It looks Sound!!! It’s a part of BM. Leave it Be!! Why complain now. It’s bringing business to Black Mountain. Good people 🇺🇸
Besides it’s a beautiful mural of Roberta Flack! Why??????“

“Has been awhile since I've been there. My cousin was thinking of going while down there. I told him a must stop definitely if near by. It was a great time when I stayed nearby. Excellent brews, staff, whole 9 yards.
From the Pocono region. But if I'm even just a short drive out of the way, I'll be stopping. You won't be disappointed!“

Unfortunately they had sold out and only run the burnt end special on Fridays. So I went with the smoked turkey sandwich special. Another amazing sandwich. Don’t sleep on Chef A.J’s specials.“

“I have always had love for this place, Jenn & Luke were ALWAYS good to me. Be respectful, this is home to alot of ppl.
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“

“I went to Eda Rhyne on a recent trip to Asheville--i'm not really a spirit person so I did not know what to expect. I was blown away by the craft of distilling and the passion of the owner and bartender. I even brought home a bottle of the Nocino that I cannot wait to share with friends & family!

There's so much local and historical intention put into each of these spirits.. It felt like a food tour, but instead of walking, we were just sitting at the bar enjoying sip after sip. Can't wait to bring my foodie friends here the next time I'm in town!“

“Wonderful Place!“

“Always a good meal with friendly service“

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

“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!“
