Jacksonville Axe Throwing Experience & Lounge Games

Summary

Axe Throwing & Social Games in Jacksonville’s Rustic Lounge

Step into Jacksonville’s rustic axe throwing lounge for hands-on fun with friends—learn to throw an axe safely, play giant games like Connect 4, and snack on local favorites between turns. You’ll share laughs (and maybe some friendly competition) in your private pit—a laid-back experience you’ll remember long after the last throw.

What’s the experience like?

We stepped into Stumpy’s in Jacksonville and the first thing I noticed was this woody smell — not sharp, just sort of warm, like old cabins after rain. Our group got ushered over to our own fenced-in pit (which sounds more dramatic than it is), and our guide, Marcus, handed us axes with a grin that said he’d seen plenty of nervous first-timers. He ran through safety stuff quickly but didn’t make it awkward or anything — just enough so we wouldn’t lose any toes. I was honestly surprised how heavy the axe felt at first, but you get used to it after a couple throws.

There’s this weirdly satisfying thunk when you finally land one on the target — I missed a lot before that happened, and my friend cheered way too loudly when I did. Between turns we hung out in the lounge area, which has these big wooden tables and board games scattered around. Someone started up a giant Connect 4 game (I lost immediately), and there was this low hum of people laughing from other pits. The pizza came out hot and greasy, which hit the spot after all that nervous energy. Also: cheese curds are way better than I expected. Marcus kept checking in but never hovered — just enough to feel looked after.

The whole vibe is pretty relaxed — nobody’s rushing you, and you can just hang back with a beer if you want. There were families, couples, even someone celebrating a birthday with what looked like three generations throwing axes together (the grandma had surprisingly good aim). It’s wheelchair accessible too; saw one guy roll right up to the line and everyone cheered when he nailed his shot. We ended up staying longer than planned because no one wanted to leave mid-game — time kind of slips away in there.
