12 Best Cocktail Bars in Asheville, North Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"Whiskey fiends, this is the spot. Look carefully for this blank-faced speakeasy; the reward is a part-Victorian, part-gothic, hodge podge of vintage furniture and ornate lamps, decked with walls of dried flowers and animal skulls. Bar owner Casey Campfield created the space as a testimony to her passion for cocktails and fine whiskey — and that’s apparent with a selection of more than 600 whiskeys, plus fun and freaky spins on the classics, such as the Old Fashioned smoked with Cavendish tobacco. For those with cash to spare, there’s also a separate menu of top-shelf cocktails that show off the bar’s towering and niche collection of spirits." - Laura Hackett
