9 Best Sports Bars 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!“

“We spent our 25th anniversary at The Restoration Hotel and were thrilled to find The Draftsman a short elevator ride away. A fun menu of bar basics made fresh and all the free games make this spot a great place to gather for a date or GNO/BNO. When they have live music - it’s even more fun!!“

“I always have awesome time and experience at Bier Garden. It’s my How I met your mother” restaurant bar. There always creative with DJs in the past on weekends way back and make this my first go.“

“I want to give a huge shout out to our server Alex H! Not only was the food and service excellent, but Alex went above and beyond when my sister had a fainting spell in the restaurant. He quickly brought her a cold rag with ice and chocolate chips to help her blood sugar. He was very understanding and caring and kept checking back to make sure she was ok. We just wanted to make sure he knows how appreciated he was today. Thank you Alex!“

“The Village Pub is an absolute gem in Asheville! Great atmosphere with plenty of pool tables, TVs for watching all the sports, and a solid menu of food and drinks that never disappoints. The place has that perfect mix of local charm and fun energy. Jessie makes the experience even better—always welcoming, attentive, and genuinely great at making everyone feel at home. Whether you’re stopping in for a game, a good meal, or just to hang out with friends, this is the spot. Highly recommend!“

“Just moved to the area and looking for a great watering hole that’s a well loved and cherished dive and definitely found it. Everyone was so friendly, the vibe was perfect, and I felt welcomed right into the family. Excited to call this my spot!“

“We had stopped by couple weeks ago just to take have a draft beer and take a look. We had a peek at the menu and liked what we saw so we decided to return to try it out. We returned a few days ago and found out that food service began at 4:00 so we returned the next day. We had heard that the cheese steak was excellent and it was! We had them add lettuce and tomato to the sandwich and added an order of fries. The meat is thin sliced ribeye that was juicy and delicious and the bun was perfect. The fries were also excellent - hot and crispy fresh cut fries the way they are supposed to be. We will be returning soon to sample other menu items.“

“Ive been coming here quite a while. Kayla and Sarah are always my bartenders and already know what I want. The food is great, and i met the new bar manager today, Nicole, who was very friendly and helping out behind the bar. Overall great place to hang out!“

“I have written less than 10 reviews in my life. However, I felt inclined to write this. My partner and I are Australian and earlier this year we travelled extensively throughout the US. We stopped in here in May 2024 and had the pleasure of being served by Gabriel. He was charismatic, kind and efficient. He made us feel extremely welcome and the whole experience could not be faulted. We look back on this with great fondness as it was a standout for us in terms of both food and service. We had the oriental chicken salad and ribs. Gabriel introduced us to some of his colleagues and showed genuine interest in what we had to say about Australia, as well as how much we love the US. He is a credit to the establishment. We thought of Gabriel, as well as other residents in Asheville, and the broader community, when we heard about the impacts of Hurricane Helene. We hope everyone is safe and well. If we are fortunate enough to get to Asheville again, we will be sure to stop by. Thank you, kindly and God bless.“
