"Order a bourbon and grab a book at the literary-themed Character Study, a studiously appointed, literary-themed bar/lounge/library opened in West Asheville by the trio behind nationally recognized cocktail bar Little Jumbo in Montford. Shelves in the bibliophile’s dream gathering spot are stocked with used books from WAVL neighbor Bagatelle Books. Crack open a tome in a carrel (intimate library-style cubicle desks), a solo seating spot, or at the swanky bar. The drolly illustrated pages of the menu feature whimsically named cocktails like the Devil’s Dictionary and Loud Sweater Martini, four study snifters priced by the ounce, and thoughtfully crafted spirit-free drinks." - Kay West
