They had great drink prices -- Jameson and ginger doubles, yes please! The bartender was friendly and attentive. The crowd was laid back. The dollar bills on ceiling are the typical fun touch as well as the dart boards and other games available, with a nice outside deck. But those two musicians saying that people who say, "Cool beans" are weird while thanking the lord... no thanks. No thanks. I'll come back when they're not there.

So I find myself shaking my head that I'm even writing a review for Broadways. I only write food…read morereviews and a year or so ago I would never have thought to be writing a food review for this business, but here we are! I haven't actually been in Broadways since the change and was pleased to find it's still the same old place, just perhaps a little cleaner which is nice! We ordered three dishes to get a broad spectrum of their offerings, and well we got a wide variety of quality along with those dishes. At the recommendation of the chef I ordered the Pho and man I was not disappointed! A super flavorful broth that smelled divine was filled with perfectly cooked noodles and both meatballs and sliced beef. I inhaled it and loved every bite. I'd have given them a 5 star review if we'd stopped there. I'm a sucker for dumplings so we ordered the fried pork dumplings, they came a bit soggy with oil, a fast food chain tub of sauce and were unmemorable in flavor. I'd have given them a 3 star review based on just the dumplings. We decided to go for the Pad Thai special for our third dish and got it with chicken. The dish didn't really taste much like any Pad Thai I've ever had but wasn't unpleasant in sauce and noodle, it came with shrimp which was a little odd and the shrimp were a little bit over done. The killer here was the chicken. Have you ever microwaved raw chicken? You know how chewy and dry it gets? Well that's what was in our Pad Thai. It was really really bad. If this was the only thing we'd ordered I would have given them a 2 star review. That Pho though! Good enough that I will go back since the only other Pho I think is remotely as good is the recently renamed Pho R Us in south Asheville and I live a mere mile from Broadways. If I ever venture away from the Pho again and it's good I'll update this review rating!

Full…read moredisclosure, I hate cover charges as I'm a (post-grad adult) local business lover who wouldn't dream of not patronizing the business I'm visiting, but I do fully support live music so when reached the door to be greeted with the "hi, there's a $10 cover per person for the band" I wasn't deterred, but only mildly annoyed as my visit wasn't based on a band (that I may or may not enjoy) but simply for the hopes of enjoying great craft cocktails and a speakeasy vibe as a tourist visiting a nice establishment. In my opinion: I should patronize the business and tip the band if I like them, and the business that hired them should pay them. No? With that, I'd bookmarked Crow & Quill on my Asheville to-do list and walked over from our hotel, so we paid and proceeded to the bar. After grabbing our first round, we were fortunate to find great seats in the packed house. Thankfully, I enjoyed the "surprise band" and they added to our first experience (and our tab) at Crow & Quill. lol... Cheers!

We did have to wait a few minutes for a table so we ordered a bottle of champagne at the bar. There is a mimosa and bloody mary bar set up for you to make your own. They had plenty of juices and garnishes to choose from. You do have to go to the bar and order your food as well. Sharing is caring, right? So I ate half of the waffle sandwich and the brie/jam on the french toast. Both were good, but I am a cheese girl sooooo the brie one was my favorite. There is only one chef, so have some patience. She is working her bum off back! I loved all the funny sayings around the bar. There is a pool table, darts and some more games in the back. I would like to come back for drinks at night!
