An urban sports club on Hi-Wire's RAD Beer Garden campus, with indoor golf simulators, competition-grade billiards, and rentable pickleball courts. It's a polished, social way to burn an afternoon or evening. And there's beer right next door when you're done.
A massive studio building in the River Arts District, home to dozens of working artists. Helene flooded it to the second floor and it's closed for now, with a phased reopening running through 2026. Worth a walk-through once the doors are back open.
Our favorite room in town for live music, small enough that every seat feels close to the stage. The lineup runs from touring acts to local favorites, and the taqueria attached is a solid bonus. Check the calendar and grab tickets early, the good shows sell out.
An easy, unhurried float down the French Broad, exactly the kind of lazy afternoon it sounds like. For 2026, use their South Asheville put-in. The River Arts District launch is paused for the we-26 work and river cleanup.
