“Small and quaint; clean and calm old school place, a house turned into a Tavern. The staff was friendly. We did not eat so cannot rate the food but what food was prepared smelled delicious, we had a soda from a can.
We were able to play pool without interruptions. The pool table is coin operated.“

“Food, service, and atmosphere were all great! Recommend!“

“They must have upped their game a bit because everything was actually pretty good this time. The chips n salsa chips were fresh and crispy and salty like they should be. Burger was good, some new items on the menu and most importantly, they seemed to be staffed somewhat as the entire restaurant was open.“

“Happy hour: 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm M - F
If you love beer or cocktails and you need an early dinner, this is a great happy hour. You can get a huge chicken sandwich that tastes high quality for $9 or a delicious burger for $12. Drinks range from $3 - $10. They have plenty of cocktail and beer options during the happy hour as well. The only thing I wish they did was a red and white house wine with the happy hour menu as well. Other than that this is perfect for people who want a fancy delicious experience without the high price tag.

The happy hour definitely made me want to come back for the full dinner menu! I will 100000% be back.“

“The Low Down in West Asheville is absolutely amazing! It’s tucked just off Haywood next to The Hop you have to go downstairs to get to it, and the space is gorgeous. Everything here feels thoughtfully designed, from the decor to the lighting sconces, bar, booths, and wall art it’s unlike anywhere else. I wish I had taken pictures because it’s truly stunning.

The drinks are hand-crafted and top-notch, with some ingredients made in-house. Even the glassware is beautiful. There’s a fun game I’d never seen before they called it shuffleboard but not like my great grandads shuffle board, it was unique and the people playing it had a good time, and it adds to the vibe.

I went alone and sat at the bar, and the bartender was friendly, attentive, and fun to chat with even while busy. The overall vibe is a perfect mix of a warm, welcoming neighborhood bar with a classy, art-deco, decadent feel. Prices are fair, and the attention to detail is incredible. I’ve gone back twice, and each time it’s just as cozy, sophisticated, and enjoyable. I love this place!“

“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!“

“We had so much fun today!!!!!“

“great espresso and cool beer choices“

“My favorite spot in town to hangout at ! Low entry fee, and then the games are set to free play. Super easy to get your money’s worth. They keep their beer selection changing, and lots of options if you’re picky like me. They also keep their pinball machines rotating around so you never get bored with that selection either. Super nice and knowledgeable staff who are fun to talk to and joke around with. 10/10 !“

“I have always had love for this place, Jenn & Luke were ALWAYS good to me. Be respectful, this is home to alot of ppl.
Truly a hidden Gem for a certain class of people in Fairview. Honestly I have never experienced a bad time here.
Large outdoor area, friendly, welcoming, and oh yea.. DOG FRIENDLY!
THE BAR staff over the years has always been completely fair, personable , and attentive. But they are also solid, will stand their ground and not take you s***. So don't be disrespectful.
All of them are truly professionals“

“I am one of the organizers for a monthly network gathering group. We chose to go to DSSOLVR and VOWL for our event this month. We had approximately 200 folks there this past Tuesday (January 14, 2024). The staff nailed it at both bars. Serving 200 people at one time can be a challenge... the staff did not disappoint. It was an extremely welcoming evening from the start to the finish. The owners and management were awesome to work with and delivered everything that they promised and more. They provided a DJ for us (DJ Abu Dissarray), which made the evening even that much more fun. Many of the event-goers had not been to either of these bars, but I heard from many folks that they planned on going back due to the friendliness of the staff and the treatment that we received. A big THANK YOU to both DSSOLVR and VOWL. Your new friends at TakeOverTuesday (instagram: TakeOverTuesdaysAVL)“

fire pits. Would recommend“
