One of our favorite downtown places. Upscale, but not overly fancy. Wide variety of menu choices, reasonably priced. Split level, lots of T.V.s for game watching. Full bar, so good place for cocktails, too.

Sightseeing

Best place to have an after or before dinner drink; best view of downtown Asheville. Very impressive, historic building/grounds. A little pricey, but worth it.

Even if you don’t enjoy looking at big, old mansions, the grounds are beautiful, the winery is lovely, and the restaurants are awesome!

Entertainment & Activities

Our minor league baseball team. A historic (Babe Ruth played here!) yet modern ballpark, a fun place to see a game. Thirsty Thursdays are a blast. Good, clean, cheap fun!

Shopping

Maybe the 2nd most visited place after Biltmore. Something for everybody. Old timey, fun, touristy stuff, and some really nice, high quality clothes. Very serious camping/ hiking/ outdoors center on lower level. Don't leave town with out checking it out.

Amazing artistry by local craftspersons. But don't go to the store- go to the museum store on the Blue Ridge Parkway (not far). Most of us can't afford to buy anything, but the browsing will blow your mind!
