Over priced and LAUGHABLY disorganized. It costs $40 for a reservation, and that's IF the staff is even prepared in time for your arrival. Not to mention that despite having an online reservation, my time was screwed up (Scheduled for 8:30pm...but was told my reservation was at 10pm) due to the staff haphazardly writing all the reservations down in a notebook. Very smart...The staff are either incompetent, or under the influence, as every one we talked to was bewildered on how to charge two drinks on a single card. So we were charged for drinks AND our throwing time (which we hadn't even done yet) all on one tab.After waiting nearly 20 minutes after our wrongly scheduled reservation, one of the staff finally screamed across the bar to let everyone know they were ready for axe throwers. So we left.Absolute joke of a business. Get it together.

No food, but plenty of drinks. But let's be honest, that's not why you're here- it's Axe throwing! Really fun and throwing an axe is both easier and harder than you think. You'll get it effortlessly some times, then glitch hard for no reason. It's like golf for Vikings.One side note, it's in the basement of an office building, so it feels a bit secretive, which only adds to the fun.

I was a regular customer at the Brewcade in the same building, and same owner, as this for most of the time it was open, and I looked forward to going there every weekend. Ellen, the lead axe coach, would come and talk to me and convinced me to try axe throwing, and it is a lot of fun, and Ellen is amazing.The owners and employees treated me very well until the end of September, when they decided to replace the arcade with "Krazy Golf" and banned me from their Facebook page for saying I'd have to find something else to do in response to the removal of the games. The bartenders (especially Kris) also scolded me for daring to say anything about it too and told me the owners would tell me to get the hell out. I have never been to a business that treated their customers this way.There have also been several now-former employees who have told me that the owners treated them like garbage. It also sounds like the owners moved from a nice location to this and don't understand Waukesha AT ALL. You're in a college town. All your competition is open until 2 AM. I don't care if you don't want to deal with the late night crowd. And no real signage for Lumber Axe or advertising? Nobody knows you're there! Utter incompetence on all sides here.Do yourselves a favor and avoid this, Krazy Golf, and any other businesses owned by these people. They don't care about their employees or customers at all.

A few friends and I went off of a recommendation and thought it would be fun to go throw axes. My friend who had went before said you have to make a reservation(which it seems like you dont) so he reserved a hour and a half for 5 people. We figured make the reservation then all pay when we're done, turns out we were charged separately but then he was charged for the 5 people! The person who was running the axe throwing part of the bar was nice and friendly when it came to teaching us how to throw, but unfortunately didn't know how to ring people up and had us all pay multiple times cause they didn't know what they were doing. The food(appetizers) were amazing! But they would stop people with drinks from coming to the axe part from the bar when we had drinks we ordered from the axe person. Overall a fun time but they have some staff and guidance issues they need to work out. Honestly, I probably won't go back.

Respectfully. It is not even close to being worth the money in the new place. It's basically a sayna and its tiny. No alcohol selection. Hard to find and in some random office building. It was really fun in the last location and if it changes locations again I'd definitely be interested again. But 30 dollars a person is about 20 too much for what it is. The atmosphere is terrible right now. Although the lady behind the counter was Very nice
Current location is abysmal. No sign outside to indicate the business is even there. Men's bathroom ceiling leaks. Only one type of axe per lane, and just a standard target, no projections. For the cost compared to other locations, this should have been much better.

Our first time and we LOVED it!!! Definitely going to come back with the guys (maybe) lol

I'd put 0.5 stars if I could... 100% false advertising. Horrible experience. If you look at the website it seems like theres a small bar where your axe throwing and "downstairs" at their sister bar you can order food and drink. Nope. No bar.They basically have a Walmart mini fridge with basic beer options. Food was ok. If your not from the area you'd have a hard time figuring out where this place is. It's basically in an old apartment or office building that doesn't seem up to fire code per capacity. No obvious exit signs if there was an emergency. If you needed to find a stairwell you'd have to open random doors to find it. The 'downstairs' bar is around the corner in a different section of the building. Went there after to get drinks. 3 of the drinks had bugs in it. Overall. Bad experience. Won't be back to either businesses.

Hope they get in their new location, sucks that they were not in the same one, I took my wife on one of our 1st dates here. We just had our 1st anniversary and they moved. Someone trashed the elevator with a full chicken and sauce. Not Lumber axes fault.
