Axe Club Dublin is an activity venue for team building, corporate events and company Christmas parties. Groups of 6 to 60 people book the whole venue for their own use. It stands at the end of Gaelic Street in North Wall, Dublin 3, close to Connolly Station.
Seminars and company events
The venue is built around axe throwing and the official site recommends it for dates, friends, team building and corporate events. A session starts with a short safety briefing and coaching. The group then plays a friendly competition with scores on a leaderboard, several rounds for everyone and a final shootout that names an axe champion.
There are two throwing ranges with three targets each, so up to six people throw at the same time. The team organizes the group so that everyone gets many turns, with coaching and competition throughout. The venue does not offer meeting rooms or a plenary hall. It suits the social part of a company day, a team reward or an evening after a seminar elsewhere in the city.
Rooms and capacities
The Dublin venue takes a maximum of 60 people. For groups of 6 to 30 people, the site recommends about 1.5 hours. For groups of 30 to 60, it recommends 2 to 3 hours, depending on whether pizza is added. Groups above 30 people book by email. A booking needs at least 6 people, and the final headcount can be confirmed 5 working days before the event.
Every booking includes exclusive use of the venue, so there are no shared lanes and no other guests during the session. The official site says Christmas sessions generally run from Tuesday to Friday, with limited availability on Mondays and weekends.
Catering
Food and drink are options added to the session. The venue offers wood-fired pizza, served after the competition, with vegetarian and vegan pizza available. Dietary requirements must be sent at least 5 days before the event. The pizza provider cannot guarantee gluten-free pizza, and guests with coeliac disease can bring their own gluten-free food if the rest of the group has chosen pizza.
Unlimited soft drinks, tea and coffee can be added, with coffee from a local roaster. Ice cream and prizes for the best throwers are further options. Christmas parties include non-alcoholic mulled wine and mince pies.
History and setting
Axe Club also runs a second site in Glendalough, County Wicklow, with a riverside sauna and cabin. The official site lists sauna, axe throwing, archery and overnight stays there, with outdoor activities available from April to October and the sauna open all year. Custom events of any length can be requested.
