Top Bars & Pubs In and Around Asheville
Best Bars & Pubs in Asheville: Where to Grab a Drink Beyond Craft Beer
It’s no secret—Asheville ranks #2 in the country for breweries per capita, and as Beer City USA, our craft beer scene is unmatched. But let’s be real—not everyone is here for the IPAs and barrel-aged stouts. If you’re looking for a place to kick back with a classic cocktail, a whiskey neat, or even (whisper it) a PBR, Asheville’s got you covered.
Downtown Asheville is home to a diverse mix of bars and pubs, from laid-back dives to lively spots where you can watch the game, play pool, or challenge friends to a round of cornhole or arcade games. Whether you want to sip a local brew or stick with the classics like Miller and Budweiser, you’ll find the perfect place to unwind.
