TJ's Hatchet Hangout is a full-service bar and entertainment venue located at 1242 Southwest Pine Island Road, combining axe throwing with alcoholic beverages in an organized setting. Opened in 2019 by co-owners Tasha Williams and Jessi Lee, it was the first axe-throwing facility in Southwest Florida. The venue operates structured throwing sessions with trained staff supervising all participants.
Safety briefings are mandatory for all participants, covering rules and proper throwing technique. The facility features a full bar alongside the throwing lanes, and tournaments and group bookings are accommodated. A 48-inch target with scoring rings, a 12-foot throwing distance, and standardized scoring (10 axes per round) create a predictable, repeatable activity. The venue welcomes riders and groups seeking recreation beyond standard nightlife.
