So, I finally tried axe throwing, and it turns out my aim isn’t as sharp as I thought. The first throw? Yeah, the axe just looked at the target and said, “Nope.”
At least the bartender wasn’t judging me, though I’m pretty sure he was mentally making a list of people he’d rather trust with a weapon.
But hey, if you’re looking to stick it (pun intended) at your next weekend hangout, there’s no shortage of places in Dallas where you can channel your inner lumberjack and let off some steam.
Now, here are spots every local who’s thrown more than their fair share of axes will tell you are a must-try!

Location: 3520 Grapevine Mills Blvd N, Grapevine
Website: http://corkysgamingbistro.com/
Phone: +18175325000
Operating hours:
- Wednesday and Thursday: 11 am – 9:30 pm
- Friday: 6:30 pm – 11 pm
- Saturday: 11 am – 11 pm
- Sunday: 12 pm – 8 pm
Pricing: $20 per person
Corky’s Gaming Bistro has 8 lanes, so you and your crew can really test your skills and see who’s the best at hitting that bullseye. The setup is simple—$19.99 per person gets you a full hour of axe-throwing action.
It’s pretty inclusive too—anyone 11 and up can join in, though if you’re bringing teens under 17, a parent or guardian will need to stick around.
Each lane fits about 4-5 people, so if your group is bigger than that, grabbing an extra lane is a good idea to keep everyone throwing comfortably.
And before the games begin, you’ll go through a quick briefing and some training—their “Axeperts” (yes, that’s what they call them) are there to guide you every step of the way and make sure you’re having a blast while staying safe.
They also provide all the equipment, so there’s no need to bring your own axe—in fact, you can’t, due to their insurance policies.
Pro Tip:
They run on a movie-style schedule, so show up about 30 minutes before your session. If you’re late, you’ll miss some of the fun, and unfortunately, they don’t do refunds, but you can try to reschedule if they’ve got an opening.

Grab Your Axe has eight lanes where up to six people can throw at once, making it perfect for a group outing or just some competitive fun with friends.
Just don’t forget the golden rule: closed-toe shoes are non-negotiable. No slippers, sandals, or bare feet allowed.
They won’t let you throw otherwise, and believe me, watching everyone else have fun while you’re sidelined isn’t ideal.
The vibe at Grabe Your Axe is super casual, so loose, comfy clothes are the way to go. Think about the motion you’ll need to make when you throw; you’ll want to avoid anything too tight or restrictive.
And here’s something cool—they’re known for having some of the safest lanes in the metroplex, which means even younger throwers can join in.
Kids as young as 12 can participate, but if anyone under 18 is tagging along, a parent or legal guardian will need to sign a waiver.

Grabe Your Axe has a pretty chill BYOB policy! You can bring your own beer or wine, but it’s limited to two drinks per person. It keeps things fun and responsible while you’re letting those axes fly!
