Axe Throwing in Florida: 26 Venues From Pensacola to the Keys (2026 Guide)

Florida has more axe throwing venues than any state outside New York. Twenty-six of them, scattered from the Panhandle to Palm Beach, with the heaviest concentration in the Orlando-Tampa-Miami triangle. The state's year-round tourism, bachelor party economy, and sheer population make it a natural fit for the sport -- and the venue diversity reflects that. You will find full-service axe bars with cocktail menus, family-friendly entertainment centers, mobile operations that set up at beach events, and everything in between.

Here is the full breakdown by region.

Orlando and Central Florida

Orlando is Florida's axe throwing capital. Five venues in the metro area serve both tourists and locals, and competition for your business is fierce -- which means the quality is high.

Axvengers Axe Throwing Bar -- Orlando carries a perfect 5.0-star rating and leans into the social bar concept. The name gives away the vibe: playful, high-energy, and designed for groups who want to throw and drink without taking themselves too seriously. A strong pick for bachelor and bachelorette parties visiting Orlando.

Epic Axe Throwing -- Orlando at 4.9 stars is one of the original axe throwing venues in Central Florida. Located near International Drive, Epic benefits from the tourist corridor traffic but has built a solid local following too. The coaching is consistently praised in reviews, making it a reliable choice for first-timers who want to learn proper form. Check out our Orlando guide for more on the I-Drive scene.

Bananas' Axe Cabana -- Orlando at 4.9 stars offers a more tropical, Florida-specific take on the axe throwing experience. The name is not just marketing -- the venue leans into the cabana aesthetic with a relaxed, vacation-friendly vibe.

The Brass Axe -- Orlando at 4.9 stars operates inside Dezerland Park, a massive entertainment complex. If your group wants to combine axe throwing with go-karts, bumper cars, trampolines, and arcade games, The Brass Axe lets you do all of it without leaving one building. Good for large groups with varied interests.

Rockstar Mobile Axe Throwing -- Orlando is a 5.0-star mobile operation. For events at vacation rentals, Airbnbs, or hotel conference centers, Rockstar brings the axes to you. The mobile model works especially well in Orlando, where groups often rent houses rather than book hotels. See our mobile axe throwing guide for logistics.

The Axe Trap -- Winter Park at 4.8 stars occupies a converted 1920s Art Deco warehouse in Winter Park, one of Orlando's most upscale suburbs. The high-ceilinged industrial space with exposed trusses creates an atmosphere that most axe throwing venues cannot match. The Axe Trap also runs a cocktail lounge, which makes it the best date night axe venue in Central Florida.

Tampa Bay and the Gulf Coast

Tampa Bay's scene stretches from Tampa proper through St. Petersburg and out to Clearwater, giving the region three-venue coverage.

Axe Throwing Tampa at 4.9 stars is the dedicated axe venue in Tampa proper. Straightforward operation focused on the throwing experience. Read our full Tampa guide for details on the local scene.

Stumpy's Hatchet House -- Tampa at 4.9 stars brings the national Stumpy's franchise to the Tampa market. If you have thrown at a Stumpy's elsewhere, the Tampa location delivers the same model: coached sessions, competitive games, and a social atmosphere.

Hatchet Hangout -- St. Petersburg at 4.8 stars serves the St. Pete side of the bay. For anyone living on the Pinellas County beaches or downtown St. Pete, Hatchet Hangout eliminates the bridge-crossing drive to Tampa venues.

Hatchet Hangout -- Clearwater at 4.9 stars extends the brand further into the beach communities. Clearwater Beach draws millions of tourists annually, and Hatchet Hangout captures the "rainy day at the beach" crowd -- when the weather pushes people indoors, axe throwing is a solid Plan B.

Southern Axe House -- Spring Hill at 4.8 stars sits north of Tampa in Hernando County. Spring Hill is far enough from Tampa that residents appreciate having a local option rather than driving an hour south. A quieter, more community-oriented venue.

Axe Hole NPR -- New Port Richey carries a perfect 5.0-star rating in Pasco County, north of Tampa. Another venue that fills a geographic gap -- New Port Richey residents no longer need to drive to Tampa for their axe fix.

South Florida -- Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Palm Beach

South Florida's scene is built for the nightlife and entertainment culture that defines the region.

Axe Habits -- Miami at 4.9 stars is the only dedicated axe throwing venue in Miami proper. Our Miami guide covers the full picture, but the short version is: Axe Habits has built a strong reputation in a city where entertainment competition is brutal. The fact that they maintain a 4.9 rating in Miami says something.

Extreme Axe Throwing -- Hollywood at 4.9 stars sits between Miami and Fort Lauderdale and has grown into one of South Florida's anchor venues. Extreme Axe has been featured in national axe throwing coverage and is recognized as one of the top venues in the country.

The Axe Hole House -- Davie at 4.9 stars combines axe throwing with splatter paint rooms. The Davie location in Broward County serves the western suburbs of Fort Lauderdale. The dual-activity model works well for groups where some people want to throw and others prefer launching paint at canvases.

Tomahawk Axe Throwing Co -- Pembroke Pines at 4.9 stars adds another Broward County option. Pembroke Pines is a large suburban city between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, and Tomahawk serves the residential population that does not want to deal with Hollywood or Miami Beach traffic.

Game of Axes -- Boca Raton at 4.9 stars combines axe throwing with knife throwing at a bar venue. Boca is Palm Beach County's entertainment hub, and Game of Axes brings a sharper edge to the area's dining-and-drinks scene. They also run a location in Boynton Beach (also 4.9 stars) for northern Palm Beach County.

Jacksonville and Northeast Florida

Class Axe Throwing -- Jacksonville at 4.9 stars is one of two venues serving Florida's largest city by area. Class Axe is part of a multi-city franchise known for consistent quality and strong coaching. See our Jacksonville guide for more.

Axe Champs -- Jacksonville carries a perfect 5.0-star rating and adds a competitive element to Jax's axe scene. The dual-venue market means Jacksonville throwers can compare and choose -- or visit both.

Live by the Axe -- Fleming Island at 5.0 stars serves the Clay County suburbs south of Jacksonville. Fleming Island is a planned community with limited entertainment options, so a five-star axe throwing venue fills a real gap.

The Treasure Coast and Space Coast

Jupiter Bullseyes and Birdies (formerly Game of Axes Jupiter) at 4.9 stars serves northern Palm Beach County and Martin County. The rebranding reflects an expanded activity menu beyond just axes.

Madd Hatcher's Axe Throwing Lounge -- Stuart at 4.9 stars is Martin County's dedicated axe venue. Stuart sits between West Palm Beach and Fort Pierce on the Treasure Coast -- a stretch of Florida with fewer entertainment options than the I-4 corridor.

Axe-men Mobile Axe Throwing -- Port St. Lucie is a 5.0-star mobile operation serving the Treasure Coast. Port St. Lucie has grown rapidly but its entertainment infrastructure has not kept pace, making mobile axe throwing a popular option for community events and private parties.

The Gulf Coast and Panhandle

Sarasota Axe Throwing Club -- Sarasota at 4.7 stars serves the cultural coast south of Tampa. Sarasota's older, arts-oriented population might seem like an unlikely axe throwing market, but the venue has found its niche with tourists and younger residents.

Axe Throwing PCB -- Panama City Beach at 4.9 stars is the Panhandle's premier venue. PCB is spring break and summer vacation central, and the venue capitalizes on the tourist traffic -- especially the "what do we do when it rains?" crowd. If you are visiting the Panhandle, this is your spot.

How Florida Compares

Florida's 4.9 average rating across 26 venues is exceptional. The year-round warm weather eliminates the seasonal slumps that affect northern venues, and the tourism economy provides a constant stream of first-timers looking for group activities.

Picking the Right Florida Venue

For families: The Brass Axe at Dezerland Park (combo activities) or Hatchet Hangout Clearwater. Check our kids guide for age requirements.

For a rainy beach day: Hatchet Hangout Clearwater, Axe Throwing PCB, or Sarasota Axe Throwing Club. All near beach areas, all indoor.

Before You Go

Book ahead: Florida venues get slammed during tourist season (December-April) and spring break. Weekend evenings sell out at popular venues. Use online booking whenever possible.

What to wear: Closed-toe shoes are mandatory everywhere. Florida casual is fine -- shorts and a t-shirt work. Just skip the flip-flops. Full guide: what to wear axe throwing.

Humidity note: Florida's indoor venues are air-conditioned, but your hands may be sweaty from the heat outside. Most venues provide grip chalk or gloves if needed. Arrive a few minutes early to cool down before your session.

Alcohol: Most Florida venues with bars follow standard service rules -- no throwing while visibly intoxicated. Several venues are BYOB. A few are family-oriented and dry.
