It was nice for the 10 minutes we did last. The view is great and the inside reminds me of a French cafe with giant floor to ceiling windows and doers.

I would you have taken a photo but there were people sitting there lost in the pure bliss of that spot and each other. It was beautiful Anyway...onto the food. It was wonderful.

There is tons of seating indoors and a cute backyard feeling outdoor patio. Even though it's a huge space, it's extremely intimate. The 70s living room decor is so cute. I came here with two friends, but it's also awesome for bigger groups. They have an amazing menu of signature cocktails and mocktails. We were there on an evening they were celebrating a bday with Hail Mary. They seem to have a lot of cool local events. The bartenders were amazing! They were beyond friendly and just so down to earth. We went straight to the indoor bar when we arrived and were served almost immediately. I want to plan another trip to AVL soon just so I can spend more time at DayTrip.

I love the uniqueness of the decor - so many various, random pieces that many would recognize from the past - games, toys, Nintendo on old TVs that you can actually sit down and play if you want.

I also recently tried the meatballs, which were absolutely delicious. The pizza is good and although not my all-time favorite, it is still tasty enough to enjoy every bite.

They put me in a cozy table near the front window that was very relaxing and casual. Melissa was my fabulous waitress and was on top of everything and very attentive.

I used to live in this area so was excited to find this new to me spot. It's a mix of a wine/cocktail/dessert/vinyl bar. The music was amazing and the vibe was perfect. I loved the natty wines they had to pick from and the extremely unique menu. Our server was super sweet and helpful. My best friend enjoyed her cocktail and we decided to share the dessert flight. Our favorite part was the sundae, I highly recommend getting their ice creams. The tiramisu and truffles were fine compared to the sundae. When we were there they played a great mix of Robyn, Whitney Houston, and some other artists. It feels like you're in your cool friend's living room. This is a great spot for a date or to meet up with friends. I can't wait to return when I'm back in town.

This was one of THE most unique wine/cocktail bar I've been to for a few reasons. I loved the way their menu was formatted with details on flavor profiles, styles and separated into quadrants. They had a small food menu that was very intriguing and eccentric. My eyes locked in on the Thai Tea Panna Cotta! OMG yum! It was decadent, luscious and was so flavorful. The layered coconut milk and that lemon meringue on top was such a nice touch of acid to cut through all that richness. I'm a sucker for boba pearls too so it was all delicious. Our server was so friendly and helped us through the menu. She checked in on us periodically and made sure we were taken care of. They were also playing great music! I would highly recommend this place for all sorts of vibes - girls night out, date night or even just solo. Can't wait to come back!
