12 Best Cocktail Bars in Asheville, North Carolina | Eater Carolinas
"Down to the shape of the ice, the bartenders at this pre-prohibition-themed lounge never lose focus of the crucial details that make up an outstanding craft cocktail, no matter if the customer needs a zippy gin pick-me-up, an old-school punch, or an 1800s-era whiskey concoction. Under bar manager Kala Brooks’ purvey, this means freshly squeezed juices and housemade bitters, tinctures, sodas, drams, and shrubs. The atmosphere is equally as sophisticated, nestled on a private third floor above the Thirsty Monk brewpub and with its own rooftop patio, which makes for a subdued, intimate respite from the crowds that frequent the brewery below." - Laura Hackett
