I booked a group of 10 coworkers to have a fun night throwing axes. We did have a great time, because we made sure we did. First off, it was very hard to schedule with Bad Axe. The only response to my online reservation was that they couldn't confirm it because they didn't have an instructor. They would let me know when they did. The day before our event, I still hadn't heard back from them. I called and was told they couldn't find anybody but were still looking. Then 10 minutes later, I got a call that they had suddenly found an instructor. Their location is horrible and dangerous. We went on a Sunday evening . There is a homeless mission right across the street from Bad Axe and lots of homeless people were hanging around. There were many tents set up along the street right by the location. It was very sketchy. I was told that we could not bring our own drinks because they sold them there. We arrived and were told that they had had a big event the night before and were sold out of all of their beer. They did have a few cans of soda that we could purchase. That was a big damper on our party. You'd think they could've either restocked or told us ahead of time that we could bring our own beer. Our instructor was a young woman who had brought her very small baby to work with her. She was the only employee there and told us she hadn't worked there very long. She tried her best, I'm sure, but her throwing skills were minimal and she was unable to show us how to make an ax actually stick in the wood. We paid $35.00 each for two hours. Summary: we had fun because we made it be fun. We would not return here for the reasons above and would not recommend Bad Axe. There are other ax throwing places in Fort Worth that are in safer locations, cheaper, actually have beer or let you BYOB, and have instructors who are actually good at ax throwing. Stay away.
