Best Axe Throwing Spots Around Pittsburgh

If you’re looking for a fun date or group activity look no further than the latest trend of Axe Throwing.

Now some may say there’s nothing new about axe throwing, as the past time is as old as axes themselves, but the activity is becoming ever so popular among a more urban crowd, who may not normally get a chance to toss the axe around the farm.

LumberjAxe is Pittsburgh’s first competitive axe-throwing venue.

A popular pastime in Canada, it’s sweeping the US in the past few years.

My company had hosted a corporate function event here.  Everything about it was fantastic...

This rustic warehouse allows BYOB and you can order food for delivery.  Their axe throwing experts will guide you on best practices and safety before you begin.

They host axe throwing leagues, group rentals, and Cosmic Axe Throwing, a fun twist on the activity similar to Cosmic Bowling with low lighting and blacklight day glow paints. Sessions are typically an hour, or 2.5 hours for groups.

First time axe throwing and it was a blast!...

“...The hour flew by and by the end of the hour, we all finally got the hang of it and were "aces."  It's an awesome experience with friends. I would highly recommend Ace Axe Throwing to anyone looking for a fun night out. It's also BYOB! Axes and alcohol are a great combination!” - Yelp Review

Created by the owners of IQ Escape, Throw is the only Pittsburgh spot to offer axe and knife throwing experiences that will stimulate all of your senses, offering a range of unique targets to throw at.

You can sign up for a variety of games from simple straight forward throwing, to matches, scored similarly to bowling, Smart Axe combining throwing with trivia, Scraxle combining throwing with scrabble where the letters you hit are the letters you use to build your word, and Axe High combining throwing with poker, hit the best “cards” for the best hand.

Truly like no other axe throwing spot in Pittsburgh! Rates run $20/ person, or for groups $80/ target (good for 4 people).

“Throw was an amazing place to axe throw...Throw is accommodating to everyone: children, disabled, excited, and timid throwers alike will get personal instruction and help throwing. You can throw an axe in many places in and around the city...but Throw will leave an incredible lasting impression" - Google Review

Valhalla adds a unique spin on the axe throwing experience.

Archery is performed outdoors and is weather permitting.

Once again you can BYOB/F onsite to enjoy while you throw. They also host a junior and adult throwing league. Pricing is $20 per hour per person.

“...Such a fun & different kind of experience...I recommend this for anyone. It's easy to pick up on. If you're looking for something that's more engaging than a night out at the movies and a little different than a night at the bowling alley, this is it!” - Yelp Review
