Dedicated Instructor & MC
Your own Instructor runs the whole night — game coaching, competitions, crowd energy, and safety. This isn't a space rental. It's a full hosted experience unlike anything else in NYC.
Everything Built In
No outside catering, no separate entertainment to hire, no awkward coordination. Food, cocktails, axe throwing, and vibes — all handled from one call.
Private Venue Hire
Full or partial buyout available. Your group gets the space, the staff, and the experience — exclusively yours for the night.
Curated Food & Cocktails
Chef-crafted shareable menu and in-house mixologist cocktails — not a standard open bar. Built for the occasion, not a corporate catering list.
Any Group Size
10 to 600 guests. Multiple simultaneous lanes, staggered schedules — it all scales seamlessly no matter how big the party gets.
Fast Response
Submit your details and our events team responds within 24 hours with a custom proposal. No commitment required.
The Experience
EVERYTHING YOUR PARTY NEEDS
01
Main Event
Axe Throwing
Your dedicated Instructor coaches everyone from first throw to final bullseye — running competitions, keeping energy high, and making sure every guest is involved. No other venue in NYC does this.
02
Curated Menu
Chef-Crafted Shareables
Upscale bites built for parties — not a wedding caterer, not a restaurant. Shareable plates that keep the energy up without a formal sit-down. Fully customizable for your group's tastes.
03
In-House Mixologists
Artisanal Cocktails
Two full bars run by our in-house mixologists. Craft cocktails and rotating craft beers — not a hotel open bar. A real drinks experience, built for celebration.
04
Private Hire
Full Venue Buyout
Reserve the entire venue — all floors, all lanes, both bars. Your group gets the full Live Axe experience exclusively. Perfect for larger celebrations that deserve the whole space.
05
Add-On
Live Rage Room
Add our rage room to any private event. Smash, break, and destroy in our fully equipped Rage Room — the ultimate party add-on that no other venue in NYC offers.
06
The Venue
Modern Lounge & Space
10,000 sq ft of dramatic Viking-inspired décor across two floors. Moody lighting, exposed brick, and the kind of backdrop that makes every photo worth posting.

"Best bachelorette party I've ever been to. The Instructor kept the whole group engaged — even the people who were nervous about throwing axes were having the time of their lives within 10 minutes."

"We did a full venue buyout for my husband's surprise party. The team handled everything — I literally made one call and showed up. 45 people, two floors, open bar, axe throwing. It was unreal."
