I went for a trivia night. They have bar food and the prices are reasonable. Do yourself a favor and get a pretzel you won't be disappointed.

Axes & Irons in Indian Lake, NY is a fun, laid-back spot where you can throw axes, enjoy a golf simulator, and grab a bite or drink. The owners are extremely friendly and continuously checked in on us throughout the night, the vibe is welcoming, and it's perfect for a night out with friends or a casual group hang. They also had live music which is an added bonus!

Such an awesome place! The owners have done an incredible amount of work, and it certainly shows. Great for families, friends, groups...they have something for everyone! This business brings something special to the small town of Indian Lake, and it's great to have an activity to do when the weather isn't so great, we are looking for evening activities, or we just want something different to do.

I went today for my 1st time. They did not have anything gluten free, and ran out of the grilled chicken. The owner and his wife were amazing as they accommodated my dietary issues making me some nachos with pulled pork. I highly recommend you stop in and give them a try.

Awesome place, had an amazing birthday there! Throwing axes was a blast. The service was top notch. Great people and a fun time. Cozy bar, I didn't use the simulator but others in our group did and gave it great reviews! Will definitely be back, so much fun!

Axes & Irons is an awesome atmosphere! It has a rustic Adirondack feel that represents Indian Lake beautifully. The golf simulators were some of the best I’ve played on and had accurate club yardages and were very simple to use. The food was delicious! Will be coming back again!
