Hotel Eve

The bottle list is enormous, a real beer nerd's playground with nothing on tap to distract you. Haywood Common is right next door if you get hungry. Come thirsty and take your time.

One of Asheville's original breweries and still a reliable night out. Deep beer list, and the bar food punches above the usual pub fare. Expect a wait on weekends.

An award-winning craft distillery and tavern making excellent cocktails with their own spirits. If you're drinking on this side of the county, start here. Open till 9 even on Sundays, and out in Fairview that counts for a lot.
