    Five stars for the spot, great time was had by all even if I don't quite remember all of it ha ha!!!

    Sunday mimosa and Bloody Mary bar

    Great brunch here! The brunch menu rotates so you always have the opportunity to try something new and delicious. The staff that works here are all very friendly and they have some super talented chefs in the back. I love the Mimosa and bloody Mary bar which allow you to get creative with your own alcohol. They also have a little backyard patio which I believe is dog friendly. This is one of those places that you need a membership for so be prepared to sign in at the door. Periodically they do art shows for local artists and I believe sometimes they have live music as well although I usually just visit on Sundays in the morning for brunch. Something that has surprised me, however, is that small children are allowed to run around the bar. In my experience people under 18 or even 21 are not usually allowed in bars but perhaps this place is an exception because they serve food. If you're looking for a delicious brunch menu at 10:30 AM on a Sunday the De Soto lounge is the place to be. Just don't be that guy that brings their kids.

    My favorite brunch spot, great music, fabulous bartenders, delicious food and the best brunch cocktails. Also seems to be a bit of a hidden gem, as it's not usually too busy compared to other west Asheville brunch spots. The huevos rancheros are killer!

    Bearded bartender is rude. Very much a smartass. Very insulting, talks about people's appearances. We won't be back.

    Great joint. Good beer selection and vibes in West Asheville. Pinball, ping pong, and foosball plus an outdoor patio.

    Food is very good but service is sometimes rude. Good never fails but don't always except to meet a smiling face.

    My best friend and I had a great time at Potential New Boyfriend! We were in town a little early…read morefor my bachelorette party. I used to live in this area so was excited to find this new to me spot. It's a mix of a wine/cocktail/dessert/vinyl bar. The music was amazing and the vibe was perfect. I loved the natty wines they had to pick from and the extremely unique menu. Our server was super sweet and helpful. My best friend enjoyed her cocktail and we decided to share the dessert flight. Our favorite part was the sundae, I highly recommend getting their ice creams. The tiramisu and truffles were fine compared to the sundae. When we were there they played a great mix of Robyn, Whitney Houston, and some other artists. It feels like you're in your cool friend's living room. This is a great spot for a date or to meet up with friends. I can't wait to return when I'm back in town.

    This place came highly recommended to me and I was so geeked that we were able to check it out…read more The vibes are so cool We came on a Sunday afternoon and was able to snag a seat at one of there velvet couches. This was one of THE most unique wine/cocktail bar I've been to for a few reasons. I loved the way their menu was formatted with details on flavor profiles, styles and separated into quadrants. They had a small food menu that was very intriguing and eccentric. My eyes locked in on the Thai Tea Panna Cotta! OMG yum! It was decadent, luscious and was so flavorful. The layered coconut milk and that lemon meringue on top was such a nice touch of acid to cut through all that richness. I'm a sucker for boba pearls too so it was all delicious. Our server was so friendly and helped us through the menu. She checked in on us periodically and made sure we were taken care of. They were also playing great music! I would highly recommend this place for all sorts of vibes - girls night out, date night or even just solo. Can't wait to come back!

    Walking into The Crow & Quill feels like stepping into a moody, time-warped speakeasy -- antiques,…read moredark corners, and soft lighting all set a tone that's equal parts gothic and cozy. Inside, the bar's massive spirits collection (over 1,000 bottles, including some rare whiskies) backs up its reputation for top-tier, creative cocktails. Drinks like my favorite " Jack Treehorn" come highly recommended, and the bartenders seem to know their craft -- delivering drinks that are balanced, thoughtfully made, and sometimes theatrical. If you're in Asheville and in the mood for something atmospheric, unique, and whiskey-forward -- somewhere to soak in character and good drinks rather than sleek modern bar polish -- Crow & Quill is absolutely worth checking out.

The bar is known for its craft cocktails, creative cocktails that are often praised for their balance and craftsmanship. Drinks like their smoked mezcal cocktails or old fashioneds tend to stand out, and live music on select nights adds to the intimate, atmospheric charm. It's a cozy, often crowded space, so seating can be limited and service may feel slower on busy nights. T If you enjoy rich cocktails, rare spirits, and a one-of-a-kind vibe, Crow & Quill is absolutely worth the stop.
