When I entered the establishment I was wowed at how cool the space is, I had no idea and honestly didn't have high expectations. The bar is decorated really cool with geometric wall designs and a giant hexagonal opening leading from one room to the other. Dalton Distillery also has Ping-Pong, a pool table, and video games. I had no idea. As I walked in, I was immediately curious as to how this place isn't more popular. There is plenty of seating with lots of chairs and a few couches. The Distillery is decorated with some cool furniture too and has some colorful graffiti murals. I am a very visual person and this place was surprisingly awesome inside. I'd love to come back with a group of friends for some Ping-pong and pool games! I was very happy to hear that my bourbon and gingers were only $4, a great deal that is a rarity in/near downtown Asheville. My friend ordered some of their housemade rum in a cocktail that neither of us enjoyed, but they have a pretty good beer selection so he left happy anyway. Overall this place was great and I can't wait to check it out again. I had to give Dalton Distillery 4 stars rather than 5 because the bartender was very unfriendly. I asked him many questions about the rum. I was very interested considering that they are a distillery and that is what they make, but he seemed annoyed by my questions and barely answered them. He talked to me in a way that was very arrogant and dismissive. I'd like to hope that next time I go in there is a different bartender or he has a better demeanor. Servers and bartenders play the role of being the face/representative of an establishment and for my first experience being here, there was not a good representation.

We are locals, and this experience made us feel the magic of being tourists in our own town. Looking down several stories and gazing out several miles, both, gave us such unique perspectives of the City. And yes, you can go to these rooftop bars on your own, but the Asheville Rooftop Bar Tours provides endless historical and architectural anecdotes of the area. Sam even shared numerous photos dating back to the 1800's, giving unique snapshots to the past while you gaze upon the present. You also gain access to the reserved premier seating on the decks, dedicated wait staff, and oftentimes off-menu craft cocktails and mocktails. Ask for the witty and charming Sam, but if he is busy, you will have fun with the rest of the staff! Ten outta Ten!!!

The band was fantastic and kept the crowd entertained all evening. The venue itself is really cool, and the downstairs lounge is worth checking out if you have the chance. Just keep in mind the restrooms are downstairs, so that may be something to consider if stairs are a challenge. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that our bill was higher than we expected, and we weren't sure if there was a cover or entertainment charge. I'd recommend asking before ordering if you're there for live music, just so there aren't any surprises. I also learned that their espresso martinis are made in a creamy style. If that's your thing, you'll probably love them. I prefer a more traditional espresso-forward martini, so it just wasn't for me. Overall, we'd absolutely come back for the live music and the atmosphere.

The original spot we wanted to check out was closed, so The Whale was such a perfect last second gem for us. We went on a Thursday evening and they had live DJs in the outdoor section which was so nice. We ordered our drinks inside with a very kind bartender. They had a variety of beers from all over to choose from. It seemed to be attached to Haywood Common Kitchen, so you can get food from there. My best friend got a beer she enjoyed and I tried a unique sour. The outdoor seating was plentiful and there were a lot of people enjoying the great weather and music. I'd recommend this spot.
