It was super fun and interactive. The Retrocade is very entertaining and before going there, honestly, I was cynical but now I already can't wait to go back. This would be a great place to take visiting friends. The upstairs is bright and airy and has a variety of games from pinball, pacman, DDR and downstairs is dark and feels more like a bar. Thank goodness they even have skeeball down there! The pizza from Standard was really yummy as usual and the staff working was friendly and accommodating. Hi-Wire beer was available and it's always nice to support a local brewery. A+ event!

It's supposed to be animatronic and move or something, but I didn't see it doing any moving. Maybe Wake was sleeping? It kinda looks like the person at the helm of a ship, with the parts of the helm behind them. When we came, during Pandemic, the Wake person was wearing a mask, which was most appreciated. This giant work of public art is nestled in a triangular lot right next to Burial Brewery on the South Slope of Asheville's brewing district. It fits right in with all the cool, unique weird stuff going on in this neighborhood!

It was displayed in Times Square and has since been brought home and is on display in Asheville's South Slope. It's a beautiful piece designed to make a statement about climate change. It's 40 feet tall and the coolest part? It's animatronic! I highly recommend stopping by, visiting her and then hitting one (or three) of the brewers that are in the area. Have fun!!

We were having breakfast outside at Tupelo Honey when we started noticing a lot of commotion, people gathering, and everyone trying to grab seats. All of a sudden, we were completely enveloped by the town's Holiday Parade. It was absolutely magical. After we finished eating, we walked over to the town square to watch the rest of the parade, and it made for the perfect day with family and friends. The whole experience felt warm, festive, and full of small-town charm. This is an amazing community, and I am so glad I got to be there to enjoy it. I hope to visit Asheville again soon!

I loved the small but well chosen wine selection. Grancha blend yum! Their take on a moscow mule was refreshing, unique and classic all in one go. I ended the night with "go ask Alice" a beautiful carrot juice, absinthe, gin, and maple concoction that I complimented with stolen ginger candy. All the drinks and all the bites were wonderful. I loved the dates wrapped in bacon with a touch of chorizo. Then there were the pork pate toast nibbles. My favorites wrre the meatballs. But I must give a shout out for tatertots with best ketchup for the win! Our new for 2016 ambassador out did herself this time. Bravo!
