Besides it’s a beautiful mural of Roberta Flack! Why??????“

Truly a hidden Gem for a certain class of people in Fairview. Honestly I have never experienced a bad time here.
Large outdoor area, friendly, welcoming, and oh yea.. DOG FRIENDLY!
THE BAR staff over the years has always been completely fair, personable , and attentive. But they are also solid, will stand their ground and not take you s***. So don't be disrespectful.
All of them are truly professionals“

“Pisgah is a place of wonderful memories and magical musical nights. I quit drinking a few years ago so I haven't been there in a long time but I remember their beers fondly and was happy to see some non alcoholic options. Had another magical time seeing the Sunnyside String Band. Pisgah is full of warmth, community, love and the magic of WNC.“

“Great place for food and drinks, with a hard working friendly staff. I enjoyed performing there the other night and look forward to it again.“

“Coming into Asheville, we made this our first stop and we were not disappointed. On a Monday afternoon, we had the place to ourselves and Iris was a great host. Iris was both experienced with making cocktails and knowledge about the products distilled on the premises. At the current time no one was working the back area and the still was not running but you did have access to area to view the still. In addition to an eclectic option of spirits they also served Biltmore wines. After a tasting, I had a glass of red wine, ganache, and others got cocktails. Prices reasonable, drinks tasty, and service wonderful. Happy we stopped in. We had a positive experience.“

“Wonderful Place!“

“Always a good meal with friendly service“

“Can no believe I have missed this place! Wow. We had the huevos rancheros, southwest chicken quesadillas and the kids for the French toast. It was incredible. Food was fresh, flavorful; staff was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back“

“New to us and really enjoyed the selection of adult brews.“

“NO FOOD. The beer selection is super solid and the drinks get you where you're trying to go. The one bartender made my paloma with tajin, which I was not expecting, and it was HEAT. If you're looking for a good dive bar this is the spot.“

“We stopped by 12 Bones with our two frenchies after hiking outside of Hendersonville on our way to our Airbnb in Fletcher. We loved that they were so dog friendly in the taproom, even providing us with a bowl of water for them. The beer selection was great, & the food was awesome too! My husband had the Hogzilla with baked beans & I had the BLT with corn pudding. Everything was absolutely delicious! One of our primary goals on vacation is always to eat unique foods, & these certainly helped us fulfill that. Everyone was so sweet to our dogs & service was great. Thanks for helping make my husband's birthday weekend great!“

“great onion rings and the burgers were juicy and big 🙌🏼🤤“

“We’ve had Italian from the West Coast to the East Coast - this is definitely worth the stop! I had the chicken parm and my wife had the baked ziti. I was a huge fan of the chicken, it was fantastic! The sauce was a bit acidic, while I prefer hints of sweet sauce instead. We’ll be back next time we’re in the area. I’d like to try the Sunday Gravy next time!“

“We loved The Trailhead Restaurant and are already planning our next visit. Definitely order the Trailhead Burger 🍔 And the Appalachian Salad is a MUST !!! We can’t wait to try other menu options.“
