12 Stops for Outstanding Cocktails in Asheville

"The sweet, toasty rainbow of rum is meant to be celebrated at this unfussy and reliable late-night lounge, which offers flights of everything from añejo to British navy rum, plus drinks like the mai tai, mojito, and Horned Screamer (made with pineapple rum, Campari, and lime). Perched on a quiet street near the South Slope neighborhood, Storm is a popular hangout for third shift and service industry workers, and after the nearby Orange Peel wraps up a show it also tends to fill up with a crowd of concertgoers and musicians." - Laura Hackett
