We came to see my favorite band on their farewell tour, and I was appreciative The staff working the door were friendly and actually allowed attendees to take merch back out to there car even after having scanned your ticket to get in, so I didn't have to carry stuff with me. The venue it self isn't huge, maybe allowing 400-500 capacity(?). The low ceiling provides good acoustics, but only one entrance means a big bottle neck after the show. They also don't really have a parking lot, but there is a lot of free on street parking. I'd definitely return for another show.

Well tonight left a bad taste in our mouth. We rolled in again Friday 8pm and we told waitress we…read morecame for the fish and chips and shrimp special. She was great took our order all was good. Then we get the bill and no "special" pricing. I questioned the waitress about it and she said that ended at 6. I told her we came like a month ago same time and got the pricing, well they ended that a few wks ago. Why would she not point that out when we ordered, we would've still ordered but wouldn't have been surprised by Bill. Not sure we'll be back after that move.

In the 1.5 years since, it's still the place I most often come back to in Hendersonville, despite sampling the food and beer at basically every place in town! I love the ambiance of the old converted gas station, the fact that you can sit inside or outside (and on chilly days, they don't skimp on the heaters) and the carousel of great food trucks that are always there. I love that you're not limited to one brewery's offerings, and instead have options from local NC establishments to interesting brews from all over the country. The bartenders know their regulars and are absolutely awesome, and I LOVE that I can take my pup, take my family, take my laptop---whatever the circumstances, Blue Ridge Beer Garden is the place to be. ALSO, it should be noted that in sleepy Hendo (where some restaurants close as early as 8 pm--why??), Blue Ridge Beer Garden is blessedly open till 10.

The beer tenders were friendly and knowledgeable about the beers. There's a little indoor seating, more seating in a secondary area with pull down canvas sides and then several tables on artificial turf for nice sunny days when you want to be completely outside. They have a wide variety of local food trucks on a rotating basis parked in a slot right next to the bar and dining tables. They are close to downtown Hendersonville without being right on the main road, which makes parking and access easier.

I didn't get to check it out, but there's also a downstairs lounge with a full liquor bar where you can also view the show. I appreciate the security when you walk in, metal detectors and staff members who very politely made sure everyone was safe. Scanning our tickets and entering was a breeze. Bartenders were very friendly and welcoming! We were standing at the barricade, so we chatted with the security guards and they were some of the nicest workers I've met at a show! They had lots of water bottles on hand to pass out to anyone who needed it, which is always great to see. The bands sounded great and we had an awesome time. We're already looking forward to the next show we can catch here!

There's a garage next door to the hotel though if you need close parking. Before the show we attended a bourbon/whiskey tasting in the speak easy below the main floor. Super cool experience. Got to watch the sound check for the opening band on a tv screen while in the speak easy. Also we met Arson, the guitarist, who joined us to talk about the booze. When it was over we were able to go to the main floor before anyone else was let into the venue. We got right on the rail! Worth every penny! Sound quality was fantastic and clear. They have massive fans blowing air and this is possibly the only concert I've attended where I was cold and not sweating in the pit. Nice touch Orange Peel. I would come back to this venue in a heartbeat. Long live The Hives!

If you are looking for a local spot, with local people this is your spot.

Wow, what a find in Hendersonville! I love everything about this place - the ambiance, the service,…read moreand of course the namesake drinks. The owner is clearly passionate about all things brandy and she'll help you choose the perfect drink for your tastes, or the perfect flight. There is occasionally live music, and weekly/daily drink specials coming in around $5! Do yourself a favor and take the time to enjoy a visit! There's also great restaurants within a very short walk, and a few breweries nearby. Pro tip: Be sure to ask for a tour of the place, the owner will show you all sorts of cool, artful, even historic things about the location.
