Lumberjack Alley brings the rustic thrill of axe throwing to Huntsville, Alabama, where it anchors a corner of the larger Stars and Strikes Family Entertainment Center on Old Monrovia Road. The sub-branded venue has carved out a niche for groups, parties, and casual drop-ins looking for something a little more rugged than the typical bowling-and-burgers night out. While axe throwing is the headline attraction, visitors step into a multi-activity entertainment complex with a much wider set of options to fill an evening.
The space blends lumberjack theming — wooden targets, group-style throwing bays, and a high-energy atmosphere — with the polished feel of a modern family entertainment center. It caters to families during afternoon hours and shifts into a more adult-leaning vibe on Friday and Saturday nights, when the lanes stay open past midnight. The result is a hybrid venue that works equally well for a kid’s birthday party or a corporate team-building event.
Located in northwest Huntsville, Lumberjack Alley sits in a part of the city with easy highway access, making it a straightforward stop for both locals and visitors traveling from nearby Madison, Decatur, or elsewhere in the Tennessee Valley. If you’re mapping out a Huntsville gaming night, it pairs naturally with several other retro-friendly spots around town, including At The Pier Arcade, Ronnie Raygun’s Pinball Arcade, and StarLight Pinball Arcade. For VR-focused play, DiVRgence is another local option, and bowlers may also want to look at AMF Pin Palace Lanes.

The Scene
Lumberjack Alley sits inside a much larger Stars and Strikes complex, so the on-site energy leans toward group activity rather than quiet solo play. The axe-throwing bays are the focal point, but the surrounding entertainment center pulls in a steady crowd for bowling, arcade games, laser tag, virtual reality, bumper cars, escape rooms, and karaoke, all listed on the parent venue’s attractions page.
The food and beverage program runs through the parent complex and covers a full menu of appetizers, shareables, wings and tenders, pizza, burgers, kids’ meals, sweets, and limited-time offers. One thing to plan around: no food or drinks are allowed inside the axe-throwing lanes, so schedule snacks between throws rather than during.
The venue runs a packed event calendar that includes kids’ birthday parties, adult bowling parties, holiday parties, reunions, team-building activities, corporate events, fundraisers, sports team parties, and church groups. The signature group package, called the Throw-n-Play Special, is built around a minimum of eight guests and bundles two hours of axe throwing with a $5 game card per person, two pizzas, 24 wings, chips and queso, and two pitchers of soft drinks.
Pricing for individual axe-throwing sessions starts at $20 for a 30-minute slot for parties of two or fewer. Standard group pricing scales from $24.99 (30 minutes, up to four people) up to $59.99 (120 minutes, up to four people), with 60-minute and 90-minute options at $39.99 and $52.99 respectively. The venue explicitly states that intoxicated patrons will not be allowed to throw, so pace the pre-game drinks accordingly.
Games & Machines
The activity list reflects the broader Stars and Strikes menu rather than a stand-alone axe-throwing parlor. Visitors can expect axe throwing lanes with multiple targets, traditional and SPARK bowling, an arcade floor, bumper cars, an escape room, laser tag, a virtual reality setup, the Claw Town USA prize corner, and karaoke nights. Arcade cards are reloadable at the venue and balances can be checked on-site. League play is also available for bowlers who want to commit to a regular schedule.
Visiting
The address is 930 Old Monrovia Rd NW in northwest Huntsville, with phone line +1 678-965-5707 and the axe-throwing details page hosted at starsandstrikes.com. Hours split into early and late sessions on Monday (12pm–10am and 5–10pm), a 5–10pm run Tuesday through Thursday, 5pm to midnight on Friday, and noon to midnight on Saturday and Sunday. The parent site’s posted hours for axe throwing specifically list Monday–Thursday at 5pm–10pm, Friday at 5pm–midnight, Saturday at noon–midnight, and Sunday at noon–10pm, so late-night axe throwers should confirm before showing up on a Sunday.
Age policy: participants must be at least 10 years old, and minors must be accompanied by an adult 21 or older. The age rule and the no-intoxicated-patrons policy both apply specifically to the axe-throwing lanes, so keep that in mind when planning mixed-age group outings. The Kids Bowl Free program is also supported at the parent complex for families looking to stretch a visit across multiple activities.
Party and event booking is available online through the Stars and Strikes site. Bay reservations are accepted for locations in Smyrna TN, Huntsville AL, Loganville GA, Myrtle Beach SC, and Rock Hill SC, and the Throw-n-Play Special requires reservations and a minimum of eight guests.
