THE VENUE

Colab Public House — Vista’s dedicated lane

Hatchet Hound operates from its Colab Public House location in Vista, the only dedicated axe-throwing venue in town, pairing the activity with a brewery atmosphere where you can order drinks and food (not included with the reservation).

THE FORMAT

One-hour coached sessions with two targets

Each reservation runs for one hour and comes with two targets and an expert coach on hand to guide beginners and sharpen technique, making the hour efficient and instruction-focused.

THE EXTRA

Bring the whole pack — people and pups

The Vista location is explicitly 100% dog friendly, and groups can enjoy the convenience of ordering food and drinks from the brewery while they throw.

What the day feels like

What the hour feels like

The experience is brisk and social: check in at the Colab Public House location, meet your coach, run through a safety briefing, then rotate through throws at the venue’s two targets. The coach provides hands-on guidance throughout the hour while the group practices and competes; food and drink can be ordered separately from the brewery and the location welcomes dogs, keeping energy informal and convivial.
