    16 oz. Prime Rib special on Fridays.

    While my wife went camping with her friends on Friday, I enjoyed a perfect evening at the bar at Rye Knot. The Friday 16 oz. Prime Rib special ($39.00!) is an exceptional experience. The bartender is a polished professional, the wine list is impressive for such an unpretentious neighborhood joint, and my dinner was everything I hoped it would be. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Close enough to downtown for tourists, but primarily a local treasure. Go. You'll be glad you did.

    this place was very cozy and homey vibes. all food was delish. i ordered the shrimp mac and cheese and it was a massive plate!! great for sharing and flavorful!

    The food was amazing! Their meatloaf sandwich and wings are out of this world. The atmosphere is chill and relaxing. 100/10 recommend.

    6:30 Reservations on a Friday night and we were escorted to a booth in the bar area. This worked out well for us as we wanted to visit, and so the live music was in the background and was enjoyed. Started with poutines which were described as fabulous, with special mention of the onions and gravy. Entrees included the stew, a burger, the orzo and one other. The burger and fries were very good, and the other diners enjoyed theirs as well. We were able to play a couple games of tabletop shuffleboard too after dinner which was a nice addition to the evening. The manager checked in to make sure all was well and our waitress was very attentive.

    Wings

    We visited for dinner and there was little to no wait, a ton of tables were full. My partner said the wings were flavorful but my shrimp sandwich lacked flavor other than the slaw. Both our beers were almost $20. Staff was friendly but not very personable. Probably won't return.

    We are back in Asheville and back at Rye Knot. Service by Lisa was phenomenal, and the food delicious. The weather called for us to eat outside which was lovely. Good music in the background and Bob was able to give us a tour of the distillery/brewery. Fun fact Rye Knot was the first to have a distilling and brewing license in North Carolina.

    A wonderful evening at A Restaurant, that understands the first and second rules of being a restaurant. Good food great service. We were a group of six and and from beginning to end, all of us agreed that this restaurant works towards making your dining experience memorable. One of the best waitresses I have ever had paired with interesting and tasteful food.

    Ruben, butternut squash soup, fish and chips.

    Mediocre beer (at best) at a premium price. You are WAY BETTER OFF visiting Salt Face Mule just a few minutes away.

Almost every beer on the menu is a split batch fermented with two different yeast strains to showcase the resulting differences. It's a great concept, even if you're not into brewing. In terms of the food, it seems like the really leaned into providing something good, well-balanced, and sometimes takes advantage of the yeast and beer being cultivated on site. I had a house salad and some dilly beans for lunch. The house salad was fresh and extremely well balanced. I'm glad they had something vegetable centric available. The dilly beans were good, but quite a bit for a single human. They're probably the type of thing you would want to split among friends. I actually showed up for an event in the evening where they served pizza using dough fermented with one of their yeast strains. That was truly excellent. Nicely balanced, not over the top, with a deeply flavorful crust. If you're in Asheville, I would consider this a must visit destination.

Mrs. K. and I took the two seats at the end and I walked up to the bar to order drinks and dinner. A pint of the "American Style Lager" for me and their "Spicy!" ginger beer that Mrs. K. said was good but not all that spicy. Less than ten minutes later, my chicken wings arrived. They sell them as "a pound" which was good because these were very small wings. Small, but tasty in a sweet/spicy sauce and I ate nearly all of them while slowly sipping that very crushable beer. When it was done, back into the Sprinter van and off to figure out where we're parking for the night. I had tried to make a reservation on their RV parking app but they're booked two or three weeks out! Note: The restrooms are upstairs and they have an elevator.

Anyway, we both came here with high expectations and they surpassed them! Everything was so delicious on tap. It really elevates their beers even more. We did two flights and our favorites were the honey orange trippel and 1554 for me, and obviously juice force for my husband but also sweet ride. We both enjoyed the Trippel on draft more than bottled that we've previously had. The place was super busy (5 pm on Sunday of Labor Day weekend) but the line kept moving and the bartenders were friendly. There were a bunch of seating options, both inside and outside. We sat near the river and then moved to the covered pavilion when it got warm. There were a lot of yard games to keep people entertained. Two food trucks also on property which were good. There were a ton of kids but it didn't feel like it was overrun with kids or anything like that. They really nailed the vibe of making it welcome to everyone. There were activities for kids to play and they mainly stayed on the lawn section because of the fun stuff they had for them. It was really nice to see couples, groups of friends, older people, young people, and families all coming together for a good time and some good beer. You don't see places that ace it that well too often! We can't wait to come back!

If you can't find something to fit your palette I would be surprised! With the setting right along The French Broad River a very relaxed and chill vibe.

If you are visiting Asheville this is a "must" stop during your stay! In closing, this is for the folks at New Belgium, please bring back the Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough collaboration y'all had in 2016. I believe it will be an exciting 10 year anniversary collaboration!
