing tutorials to participants, and our trained staff oversees the lanes. And, if you’re not playing by the rules, we’ll boot ya.
HOW LONG DO I GET TO THROW?
Groups with reservations get 90 minutes of lane time, including a short orientation with your Axe Master. Walk-ins get 60 minutes including orientation.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Flannel, obviously. Costumes encouraged. But most importantly, CLOSED TOE SHOES. No flip flops or sandals. No exceptions.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
WILL I HAVE TO SIGN A WAIVER?
Yep. You sure will. In general, you are participating at your own risk. Be safe and follow our instructions, and you'll have a blast. You can read the waiver HERE.
WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?
All Bars & Recreation facilities, including AXE MKE, are cashless. We accept all major credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay. All point of sale terminals are equipped with touchless pay technology. Cash will not be accepted as a form of payment for services rendered or products sold.
CAN I JUST WATCH?
Yes, spectators are permitted at AXE MKE as long as the facility is not near capacity for guests who are participating in the activity.
DO YOU HAVE LEAGUES?
Yes we do! Axe throwing leagues take place at our Walker's Point venue, NorthSouth Club. Find more information and how to sign up for the latest season here.
DOES AXE MKE SERVE FOOD AND DRINKS?
SHOULD I TIP THE AXE MASTER?
We are a team-based facility. All tips are pooled and divided equitably in a valid tip pool arrangement. Your tip can go to anyone, and the team as a whole will be rewarded. You can also Venmo @BARTipJar for cashless tips. Thanks!
CAN I BRING MY OWN AXE? DRINKS? FOOD? DECORATIONS?
AXE—nope. DRINKS—nope. FOOD—only if you have booked a private event. DECORATIONS--sometimes. Please contact us to discuss.
CAN WE BRING A PICTURE OF SOMEONE TO PUT ON THE TARGET?
Hah! Yes. The only restrictions on a cutout/picture is: A) it needs to be a non-human character, like a zombie or Homer Simpson, or B) if it depicts a human, that human has to be present in our facility to give consent. So it can't be a politician or a celebrity, unless you bring them with you.
IS YOUR FACILITY HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE?
Yep! We are fully accessible. Guests with mobility issues may need assistance removing the axe from the target.
ARE KIDS ALLOWED?
AXE MKE is an adult environment. Everyone who enters must be at least 16 years old, and customers ages 16 & 17 must be accompanied by an adult.
WHERE SHOULD I PARK?
Check out the contact page for parking information.
WHAT ARE YOUR FACILITY'S POLICIES?
Why, thank you for asking. Our General Policies can be found HERE.
WHERE SHOULD I EAT BEFORE OR AFTER MY VISIT?
IS THERE ANY other PLACE AS COOL AS THIS?
Hard to believe, but yes. Check out our sister bars, Amped, NorthSouth Club, Nine Below and The New Fashioned. Talk about an epic night out!

RESERVED AXE THROWINGDo I need a reservation?
We strongly recommend reservations, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. Walk-ins will be accommodated if possible.
do we pay now, or when we arrive?
You will need to provide a credit card number to make a reservation and hold spots; however, the credit card is not charged. Payment will be made upon arrival. This way, your group members can pay for their own spots when they arrive. *Note: AXE MKE is a cashless facility.
what is the cancellation policy?
A valid credit card number is required to reserve spots on a lane. Reservations can be cancelled or reduced without penalty up to 24 hours prior to the start time calling 414.939.8592. Cancellations or reductions in group size made less than 24 hours prior to the start time will be charged the full per person cost for each unused spot. AXE MKE will charge the method of payment provided at the time of reservation for any unused spots not cancelled 24 hours prior to the start time, unless a different form of payment is provided.
What if we show up late?
You must participate in the Axe Master training before you can handle an axe. If your whole group is late, the Axe Master can do the orientation when you arrive, but you will lose more of your reserved lane time. If a member of your group misses the Axe Master training, he/she can purchase another one for $10 upon arrival.
PRIVATE EVENTShOW DO I BOOK A PRIVATE EVENT?
Check out the Private Events page to find the best package for your group. Then give our events team a call at 414.939.8592 to start planning.
CAN I RENT OUT THE WHOLE PLACE?
Only if you're a baller! See The Big Axe.
CAN YOU DO ANYTHING SPECIAL FOR MY BACHELOR/BACHELORETTE PARTY? BABY SHOWER? BIRTHDAY? FUNDRAISER?
Absolutely! We have a "Flannel Fling Before the Ring" gift for the future bride or groom, "pop the balloon with an axe" gender reveals, birthday gift packages, and even divorce parties. Give us a call and we'll help you make sure your celebration is AXE-tra special.
WALK-INSDO YOU SAVE LANES FOR WALK-INS?
No, walk-ins will be slotted in whenever a lane opens up.
WILL YOU COMBINE WALK-IN GROUPS?
On busy nights, we may combine walk-in groups with other walk-ins. The only way to guarantee that your group will have its own lane is with a reservation.
