“We have become regulars at Paul’s Hoppy Trees…Great local “Cheers Bar” atmosphere in this Hallmark Card Small NC Mountain town, ten minutes from Asheville without the hoards of visitors…Do yourselves a favor and visit Hoppy Trees and Weaverville for a refreshing change…PS…Paul serves the Best local Craft Beers AND Liquor Drinks…And..the teachings of Bob Ross as an extra!“
“No wait to get in and be seated, The server was very friendly, the place was very clean. The drinks, and chips was brought to us fast. I didn't care to much for the food, but everyone else loved it. I guess it's just me & my taste preference.The price was good too.“
“By far the BEST dining experience we had in Asheville. The food is so spectacular that I bought their cookbook just to remember how good it tasted. You MUST sit at the bar! We spoke with so many people, local and repeat visitors. Friendly, fun vibe. Highly recommended!!!!“

“What an adorable hidden gem tucked off the street. Outdoor setting is dog friendly. Pups even got a treat. Owner is delightful. I had homemade vegetable beef soup and some mixed greens with a vinaigrette. My husband had a tuna melt sandwich. Highly recommend“
“This place makes an excellent martini (with blue cheese olives). It's a cool environment, somewhat crowded, but the busy-ness adds to the appeal. I think they shine more in cocktails than in food. The burger is made with American cheese, to its detriment. Burrata was good, and the table tried some small Spanish-style fish. We had another OK pasta dish as well. Less likely to return for a meal but happy to come for drinks + apps.“

“Such a fan of Botanist and Barrel’s ciders and wines. I love that they are all natural and contain no weird additives. Extra brownie points since their organic ingredients are sourced locally from their farm or other local sources! Love the tasting rooms ambiance and chill vibes. Highly recommend!!“
“A few of us were in town for business and we stopped in prior to dinner for wine and beer… They have a very nice venue here, great décor and decent list of wines and beer. Service was really friendly and prices are decent.We enjoyed a few items and then moved on, but we enjoyed the stay while we sat & sipped! They also offer small bites here. Would stop in when in the area!“
“Great coffee, pastries and to-go snacks. This was an awesome addition to Leicester but like some newer spots they aren't that busy yet. Support local! I really think the owners need to invest in better signs out front to draw in customers.“
“We had a great breakfast this past weekend. The Lowland Breakfast Bowl is must try. Our server/bartender was so attentive and nice. We will definitely go back the next time we visit AVL. Only advice to management, if you are going to have your front desk staff in the same room as the restaurant you should cross train them to help the restaurant front of house. For most of our breakfast, there was two of them doing very little as they watched the server have to work her tail off to take care of dining customers. If the front desk would just bus tables, pour waters and say goodbye when we left it would have made more sense. I was embarrassed for them on how useless they looked just sitting there.“
“We had such a great time! We were in town to see Biltmore and hike the Pisgah Forest and were looking for some live music. We started at the guitar bar at the other end of the building, but it was way too crowded and not what we were looking for. We heard the music from this place and wandered in. The band Binz was amazing and so much fun, the place is fun and funky and cozy with lots of art on the walls, and everybody was really friendly. And a guy came in with three big dogs that went around and said hi to everybody! The only thing is, we almost missed it because it was not on any of my Google searches!“
“We LOVED our experience at the Golden Pineapple! It was our first time there, we've heard a little about it. The drink menu is very fun and has something for everyone. Non alcoholic and alcoholic options. We both had the Bodega sandwich and it was one of the best sandwiches we both have ever had! Everything about the sandwich was incredible and the side salad was so delicious! The atmosphere was nothing short of pleasant. Fantastic place. We will definitely be coming back.P and J“
“A stop at Walls Wine Bar while in downtown Asheville is a must! You can enjoy a taste, a glass or a bottle of some exceptional international wines. Walk through the gallery to take in the amazing photography of Benjamin Walls on safari or step outside and relax in the open air patio while people watching. While you are there, learn about once in a lifetime travel opportunities; the stuff dreams are made of!“
“My husband and I have been visiting Asheville for ten years and have walked by this restaurant many times. We found out what we have been missing. This will be a must do on any future visit. The food was outstanding and delicious. Service was outstanding!“
“This is the spot to go to when in Asheville or as a local looking for a restaurant who still prioritizes the ambiance and unmatched quality of food. Steph, Ralph and Tony are owners who care and love what they do. Easily my favorite spot to eat in Asheville. Not a bad choice on the menu. Ralph’s knowledge on wine is unreal and def worth listening to for pairing.“
“Yummy place where the food has that quality taste like you would experience if your friends or family cooked a meal for everyone. Warm and cozy vibe, feels like you're eating a meal at home. You can tell the food is right off the farm and doesn't have that tacky artificial taste that you experience at some places. Thanks for cooking for us you guys, keep doing ur thing! :)“
“Awesome little corner bar facing the Woolworth building downtown. Great to watch the various Asheville citizenry from an open air window overlooking the street. Very small establishment but nice and chill. Beautiful bar and wooden bar tables. Best thing is the beer selection is spot on. I was planning to do an afternoon pub crawl but I mostly hung out here to drink.They also do some really great smelling coffee too for any friend of bill w out there still into the casual bar scene!“
“I am a foodie/food-snob. I admit it. I am so often disappointed by my restaurant experiences. Last night, my partner and i had one of the best meals in Asheville we can remember. Bold, sensual, well-balanced dishes (somewhere in the neighborhood Charleston's Xiao Bar Biscuit). Off the hook (if a little pricey) wine list.“
“We stopped in here to have a glass of wine before dinner because it was right next to our hotel. We ended up staying much longer because we were having such a great time! The atmosphere is top notch and so is the entire establishment. They have a fantastic selection of wines, great decor, and a great patio. We also got the opportunity to speak to the owners, and they were genuinely kind and great people! Bottle Riot is also dog friendly which is always a plus. Any time we’re back in Asheville we will make a point to stop here again to support a great local business!“
“Do not pass this place by- the prices are great, the staff are friendly and the location is KILLER. This is a great place to stop in, have some quality beverages and some apps before dinner for a fair price in Asheville. We stopped in one night waiting for a table at a local restaurant and spent a lot of time having drinks and couldn't be happier. The store connected to this place is winehaus. Great place for a happy hour in Ash.“
“This was the most friendly place I have ever eaten. The food was delicious. I had calamari, chicken marsala, the most amazing tiramisu. The bread with garlic infuse olive oil left you asking for more it was so good. I loved that it was a truly local place and not touristy in a city built around tourism.“
“Ben is such a delightful human. He is an asset to the establishment and makes you feel instantly welcomed and appreciated. Ben's competence and attitude is such a breath of Asheville mountain fresh air. If you are lucky enough to be there when he is on the waitstaff, you will have a delightful time.“
“This is a very unassuming, casual place. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. I had the Blue Plate Special (a chicken sammy with fries) and a Diet Coke. My wife ordered the pot pie with a locally produced Devil's Foot ginger beer. Our meals were both delicious and the portions were very ample. The service was good and all of the staff was friendly and helpful.“
“Very very good coffee. Got a latte and honey rose latte, both great.Pros: Espresso was fantastic, as well as the flavor offerings. House made syrups a plus. Wish they had a couple more, but the ones they have are great. They weigh their shots and are well trained. Great art on the latte. Vibe inside is clean, nice place to do some work and hangout. It's posh. Good service. Great amount of seating inside. They sell coffee brewing equipment and coffee beans to take home. Also, the cups they use for take-out are great quality.Cons: Not necessarily family friendly as it is very much white and black inside, very calm. Not a bad thing thats just their style. There is parking but can get crowded and limited as its on a street corner on a hill. Near Pie-zaa and other places, it can get busy around there.“
“I had an incredible dinner with my husband for my birthday on Friday night. We don’t often rave about a restaurant and BOTH of us absolutely loved everything about Proper. Service, food, decor, speed, lighting....5 stars keep it up!! By the way we ate early and will do this again.“
“Fun place to visit. Great views from the rooftop, some outside seating although there may be some reservations needed for certain sections.The staff was super friendly and very helpful in making suggestions and getting drinks served quickly.“
“My husband and I had a great first experience at Thai Kitchen. We ordered the dumplings and spring rolls first and the sauces were delicious paired with each app. My Panang curry dish was AMAZING. So creamy and the veggies were so yummy. Carrots cut into cute shapes and green beans and zucchini. The service was also excellent. Will definitely be going back.“
“Good food with a good amount of spice. The reviews here were mixed so I was a little nervous to try it but it was close to the hotel and I didn't want to drive anywhere else. Definitely worth the visit! Our server was attentive. The dumplings were average but the green curry was excellent!“
“Fantastic restaurant. Visited on Easter Sunday with the family & the experience was top notch!! The ambiance was delightful & pleasant. The service was above & beyond special!! The food was exquisite @ cooked to perfection!! The desserts are to die for & so wonderfully tasty! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a truly unforgettable culinary experience! You will truly enjoy yourself!!“
