Wonderful cocktails and atmosphere. Stop in, see Asheville from the roof top and experience your favorite new cocktail.
Great little craft cocktail bar with a few snacks to go with. They didn't have it on the menu, but their bartender made me the best classic 1944 Mai Tai I've ever had. Definitely recommend for small parties or a date night stop.
Chloe, Greg, and Blake r the best. Best rooftop experience in Asheville.

Top of the Monk offers a fantastic experience with handcrafted cocktails in a stylish environment. The rooftop patio and cozy interior provide a relaxing atmosphere, perfect for small parties or a date night. The menu features classic cocktails and specialties, such as the Corner of Coxe, 2nd Jessica Rabbit, coffee one with salted caramel rim, and the Brown Derby, a refreshing twist on bourbon. Guests consistently praise the high quality ingredients, many made in-house, and the inventive, interesting drink menu. The knowledgeable and friendly staff, including Rob the bartender, ensure a 5-star experience with great recommendations and attentive service. Visitors have enjoyed unique drinks like the best classic 1944 Mai Tai, philly punch bowl, and southern charm. The bar’s ambiance is warm and inviting, with a more laid-back vibe compared to newer rooftop bars. However, there is no wheelchair accessibility due to stairs leading up to the rooftop.
