9 Best Dive Bars in Asheville

“Good place to hear original music. Books bands across the country not just local. Decent sound system that is well mixed. Hip owners and staff.“

“My friends and I stopped in while we were on a weekend trip in Asheville. We didn’t know what to expect and were surprised by the vibe there, but we had a great time! The owner, Imran(sp?), took us under his wing, gave us a quick tour, and talked with us for a bit. We had a great time!“

Vegetarian options: The grilled cheese veggie jumble is to die for

Dietary restrictions: There's gluten in everything

Kid-friendliness: Aside from the pitbulls mauling toddlers it's totally kid friendly“

“Nice place for a night out!“

“They state that the bar and grill is, "cozy and quirky".... and it was. Traveling through Asheville NC, we met friends and the ladies decided to do a lunch and some thrift shopping. We found a place in West Asheville that was really fun. DeSoto Lounge was small, eclectic, and had a reasonably priced brunch menu. Dogs are allowed at the outside seating area. We split a club sandwich with a salad, chips. The food was fine, it was the music and atmosphere which was the step back into the '70's. The entire area was filled with vintage clothing stores, crystal/rock shops and other reto pubs. Quite an ecclect experience.“
