Really love this dive tiki bar. The staff is laid back but very attentive and nice. The cocktails are fun and delicious! This bar has become a spot we have to hit up every time we visit.

Very fun, vibrant, energetic spot! I stopped by here during a solo bar hop; it was really close to where I was staying. It was early Sunday afternoon and I actually had trouble finding a spot, but I ended up ordering at the counter and sitting right up front by the entrance/window. I was really tempted by their menu (they have some fun/entertaining options) but I ended up sticking with a glass of prosecco. Bartender was nice and friendly, poured my glass immediately- It was nice and crisp, chilled, just how I like it. I really liked the atmosphere here; loud, everyone having a good time. Next time I would probably try one of their cocktails.

Very odd place, but I really enjoyed it. It's a place for professional drinkers, so if you are expecting a grande latte pale ale this isn't the place. Within crawling distance of our hotel. We visited this bar more than any other in Asheville

The dive in Asheville! Good prices food people. Metal and vintage vibes. Just the right amount of sketch to hipster ratio. Love it !

“The most affordable bar in downtown” Asheville and that includes the 1 membership fee. Quick drinks. Quick service. Great bar with strangeness to spare.

Wonderful local joint. Killer background rock music. Makes me feel like I'm in cyberpunk 2077's secret club. Best craft drinks in Asheville! Friendly staff and patrons.

It was nice to find a little dive bar in the middle of all the overpriced junk around. Tiki theme was on point and the music brought me back to my gutter punk days and so did all the people drinking PBR. Their drink menu was awesome!
