AXE THROWING
The Best Axe Throwing Venue In The USA
A review of the Slashers axe throwing bar in Costa Mesa
If there is a better axe throwing bar than Slashers anywhere in the USA, I’d be amazed, but this review is not really about promoting an individual venue. Obviously there is no objective measure for declaring a venue as the ‘best”. What I want to do is highlight the ingredients that go into to an exceptional venue, which Slashers definitely is.
I was initially put off by the name “Slashers,” thinking it might imply a lack of seriousness about the sport. More like a theme bar maybe, rather than a real axe throwing experience. But I was pleasantly surprised to find that was far from the case and was really glad I ignored my initial misgivings.
From the moment I walked in, I was hit by this buzzing atmosphere, which felt more like happy hour in the best bar in town, than your average throwing range. The enthusiastic welcomer made me feel right at home, and quickly found me a spare lane even though the place was packed (and I’d just dropped in on the off-chance of a throw).
The horror-theme was infused into the environment with suitable decor adding a unique touch to the atmosphere. I thought it was just the right amount to make it a fun and stylish place to hang out…
