We prefer that groups arrive no more than 5 minutes prior to the time that you have booked.  We don’t want people gathering in large groups waiting for their lanes to be available.  HOWEVER, you are free to hang out elsewhere in the venue before your reservation.

First and foremost, for safety purposes we require ALL PARTICIPANTS to wear closed-toed shoes.  The axes can bounce back a bit, and we don’t want to be responsible for your poor little tootsies being hurt.  Not that it’s happened, but we’d rather be safe than sorry.

Other than that, make sure you dress comfortably.  This is a very physical activity, and we don’t suggest you try to throw in your Saturday night club outfit.  But hey, if you’re comfortable throwing in that sparkly tube top and patent leather pants, go for it… you 2001 fashion maven, you.  We recommend wearing layers, as it may start off a little chilly, then get a little sweaty as things progress.  We do frown on public nudity (sorry to ruin your weekend fun), so layer up, ladies and gentlemen!

Yes.  We require all customers of All American Battle Bar to be 21+ during normal business hours (Fridays 6-Mid & Saturdays 4-Mid.) We will be checking ID’s of everyone who looks under the age of 40.

For off-hours private parties, we allow all ages in the venue.  However, all axe-throwing participants must be at least 15 years of age.  Anyone 15-17 must have their parents sign their waiver for them.  If the parent is not present, they may sign the WAIVER in advance.

If you absolutely must bring any children 0-14, you may.  They can watch everyone play from a safe distance. However, they can not throw any axes or go inside the throwing lane at all, and you are responsible for watching them.  We are axeperts, not babysitters.  Besides, do you really want to leave your kids in the care of people specializing in throwing sharp objects?

We do require some age verification if the age of a child that plans to throw axes is in question.  This is to protect both ourselves and all customers.  Verification can be in the form of a school ID, driver’s permit/license, birth certificate, passport, or national ID.

ABSOLUTELY!  We encourage groups to document their experience as much as they like, and share your fun wherever you want.  We also feature several photo ops for fun backdrops for your photos.  However, we ask that you do make sure that it does not disrupt any of your axe games.  We will be happy to take a group photo or two at the end of your experience, just ask one of our axeperts or bartenders.

Your group will be instructed on all of the rules at the beginning of your experience by one of our axeperts. Some of it involves axe-throwing technique, but most of it involves safety.  Safety is #1 at AAAT, so listen to your axeperts.  If anyone is disobeying our safety guidelines, our axeperts reserve the right to cut the experience short, or to not allow any one person inside the throwing lanes for the rest of the time.

If you would like a copy of our rules before you arrive, shoot us an email (operations@allamericanaxethrowing.com) and we’ll be happy to send them to you.

For public play, whether during regular or special hours, you may bring your own axe. However, they must be measured & weighed by our axeperts before play to ensure that they meet safe standards.

No, we neither provide nor allow throwing knives or stars to be brought into our facilities.

Of course!  We don’t have a concession stand at either location, so you are free to bring any kind of food that you want with you or have some delivered.  However, keep in mind that each group only has one table, so there’s not that much room (unless you have a private party.) You are responsible for all clean up.

YES!  At BOTH of our locations we now feature beer, liquor, water, soda, and more!  Therefore, you may not bring your own beverages, alcoholic or otherwise.

Because of the full bars at both locations, participants ARE NOT permitted to bring their own drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic alike.  The exception is bottled water.

There is a 2 drink limit per person for safety reasons & we check the IDs of anyone under the age of 40.

We know what you’re thinking; everyone says it: “Axe throwing and alcohol? That sounds like a bad idea.”  You might be surprised to learn that the vast majority of axe throwing venues also offer alcohol.  We make sure to monitor our customers closely.  If a participant arrives too intoxicated or becomes too impaired to play safely, we reserve the right to end their experience. This is for the safety of all involved.

We understand that sometimes life gets in the way or that unexpected situations arise.  If you know that your group will not be on time for your reservation, we would appreciate either an email (operations@allamericanaxethrowing.com) or a call/voicemail/text (234-281-4012) to let us know.  If at all possible, we will try our best to accommodate you and give you the entire time that you paid for or as close to it as we can.

Though, on very busy nights this may not be possible, as there’s a good chance you won’t receive your full time if you are late and no refunds will be given. There may be other groups reserved on your lane(s) for the time slot(s) after yours. It’s not fair to them to start late or lose time because your group didn’t make it at the start of your reservation.

Groups more than 30 minutes late without contacting us will be marked as a “no-show” and no refunds will be given.

If, for some reason, your group loses time or starts late because of something on our end (be it equipment failure or staff oversight,) that will be handled on a case-by-case basis.  However, keep in mind that the first 15 minutes of your reservation are reserved for instruction & rules, and we also can not be held accountable if some of your party is late and you choose to wait to start.

We understand that sometimes life gets in the way and plans change.  Therefore, we will allow groups to cancel/change their booking. If there is at least 24 hours notice on the cancellation/change, you will receive a full refund. If you cancel with less than 24-hours notice or are a No-Show/No-Call, you will receive NO REFUND*.

*However, it is possible we may lift that policy in certain emergency situations.  Please contact us if you have an emergency. A small cancellation fee may be applied in these situations.

We do recommend that, due to limited availability, reservations be made online in advance for axe throwing or escape rooms.

Customers can alter or cancel their own reservation up to 24 hours before their booking.  Find your confirmation email, scroll down, and look for the orange button that says “View / change booking.”

That will take you to your booking (scroll down past the info at the top of the page) where you can edit each detail by clicking the pencil symbol beside each one. You can change which lane you’ve booked, the date and/or time of the booking, the amount of participants, or your contact details.

To cancel your booking, click the red “cancel my booking” button at the bottom of the page.  The system will not auto-refund you, so we will have to manually process your refund (if you are eligible to one) ourselves. This can take up to 3-5 business days.

If you want to change/cancel your booking less than 24 hours before your reservation, please shoot us an email at operations@allamericanbattlebar.com and we will get back to you.

If you would like to add extra players to your existing reservation (up to the maximum of each lane) 24+ hours before your booking, you may follow the instructions to change your booking in the question above this one.

However, you may also have additional players added upon arrival for your reservation. They can just pay the bartender, or even add the charge to their bar tabs!

You and your friends will spend 1 or 2 hours throwing a small hatchet at a target as you learn, practice, and then finally square off toe-to-toe in a group tournament that will result in the crowning of an Axe Throwing Champion. Our unique axe throwing experience is fun and casual! Whether you are looking to pick up a new hobby, learn a new skill, or simply find a reason to hang out with some of your favorite friends, we are here to serve you with an unforgettable experience.

Yes!  Despite what many think when they hear about axe throwing, it is actually very safe.  We are very strict with our rules and they are to make sure that everyone is throwing the axes in a safe manner.

Yes!  We’ve had many differently-abled persons throw at our venues and they’ve had wonderful times.  Both locations are accessible.

In Akron, the handicap parking is clearly marked in the main parking lot.

In Canton, to bypass the upper-level parking & stairs, you will need to pull through Gate #1 off of Cliftmont Ave. (NOT the main Axe Throwing gate) and turn right to park in front of the entrance to All American Battle Bar (blue door.)  If Gate #1 is not open, call us at 234-281-4012 or send someone inside to get an employee to unlock the gate.

Yes! Our axe throwing sessions are run by trained “axeperts” who will show you how to safely handle an axe and chuck it with accuracy whilst giving you tips on how to capture that illustrious bullseye.

Nope!  All American Axe Throwing will provide you with everything you need to have an amazing experience.

We used to, but there wasn’t enough interest to keep them going.  If enough patrons express interest, however, we will be happy to start them up again!  We are no longer affiliated with any official organizations, so the leagues would be independent.

You & your group will be locked into a room for 60 minutes.  Your job is to work together to find clues & solve puzzles in order to escape before the 60 minutes is up.

Diamond Duck Bowling is just like regular bowling, but mini!  Shorter lanes, smaller & lighter balls, smaller pins (on strings) and, best of all, no need to change your shoes!  Duck Pin Bowling is available only at our Canton location and can only be paid for on location on a first-come, first-served basis. The price is $5/pp.  No bowling lanes can be reserved during normal business hours.

Yes, we do!  We have new Party Packages that are available during off-business hours.  We require at least twenty (20) players for a booking on a special day/time.  Also, to ensure availability of the facility and of the staff, we recommend at least a 7-day advance notice for all special bookings. Please see our PARTIES page for more information.

If your group is 18 people or less and will fall during our normal business hours, you may just book your game online like normal.

YES, we do!

GIFT CARDS:  NEW! We now have physical gift cards available for both locations.  They are available for $60 each and must be purchased in-person at either location on Fridays 6-11pm and Saturdays 4-11pm.  Cards are location-specific (Akron cards will only be valid at Akron location, same for Canton cards.)

DIGITAL GIFT VOUCHERS:  Several different denominations of gift vouchers are available for purchase HERE for our AKRON location, and HERE for our CANTON location.  You will be emailed a voucher code that you can print out and insert into any card/gift that you choose in order to present your gift to the giftee.

Go to the booking page for whichever location your gift voucher is for (vouchers are specific to either the AKRON or CANTON location and will not be valid at the other location.)  Near the top of the booking widget, above all of the available dates, you will see a button that says “ENTER CODE” (see below)   Click this button and a box will pop up in which you may type your voucher code.  Click ‘OK.’

If your code was accepted, you will see the following screen (red box is only to obscure code used for this example):

NOTE:   If you have any residual amount left from not using the entire amount of a voucher previously (within the 1-year from when it was purchased,) it will show up as a credit in your customer area.  You will NOT need to enter the voucher code during a subsequent booking.  You will simply need to use the same name and email that you used previously in order for the system to allow you to use the leftover amount from the voucher.

Absolutely… sort of (we’ll get to that later*.)  As long as you aren’t bringing an entire football team along to watch, we gladly allow people to come and watch without paying the axe throwing or escape room fees.  Remember, each lane has limited seating available, so everyone may not have a seat.  Our axeperts will make sure that person(s) do not throw without paying.  It’s not fair to everyone else if we do so.

HOWEVER, any guests that have not paid the axe throwing or escape room reservation fees will be subject to the $10 cover charge to enter the venue beginning in 2025.

Currently, we do not offer mobile axe throwing. We suggest checking out Grab That Axe, Axe Masters, or Savage Axe for great mobile throwing options.
