- Andrew T2 contributionsAxe ThrowingI had an amazing experience at Whistle Punks Axe Throwing in Bristol, and it was made even better thanks to Esra, our fantastic host! From the moment we walked in, Esra's enthusiasm and expertise set the tone for a fun adventure. Overall, thanks to Esra and Whistle Punks, my visit to axe throwing was a memorable and exhilarating one. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a unique and thrilling activity, especially with Esra as your guide!Thanks for the kind words and for recommending us.

- Thomas HSwindon, United Kingdom7 contributionsAxe throwing meets comedy! Absolutely fantastic!Came here for a work social, left here like I had just been to an Indie comedy festival... except with comedian teaches us how to throw axes. Yana was our instructor, host, therapist, motivator, safety person, comedian. The list goes on. I have been axe throwing before and instructors can really make your experience. Yana added to it in abundance, no one left unhappy. All of us had a fantastic time and I cannot wait to come back again! Yana, I know you will read this. Thanks for a great laugh, you really made our night! From the Silence, Hawk, The Yarrppp, Your Choice and Panther!To the Silence, Hawk, The Yarrppp, Your Choice and Panther!

- Tamas S1 contributionGreat fun throwing some axes!We went to Whistle Punks for my birthday treat: bottomless brunch with axe throwing thrown in :). We had fun and professional tuition and it was a good laugh to try to compete with others. They were a sociable bunch and we all came away equipped better for the zombie apocalypse. The pizzas were great and as we were in a car we drank very responsibly... Maybe it would be an idea to offer at least one proper soft drink in the bottomless brunch menu?Thanks for the 5* rating and for recommending us! Glad to hear you spent your birthday with us. Appreciate all your feedback, will pass it on to the team.

- Hope G1 contributionAmazing Afternoon Axe Throwing!Went to Whistle Punks as a date day after being quite nervous initially! Theo was an amazing instructor which immediately put me at ease. He was engaging and funny bringing a group of strangers together really nicely. Only criticism was we had so much fun the 70 minutes went way too quickly! Will definitely come back again and bring our friends.Thanks for the great review and feedback will pass this on to the team. We're glad you had so much fun on your session with Theo.

- AirfixchickenMagor, United Kingdom42 contributionsEmbrace your inner Viking!The choice of ‘different’ experiences now available to fill our time is frankly staggering these days, so to stand out in the crowd you have to be good. “Throwing axes”, our host told us, “ is a skill that is frankly useless in pretty much all aspects of modern life”. THAT, in a nutshell, is what makes this whole session utterly enjoyable. The process of embracing your most tribal instincts to chuck sharp objects around, was only part of the evening. The key part of the entertainment comes from the outstanding hosts. In our case, this came down to the utterly brilliant Theo and the newly trained Kat. Whistle Punks is now high on the list of go to entertainment in Bristol. Superb fun!Thanks for the great review! We really appreciate your kind words and it's awesome to hear you had such fun on our lanes with Kat! We hope to see you back again soon to embrace your inner Viking again.Written November 15, 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited November 2023Traveled with friendsWritten November 12, 2023

The axe throwing was great and Jack our host was very entertaining. However we paid for the bottomless brunch and two of the drink choices were prosecco and aperol spritz. We had one of these each and then when we went to get our second drink we were told ‘bad luck there is no more Prosecco’ there was no alternative offered or even an apology. The pizza was the frozen type you can get at any supermarket and we got one smallish size pizza each. Bearing in mind we had paid £40 per person and it was a bank holiday so it was likely to be busy this was really disappointing. I would recommend the axe throwing but steer clear of the bottomless as it really wasn’t value for money…

If you want to realise your dream of throwing axes at things then look no further! This is a really cool venue and many good times to be had.
The staff are the friendliest I've ever met and provide such a great feeling. I didn't want the session to end. We were instructed by Theo who bought such energy and boost to the session. It really made the group get involved (and Viking warcry-ing) and even whiffing a throw he still made it a fun time. All of them joined in!
I cannot recommend this place enough and I will definitely be going again.

Had a brilliant afternoon doing something completely out of our 'comfort zone'
Fabulous experience and lots of fun. Jake our instructor had the patience of a Saint, which mark my word was necessary. We laughed so much but for 8 very competitive life long friends we unsurprisingly took the task in hand very seriously.
Can't recommend this event enough. BRILLIANT 😂🤣😂

Greeted at the door by a rough voice gate keeper. Scanning us in to see if we are hot enough. 36.6•C across the board.
Walking into a hypnotic dark exciting atmosphere. Cheering, yelling, bangs and awws throughout the room, disconnected from the outside world.
Our teacher, leader, our North Star of Axe throwing was Gimlis more attractive, taller younger sibling, Jay. A character you all want to have teaching you to becoming the bad ass axe wielding Orc destroyer. 11/10.
Give him a pay rise!
Everyone needs to ride their noble steeds down to Whistle Punk and experience this euphoric experience. Escape from this screwed up world for a while and you will enjoy every second.
Bond with who ever you go with. Verbally abuse them in a competitive but loving way.
Just wish we could of been there longer. Time flew by.
100% coming back. And hopefully winning next time around !

Had a fantastic time! 10/10 would come again and recommend to anyone! Staff was very friendly and talkative, THEO our MASTER THROWER was very uplifting, funny and encouraging. Received and dealt comical banter very well all while retaining a professional position and image. Awesome time and awesome people!

Definitely the best place to open in Bristol recently. The package including pizza/drinks work out as really good value (and they have good gluten-free/vegan options). The staff are all SO NICE and Mikey was the finest (and most supportive) axe throwin instructor in the land. 100% recommend it!

I organised a works social here as it was something different and I enjoyed when I went before. The booking process online was great and communication via email when I need to make changes was brilliant.
On the day we had Theo, Kit & Charlie as our instructors and they were brilliant. These guys made the experience 100X better. The entertainment the brought to our experience was second to none.
One person from
Our group was running a little late so missed the safety briefing but they were happy to accommodate this and brief in individually when he arrived.
As this was a works event there was of course a little competition and I had organised prizes for the top 3 spots. The team at Bristol adjusted the experience slight by allowing a third place play off and a final to single out the top 3.
I can’t thank them enough for their efforts and enthusiasm to give us the best time possible.
I will be returning in the near future.
Thank you to all at Whistle Punks

Fun times and an enjoyable change of pace in covid times. Open lane was a fun choice with another group. Teddy our Master Axe Thrower Extraordinaire was full of tips, fun and energy.

Celebrated a Birthday at Whistle Punks Bristol and had a blast! Everyone made us feel really welcome and Kit out host was great at getting us into the spirit. He was right his axe throwing tuition was better than his throwing! Would definitely recommend for a fun activity right in the centre of Bristol. The selection of drinks was really great too. Thanks Kit for making sure we didn't kill ourselves!

Booked this as part of a weekend away for my brothers 30th Birthday. Most were unsure on the idea especially the girls in our group, however everybody loved it! We had Kit as our instructor and he was great, he created a really good fun environment which only added to how good the session was! The venue is cool and sell a good selection of drinks and also do pizzas if you wanted to eat although we didn't try those. The staff that work there are all great too, really friendly and helpful! If you are looking for something fun to do that's a little different then I can not recommend Whistle punks enough! You will definitely want to go back and do it again.
