15 Best Pubs in Asheville

“I'm not soccer obsessed (yet) but love the atmosphere and energy of this pub. Friendly staff. Good food and drinks. Penny Cup Coffee too!“

“December 30th, 2025: We had the most nice experience, and it was all thanks to our server! A group of 7 of us went out for very late lunch lunch, but it became dinner, and experience is above, and beyond to make sure our night was perfect. The staff was so kind, respectful, and attentive, checking on us frequently and making sure we had everything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious, the drinks were amazing, and the atmosphere was fantastic—but what truly made the evening unforgettable was staff. The place brought such positive energy and made our entire group feel so well cared for. If I could rate 4+ stars, I would. We had 2 Cuban Sandwiches, comes with chips, we also shared a Mac&Cheese between my wife, and me; Our two daughters shared 1 pot roast, a brisket with mac&cheese; our grand son had the ribeye steak, my son in law had a steak sandwich, my granddaughter had chicken tenders with french fries! We shared a dessert, and got one to go! In general—it made our late lunch truly unforgettable. The Brackett - Barrios Families GBB“

“Amazing live bands. Better food“

“So glad we found this place. When we first walked in I was hesitant to stay but so glad we did! Food was sooooo good and drinks were awesome! Highly recommend beer cheese & chips, spicy margarita (wonderful blend of flavor not too spicy) and Mac n cheese with steak, bacon & mushrooms 😋“

“The WALK has always been one of my favorite West Asheville hangouts because their tacos are to die for! My most recent lunch there I had the best service thanks to Emma. I appreciate that the WALK not only has good food but they have good people that provide great service!!!“

“Fantastic food. Some of the best Indian food I’ve had. Staff is attentive. Ate in one time, and have done take out a few times. For lunch I got the tali plate. Portions were huge and all delicious. Wish I could share a picture here.“

“I still think about how good the wings are and I haven't been to Asheville in a while.“

“Had a great time at Botanist & Barrel last week. Stopped in on a Monday afternoon, sat at the bar. My wife enjoyed her wine flight. Lots of craft beer and cider available as well. All their wine is all natural. Bartenders were incredibly friendly“

“Nice place and nice owners“

“Great beer, great staff, great bar!“

“Had a great Turkey Pita and White Ale on the patio with friends. Excellent wooded vibes and great food selection!

I would recommend 1) Something to keep the tables from wobbling. 2) A menu with accurate pricing. My bill was different than the menu suggested.“

“Great beer, great staff, great bar!“

“We've visited the Biltmore Estate several times but dined at Cedric's for the first time today. It was wonderful! Our server, I believe his name was Tom, was very attentive and everything was delicious. We started with pretzel rolls and pickles and then for entrees had the lobster roll and fish and chips and a few kids meals. Truly the best fish ever! Cedric's will definitely be our go-to the next time we are at the Biltmore.“

“I have loved this establishment for over a decade! The servers and owners are amazing. It's a dive bar/locals bar...if you can't handle a dive bar, then don't come. The food is awesome and brunch is where it's at! Thank me later after you put the biscuits and gravy in your mouth!“

“Amanda the bartender was literally one of the best I have encountered during my trip across the u.s.a. the food was also top notch. Amanda was friendly and refreshing. Her personality is infectious Her drink making skills are again one of the best I have experienced she has showmanship and flair. She made me her flaming pot of gold. This i why i am giving 5 stars.
But I watched the owner scream at staff in front of customers...
They won't be able to keep anyone....felt sorry for the people working there“
