Find us at 344 Floyd Alley — down the alley across from AutoZone Park, next to Los Comales, and walking distance from Beale Street. Wednesdays bring team building and corporate events, Thursdays are date nights and smaller outings, and Sundays are full family day. We share a wall with Los Comales, an authentic Mexican restaurant where most people end the night, and the view of Redbird Stadium and the Hernando de Soto Bridge from here is peak scenery after a fun night. Active veterans work here, making this a veteran-sponsoring recreation center. Last Valentine's Day — out of love or heartbreak, nobody's sure — someone managed to get the dull handle stuck in the board. And we've had our share of cocky competitors who leave with their head down after a brutal loss. Over 700 Google reviews and counting. Free parking in three locations surrounding the building, and we host staff and customer competitions weekly.

  • Team Building

    Team building that doesn't feel like team building.

  • Graduation Parties

    Graduation parties — high school, college, trade school, anything worth celebrating. Bring the family, the friends, the awkward uncle who hasn't picked up an axe since the 90s. We'll teach the basics, hand out prizes, and make sure the grad's Memphis photos look like they had a real night out, not another backyard barbecue.

  • Bachelor / Bachelorette Parties

    Bachelor and bachelorette parties at Craft Axe Throwing Memphis — for the crew that's done with the wine bar circuit. Cold craft beer, sharp axes, plenty of trash talk, and a coach who'll teach the bridal party how to actually stick the bullseye.

Reserved lanes, a full bar for the adults, and a coach to make sure everyone throws safely. Ages 10+ welcome with a parent on site.

  • Fundraisers

    Fundraisers, charity tournaments, and benefit events. We've hosted school fundraisers, non-profit benefits, and silent auctions in Memphis — bring your cause, we'll bring the lanes, the staff, and the registration setup. Tournament brackets are a hit for raffles and pledge drives.
