5 Best Beer Bars near Swannanoa

“Thought we'd never have Root Down after the Salvage Station, so it is an absolute honor to have these folks in our neighborhood. They can cook some mean ass food y'all you can definitely feel NOLA in their hearts. We got just about one of everything and have never been disappointed. This place teeters on spicy (I can't tell, but my partner can) so proceed with caution if you have the same spice intolerance.

Terra Nova is a huge place with generous seating and views of historic Beacon Village. Multiple seating places and different areas. Both indoor and outdoor options. The bar is always attended by very kind bartenders who have the patience of saints. They occasionally have live music or performances that are equally delightful.

Support local and go home full!“

“We came in from out of town to relax and have a drink. I ordered coffee and my wife ordered a martini. We didn’t know that you weren’t able to have alcohol outside (although someone at another table had a martini as well). We had our dogs with us and we apologized profusely when the bar manager Victoria came outside and mentioned it. As we were gathering our things, we could hear her inside talking about how she’s tired of this “sh*t” , telling patrons at the bar. Initially we ignored it since we were trying to have a relaxing time in a new town. She kept on so I went in and asked if she was talking about us loud enough to where we can hear her outside! She apologized and said there are signs on the tables. First of all, there was one sign on a table that was written on what looked like a piece of paper and you could barely read the words. There was NO sign on our table and she said people take them off. I don’t like people insinuating that I’m doing something I didn’t do. We paid a 30 percent gratuity for the service we received and this is the treatment your customers receive?! Unbelievable! I told her it’s probably not in her best interest to insult and berate customers that are spending their hard earned money in your town.“

“We walked in after a morning hike, needing food and beverages.
Anna the bartender and Tori our server were both great, for service and selection assist. Great personalities and conversation, and around just when when we needed them.
The brussel sprout app was super.
We couldn't decide on pizza so we got a thin crust and a Detroit style, both were good, and now we have leftovers, for the win!“

“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!“

“We love our outings to Creekside - Georgia loves the chicken and fries and I had buffalo wings this time which I really enjoyed. I usually get the salad with smoked chicken and its my all time favorite. The staff are great and the atmosphere is cozy. So if you are looking for a great place to eat, with a good atmosphere and great eats - Creekside is my favorite place in East Asheville.“
