These Bars Transform Into Tropical Escapes Each Winter

"Most of the year, this Asheville bar serves as a charming neighborhood cocktail den, but each February during the coldest Southern Appalachian snap it becomes the Tropilachia Club for one month, turning the former grocery store into a warm, rum-scented escape with a secret menu revealed only on opening night and past hits like the Itty Bitty Teeny Weeny Coconut Martini—neither itty nor weeny but irresistibly coconutty—plus creations in the vein of a spiked Vietnamese Iced Coffee, all bathed in cozy lighting for a brief but blissful vacation from winter." - Carrie Honaker
