This place is awesome. Great location near the old city. Great atmosphere. Great, friendly staff and Gypsy Circus on tap, hell yes. Throwing axes was easier than I imagined, but definitely challenging enough to keep things interesting. It feels extremely manly to throw axes at a target while wearing plaid, and drinking local apple cider in the fall. Great place for a date or just for friends getting together to unwind. Went with my brother whom I hadnt seen in 3 years and it was a magnificent time. Every little thing was perfect. Great bro time. Price seems like it might be a little high, but it was so worth it.

Had a great time. Went for a birthday party.

I took my dad here for a fun activity for us to do. We showed up early, but they were able to accommodate us. We grabbed and beer and then settled into our lane. The attendant explaining things was very friendly and personable and we were soon landing axes. It was a lot of fun, but it does take a lot of energy. Also, your shoulder may be a bit sore the next day, but overall would highly recommend.

Awesome place for date night or a family activity. The lanes are set up to be super safe. We had so much fun throwing axes here! Our instructor Chris was great! Super funny and really helpful teaching us proper technique and game rules - we were sticking axes within a few minutes! Highly, highly recommend coming here!

We loved it!

Craft Axe Throwing was a wonderful place for a first-time axe thrower like myself. I took my girlfriend on a date here and James was our guide. He was very friendly, attentive, and kind and made my girlfriend and I feel right at home despite being complete beginners. His instruction on the mechanics were very clear and concise while still prioritizing the safety of ourselves and others. The space is very clean and well-kept and we will certainly be returning. Thank you Craft Axe Throwing and thank you James for a very fun date night!

My daughter bought a gift certificate for us to have a date night andwe really enjoyed it. Staff was very helpful. I think it would have been more fun if we had more people to compete with but we had a great time.

I just wanted to drop a review on by far the coolest axe coach in knoxville. I go into craft axe on a very regular basis and always see James working with the group that’s having the best time in the building. He introduced me to the sport and even got me involved with the league. On multiple occasions I’ve seen him compete with his customer get even the shyest and most reserved people jumping and hollering at a bullseye they made with his help. James by all accounts is the best hype man and coach I’ve seen at craft axe. Even though he’s never beat me (muhahaha). If you need someone to keep the action coming with your group and make sure everyone leaves with a bullseye under their belt he’s the man to talk to. I’ve taken all my friends to him and they all have said that he made the energy that helped them get into the spirit of it. Thanks for always making things fun and competitive James you’re a stud!

10/10 recommend this place! Had our date night here, the activities alone were enjoyable but our throwing coach James made this experience one of a kind! He got both of us landing axes on the board in minutes and the games he walked us through were so much fun! I’m requesting James every time as our coach! Thank you for keeping smiles and laughter going the whole time James, you’re the reason we will be coming back next time!

Wish I could create a rating of averages based on categories. Service and hospitality 5, value 4, environment and ambiance 5, cleanliness 5. Other than being a little pricey, this place is great. Staff was very friendly and professional. My family had a great time! Will be back again.

I’ve thrown at axe places before out of state and was very excited to find this place right at home!!! The setup was of the lanes was very unique and safe for sure and that is the number one thing in this game. They had a good beer selection and the staff was very very helpful and never left us hanging. I will be returning for sure!!!

My daughter, her husband and my grandson and his friend had a blast this afternoon throwing axes in your establishment. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants something different to do. You have a great staff, and just a wonderful place. Thank you for a great day!

A mom-friend and I went on “Moms Throw Free” day. We had a great time. Everybody was super friendly. Everything was clean and sanitized. Only gave it 4 Stars because I feel like it’s a little overpriced, but we’ll still be coming back with our husbands for a double date at some point. So nice to do something “different” without having to leave Knoxville!

We had so much fun. The staff was wonderful and the guy who helped show us how to throw was amazing and super helpful. I hate i cant remember his name

I was skeptical at first when my wife told me what we were going to be doing, but it turned out to be a blast! Great place to spend a hour or two with family and friends.Definitely coming back!!

This is a great place for a date night or just a night out with friends! Grab a beer and throw some axes! This place was a blast and will definitely go back again!

We had an amazing time. We had a group of 12 and they handled the large group very well. It is a great way of bringing everyone together and catching up.

My first time there, it was fun. I really enjoyed it, it was a great evening of fun and laughs. The staff was great, helpful and friendly. I would recommend it to everyone.

Four poor, helpless souls wandered into this establishment looking for something new to do in trashy k-town. Chris—good ol funny, teddy bear of a bald headed, cider-loving man, Chris—took us under his wing and showed us how much fun drinking alcohol and throwing sharp objects can be. It’s a little bit of a cluster duck at first, but you start to get the hang of it. Kinda like bowing, but like tons more potential to cause damage. 10/10 I recommend this place and for y’all to find Chris and give that man a hug and buy him a cider, by god. He deserves it!

Had much more fun than I thought I would. The entire family loved it and the staff was very helpful and accommodating. Would definitely recommend if youre looking for something a little out of the usual.

Had a great time!! Everyone was super accommodating except for our coach James, he was very vulgar and smelled rancid. I’ll give 5 stars only because the beer was great and the management was on top of things! Thanks guys!

Second time throwing here as my wife had so much fun we had a small b-day party for her with a group of 7. No problem handling a group with 2 lanes and the instructor even got one of the people in our group to stick the axe even though she would only throw a few times!Solid beer selection with perfect pricing, I dont always get a beer everytime Im out but with their prices I find myself getting 2.I havent thrown anywhere else so I cant compare it to other axe houses in the area but I highly recommend stopping in if youve never done it, its alot of fun and quite addictive!

This place is a lot of fun! And the people working there are great! We had a party of six and had a blast. I would highly recommend this for any family fun, guys night, or girls night.

Great place to throw an axe. Staff is fantastic. We had a wedding rehearsal party there and everyone had a wonderful time.

We had a great afternoon at this place. The peoplewere very accommodating and the gentleman helping our party group (I believe his name was Chris) was awesome. This is a very fun place to try out something new.

We went here for our anniversary date. It was so much fun. The staff were awesome. We will definite be going back.

Went with a group of 8 friends and had a great time! James was our host and he made it so much fun! He worked with all of us and by the end we’d all been able to throw the axe successfully a few times. He made up several competitions for us and even joined in to play with us. Beers are reasonably priced. I didn’t think about wearing close-toed shoes and they provide Crocs for free. We can’t wait to go back!

My friends and I had a wonderful experience. Our guide Chris was awesome and entertaining. Definitely would go back!

Awesome experience...all the guys were awesome and hung out and great teachers

Me and the wifey went here, never thrown an axe in our lives but James was fantastic and showed us the ropes and gave us pointers. He was super funny and friendly, well definitely be back!

Wife took me out to throw axes and have a few beers for my birthday, had a great time. Staff was really cool and helped out.

What an absolute blast for my birthday weekend! Our guide was awesome and so accommodating. After 1 hour, we wanted to do another hour and he was able to fit us in in less than no time. Highly recommended!

A fun experience. It was our first time and so we were glad we had a guide train us on the art of throwing an axe. His patience with us was impressive. The hour went by quickly but he was nice to give a 15min warning before it was up. The challenge games and practice time took up the time we had. If you need more time they were willing to let us extend the time on the (additional fee of course). Do your arm exercises and prepare for some next day soreness. Its worth it though. We would definitely go back again.

So fun! All the staff there are exceptionally nice and welcoming. Our axe guide gave instruction, celebrated good throws with us & gave us space to do our own thing as well! It was such a great experience & the the hour flew by. We will definitely be back with friends!

Lots of fun. Everyone is super nice and happy to teach you the basics and let you have a good time.

Our experience was amazing! Chris and Joey were very fun host. We will absolutely be back!

We had a great experience! It was our first time throwing axes and we had a great instructor and he was very patient with us. We will definitely be back again for more fun!

Amazing way to spend our 4 year anniversary. Everyone was so nice, they let me throw for free because Im a mother, i dont know if thats the norm or if they were running a special but the fact they even told us about it was so nice not to many places will tell you about a deal like that if you dont already know. It was super clean on the inside everyone had on their mask and sanitizer was available. We will definitely visit again when we are in the area.

Such a fun and well priced activity! Great for a date and such an awesome group of staff and coaches to make the whole thing even more enjoyable!

This was the first time I have ever been AXE throwing. It was quite fun. The gentleman that was working gave us tips on how to throw. Overall it was fun and i plan on doing it again!

Had a lot of fun and never knew I could learn to throw an axe with one hand!! But thanks to our instructor James, I feel like I could do it all dayThanks James!

Had a blast. It was our first time doing any kind of axe throwing, and we will definitely be back. Customer service was fabulous!!

First of all, this place is a super dope and hip place to hang out at, have some fun, and share a couple of craft brews with your best of friends, pals, and associates. Initially, one might think that the axe throwing can be difficult, or even quire dangerous. But, the staff is quite friendly and ensures that you do not throw axes without knowledge and supervision. Each lane, assuming its users are novices, are assigned coaches. In my visit, my lanes coach was Adam. He was quite knowledgeable on the art of throwing axes. Before you know it, I was hitting a bulls eye from the other end of the parking lot with the one handed axe. Eventually, I was able to move on to the two handed axe. Within five throws, I was wiping the floor of the competition with the fundamentals that Adam had taught me. Suddenly, I started to feel the pressure of the eyes from the other lanes dawn upon me, due to my superior fundamentals and skills. I was one of the lucky ones. I just so happened to stroll in, and get Adam as my lane coach. Due to this immense pressure, I decided to leave, so I would not drive off any business because of my superior knowledge of axe throwing. However, I will certainly be returning for more competitive events held at Craft Axe Throwing of Knoxville. I highly recommend this establishment.

This was such a unique and fun experience! There is nothing quite like it in Knoxville, and my husband and I had such a blast! The axe coaches are wonderful (special shout out to Hunter!) and they teach you everything you need to know to participate accurately and safely. Hunter was so encouraging and friendly and easily gave us the confidence to keep trying. There is such an exhilarating feeling when you finally get an axe to stick! I would highly recommend this to anyone and any size group!

Such a fun date night! The staff is awesome.

My wife and daughter brought me here for a Father’s Day/birthday experience. We had a great time and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to go back again!

This place is a blast! It takes practice to be able to get it to stick! Never knew how much fun this was! I will be going back with friends! Take a group and make it competitive!

Awesome place great price for great fun the staff is sweet and helps in every way they can

First time axe throwing and couldn’t have picked a better place to start. Clean place and relaxed atmosphere. If your new to axe throwing don’t worry they have friendly knowledgeable staff to walk you through the rules and techniques of the sports. My wife and I were able to catch on quickly and start sticking bullseyes and playing axe throwing games I would recommend recommend Craft Axe Throwing to anyone who wants to have a great time and throw some axes!!!

Their open house was friendly and welcoming. I was greeted right away. I was given a personal guide to help me understand safety and technique for throwing. (My guide, Tyler was personable and pleasant.) I highly recommend craft axe throwing! It was my first time with no prior experience, and it was fun and engaging.

Great family outing! Amazing staff! Chris was fun and extremely helpful with the kids!

What a great time! The staff were great. Very friendly and helpful. There are a lot of lanes for throwing. The lanes are sort of tightly packed together, so you sort of bump into other groups, BUT, having said that, you get to know the groups around you too and have fun with them as well. We reserved a lane and didnt have to wait at all when we arrived.

Really fun place! Busy, so definitely worth making a reservation online. The staff that trains are great, super friendly. Made the experience much easier to learn and they helped us play some games as well! We will definitely go back. The exterior sign was a little hidden, at least from the direction we came in. Waze does take you right to it though.

Great atmosphere and a really great experience.

My wife and I called tried to make a reservation online but they were booked. I called and was able to place my name on a list Incase someone called out. Luckily someone did and we had a fantastic time! We had an awesome instructor to ourselves who helped up hone in our skills and really enjoy our time!

Do not buy gift cards online for gifts. Ive spent a week tracking mine that I bought for a gift. It was to be delivered via email for a birthday gift. It was embarrassment for me when it wasnt delivered on time. But for Craft Axe, it didnt seem to bother them at all. Happens all the time, said Dina. No return phone call or follow up email either. Bad business practice for a newly emerging company!

Fantastic. They need to serve food though

A fun time! I liked the choice of throwing a two-handed axe and a smaller one-hand size. The bar and bar area could be improved, which is why I rate a 4 instead of a 5. People can bring their own food in.I look forward to going back!!!

Great date night. Wife was surprised, very nervous first, but Hes made her feel at ease, and I believe she stuck the ax more than I did.

Never have I ever been so welcomed to a place like this ive never even been inside a place like this so clean and staff so friendly definitely a place to kick back and relax really wish the hours were more flexible. The hours as they are now leave very little time for many to come in and have a good time if they can at some point change them to be more convenient Id be more inclined to go but for someone like myself who works in the afternoon until late evening and has no weekend to play. Its hard to really get time to go if they opened up Mondays and Tuesdays or just had earlier hours during the week or weekend Id love to spend plenty of time and money there for sure.

This place was a lot of fun! The bartender was friendly and fun to talk to while we waited on out lane to open. Joey, one of the instructors/safety employees, Was really down to earth and was dedicated to making sure we make an axe stick! Within 10 mins he had us hitting the bullseye! If you do 2 people per lane, an hour is PLENTY of time to have a good time. Groups would be a lot of fun, you just dont get as many throws. Only down side was parking is kinda limited. It was a GREAT date night and we look forward to doing it again!

This was so much fun! Booking the lane went very smoothly, our axe coach Hunter was very helpful. He showed us what to do and gave us lots of great pointers. We will definitely be going back, great date idea!

Great time, never thought axe throwing would be fun but it was. Competitions with groups make it even better. Beer selection is craft and great

Great time fun place to take the work team

Loved the axe throwing, nice people!

The staff was very friendly and helpful! Awesome place

I highly recommend Craft Axe Throwing! We had a really fun time at their open house and the staff members were very helpful and friendly! This was my first time doing it, and they were extremely helpful with giving tips and techniques!

Staff was very friendly and helpful. James (staff) spent a ton of time with us showing us how to perfect our axe throwing skills. We will definitely be back!

We had the best time ! Chris was our instructor and he was so great! Can’t wait to get back!

We had so much fun! One of their employees spent an entire hour with us helping us keep score and teaching us various throwing techniques. Great place!

Great place. Open and comfortable. Bar seat near the throwing areas for observers. Snacks and drinks. Knowledgeable instructors.

Me and my little family where in the area so we decided to pop in and have a look around to see how different things would be at another axe house. When we first came in we were not greeted until about 15 minutes of standing at the front counter. The bar isnt much of a bar but is decent. After having a look around we decided to check out prices and decided to throw. On the pricing is about average but they do offer 30 min all the way up to 2 hours. They only have single lanes and only have two types of axes to choose from although you can bring in your own axe. With it only being a single lane and have no back room for there backup targets it makes it a very crowded. They say kid friendly but its hard to keep an eye on your little one if you kid is to small to throw because their game for the kids is upfront behind the wall so not much of a small kid friendly. They do not wet there boards so to me for someone who throws every week the quality of the target is not great and makes it hard for your axe to stick and because the boards where dry they crumbled very easily or chunked off in bigger pieces easier leaving a mess at the bottom of the lane which is not kept up with well. The parking is tight and not much for parking near by but all in in all not a bad experience but for someone who is a seasoned axe thrower its ok.

Had a great time and would definitely recommend it!

Fun and a different date night. Would be better if they let you take your board as a souvenir or sell it

This has to be the most fun you can have with an axe where you dont have legal charges pending afterwards.

Loads of fun, 20 bucks a head for an hour of wearing yourself out throwing an axe

Great time, good teacher, have fun!

James was amazing to work with!!! We loved our experience and would definitely do it again!

Fun atmosphere and the staff was great

Fun outing for a group

A lot of fun and instructor was very helpful

Great fun great staff enjoyed it with the family

Lots of fun staff was very friendly

Fun with flying axes!

We had a blast!!!!

Boom

Had a great time. Tyler and Rob were awesome!
