My husband got a beer with a shot (Mezcalada) and it was fantastic. I got one of their special tequila cocktails and it was super delicious. They had a number of options I wanted to try, if I wasn't already feeling pretty buzzed, I wanted to try 2-3. We only drank here so that's all I can speak on but their patio is awesome and I highly recommend checking them out.

It's located in a basement, but it's a really cool dim lit cozy bar with bar seats as well as two sections on either sides for larger groups.

Highly recommend checking out if you are downtown.

The space itself is incredibly cool, featuring exposed concrete, a massive back bar, a vintage print shop sign, and my personal favorite--a disco ball chandelier. The bartenders were so welcoming and fantastic to chat with during our visit. They were running a super fun '90s throwback menu while we were there. If it's still available when you drop in, definitely try the "Last Time Lover" and "Smells Like Green Spirit." The Last Time Lover even came with a nostalgic butterfly clip holding a Spice Girls photo! If you're a cocktail fan, I highly recommend this spot. I'll definitely be back on my next trip to Asheville.

The Times is easily my favorite bar in Asheville -- truly a five-star, can't-miss spot. On my first…read moretrip back in July, I found myself coming here every night for a drink, and on this work trip I did the exact same thing. That alone should tell you everything you need to know. Their espresso martini is probably the best I've ever had -- perfectly balanced, smooth, and dangerously easy to drink. Every bartender here is incredibly knowledgeable. They can make anything you ask for and then walk you through the history and origins of the cocktail like you're getting a mini masterclass with your drink. The bar itself is beautiful, with an impressive selection of spirits and a menu full of creative cocktails featuring ingredient combinations you'd never expect to work together -- but somehow they absolutely do. It's also one of the best places in the city to sit back and people-watch while enjoying a perfectly made drink. Do not skip The Times -- honestly, it's worth going out of your way to stop there.

I love whiskey so much that I just happened to stumble upon this amazing craft cocktail rooftop bar. You get a skyline view of downtown Asheville and delicious cocktails?! Heck yes. The ambiance is amazing and each cocktail is so unique and made with so much thought. The prices ranged from $8-$14. You won't be able to get your regular whiskey and coke here but they have their own home made syrups you can add in instead. Their menu seems to change frequently so there's always something new to try! With each cocktail, you get a key. There's a locker with small little drawers that you can unlock with your key and each one holds a snack. There's meat/cheese and crackers, brownies, peanuts and olives. Such a cute concept!!
