This is a popular West Asheville bar with a lot of character. Only 5 min from us. They brew beer on premises and serve a variety of pub food. There is a place in the back where you can go outside, our you can grab a table by one of the tables by an open window. Of course there are plenty of tables inside and space at the bar. It is not fancy, but does capture the Haywood Road vibe.
