Customer Reviews

I celebrated my 40th birthday party here this past Saturday with about 75 guests, and it was an incredible experience! From the very beginning, Josie (the owner) was amazing?super communicative, accommodating, and easy to work with. He allowed me to bring in outside catering and even helped find the perfect spot for a photo booth. Everyone had a great time taking turns axe throwing, and Josie managed to keep everything running smoothly, even with a large group. The entire night was full of fun, and all my

What a fun time! Axe throwing was a lot of fun! Food was great and Josie & Victor were very accommodating! There's so many different ways to play! Thank you for a great 1st experience to celebrate my son?s birthday see you soon

Had a great time. The atmosphere was chill and the variety of axe throwing games were good. Victor, the owner, was very gracious and kind. I will definitely be going back! Oh and how could I forget... The wings are delicious and the beers/ciders were cold with great options.

Son's 15th birthday party with 11 friends. The staff was attentive and helped those who required additional support. They added to the whole experience for all and many parents were excited to come back again for adult themed fun.

Held my 50th birthday party here today. The owners were wonderful to work with. All of our guests had a blast doing the axe throwing. This is a unique and fun venue! 10 stars if it were a choice.

Very fun place! We will absolutely be back. I do wish there were more food options, but they allowed us to bring in pizza from next door which was fantastic. Axe throwing was great, and they have a pool table in the back. Nice, clean restrooms.

Awesome place to hang out, Pool tables as well as Axe throwing. And I he owners are on point with their service. Come watch the Games and enjoy

This place was incredible! The axe throwing was so fun! The drinks and food were really yummy! I definitely recommend the sweet chili wings! The staff was very hospitable, helpful, and kind!

My partner and I had so much fun here! We found it on a whim while visiting the area to celebrate. What a great find! Amazing vibe, even better staff & owner. Thank you for having us! Can't wait to come back!

We had so much fun at our department event! The staff were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

Friendly, super service. The Twins that own the place are awesome. They want to do whatever they can to ensure you have a good time and enjoy your experience. The environment is very welcoming and enjoyable. Having a lot of bars on tab and options for entertainment make it a very enjoyable place. Come hang out, watch some football and throw some steel!

10/10 experience! I threw a surprise party for my boyfriend?s 30th and we rented out the back room. Jossy was very communicative with all my questions and requests and accommodated me many times, making it a very memorable and easy experience. Him and the crew even finished the rest of cleaning up the party room to allow us to go home before a snow storm. The axe throwing was top notch and the customer service from the crew was stellar! Thank you for an amazing time and an amazing experience.

Staff was very helpful and friendly. They had a large bar with plenty of selection on tap. Multiple axe throwing games so you can have fun competition. Highly recommend!

Very friendly and accommodating staff. I was in need of a last minute arrangement for my son?s birthday party, and they delivered such a nice experience, even went above and beyond to get the non-alcoholic drinks the teens needed.

Great place to hang out with some friends and chill! The axe throwing is really fun and the music is pretty good. The food was pretty good and well priced. 10/10 would recommend!

Came here on Monday evening for Axe throwing and we had a wonderful experience. Reserved our spot for an hour and got to experience more than just a standard target practice. They have games ranging from 2 to 4 players.

It was our first time axe throwing. Our instructor was excellent in teaching us. We truly enjoyed ourselves. The food was amazing, great cook. I'll go back and pass on the word to others!

Very nice place. Good bar (beer & wine). Food you can bring in from next door or wherever. The axe throwing is set up well and really fun.

Celebrating a birthday with friends! Great time throwing axes and great drink selection. Def gonna go back.

Saxon Hall is always an awesome place to come and have some fun with a large group, or in the case of this visit, just you and your partner! We made a reservation for 8:30pm but came early and luckily there was a lane open so we were able to get started! It was an hour of good fun and good ciders ???? Highly recommend coming here!

Loved this place, went to celebrate a friend daughter birthday and had a blast. The staff was friendly and welcoming. They showed us the basics and let us have fun. They had full bar, beer on tap and various cool ax throwing games.

My husband and I love Saxon Hall! Always have a great time - you like beer? They got 30+ beers on tap. Beer not your thing? They have cider, mead, wine, etc. Axe throwing is a lot of fun no matter if you're good or you suck. And they can teach you! Billiards and darts if axe throwing isn't your game. We love the bar area and conversation that inevitably ensues after a couple beverages.

Our first time here, and first time throwing an axe. Had a ton of fun here! Super friendly service, they were attentive and came over to provide and demonstrate techniques for those who needed some help- would have stayed even longer! We will definitely be back soon!!!! Thank you for a great time!!!

I had an unforgettable experience at SaxonHall. From the moment we walked in we felt the energy that made us feel instantly welcome. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly, but Jossy was great He took the time to explain the rules of axe throwing, ensuring we were comfortable and ready to hit the bullseye and have fun. Whether you're a first-timer or an experienced thrower, there's something for everyone, Victor the chef was very accommodating with the menu making sure everyone enjoyed dinner It's the pe

Awesome place!!! Great axe throwing and virtual golf coming soon!!! Owners the best. Lots of beers on tap!! Hidden gem!!

This was a lot of fun! There are different games to choose from for the axe throwing. Tic tac toe was a lot of fun. They have a great music play list. The workers were very friendly. The drinks were really yummy too (strawberry hard cider)

Great drinks and fun games! The first girl?s night we killed zombies and drank dragon hearts. It's a regular hang out for my friends and I.

What an absolutely amazing time!! Came here with a group from work and we just had an absolute blast!! Clean location. Super friendly helpful staff. Great drink selection. And the one zombie target weirdly looked exactly like me? Highly recommend! I'll definitely be back!

I had no idea how much fun I would have because I didn't know what to expect. It was great! You have a choice of targets that are all so different which keeps it interesting. I liked that they had a heavier weight and a lighter weight axe. I also did a flight combination of meads and ciders which I really enjoyed. The staff is so nice and helpful too. I HIGHLY recommend going.

really cool atmosphere, great beer selection, awesome place to come with friends! They have different game types for throwing too which is cool! Definitely recommend!

Always a great time. Wonderful staff, great games and so many beer, cider and Meade selections! Can't wait to go back.

This is by far the best axe throwing venue I have been to. Here's the breakdown. Axe Throwing: Uses modern tech system to create a fun series of axe throwing games. But still uses traditional wood backboard and, of course, real axes so the experience remains authentic. Vibe: They hit it out of the park with this one. You walk in and you'll know in the first 10 seconds the owners took their time to craft the hall. From the vibrant LED lights lining each lane to the medieval decor (shields, thrones, tapestr

We had a blast here throwing and drinking for an hour. The staff are very friendly and informative. The throwing board utilizes a projector so you can play several different games by throwing axes. We played black Jack, zombie hunting, candy crush, and some standard throwing. Would love to return!

First time ax throwing and I was nervous/unsure. The staff was so friendly and helpful! I really appreciated their guidance and suggestions. Really helped me feel comfortable and at ease. Great atmosphere and so much fun! If you have never tried I highly recommend! Bit of a learning curve, but incredibly fun once you get the hang of it. 10/10 recommend this place. Already looking forward to coming back!

On 1/13/2024 I hosted an Axe Throwing event for Self~Care JS Inc. nonprofit organization. The staff goes above and beyond the call of Customer service. I highly recommend Axe throwing at Saxon Hall. If I can give the venue 10 stars I would.

Perfect spot for a date night or with a group of friends! Staff was friendly and welcoming, snacks and drinks were great too!

Such a great time! Staff are nice people, excellent selection of beers, and the bartenders are great people! We had a party of 7 and two lanes was perfect!! I?D HIGHLY RECOMMEND AS A DATE NIGHT SPOT!!

Great experience! A lot of fun! The instructors are super nice and the place is super clean and organized!

Good drinks and axe throwing was lots of fun. Staff was really nice and helpful.

Super fun! Went with my church staff group and we had a great time. Not an uncomfortable bar scene. Very fun!

Had an absolutely wonderful experience this evening. The bartender was super friendly and helpful for a couple of first time axe throwers. The beer and mead were fresh and tasty. We will most definitely make more appearances here. Could not recommend Saxon Hall any more!! Thanks for the fun.

Super fun & really affordable! I didn't think I'd have as much fun as I did. The workers were super friendly & were laughing along with us as we failed to hit the target. Would absolutely come again & am trying to convince our company to have their holiday party there.

This place is so Rad! The Axe throwing is a blast the beers & ciders are deeelish & the staff is friendly helpful & Awesome! When in Newburgh, don't miss a visit to Saxon Hall!! ??

Excellent atmosphere and outstanding staff. Comfortable and enjoyable activity whether a novice or a proficient with an axe. The ability to pick different projected games adds a nice variety to the standard board. Definitely looking forward to returning soon.

Great experience!! A lot of fun for the family and friends!!

The best place to catch a couple beers after work. Awesome selection ?? great bar

This place is great! Perfect for a date night or to feel like a Viking. Unfortunately, if there's a Zombie Apocalypse and I have an axe, I'm screwed.

Such a great place for axe throwing! The staff is very helpful and nice and the games are very fun! Have a lot of good beers and ciders as well. I recommend the mango cart wheat ale!

Had an amazing time! The workers are friendly and made it a wonderful experience and the food was also great, 10/10!!

I recently planned a surprise party for my husband at Saxon Hall! I started the process back in January to have the party in July. From the start, everyone was so helpful with all the details. The day of the party, Julia was in charge and was so attentive and friendly with all the guests. The food from Dave?s Food Shack was also amazing! I highly recommend hosting a party at Saxon Hall or just enjoying a couple of hours of ax throwing; either way, you will have a great time!

Want something different to do? Check out Saxon Hall for some axe throwing! Staff Super Friendly! Group of us went ages 29 to 62, Great Time had by ALL!

Always a fantastic time at saxon hall. Just had my birthday party here for the third year in a row, we all love it and everybody has a blast every year. Each year they have more to do, and the staff is absolutely brilliant, extremely helpful, good humored, and amazing service. Highly recommend to anybody whether just looking for a cool spot to hang on a Friday night or somebody who wants to try out the throwing of axes for the first time.

Our first time doing axe throwing, the guys were very helpful explaining the game and helping us to set it up. Was very fun, the place was clean and with a nice ambiente. Nice music too

Had a great birthday throwing axes and drinking beers! Interior is spacious and they have a great selection of beer on tap. Would recommend!

Pretty cool atmosphere, axe throwing was great. Good selection of beer on tap and also the food was pretty good.

Friendly staff, casual atmosphere, good selection on beer. And enjoyable evening out.

Great time! Very friendly staff. Fun games and bar menu!

great experience! the owner is so helpful and friendly, my friends and i had such a great night here! pool table in the back is a fun vibe for after axe throwing

Josie was a great teacher! Definitely not naturally talented with axe throwing but he gave me great advice and I had a ton of fun with it.

I had fun, food was good. Great customer service & nobody wanted to leave lol

We were visiting family and spent an hour here with cousins. We had a really good time and a lot of fun. The staff was also super helpful. They also had quite a selection of beers and ciders. We even got to try mead! Would definitely recommend it for a night with friends/family. I was also super impressed with the tech! The score boards were pretty cool and very easy to use.

Very fun place with a great beverage selection. I never threw an ax before going here. Turns out, it's a lot of fun. The food is the only complaint we had, as it's currently a food truck. We were unable to order food as the truck was overwhelmed. What food I saw come out, looked great, and those that were eating it said it was very good. Staff was great and they dicounted our bill for the inconvenience of the food. They are already starting construction on a kitchen, so this problem is only temporary.

A great Nordic experience, atmosphere stands at a 10 and so do the choices in drinks. Customer service couldnt be better! They Show every patron how to properly throw an axe and how to have fun. They know how to make an experience enjoyable.

If you've ever wanted to throw axes at a wall and drink beer at the same time then this is the place for you! Great experience for everyone in the family. The staff was incredible and took care of everything we needed. They were very attentive and very much cared about what kind of experience you were having while there. I would definitely recommend this for everyone of all ages and experience level

Went here for a friends birthday party. We had an amazing time, the staff are super nice and the taps are awesome. The tech for the axe throwing made for some fierce competition. 10/10 I would recommend! The owner mentioned adding a pub food element, that will complete the picture, but for now Byof or grab pizza next door. Just go, it's so fun!

This place is pretty damn awesome. Where else can you get craft beers and throw axes in a controlled environment like this?! They have a ton of great beers on tap and the owner and staff were extremely nice and very accommodating. I went here for a birthday party and I can see myself going back with other friends to show them a good time. They also have a large game room in the back with pool tables, corn hole board and video games. I really like how you can play differently games with the axes to...the zo

Went axe throwing for the first time and it was so much fun. Little mini games and we stuck to the target game, probably was the best one. Super cool girl showed us how to throw and she's a professional. Wasn't too busy when we went which was cool bc it was quiet. We ordered food and their grilled cheese was it. I added pesto to it and it was yuuummm. Their sauces, fries, burgers? pretty much everything smacked

Had so much fun! Food was amazing!

Stop by if you're in the area! Nice beer selection and cool spot.

I love going here. The drinks are interesting and sometimes change depending on the season. The employees are always very friendly, creating a nice atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Great value - so much fun with a group of 6! Comfortable axe-mosphere (sorry couldn't help myself) and great instruction from Julia! The variety of games was nice & kept things from being too monotonous. Thanks Saxon Hall for being awesome ! Oh yeah - and the churros were fantastic!

Axe throwing was fun with a great selection of beer, cider, and mead on tap

From the beginning to the end it was an awesome experience! You get an excellent instructional and sign a waiver. Their menu is under construction but they were nice enough to offer to accommodate delivery of food from outside. You get 1hr and it's a great time of playing different games of axe throwing. Check them out!

Party of 9, we had a really great time, I think next time we would do a second hour. People running it were super friendly and helpful. Solid selection of beer and pizza was decent for what it was. We will definitely be returning.

Staff was amazing had a blast!!!! Highly recommend!!! Jossy & joby were absolutely great!!!!

Saxon Hall was a great time!! They had an amazing selection of beer and a great food truck with burgers and empanadas. I asked for suggestions with their mixed drinks and they took the time to create something special off menu! The staff were amazing and my fianc? and I can't wait to come back!

Must, must, go an amazing place to spend time with friends and family really good service and nice atmosphere again must do

Great spot! Not your typical boring axe throwing. The light up electronic targets make the games fun and competitive. Great selections of drinks too. Highly recommend.

I've never been here, but I run an axe throwing spot in Florida. The owner of Saxon Hall, Jobi, popped in with his daughter to check the place out. Nice guy, and super sweet kid! If the staff over there is half as courteous and knowledgable as my man, they're in great shape. Best of luck brother. Fantastic meeting you, and I hope you'll come in for some friendly competition, next time you're in town!

The workers are very courteous. They show you how to throw the axe when it's your first time. A good place for a date . We had a blast.

Had an amazing time! Josey was extremely helpful! Definitely coming back again!!!

Aj was awesome...atmosphere is amazing...great time will return!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”

Are pool tables in arcades still good in this modern age?

Yes, pool tables in arcades remain a fantastic draw in 2025! Games like 8-ball or 9-ball offer tactile, skill-based fun that blends strategy and precision. Modern tables feature smooth felt, responsive cues, and vibrant designs, enhancing the classic experience. Arcades foster a social vibe with casual matches or competitive tournaments, appealing to all skill levels. Unlike digital games, pool’s physicality—lining up shots, feeling the cue’s weight—keeps it timeless.
