From Texas Tech to Timber Targets: Why Students Love GrabAxxes
College life at Texas Tech has it all — football games, tailgates, endless Whataburger runs — but when it’s time to blow off some steam and do something different, students are skipping the usual bar scene and heading to GrabAxxes, Lubbock’s favorite axe-throwing spot.
Here’s why Texas Tech students are making GrabAxxes their go-to hangout — and why you probably should too.
Axe Throwing is the Ultimate Study Break
Let’s face it: exams, group projects, and Canvas notifications will wear you down. But few things reset your brain like burying an axe into a wooden target.
It’s the perfect way to:
Decompress after a long week
Destress during finals
Blow off steam after that one brutal 8 a.m. class
And yeah — hitting a bullseye feels better than getting an A on a pop quiz. (We said what we said.)
Cold Drinks Good Vibes College Night Gold
What’s better than throwing axes with your friends? Throwing axes with a drink in hand.
GrabAxxes has:
A rotating beer selection
Chill vibes
No-pressure environment
Just the right amount of chaos
It’s the perfect mix of lowkey and high energy — exactly what you want on a Thursday or Friday night when you’re over the bar crowds.
Student Discounts That Don’t Break the Bank
We get it — college budgets are real. That’s why we hook up students with affordable throwing sessions and regular discount nights.
Just show your Tech ID and let the axes (and the savings) fly.
Pro tip: Follow @GrabAxxes on Instagram for pop-up deals and happy hour specials.
Group Nights Date Nights and Everything In Between
GrabAxxes is made for:
Roommate bonding nights
Frat/sorority socials
First (or third) dates
Birthday bashes
Random "we survived the semester" parties
Whether you're rolling deep with your squad or flying solo, it’s one of the easiest places in Lubbock to meet people, make memories, and maybe win a friendly competition.
It’s the Most Unique Thing to Do in Lubbock
Lubbock has a lot to offer — but let’s be honest, how many times can you hit the same 3 bars or watch the same Netflix shows on repeat?
GrabAxxes gives you a completely different kind of night out. One you’ll actually want to post about. One that makes your out-of-town friends jealous. One that ends with someone yelling “ONE MORE THROW!” like it’s karaoke night.
You Don’t Have to Be Good You Just Have to Show Up
Never thrown an axe before? Doesn’t matter. Our staff will coach you up in minutes, and you’ll be sticking bullseyes like a pro before you finish your first beer.
No pressure. No judgment. Just a good time.
Final Word Axe Like a Raider
Whether you’re a freshman still learning campus or a senior counting down to graduation, GrabAxxes is the off-campus experience every Texas Tech student needs.
So grab your friends, your date, or your roommate who never leaves the dorm — and come throw like a Red Raider.
