Smashin' Good Time 1251 Baring Boulevard, Sparks, NV 89434

"Our experience tonight (Friday night) was less than ideal. We walked in as a group of 10 around 7:30pm and to our surprise, only one other couple was already axe throwing. We all ordered soft drinks, some pretzels, chicken tenders and a pizza. It took nearly half an hour or so for the pizza to come out and when it did, it was wrong. The bartender (who took our orders) took it and threw it away. It took about another 30 minutes to get the right one. While still waiting for the rest of our food, we had to ask the second employee (who we only saw briefly once) to give us the safety presentation so at least we could throw while waiting. There were 8 of us throwing and no one else there so we assumed we could take 4 boards. The bartender (who was apparently management according to the other employee) told us we could only use 2. We’re inexperienced and tried to play games to 21 but it was taking too long and others weren’t going to get a turn within the one hour we booked. Essentially, we all got to throw the axe about 10 times for $25. Why wouldn’t we be able to use the EMPTY targets next to us? After our hour was up, our food STILL wasn’t done. We had been waiting for nearly an hour and a half for frozen chicken tenders and fries. We didn’t even receive all our food before asking for refunds because it was going to be another 20-30 minutes he said to get the rest of our order. Keep in mind, WE WERE THE ONLY GROUP THERE. I have no idea what happened. We weren’t rude and not trying to be mean with this review but just like WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED lol. Needless to say, we will not be going back."

"Went there for my son’s bday and had a great time! Plenty of stuff to smash in the Smash Room and axes to toss in the lanes. Food, drinks, and full bar available. Sports on the TVs. We had a blast and after annihilating everything in the smash room in 30 minutes we were tired. Axes for an hour and I was pooped after 30 minutes. The staff is great; very informative and interested in customers. Very personable. Definitely recommend and well back again!"

"We had a great time learning how to throw axes at Smashing Good Time! They had expert instruction with helpful tips. We had a small company function here, everyone loved it. I never thought beer and Axe throwing would be a good combo, but it is with safety measures and rules in place. If you haven't tried Axe throwing, I highly recommend it. Good was good, we got jalapeno poppers and chicken tenders, good bar food."
