    Weather was nice so we decided to stop in for after dinner drinks and to watch the sunset. The drinks were good and the views were even better. Service was great. Definitely recommend checking out.

    We went for drinks and to watch the sunset. They had a tiki popup menu and the drinks were delicious. The outdoor seating area was so nice and the sunset was beautiful with the mountains in the background.

    A cute idea - an old cig machine converted to sell small pocket custom art.

    This rooftop bar is nice! A great patio with beautiful skyline views of the blue ridge mountains and downtown. Sunset is gorgeous from here and it can get super busy. They have plenty of bar space, high top tables and board games and a shuffleboard table as well as two super comfy leather couches to watch sports. They also had some great mocktails on the menu and some decent food items though the selection is smaller.

    This review marks my second time at the Pillar Bar and the Hilton Garden Inn. Both visits were satisfying. The Pillar Bar is a bar and lounge, great for late-night chill and watching sports on the TVs. I want to thank my server, Ali, for taking good care of me on each visit. Two gold stars. The outdoor seating area was closed during my visits due to cold weather. There are limited food options, but plenty of drink options. You're steps away from downtown Asheville; go find something good to eat. Come back to wind down over a drink before you retire to your hotel room.

    Came here on a Tuesday late evening since we were staying at the hotel. There were only six or seven other couples/small groups there but the bar was certainly understaffed. Took about twenty minutes after being seated to get our drinks ordered and about the same wait to get our checks after we were ready to leave. We kept standing up and looking around for someone to come by but they were stretched thin. The craft cocktails all looked fantastic. I got the Leaf Season and it was delicious! Bourbon, chai and pumpkin...it was a perfect autumn cocktail. The views are pretty great as well especially sitting in the outdoor area.

    I would not recommend! The meal was a disappointment. Do not get the salmon and shrimp it's not worth the price!

    My friend were hoping to find a rooftop spot for food and drinks. Found this spot on yelp and read enough reviews to say let's give it a try. The bar is located on the top of the hotel. All the staff wore a mask and seating was available inside or limited seating outside. The staff were very attentive, mutilple staff members checked on our table and surrounding tables. Southwest Eggrolls had a nice spice to it and the creamy avocado ranch dip paired perfectly with the eggrolls.Spinach Artichoke Dip was amazing. Unfortunately, the dip was served in a very small dish surround by way too many blue chips. I was left was alot of chips and no dip. Cocktails:The Smokey Mt. Old Fashion was strong and delicious.Strawberry Diamond was sweet but the muddled strawberries made it had to drink out of the straw. It was sweet and very tasty. The only view is of the near by park deck. It was kind of disappointing, we were hoping to Parking: Available at the hotel for a rate (not sure the amount) Street parking is also available Cocktails: Smokey Mt. Old Fashion and Strawberry Diamond Appetizers: Southwest Eggrolls & Spinach Artichoke Dip. Overall I would give this place a 4.5. The size of dip was very small. The view is less than desirable. The staff,food, drink were all excellent.

    Sunset over Smokey

    We had a great time. The food was better than normal hotel. Service was above and beyond. Ask for butters. Great sunset view over mts. We will be 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.

    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.

Still decorated for Halloween well into November so I'm not sure if that was their vibe or not. It's has a vintage feel to it but very nice. We waited for several minutes before realizing we needed to order at the bar. We ordered different drinks and they were all yummy. Espresso martini was my favorite though.
