Honestly I’m not sure how these bartenders make money; I hope the owners pay them a livable wage because the amount of paying customers they turn away is crazy. I am admittedly not a local, but my girlfriend and I were trying to visit broadways on a Thursday night with her sister who is both a member and a local. The bar was empty and it was about 30 minutes after midnight (very technically Friday), but we were turned away because “no new memberships on Friday.” This bar came heavily recommended by friends, but with this kind of pretentious ass attitude I can’t imagine why. If youre that insistent on gatekeeping your PBR, I will gladly tip the bartenders next door.
The people here must really hate their job or maybe they just hate locals. Born and raised in Asheville, I came in trying to meet a friend, didn’t know the membership system as I’m new to bars, instead of just saying “hey your friend needs to sign you in as a guest” like a normal person, I had the doorman get in my face and tell me I was causing a problem and told me he wasn’t a messenger as I was apologizing to him. Unless you guys have Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction in that bar there is no reason to act like that to a young person clearly confused and just wanting to meet their friend. Treat your locals better. Unless you do have those weapons, in which case, as you were soldiers.

Having read the reviews now I understand that this bar doesn’t want tourists in there. Explains why there was no one in there on a Friday night. Absolutely dead. Fortunately there are 4 other bars on this little strip of road that were really friendly, great atmosphere and good drinks. If you’re from out of town head to one of the others.

Awful people

Good music, good bar. Not many people. Doesn't have pool tables, even tho when I researched, it said they do. Nice atmosphere in general.

First impression, terrible! My fiance and I walked over a mile to compete with each other in pool as per usual after a great dinner and drinks.. they turned us away because we are not already current members. On top of that, they do not mention anything online about a membership and told us there is not another pool spot close by. What a let down.. ?

They do not allow people of pigment in the bar and are more than willing to let you know the R in Broadway is a hard R......

Broadways is the dingy dive bar of your dreams(four pool tables), thoroughly tempted to tell you to stay away because it's my choice drinking spot. But a few more friendly faces wouldn't be bad. They've also got one of those totally enclosed outside drinking/smoking spots which is a rare find in Asheville.Also beware it's a membership club, easy to get into Mon-Thurs. But they don't take new memberships Fri-Sun. Like no go whatsoever. Which means if you don't have a membership, either don't attempt it on the weekend or buddy up to someone who does so you can be their guest.Also Corey the owner does late night food upstairs that is a life saver when you get the munchies.
