“One of the only true local bars in Buncombe county. Just beer and wine but not 35 different IPA's and no snooty hipster vibe. Just down to earth and friendly. Great Karaoke on friday and saturday night with Dave the DJ. Some really talented local vocalists. A very welcoming atmosphere.“
“This chili’s is pretty good! The service is usually great (we’ve had a couple not great servers but most are really good), and the food is usually really good too! We’ve only had one instance where we ordered takeout and the food just wasn’t good. We’ve come here over 10 times though and the food has always been great the other times!“
“We found this little gem by chance and were not disappointed. Great atmosphere, kid friendly (albeit its an adult place). We sat at a small corner table by the bar. We enjoyed some sharable plates, great wines, mocktails for the kids, excellent wines and my wife a great Vesper made by Luci (the bartender). But the cherry on top was the fact that she made a perfect Irish Coffee - a simple drink, but buttered by 99% of the bar tenders. We will be back.“
“Carigan is quite literally the most amazing server I have ever had the pleasure of being served by. She is able to flawlessly handle a bar filled with 75-100 people and ensure everyone has a drink and a good time. This bar is amazing and I highly recommend!“
“Had a blast! Great selection of pinball machines, arcade cabinets. They even had ALL the consoles with a great selection of games to choose from. There's a QR code to scan that will break down the game selection by consoles so you don't have to stand there and comb through all the games yourself. Go check it out, you won't be disappointed.“
“Absolutely love this place! Almost scared to rate it so high and encourage others to stop in. But they truly do deserve it. Wonderful staff always available to answer questions and give insight on their vast menu of specialty cocktails and Mezcal flights. Amazing atmosphere offering both inside and outside seating with heaters to take the edge off the winter temperatures. It is a small building/occupancy but I think it truly adds to the ambience of the space. And to top it off the food truck parked just behind is amazing.Parking: Lot between the brewery and Anoche has plenty of parking. Also a few spots on the street.Kid-friendliness: Not a location I would recommend taking your kiddos.“
“We had a wonderful experience at Fahrenheit Pizza. We brought some family with us from out of town. We had pizza, garlic knots and even tried their cannolis! The food was all very delicious, especially the pizza. And the staff were all very kind and inviting, especially Conrad. (He was the one that sold us on the cannolis) As a pizza snob, this place has inched its way into my top 3 pizza places in Asheville. Cheers!“
“This place is really unique. I'm not from NC, so when we saw this on yelp, we knew we had to try it out. It's really cool. The drinks are interesting and d the bartenders are super friendly! The vibe is cool if you like unique places. They had a show when we tried to go. They said we just needed to stay in a certain area and didn't charge us extra. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in Asheville!“
“This place was amazing to discover while staying in flat rock for the week. Enjoyed some food and drinks while playing some board games that we never played. Love the concept of the store. Getting away from the devices and spend some quality time like the good old days.“
“Grade A++ tiki experience. Excellent service. Got three drinks, one a bowl, all absolutely excellent. The decor is spot on. Only issue was music could have been island tropical but was blues. But I like the blues too. Just not right for the vibe for the decor. But 100% recommend anyone who is tired of all the beer to pop in here and escape to Bali hai.“
“We went on a local brewery tour as a group and we loved every minute of it. Our tour host, Cloud, made this tour better than great with a genuine feeling excitement about getting to show off some of the local breweries and other sights and locations in between. The bus was a fun and unique way of touring the city with its artsy touches and decor. There was nothing better than cruisin' through the streets of Asheville while listening to a fantastic band, Perpetual Drip, get their groove on and make the whole bus dance in their seats. The three breweries that we went to had a nice selection of beers that should suit most everyone and there were usually some sort of food truck/trailer at each location in case you start to get snacky because of all the delicious beer you have been swigging.If I ever get the chance I would do this tour or another one that Lazoom provides as I had a super time on this brewery tour ♥️♥️“
“Loved the experience! The dining room is beautifully decorated. The bread that they brought out for an appetizer was really good. I especially liked how they had different types of bread to try. The food was very good too. I got the lobster tails, and both had really good flavor. Everything else in the dish was a very good compliment to it too. The filet mignon was very good as well. Very flavorful. Next time I visit I will definitely come back here for dinner.“
“Stumbled upon this gem of a pizza food truck while exploring Asheville's brewery scene and, wow, what a find! The hot honey and bianca pizzas are must-tries; they've quickly become our go-tos. Fresh, hot, and consistently delicious, we find ourselves tracking this truck's location just to get another slice. It's a clear winner in our book. Five stars across the board!“
“This place ROCKS!! I LOVE what these guys & gals are doing for our community. Their ginger beer/soda/craft cocktails are all delicious and so tasty. Check out their specialty cocktails which constantly change with the seasons. Love the large, open space surrounded by pallets of cans, making you feel truly immersed in the product. The location is great and close to everything in Asheville along with plenty of parking. Do yourself a favor and do not miss this place!“
“My wife and I happened to spot this cidery as we were walking through the South Slope area of downtown Asheville. Boy were we happy to bump into this place! A great addition to the many breweries that this area is known for.My wife is a huge fan of ciders. After trying the pick your own flight, she said this was one of the best cider experiences she has had. Sweet ciders, dry ciders, spicy ciders...you name it, they have it. In addition, they have a large assortment of beers as well for anyone who doesn't drink cider.Vibrant and fun place with super friendly staff. Add in some comfy couches, tvs, shuffleboard, pool table and a ping pong table, and you have one fun spot all the way around! Dogs are welcome inside, which is a huge bonus to any pet lover.“
“Interesting little spot in West Asheville. Smash burgers and fires were hot of the grill and very filling.Josh was both bartender and waiter but was very attentive.Parking: The parking lot is small, so we can see having to find a spot up the street and walk down.“
“I went into the Crow and Quill to get a night cap on my birthday. The service was amazing. Both bartenders were so sweet and accommodating. They made my birthday really special. I had the best gin and tonic ever (not kidding). I will definitely be coming back.“
“My husband and I had a very nice time at Appalachian Ridge. We arrived shortly after they opened and since it was a weekday we ended up being the only ones here. It was so beautiful and peaceful out on the patio. They have tons of pretty areas on different levels outside as well as a gorgeous inside bar area. All of the ciders tasted good and the service was good as well. Each time we are in the area we will make this one of our stops.“

“Such a fan of Botanist and Barrel’s ciders and wines. I love that they are all natural and contain no weird additives. Extra brownie points since their organic ingredients are sourced locally from their farm or other local sources! Love the tasting rooms ambiance and chill vibes. Highly recommend!!“
“Really cool little spot in downtown Asheville. My husband has performed here twice and it's neat, very hole in the hole I would call it. Staff is friendly and professional. Punk-ish atmosphere. Not stuck up. Would reccomend anyone check this place out.“
“Our absolute favorite restaurant in the southeast, the food here is just special. Their food is thoughtfully crafted, made with love, and beautifully plated. They can transform a pile of beans into the most exquisite dish. My husband, who is an incredible (professional) chef in his own right, and I think it’s better than some of the Michelin Star restaurants we’ve been to. And the service is top notch as well, we always feel so welcome and cozy here. It’s an absolute gem!“
“One of the original breweries here in town & one of my favorite breweries for beer in the country. It's a don't miss kind of thing place. Only come for the beer & people watchin. Have a great walk about the arts district or just go for a walk along the river. IMO - they make the best beer of anywhere you'll ever go.“
“Stopped by for a couple of beers on Saturday. It's a brewery with a taproom. Taproom is a pretty cool space with all kinds of options for seating from barstools to comfy couches.Very clean and welcoming and inviting space. The taproom is upstairs above the brew floor so you can check out the beer making process while enjoying your drinks. A tv had college basketball on so we were able to enjoy our team playing ball while we drank our beers.Bartender was helpful and quite nice.“
“The sort of thing you would expect to find in Asheville, this is a retro shop that prints vinyl records and also has a large cafe. I missed the tour, but stopped in for a quick bite. Their chai was heavily spiced with an intriguing flavor and only a hint of tea aftertaste. The pastry they had on display actually wasn't that great, but I took a nice and chewy chocolate chip cookie to go. The cafe was large and would be a nice place to sit.“
“When you have a craving for Mexican food, then you should go to someplace that has authentic Mexican food made by actual Mexicans. This is one of those great places. No TexMex here. This is the authentic real thing. We sit down, we order a Dos, Equis Ambar, and the guacamole bowl that they make fresh right at the table with a smile and simple but delicious ingredients! I get the shrimp fajita, but I skipped the tortillas because everything else is delicious enough. It's fresh, it's cooked, wonderfully, and it's quick. Delish.“
“Rosetta’s is a delicious restaurant with a diverse menu chock full of vegan items. They also have a great selection of drinks and vegan desserts. Unfortunately, since moving to their new location, they have been getting more and more expensive. The fare stays the same but the prices get higher. The food, however, is fantastic. You’ll just feel the hit on your wallet as well as the one in your stomach!Vegetarian options: Extremely vegetarian and vegan friendly. There’s no meat on the menu!“
“We had a great breakfast this past weekend. The Lowland Breakfast Bowl is must try. Our server/bartender was so attentive and nice. We will definitely go back the next time we visit AVL. Only advice to management, if you are going to have your front desk staff in the same room as the restaurant you should cross train them to help the restaurant front of house. For most of our breakfast, there was two of them doing very little as they watched the server have to work her tail off to take care of dining customers. If the front desk would just bus tables, pour waters and say goodbye when we left it would have made more sense. I was embarrassed for them on how useless they looked just sitting there.“
“Simply put, this venue was the best ever. The staff is exceptional. They went above and beyond to be as accommodating as possible for my wife and I because of our health issues. They truly made this night incredible! The stage and seating/standing room is small, which just makes the experience more intimate and amazing. There is a Taqueria inside which makes some of the most amazing, authentic food I've ever had. I would have seriously driven from Spartanburg South Carolina just to eat here! I know that I will be coming back as often as I can! I'd very highly recommend that if you want to have a magical night out with excellent food and music from the best staff around, you've got to come here!“
“My wife, son and I, was passing through on our way to Gatlinburg and my wife being pregnant was very nauseous and i informed the waitress my wife needed fries and they made them fresh and brought them out to the car within 3 minites! The fries were made perfectly and my wife felt way better after eating! Thank you Lisa for rushing my wife the fries!“
“We had such a great time! We were in town to see Biltmore and hike the Pisgah Forest and were looking for some live music. We started at the guitar bar at the other end of the building, but it was way too crowded and not what we were looking for. We heard the music from this place and wandered in. The band Binz was amazing and so much fun, the place is fun and funky and cozy with lots of art on the walls, and everybody was really friendly. And a guy came in with three big dogs that went around and said hi to everybody! The only thing is, we almost missed it because it was not on any of my Google searches!“
“Had a pretty rude waitress but the food and quickness of service made up for it - other wait staff were very polite! Also pet friendly for outside seating.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian and vegan substitutes that are delicious!Dietary restrictions: Lots of options for dietary restrictions, gluten free options, dairy free and vegan.Parking: Had to park in a paid parking lot on the same street. Prices weren't as bad as some lots - around 6 dollars an hourKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly in atmosphere and in the menu!Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp entrance and wheel chair accessible bathroom stall, and accomadating seating at some tables“
“Thank you for giving us that magical moment and experience! Come to Fleetwood's for a fantastic time! The staff are amazing! They went above and beyond to make my bride and I feel special. Fleetwood offers family for those who need it! I can't say enough about how wonderful this place is!“
““Crave” was the second stop on my dad’s “80th” birthday experience. The waitress “Ravyn” was wonderful. She made the experience so much fun. The desserts were phenomenal and the decaf coffee was delicious. We will go back more than just on birthdays.“
“We LOVED our experience at the Golden Pineapple! It was our first time there, we've heard a little about it. The drink menu is very fun and has something for everyone. Non alcoholic and alcoholic options. We both had the Bodega sandwich and it was one of the best sandwiches we both have ever had! Everything about the sandwich was incredible and the side salad was so delicious! The atmosphere was nothing short of pleasant. Fantastic place. We will definitely be coming back.P and J“
“absolutely stellar cocktails and awesome vibe. so happy to stumble on this place and would definitely come back. you can tell the bartenders know what they're doing. the spitting devil was 10/10 and the perfect daiquiri is accurately named.“
“Stopped here last week while int he area with my girlfriend. The beer selection is second to none. However, the menu is a 30 page folder. We stuck to the tap menu on Untappd for simplicity's sake. If you live there, direct the menu, but for a quick visit it is overwhelming. The atmosphere is neat, but it was cold, when they finally closed the big door, it warmed up a bit. The bartender was mostly disinterested and he was the only staff present. So Menu ... 5 stars ... but simplify it. Atmosphere ... 4 stars ... pretty cool, but cold and not that clean Service ... 3 stars“
“Me and my wife loved everything about this place. Located in the heart of the city. The service was A+ when we were there and the food was incredibly delicious! We will be regulars here without a doubt. If anyone is ever in Asheville, stop here for brunch. You will not be disappointedDietary restrictions: Had some gluten free options“
“We love Wedge Brewing! If you're in town- it's a must visit for beer! Great location, good vibes, and good service! Been coming here for years, and the only thing we wish is that they'd bring back Paynes Pale Ale (our favorite!!! Please!!!!) Cheers??“
“Great venue and outdoor space to linger before the concert. Drinks were reasonable, and the food was very good. I saw Christone " Kingfish" Ingram. Great show, good sound. The concert was broadcast to an outdoor screen by two firepits.“
“Excellent intimate venue. Good wine choices in addition to a wide range of beer both bottled and on tap. They get excellent music acts and if you live the blues you need to check out Mr Jimmy on Friday nights. The only complaint is they could use more space.“
“Loved the food, and the beer was incredible, the atmosphere would melt cupids heart but I had to give you a four because it's 20 degrees outside and the damn mens bathroom almost froze my pickle off. Needless to say, the beer was excellent, causing way tomany bathroom trips.“
“Brewskies... What can I say about Brewskies.Well the one fact I can share that should speak the loudest for itself is that I am there atleast 3 days a week; and so are most other people you'll find haunting the building.I'm reminded of the old Howard sentiment- The people that love it, the people that hate it and the people that just don't care all come back for the same reason .... they can't wait to see what happens next.So go find out with the rest of em!!!•Daily Drink Specials•Open Mic MOST Monday's•Free Pool Every Thursday•Karaoke Every Friday•OPEN Pool Tournament Every Saturday•"The Backyard" - Outdoor Seating/Smoking Area with Cornhole and horseshoes (bring your own bags/shoes), Firepit, Picknick Tables, Dog Friendly, FREE Access To Local Sunshine and Breeze(Secret Locals Hack - Alishia (The Bartender) If she's working you're gonna have a hard time leaving and you WILL be back cause everything is gucchi when she's slinging brewskies)Vegetarian options: Un-likely to suit any dietary needs... deep fried hotpockets, corn dogs, chicken strips and mozzarella sticks... I don't think anything in the building goes without dead animal parts involved. We apologize in advance to our furry friends... for being so delicious.Dietary restrictions: Again, Un-likely to suit any dietary needs... deep fried hotpockets, corn dogs, chicken strips and mozzarella sticks.Parking: Even if our relatively large lot is full the fire department across the street has plenty of open, safe parking. Never heard of anyone leaving because they couldn't find a place to stick their vehicle.Kid-friendliness: "Kids" as-in 17-20 are allowed until 9pm ACCOMPANIED BY A PARENT OR SIBLING.

“Great beer selections with a limited number of craft cocktails. Good food - more upscale bar food. Sprawling outdoor area if you want to spread out or bring your dog. Always friendly service. If you are in Mills River definitely stop by for a beer and the chicken sandwich.“
“Neat little place! We needed a place to hang out until our Air B&B was ready. While it's odd to have a bar at a gas station, the backyard area was awesome. It's fenced in and there wasn't much of a crowd, so we could let our dog off leash for a bit & he had a ball! Most drinks were $4 & they even had a good berry seltzer!“
“Awesome little corner bar facing the Woolworth building downtown. Great to watch the various Asheville citizenry from an open air window overlooking the street. Very small establishment but nice and chill. Beautiful bar and wooden bar tables. Best thing is the beer selection is spot on. I was planning to do an afternoon pub crawl but I mostly hung out here to drink.They also do some really great smelling coffee too for any friend of bill w out there still into the casual bar scene!“
“this was a awesome places but after them hearing a friend of mine set off a small fire work at a show that didn't even involve them tom the owner only banned us but also startes harassing his employees for associating with us outside of work which is a big no no and has also been band from other venues cause he has been saying we are anarchist and harassing people to not allow us into places. good job, does he even know what sovereign means lol.“
“My “food” rating is actually for the drinks — Little Jumbo is my favorite cocktail bar in Asheville.Parking: Parking across the street at Five Points Restaurant (which is closed when Little Jumbo is open). I’ve never had a problem finding a spot.“
“They have a new local Poblano food truck with incredible flavors. The bartender was so welcoming, and reflects Asheville's original scene. Creative, authentic, and sustainability focused. We sat down to enjoy avocado sandwiches and over all a queer friendly vibe. Puppy friendly. It great for after the park lounging.Vegetarian options: Cactus tacos & mushroom quesadillas.“
“This place is almost on my top five chill hangouts in Asheville. The bartenders were friendly. The ambiance was neat, they had a bunch of antique, dark wood furniture, the only thing that I disliked was the TVs. It’s a cigar lounge, a place to hangout and spend time with other connoisseurs. If you want a sports show, go to a sports bar. If they took out the TVs, this place would definitely hit my top five.“
“I'm not sure still what to say about my meal. I was served a glorious filet mignon over sauce. WHO PUTS A FILET MIGNON ON A SAUCE?!?!?!I asked for a medium cook. It was the high end of the medium and truly tasty. It was served with this weird garlic flower thing that felt very wasteful. I love garlic, so I ate all of it, but whoa, that was a LOT of garlic. I'm glad I'm not a vampire.The service was exceptional. Keep him around because service like that is hard to come by these days.Seriously, y'all, if you have to put sauce with your steak to make it taste good, you're doing steak wrong. Get rid of that weird sauce that does NOT belong with a filet!“
