Craft cocktails, live jazz, and a cozy 1920s vibe await
"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
"This intimate North Asheville bar was well ahead of the NA boom, with mocktails — or as co-owner Chall Gray prefers, spirit-free cocktails — on the menu since it opened in 2017. Bartenders continue to collaborate on new, seasonal, and cleverly named concoctions, like Fire Walk With Me (Seedlip Grove 42, falernum, lime, orgeat, and habanero)." - Kay West
"I note that at Little Jumbo you can listen to live jazz on Mondays and experimental sets by Musica Universalis on Tuesdays, enjoy DJ dance parties on select Saturdays, and grab tacos from the Taco Billy food truck out back most nights." - AFAR
"Little Jumbo is a sweet spot to close out the day with craft cocktails, including some offered with fancy table service." - Gina Smith
"A thoughtful space, Little Jumbo is a neighborhood bar that hits the sweet spot in terms of price for quality drinks. Settle into the velvet couch with a signature house cocktail in hand for a night of jazz or other live music. For a well-balanced drink, order The Happy Moment." - MATADOR_NETWORK
