Dueling Axes | Axe Throwing Bar

We do not sell food, but we do allow all guests to bring in any food they want to as part of our BYOB and outside food friendly policy. In addition, several of the local bars and restaurants will deliver their full food menu, bottled/canned beer, and full bottles of wine directly to you at your lane while you're throwing. All for no delivery fee. We have these menus available to our guests at each throwing lane. Restaurants that deliver in are The Walrus, Pecan Penny's and Late Night Slice. In addition to these restaurants, other area restaurants, such as Dirty Franks and Side Bar will also cater in for larger events.

At our Downtown location we don’t have our own parking lot, but there are meters throughout the area ($1/hour with a 3 hour max). Some side streets have cheaper options if you’re willing to walk a block or two. There are also several surface parking lots and garage options (Main St./4th St., Cherry/4th St. and 3rd St./Cherry)

In conjunction with providing a lane buffer between all reservations, we’ll be rearranging our table/seating spaces and common areas in an effort to maximize distance between groups. Included in that effort will be designated group throwing areas marked on the floor and with physical barriers where you and your group can be more relaxed. Additionally, as always at Dueling Axes, all reservations will remain private and we will never pair you up with another group. Guests will also not be allowed to linger in the common areas.

Absolutely. We have sourced locally produced hand sanitizer and will have it available at all throwing lanes and throughout the common areas.

Employees will be required to wear face masks during their entire shift. All guests will be required to have a face mask with them, but will only be required to wear it during check in and when they are not in their designated throwing area. While guests are in their designated throwing area and not interacting with our staff they are free to take them off to eat, drink and socialize.

Yes, and we encourage you to do it. Axe throwing is super fun and we hope you take lots of pictures and video to remember your time with us. Helpful tip, "slo-mo" video and Boomerang video work extremely well to capture the fun. You can also feel free to ask your coach to snap a shot of your entire group. Happy throwing!

We use a 1.25 lbs hatchet with a 14", hickory handle. It is about the size of a hammer.

I would say much lighter than throwing a bowling ball if that helps.

To date (3/10/20), we have a single location at 309 South 4th Street in Downtown Columbus. It opened on July 14, 2018.

We are also currently expanding to Las Vegas, NV where we will have a location inside the AREA15 development on the north end of the Las Vegas strip.

Hi Wayne, we have kiosk stations at our check in counter that can be used to sign the waiver when you arrive for your reservation. However, to make your reservation check in go faster there are options for you to sign before you arrive. In the reservation confirmation email there is a link to the waiver, or you can visit our website (www.theduelingaxes.com) and in the bottom right corner there is a "Sign Our Waiver" tab. If you click on that tab you can search for your reservation and sign the waiver before you arrive as well.

We know things come up and life happens, so we'll do our best to accommodate the best we can in the event of a cancellation. We ask that any cancellation is made at least 48 hours before your reservation time. We can always help you reschedule to another day or time as long as an open reservation is available, or provide a refund. In the event of a cancellation within 48 hours, we will issue a refund in the form of store credit that can be used at a later date.

Hi Dawn, we don’t have a specific age limit but we recommend that younger throwers be at around 10-11 years old to make sure they have what it takes to stick an axe to the target. To date our youngest thrower has been 5 years old. Any throwers under the age of 18 will be required to have a parent or guardian with them who is legally able to sign their liability release. Additionally, throwers 13 years old or younger should have their legal guardian present while throwers between 14-18 years old just need an adult present. If you have additional questions we are happy to discuss and can possible make exceptions for certain circumstances. We're happy to discuss if you call 614.221.1600. Hope that helps.

Hi Dakota, great question. We will put up to 6 people on a single lane. If your group has more than 6 people our reservation software will automatically put you and your group on two lanes that are side-by-side. Most importantly, we promise to never pair you and your group with others that you don't know. So whether you are a having a date night of two participants, or you show up with a whole group of friends, you will throw together. We also have group rates and depending on the amount of people you have in the group, the appropriate amount of lanes will be assigned to your reservation to accommodate all players. If you have any additional questions please feel free to call us at 614.221.1600.

Can park on the street or there are a few parking lots xlkse to that location

About $37 for an hour after tax usually, the hour starts when the coach finishes teaching you and making sure that you got the technique down.

Yes, as a BYOB facility you can absolutely bring coolers. We allow you to bring beer, wine and nonalcoholic beverages, just no liquor. If you call ahead you can normally arrange to drop it off early, or pick it up at a later date as well. Don’t want to haul in your own food and drink? Don’t worry, you can order from any of our neighboring eateries and they’ll deliver their full food menu, canned/bottled beer and full bottles of wine directly to your lane(s). All with FREE delivery.

Our most popular reservation times last 1- or 2-hours. Keep in mind that at Dueling Axes all of the safety and technique training is provided to your group before your reservations time starts. That means you get your entire 1- or 2-hours of actual throw time to play games and have fun. Many other facilities advertise longer reservations but then use your time to taker care of training. We also have full facility buyout group packages that last between 3-4 hours.

Absolutely not, that would not be fun! At Dueling Axes we promise to always keep your group together and we will never pair you up with groups you do not know.
