    Spacious
    Jeff N.

    Having more of a sophisticated coffee house vibe than a brewhouse or cocktail bar, The Station operates like all three. Depending on what time of day or what you're in the mood for a beverage, the Station offers a nice selection of options. We enjoyed our drinks at one of the outside tables on the sidewalk, which had a nice shade from the sunlight. The chocolate chip cookie and the Tahitian vanilla cold brew was quite lovely.

    Great prices for quality drinks. Bartender was efficient, friends, and had great recs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Young and older crowds, quiet and chill with mountain views from outside[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    You know what makes a great espresso martini? Great espresso. And this place clearly understands that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Exceptional coffee and cocktails beyond the espresso martini in a warm, cozy corner tucked into downtown Black Mountain.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The perfect respite for caffeine, a cocktail, or a bit of both. Friendly staff makes it even more lovely.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a cute and unexpected spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice, healthy portioned drinks, and a fun vibe overall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm not an espresso martini person, but the one the bartender was making smelled so good, I almost had one!

    Espresso, martini, and a local brew

    Of course I had to come here to check out that espresso martini because I've been hearing about it. Super cool location in downtown Black Mountain on the corner. They did such a good job in appearance and aesthetics. Inside is very beautiful and they really made the space work. It feels modern and hip and fun. Spacious which makes it seem a little more like drop by/bar hop and not very cozy so I wouldn't wanna make this my neighborhood spot. More like a little happy hour drop by. But that's certainly serves a purpose too. Great windows for epic people watching. I love their signage and what they offer. It is mostly just some simple cocktails, as well as beers on draft. Quite expensive, but that's on par for this part of town. The espresso martini was absolutely delicious. The fresh pulled espresso really made it an absolute hit. The bartender seemed quite experienced and was very friendly.

    Barely does this place justice!

    Great selection of bourbons, excellent coffee and fantastic service. Don't miss this gem!

    If you are looking for a to die for espresso martini in black mountain this is the place to go. The bartenders were lovely and very informative (this was my first espresso martini!), the ambiance was very light and calming, and there was cute merchandise you could also buy inside. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Would easily recommend and can't wait to come back!

    Their real espresso martini is to die for.mmmmmm

    Happened upon the really cool new cocktail bar here in Black Mountain. The employees are super friendly and the drinks are phenomenal. Prices are amazing. You need to come check it out.

It is simply decorated on the inside and outside of the space. They have an upstairs and downstairs outdoor seating area. They also have indoor seating upstairs and downstairs. It looked like they have a little grab and go bakery / coffee spot inside. Service: The service was great. All the people we met were so friendly and helpful. The place was very clean and well maintained. Food: We were blown away by the food. I was amazed by what we ordered. My husband had their 'Monte Cristo' sandwich and LOVED it. He said it was the best sandwich he's ever had. I had their 'Catfish & Grits' which were delicious. It was packed with so much flavor. I loved the pickled onions that came on top of the dish. The catfish and grits dish hit all the tasting notes. It was sweet, savory, and a little sour with the pickled onions. I LOVED it. We will definitely be back during our trip in North Carolina. We've been to several Michelin star and recommended restaurants and Pure & Proper should be on the list!

We recently popped in yesterday after securing a reservation via Resy to celebrate our anniversary. We were seated at our table with a thoughtful handwritten card thanking us for celebrating with them! Our waitress was fantastic, and they even provided us with complimentary bubbly half pours to commemorate the milestone. Between the two of us, we split the cheeseboard, Brussels sprouts (which are so unique, and one of our favs!), and the poutine. The cheeseboard really is a nice way to kick off the meal, and highly recommend it--so many goodies to choose from. I love how Resy also allows you to specify where in the restaurant you'd like to sit depending on availability--we went with the high top nook spot, which is really special/cozy for two people. Parking is a breeze--even if their lot is full, the post office lot/tyson lot is just a short walk (and it's still not paid parking anywhere downtown).

Every time we go, I'm kind of shocked it's not absolutely packed. This is part of the Foothills Meats family, and if you know their spots (the butcher shop, the food truck, The Grange, etc.), you already know--they don't miss. So we went in the first time pretty confident, and they absolutely delivered. The space itself is great, but the rooftop is the real standout--easily one of the best views in Black Mountain. It's such a good spot to sit, have a drink, and hang out. Speaking of drinks--the bar is excellent. The bartenders have always been great, super easy to sit at the bar and enjoy yourself. They've got a strong liquor selection and fun, well-balanced cocktails. Now the food. Everything we've had has been consistently good, but our last visit really stood out. We shared the pork katsu sandwich, the sweet potato biscuits, and the poutine. The pork katsu was done really well--crispy on the outside, tender inside, with that classic crunch from the cabbage and a slightly sweet, tangy katsu-style sauce. I also really liked that the sauce was on the side so you could control each bite. The sweet potato biscuits surprised us--in the best way. Those are easy to mess up, and these were not. Soft, flavorful, slightly sweet with that savory balance, paired with ham, sorghum butter, smoked cheddar, and red eye gravy--it's a really thoughtful combination that just works. And the poutine... so good. Crispy fries, rich mushroom gravy, and cheese curds that actually hold their texture. It's hearty without being heavy, and every bite felt balanced. For the level of quality they're putting out, the prices are very reasonable--which makes it even more surprising that it's not more crowded. It's right in downtown Black Mountain, but we actually drive all the way from Flat Rock to come here--and it's absolutely worth it every time. Overall, this place just nails it. Great drinks, really solid food, beautiful setting--and somehow still flying a bit under the radar. Definitely worth checking out.

The restaurant and patio bar are within walking distance to other spots in downtown Black Mountain, easily walkable if you are staying at an Airbnb in the local area like we were. The cocktails were glorious. On the first night, Puck's Potion and Negroni were very enjoyable. We found ourselves at the outdoor bar with the patio behind us, surrounded by quaint shops offering various retail and service options. The bartender that served us was super cool on the first night. We didn't have to wait for stools and enjoyed our cocktails on high-top seats. The second time we went, which was our last night in town, we had a reservation and went downstairs into the cellar. Watch your step as you descend the stairs so you don't trip.
