We reserve the right to adjust reservation times due to scheduling conflicts on the day. Any adjusted time will be considered your party’s start time, not the original time.

Late and No-Show Parties

PLEASE CALL 615-302-8102 IF YOU KNOW YOUR PARTY IS GOING TO BE LATE. WE WILL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO WORK WITH YOU.
Normal Operating Hours Reservations – Your timer starts at the time you reserved online. If your party shows up later than the reserved time, the full price for the reserved time will be paid. We cannot pro-rate the time, nor can we push another party back due to lateness on your part.
If your party arrives more than 15 minutes after the reserved time, your party will be considered a “no-show.” Therefore, the deposit will not be refunded or used for future reservations, and the reservation will be terminated.
Please be courteous to our staff and arrive early to your session with your completed waiver and wearing closed-toed shoes to enjoy your full hour of throwing.
Private Party Reservations – Your timer starts at the time you reserved online. If your party shows up later than the reserved time, the full price for the reserved time will be paid. We cannot pro-rate the time.

Reduction or Addition of Headcount

Normal Operating Hours Reservations – Party headcount adjustments to a lesser amount will change the overall balance owed. If a full balance deposit was put down, all refunds will be via Faxon’s Hatchet House Gift Cards.
If a party has additions to the original reservation and it does not require an additional lane, no changes are necessary to the reservation. However, any additional axe throwers will be charged the standard per-person rate on the day of your party. If an additional lane or lanes are necessary, we will work with you to the best of our ability to make lanes available. (A minimum per lane is 2 axe throwers, and a maximum per lane is 5 axe throwers.)
Private Party Reservations – All reservations start at a minimum flat rate and increase according to the number of axe throwers. This flat rate will be the deposit paid 2 weeks in advance of the date and time of the reservation. The remainder of the total balance will be paid at the end of the reservation.

Final Check-ins

The last check-in for axe throwing is 1 hour before closing time. No exceptions. If your party is late, it is at our discretion to allow you to play for a prorated time.
The last call at the Beer Bar will be 15 minutes prior to closing. It is at our discretion to keep the bar open later.

Discounts

Other than the deposit for axe throwing, all discounts will be applied at the time of check-in with proof of identification (ID). All sales are final at payment.

Acts of God or Weather

Regardless of party size, we do not accept cancellations resulting from or related to weather or Acts of God. We will, however, accept the deposit for a rescheduled date and time when our venue can be reopened.
