Modern Alchemist Co.

Distillery, brewery, and Latin-inspired restaurant packed into 8,500 square feet of former Old Fort sock factory. House spirits, house beer, and a THC/CBD beverage bar, a combination you won't find anywhere else. It's up past Black Mountain and the drive pays off if you're curious.

Wicked Weed Brewpub Locals’ pick

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.

Cultivated Cocktails Tavern Locals’ pick

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.
