We did not eat, just drinks. Enjoyable space and great staff. We went on Friday evening with Percussion in the Park below. Kind of cool at first but it gets old after an hour of boom, boom, boom!
Asheville, I’m highly impressed.
I never thought I’d find so many hidden gems in a city like Asheville.
This place was neck and neck to a NYC rooftop experience with spectacular views.
The waiters were friendly and even looked out for me when a guy pressured me to have a drink with him. I appreciate that a lot as a single traveling woman.
I didn’t try any food, but the drinks were impressive. The lemon drink was too sweet for me but worth trying!...read full review

My all time favorite rooftop bar in asheville !! Emma Campbell MAKES this bar. She is the sweetest and most personable server my friends and I have ever had !! She remembers all of our drink orders and gets our food and beverages out in no time!!! Her bubbly personality and silly remarks have us laughing all night and we always can’t wait to see her 💗💗💗
