Chops + Hops | Axe Throwing Lodge

Overview

Chops + Hops is an axe-throwing lodge and bar tucked inside the Sistrunk Marketplace on NW 6th Street, blending a casual taproom atmosphere with supervised throwing lanes. The concept is simple: book a session, grab a cocktail, and hurl hatchets at wooden targets while a dedicated “axepert” coaches your form and keeps score. Groups dominate the floor on weekends, cycling through rounds of throws between sips of espresso martinis, craft beers, and inventive house cocktails. The bar itself is fully stocked with beer, wine, hard liquor, and a rotating happy-hour menu, and the staff behind it is consistently praised for speed and creativity – mocktails included. There is no kitchen on-site, but the surrounding Sistrunk Marketplace food hall fills the gap; scan a QR code at your table to order from multiple vendors without leaving your lane. The vibe leans trendy-casual with upbeat music, board games like Jenga and Connect Four scattered around the lounge area, and live music or performances on select nights. Big screens carry sports if you would rather watch than throw. Outdoor seating is available for anyone who just wants drinks and fresh air, and the space is dog friendly. Reservations are strongly recommended for weekends since each throwing cage requires a staff instructor, and walk-ins may end up waiting at the bar. Parking is on-site but costs ten dollars, which catches some visitors off guard. Hours skew toward a weekend operation – doors open Thursday through Sunday only, staying open until 2 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. With a 4.8-star Google rating across more than 800 reviews, Chops + Hops has carved out a niche as one of the more distinctive group outings in the Flagler Village and Progresso corridor.
