Rankin Vault Cocktail Lounge

Restaurant · Asheville

@eater

"This late-night staple of Asheville since 2008 — which yes, really used to be a bank vault — is tucked off a main corridor of downtown and attracts a wide cross-section of the city with its potent margaritas, specialty martinis, and reliable mixed drinks. The interior is spacious and there’s also a small sidewalk patio that’s great for people-watching. Warning: Both spots do tend to fill up with a rowdy crowd in the late hours. It’s advised to sop up all that liquor with one of the Vault Burgers, which routinely wins recognition as one of the best burgers in Asheville." - Laura Hackett
