SJ AxeVentures — San Jose, CA

55–60 guests · San Jose, CA · $2,100 per 75-minute private buyout · outside catering allowed

SJ AxeVentures is an axe-throwing venue on Park Avenue in San Jose that rents its whole floor as a private buyout for 55 to 60 guests, at a flat $2,100 for a 75-minute session that includes exclusive access to the facility and its coaches. What makes it usable as an event space rather than just an activity is the combination of that all-in flat rate with an open outside-catering policy — a corporate team can run the activity and a catered dinner in the same booking, on one venue line. The floor is laid out as multiple throwing lanes holding five throwers each, which is what sets the comfortable ceiling: 60 is the venue’s stated maximum for a comfortable session, and it will discuss going to 70 on the understanding that guests then wait longer between turns.

Space Features

• Full-facility private buyout — the booking gives exclusive use of the venue and its coaching staff for the session; the space is not shared with walk-in customers during a buyout.
• Multiple throwing lanes, five throwers per lane. Lane count is what governs how quickly a group cycles through, rather than floor area.
• Standard private rental capacity is 55 guests, and the venue will accommodate 60. It states 60 is the maximum it can hold comfortably, and will discuss up to 70 with longer waits per lane.
• Open floor space alongside the lanes for food service, though the venue is candid that at 60–70 guests it is a tight squeeze if a caterer intends to prepare food on site rather than arrive with it ready.

Pricing & Inclusions

• $2,100 flat for a 75-minute private buyout. This is the full private-event rate, not a per-person charge and not a deposit — it covers exclusive access to the facility and the venue’s coaches for the session.
• Food and beverage are not included and are not sold by the venue for private events — catering is brought in separately by the client.

Sized at 55–60 guests for a full buyout, the venue fits a corporate team offsite or a private group outing rather than a large reception.

Catering & House Rules

• Outside catering is allowed. The venue confirms clients are welcome to bring in a caterer for dinner alongside the activity.
• No alcohol of any kind is permitted inside the facility. This is stated as an absolute house rule, not a licensing question to be negotiated — worth planning around for an evening corporate event.
• Layout is discussable. The venue offers to work through the floor plan so food service and the throwing lanes both have room, and invites clients to visit the space in person before committing.

Access & Logistics

• Located at 850 Park Ave, San Jose, CA 95126.
• Sessions run on set start times through the day — on a weekday, buyout slots begin at 12:00pm, 1:30pm, 3:00pm, 4:30pm and 7:30pm.
• Open seven days a week. Doors open at 12:00pm Monday through Friday and 10:30am Saturday and Sunday. Closing is 10:15pm Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and 8:45pm Tuesday and Wednesday.
• Groups over 15 are booked by hand. The venue’s online booking system caps at 15 people, so a private event of this size is arranged directly with the events team rather than through the website.

Best For

• Corporate team-building evenings
• Company offsites and department outings
• Private group parties
• Activity-plus-dinner events with a brought-in caterer
• Daytime group sessions
