Axe and Ale House

The axe-throwing was Great, nice customer service, if you plan to have a family gather or group activities It’s a great place for groups, and the staff made sure we knew all the safety and the best way to throw the Axes. it’s good place for food, drinks, and fun. I will definitely go back if I am in town. Also, they have Country band that play sometimes on the week, I don't knoww their specific schedule.

This was our first visit to Axe and Ale. We visited for the Valentine's special. FOOD The food was awesome. I had the white pizza made with the smoked chicken and it was very good. I was drinking vodka lemonade with fresh strawberries. They were very good, not weak and watered down but not overwhelming in vodka either. I appreciate the simple 1 page menu, and I forgot to snap a picture if it. SERVICE I can't express how welcoming, helpful and friendly every single employee there was. We didn't seem to have a specific server with the open seating option but that didn't put any kinks in service. Everyone stopped by making sure we had everything we needed. I wish I had caught the guy's names. There were 3 in particular that simply went above and beyond. Amazing service. ATMOSPHERE This has a very relaxing atmosphere. Everyone was so chill. There was of course axe throwing. (I found out axe throwing can even be enjoyed by children ages 10 and up). The necessary waiver was very quick and easy with the scan of a QR code and completed in about 1 min. I was very bad at the axe throwing, but it was still a lot fun! Ask them for tips! They will try to help you not suck as bad as i did at it There is a free arcade game by the bar with PacMan and Donkey Kong etc. There are several other paid arcade games (only negative I have to say is the change machine was out of order) There was a lounge area with swings and a larger Jenga type game. There were a couple room options for venues - which i already plan on booking for a future event!. The atmosphere is my favorite part about this place, everything just felt very casual and relaxing. CLEANLINESS This place was clean. The bar was not sticky and they stayed on top of bussing quickly. There was no dust build up on the decor or ceiling vents. Visiting the restroom, it was clean and fully stocked. I appreciated the full size mirror in the women's bathroom for a quick appearance check. DECOR There was so much to look at. There was nothing organized or aestheticly beautiful to look at, but gave us lots of conversations starters. Like, the head wearing a viking helmet and heart sunglasses. It had an eclectic feel that made the place more interesting... and I appreciate it seemed clean and not dusty! The space was thoughtfully painted, the ceilings were dark with the same color carried behind the bar, then lighter walls on the other side to lighten the space. The mural on the outside of the building is beautiful. Overall it was a great experience and is one of our new favorite spots to visit in Bristol.

Super fun place, very family friendly and full of stuff to do! Cheddar rounds are to die for, the staff is wonderfully polite and kind, food and drinks are solid. Axes are sharp, arcade games are 1, and the decor is fun! Try it.

Lots of fun, good bar food, friendly staff! A wide variety of events and things to do every time we come. Great addition to Downtown Bristol choices!

Seriously good fun and unexpectedly great food. I really didn't expect such good food from such an unassuming place. I had the Cuban sandwich with sweet potato fries and it is one of the best versions I have ever had. Wonderful selection of different games for the axe throwing to keep you engaged and entertained. Very friendly and helpful staff!

Axe and Ale is our new place! I wish I could give them 10 stars! The staff, the food, the entire vibe is fabulous! We just went to Trivia night on Thursday and had a blast! If you want to have a large time with great food and some of the best people then this is the place for you! We will save ya a seat!

This is the best bar I've ever been to. They've got an arcade. They've got ax throwing. They've got a stage, that when I was there, had a stand-up comedian. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is comfortable and casual. The food is shockingly delicious! I can't tell you how absolutely blown away I was at how truly delicious the food was. The staff was quick, friendly and made mine and my friends time there truly enjoyable. The prices are very reasonable. I have no complaints about the prices. If you're looking for a good place to just kick back, relax, blow off some steam and have a good laugh and watch a good show. I highly recommend Axe and Ale House.

On a random road trip from NY and decided to stop in Bristol, VA for dinner. Found the Axe and Ale House and will tell you the food was amazing. Cuban sandwich, the smoked pork was phenomenal and I had the chicken nachos, with smoked and juicy chicken. The service was awesome and our bartender Dominick was attentive, knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure to chat with. Even the local regulars were a delight, place felt like home. Highly recommend! (Picture of nachos is after I ate about half, serving size was plentiful and flavor delicious!)
