50 Best Bars near Weaverville

“What a terrific local watering hole. As you enter, you can immediately tell this is a spot where locals come to chat with their friends over a cold beer. As someone relatively new to the area, I stopped in for the first time and was immediately greeted and made to feel welcome. The second time I came in, Holly, who was working the bar, greeted me by name and remembered my beer preference. Frankly, I'm thinking I could use a cold beer right now... maybe I'll see you there!“

“We passed by Wagbar on our way to our Airbnb and just knew we had to visit. So many happy dogs playing, my dog was anxious to join everytime we passed by. I love that they take being up to date on vaccines serious. We were greeted by what I called the "Welcome committee" consisting of 3 huge golden retrievers. Got inside, ordered a few drinks and set Stash free. He was right away accepted into the group of dogs playing and shown around. Not only were all the dogs friendly and very social, but their owners were as well. Great conversations were had. Absolutely recommend this place. The employee working that day(can't remember her name) was amazing with the dogs. She took notice anytime the dogs were "bored". She would come out and entice them to play around. Hilarious seeing the regulars reaction to her approach because they KNEW what was up haha! Can't wait to visit again when we are in town.“

“Happy hour: 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm M - F
If you love beer or cocktails and you need an early dinner, this is a great happy hour. You can get a huge chicken sandwich that tastes high quality for $9 or a delicious burger for $12. Drinks range from $3 - $10. They have plenty of cocktail and beer options during the happy hour as well. The only thing I wish they did was a red and white house wine with the happy hour menu as well. Other than that this is perfect for people who want a fancy delicious experience without the high price tag.

The happy hour definitely made me want to come back for the full dinner menu! I will 100000% be back.“

“The Low Down in West Asheville is absolutely amazing! It’s tucked just off Haywood next to The Hop you have to go downstairs to get to it, and the space is gorgeous. Everything here feels thoughtfully designed, from the decor to the lighting sconces, bar, booths, and wall art it’s unlike anywhere else. I wish I had taken pictures because it’s truly stunning.

The drinks are hand-crafted and top-notch, with some ingredients made in-house. Even the glassware is beautiful. There’s a fun game I’d never seen before they called it shuffleboard but not like my great grandads shuffle board, it was unique and the people playing it had a good time, and it adds to the vibe.

I went alone and sat at the bar, and the bartender was friendly, attentive, and fun to chat with even while busy. The overall vibe is a perfect mix of a warm, welcoming neighborhood bar with a classy, art-deco, decadent feel. Prices are fair, and the attention to detail is incredible. I’ve gone back twice, and each time it’s just as cozy, sophisticated, and enjoyable. I love this place!“

“great espresso and cool beer choices“

“My favorite spot in town to hangout at ! Low entry fee, and then the games are set to free play. Super easy to get your money’s worth. They keep their beer selection changing, and lots of options if you’re picky like me. They also keep their pinball machines rotating around so you never get bored with that selection either. Super nice and knowledgeable staff who are fun to talk to and joke around with. 10/10 !“

He and his team had the joy of taking care of my group of 7 crazy and rowdy ladies on 12/10 for our annual Christmas dinner before viewing all the Gingerbread houses! His team did a phenomenal job! Welcome to the Omni, Will!“

“Great drinks, vibes, & service! The cocktails are delicious. They are really unique and perfectly balanced. This is a good spot to end the night. My only issue is that it was a bit loud & crowded so it was hard to find a place to sit.“

“I was so saddened to learn they are closing down. White Rabbit, you graced Asheville with the most focused house and techno music. I do hope a new home is found for our beautiful dance community. 🖤“

“I am one of the organizers for a monthly network gathering group. We chose to go to DSSOLVR and VOWL for our event this month. We had approximately 200 folks there this past Tuesday (January 14, 2024). The staff nailed it at both bars. Serving 200 people at one time can be a challenge... the staff did not disappoint. It was an extremely welcoming evening from the start to the finish. The owners and management were awesome to work with and delivered everything that they promised and more. They provided a DJ for us (DJ Abu Dissarray), which made the evening even that much more fun. Many of the event-goers had not been to either of these bars, but I heard from many folks that they planned on going back due to the friendliness of the staff and the treatment that we received. A big THANK YOU to both DSSOLVR and VOWL. Your new friends at TakeOverTuesday (instagram: TakeOverTuesdaysAVL)“

“Best broccoli cheddar soup I have ever enjoyed! Grit cakes with onion jalapeño topping out of this world! Incredible shrimp and chicken, delicious salads with great dressing. Top it all of with a delectable blueberry tart, you can’t go wrong. Next time we’ll try one of the bowl meals. Staff is wonderful, too.“

“Love Rabbit Rabbit! Thanks so much for bringing great live music to NC/Upstate SC!!!“

“Everything was great except some slow service. Host called to ask if anything would like to be done prior. She helped put out a balloon and flowers I had brought. Also brought icing for them to write Happy 5 Years with the dessert. The server was slow and waited about 45 mins from the end of our food to getting dessert and leaving. Definitely was busy so I understand. Food, views, and the atmosphere were top notch. I will be back!“

“Visited Banks Ave. last night for the first time. Tuesday evening was a pretty chill evening. The bartender Amanda was so friendly and super responsive to conversation! Also, enjoyed a little skee-ball and cornhole! Great job, Amanda and thank you!“

“great dive bar with a fun crowd“

“Chad was super welcoming at the door. It’s members-only, but it was easy to sign up with an ID and there wasn’t a cover, which was a nice surprise. We went a bit early and got to watch the place fill up—there were two guys in a seriously competitive pool game that was fun to watch.

By later that night, my cousin was already texting me asking for the name because she wants to go back. The Barksdale is a cool dive bar with great lighting, a fun atmosphere, and a DJ on Saturday night. Definitely a spot I’d return to.“
