NightShade

Zero-proof cocktails and botanical elixirs on the South Slope, with DJ sets and live music. If you're skipping the alcohol but not the night out, this is the rare place that takes it seriously. The drinks are interesting in their own right.

The Whale

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.

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.
