This review is just a rating for it as a community space and for VOWL. I was in town for my bachelorette and looking for fun spot to dance. I saw there was a show that Saturday and was excited to go with my girls. They have a pool table and a good amount of seating. The bathroom decor is iconic. They have gender neutral single stalls. I'm not sure what the space is normally like, but there was a natural dance floor section in the back for the DJ that evening. My friends ordered some drinks they really enjoyed and the bartenders were really sweet. It feels like a great community spot because people on the dance floor were social and friendly. I wish I was in town for their Wednesday dance therapy. I'm excited to return on another visit. read more

Always been obsessed with their pilsners, DSSOLVR's events, this space, and the overall creativity of the brewery, but must note that their food is outstanding!!! Italian sandwich was the perfect lunch for a day in downtown. Husband said the Crunchwrap was incredible. The food menu is really fun to match all the fun they're having with their beer. Go try! read more

Great brewery right in downtown. You can tell it is a favorite of many as it was always busy when we came here. Sat at the bar and the bartenders were friendly and the beer excellent. Can be a little noisy inside when they are busy. Also a nice outdoor space as well. read more

Great beer! Wide variety. A great stop in our Asheville NC brew tour. Highly recommended by many beer-tenders.

Liam friggin killed it this place is awesome. The place was clean and had a really cool vibe!!!!

This brewery had the best hazy IPAs, the most interesting beers, and CRUNCHWRAPS!!! The are currently doing a Taco Bellish secret menu since offering food service. It was so good. Great bartenders, open seating inside and out, and pinball! read more

Each beer they make is surreal. It's their slogan, but it's so true. Their beer is seriously top notch. They all have complex, yet delicious flavors. I love the whole vibe of the brewery, last time I went, they had a new area for food! Can't wait to come back and try more beer and their kitchen! read more

Two of my favorite beers from Funky Buddha brewing in Ft Lauderdale are Sticky Treats and No Crusts - a rice crispy treat lager and a peanut butter and jelly brown ale. DSSOLVR had their own rice crispy treat pilsner (Krispie Crusher) as well as a peanut butter and jelly beer (PB&J Turbo Fluff) but as a sour instead of a brown ale. Both versions were superior to the Funky Buddha versions, which is all I needed to taste to know that this place makes great beer. Out of all the breweries we visited in Asheville, DSSOLVR is the only one we took beers back home with us on the drive to Atlanta. Definitely make sure DSSOLVR is one of your planned stops if you're doing your own brewery tour of Asheville. read more

Second stop in Asheville. Nice place with a large draft list. I only had one beer. I asked the server for the best hazy IPA they had and he suggested the super computer draft. It was okay, not nearly as highly rated as some of the others. It was however a better value. The venue is large inside. They have a wall of pinball machines for playing. The music was blaring a little too loud. They had both indoor and outdoor seating. I believe I saw a sign for food service next door. They had a large selection of 4 packs to go. read more

Not a single disappointing beer. We sampled a few hazy IPAs and threw in the mango cheesecake sour (which was actually the most memorable drink we had here). Great outside seating area, helpful bartenders, one of our favorites in Asheville! read more

Visited Asheville and just kind of happened across this place, but so glad I did! We walked in and they were having stand up on the patio. The space was open with lots of space to stand or sit to enjoy drinks. The bartender was incredibly friendly and helpful. I am not a beer drinker, per se, but the bartender knew just what to recommend. The peanut butter and jelly cheesecake sour was the best beer I have ever had. Still thinking about it months later. Highly recommend DSSOLVR for amazing drinks and great vibes. read more

Great service and always some tasty options on tap! Liam hooked it up today recommended the dark Czech, some sours and the anniversary. Everything I tried, I liked! Great service and the whole place had a really fun and relaxed vibe. Put this place on your list of places to go if you are in the area and like a solid spot with some great options on tap! read more

DSSOLVR - Breakfast sandwich - Breweries Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

They had some awesome beers here. They had a few very interesting gluten free sours; a pb&j sour that tasted exactly like a pb&j sandwich, and a sour (you don't need no snack pack) that tasted like a banana milkshake. They also had a very good smoked rice lager. Their menu is very heavy on IPAs though, and when I asked the employee for advice while building my flight she said she didn't know much about the beers there. read more

DSSOLVR is IPA heaven! There are so many good options to choose from. And, they have really unique beers like the Krispie Krusher rice lager & the PB & J Fluff, which were both delicious. The vibe is warehouse arcade. It's well worth a visit when you're in Asheville. read more

Lots of beer options. Gluten free sour beer options. They need more food options. Popcorn was good. Too many dogs were around. They kept bothering me. read more

Fun place! Great beer selection and friendly staff. We ordered an Italian sandwich and a chicken sandwich. The Italian sandwich was ok. We sent back the chicken sandwich because it was literally tasteless. They gladly replaced it with another Italian sub. Worth a stop for sure but maybe seek food elsewhere. read more

Here at Vowl after Dssolvr: more divy area connected to Dssolvr. They've added a pool table on this side and a sectioned off private area too. Can get cocktails of you want that plus beer. I have always loved the paintings they display! 3rd place we visit everytime in Asheville. Great Daiquiri, great service! read more

Very diverse beer selection. All very good. Nice atmosphere. Definitely on my "will return" list

Open mic comedy was awful. Co-host cut my time from 5 mins to 3, disliked my critique of the two party system. Said co-host, Alex Parsons, went up after me. I stick around to be supportive of other comics and not leave abruptly. Didn't care for their material. I answered a crowd question about what we do for work, nobody else answered. I shared I do bodywork elbowing people and poking them wit a shark tooth. Normally this would be a layup to riff on. Instead I was attacked verbally and told me off. So I returned the favor and got kicked out. Management didn't reply to my thoughtful e-mail and IG DM. They need more emotionally stable hosts that don't lash out at attendees. Liberal intolerance at it's finest I suppose. This was my first experience in Asheville, bunch of grim suicidal, depressed, and bitter LGBTQ folks.. Too bad, the beer was decent. read more

We were in the downtown area for dinner and decided to have a nightcap at this brewery. When we got there, it was fairly late in the evening on a Wednesday night. There was plenty of open seating and this location is quite large so if you have a large group, this is a great location to come to. They have a large selection of beers. We did note that there were more IPAs than other types. My husband got one that was a cross between a German ale and a red ale & it's purposely served warmer than most beers. As funky as it sounded it had a very nice clean finish. I opted for the your solid gold, I'll see you in hell. I absolutely love this dark beer as it definitely had those notes of peanut butter and cocoa, which made it really sweet and delicious. read more

First visit to this downtown Asheville brewery. I they have both indoor and a small outdoor sitting area. I went with their West Coast IPA - The hustle is hostile. And I wasn't a big fan of the spear and didn't feel that it represented the true West Coast IPA style. My wife had one of their sparkling wines - Something for Nothing. She didn't like hers at all. Not really our type of atmosphere. It wasn't chill at all as they were playing speed metal music over the 20 minutes we were there. read more

What a fun atmosphere! They also have some really unique beer options, and slushies! The slushies were a hit with our group, they were delicious. I enjoyed a cheesecake beer, wow it was like cheesecake in a glass. Awesome seasonal flavors and decor. The service was also spot on! This was my first time visiting this spot, even though I frequently visit Asheville. It definitely won't be my last visit, since everything was so unique and so delicious. read more

The ambiance is a chill somewhat emo vibe. Casual and also the length of outdoor and indoor seating. Drinks!!! The most important thing. If you're a sweet kind of person order the PB and j engine sour beer. (It was my favorite) Coffee drinkers order tone death. Flights are an affordable 18$ if you can't make up your mind. read more

Y'all, this place is so rad!!! It's a great location with so much around and all very walkable. The inside is pretty stellar with some dope murals, cool art, awesome merch & damn good beer! They've also got a nice outdoor patio and a couple pinball machines. They do not have any food but there's several local businesses around that do. The staff were very friendly and polite. If you're a beer lover, definitely check these guys out! read more

Had to stop in as fans of the Charlotte bar in Distro beer hub. Big fan of the PB banana beer.

delicious beer! i played pinball and got a really high score which was fun!!!! go here

This brewery has such a cool vibe, a perfect spot to hang with a group and relax. They don't offer food so we brought in tacos from a local restaurant. I really enjoyed all the beers I sampled and the vibe inside was so cool. As a graphic designer their vibe was really cool for all the products. There was an outdoor patio that looked fun but I sat inside next to the 10 foot tall skeleton because it was so rad! read more

Excellent brewery if you are looking for something offbeat! Gendered bathrooms but at least with queer flags everywhere! Nice, wide & smooth surfaces make it easy to maneuver wheelchairs, baby carriages, doggos, and more! It's obvious that a fuck ton of love and creativity goes into this establishment. The quirky alien/space theme is fantastic and this is sure to appeal to all geeks! Video games, scifi, monsters, foodies, city pigeon lovers... Really it just appeals to my exact interests lol but I hope it excites you as well, dear reader! The best thing about this place is the width breadth of drink options and the really unusual flavors! I had a sour peach ring beer and I never would have imagined needing it in my life but gosh it hit the spot! Same with the gluten free vegetarian sweet sour salty locally-made pad thai crunch bites! Yummmm. I lied though. The best best thing would be all the doggos chilling out in the patio garden area!!! read more

We stopped in at DSSOLVR on a recent trip to Asheville. It was a Saturday night and not crowded but it is kinda far from other breweries in the area. The service was great! I'm not sure if they have food options available due to us just eating a large meal. It was a little slow for a Saturday night but then again it's away from the center of the other breweries. We had plenty of seating options, picnic tables inside, and a medium sized patio area where you could smoke. The seating on the patio was a bit more scant but we made do. I do wish they had some less hoppy options on the menu. Asheville is a big brewery town and the majority of the breweries carry a lot of IPA's which I'm not a fan of. My beer was good, however a little too hoppy for my taste, so perhaps a few extra light beers would be a great option. read more

This is one of those places that when once you leave you already wish you had order more. Dssolver was a top location for Ben to visit during this visit to Asheville and they did not disappoint other than they didn't have any canned togo beers for him to bring back with us to Tampa. You order directly from the bar and then find a seat. The seating is pretty limited inside and they do have some outside seating on their patio. The tables inside are long bench seating. The staff was friendly offering information about the beers we had questions on outside of what is described on their boards but do note that this brewery does not offer samples or flights but you can get half pours. They had several beers that sounded delicious to all of us which made the decisions pretty difficult to decide but we all made sure we ordered something different to be able to try each others. Each of us enjoyed what we ordered and wished we had more time to order more. Ben definitely has tbis on his repeat list for the next time we are in Asheville. read more
