"The sweet, toasty rainbow of rum is meant to be celebrated at this unfussy and reliable late-night lounge, which offers flights of everything from añejo to British navy rum, plus drinks like the mai tai, mojito, and Horned Screamer (made with pineapple rum, Campari, and lime). Perched on a quiet street near the South Slope neighborhood, Storm is a popular hangout for third shift and service industry workers, and after the nearby Orange Peel wraps up a show it also tends to fill up with a crowd of concertgoers and musicians." - Laura Hackett

Walked in on a self love night. I was greeted at the door and asked where to be seated. I chose to sit in the bar near the window. Max greeted me in a friendly manner with some water, I ordered the rhum cocktail. Max helped with a few selections as I’m also gluten intolerant(menu states dishes can be altered for allergy) I ordered shrimp ceviche. The drink and food paired perfectly together as they both had a spice to them. Overall service was great, food was quick and delicious, ambiance was calm and cozy.

Had late night, industry hour, snacks at this restaurant, and to my surprise, it was lively and vibrant. I definitely enjoyed my first smash burger and the cocktails were great.

Check out the fried bologna, pickled asparagus, with a soft boiled egg and adorable, edible flowers for garnish. It's a beautifully delicious snickety snack! The duck pho'rench dip is delectable and juicy. Their craft cocktail list is mouth watering. Pictured here is the pink smoke beverage. It's such a funky, chill vibe. The patio is pretty at night, when it's lit up. Each menu is filled with originality. Brandon is a magical bartender, but I definitely missed Charlie with all his fun sass. Jay, thanks for always making food fantastically fun and having a superior kitchen crew! Support locally owned restaurants.

This was a great place for pre-dinner drinks and snacks. Super cool vibe and lots of rum options. We had the pimento goat cheese and deviled eggs and both were amazing!

Amazing place with great service. Will go back here again. The smash burgers were fantastic. The meatloaf is some of the best I have ever had. Love their cerviche. I am very finicky about my cerviche and this was over the tip goodness. Go here you will not be disappointed.

I've gotten late night food here twice now, and loved it both times. Didn't like the salmon deviled eggs we got on the side, but I think that's just preference and not quality, because they do great stuff! Love that the late night menu rotates, makes it a fun place to stop by if you're downtown late. First time I got ribs with jelly and feta cheese. I got it because it seemed odd and I'd never seen anything like it on a menu, IT WAS SCRUMPTIOUS. Blew my mind. Got the burger the second time and it was fantastic. Classic but super well executed. Great fries too.

Starting with the location in a corner. With a nice entrance to left. Host will welcome you reservations are recommended but not mandatory if your plans are flexible you might get lucky and get a space at the bar or one of the tables. We had the Valentine’s Special! Waitress was very sweet and kind. While waiting for our food we had a cocktail and a bourbon flight. We had a salad, salon with noodles and the second dish was a steak very tender. Lastly a Mexican chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream! It had a hint of spice.

Absolutely Fabulous! I have never had such a deliciously unique meal in my life. I ordered one of the rum flights to broaden my knowledge of different rums, followed by the brisket mexican pizza for my appetizer, which was excellent. For my main entree I am so glad that I ordered the pan roasted duck, the intricate flavor pairing in that dish was phenomenal. And even though I ate every crumb on my plate I couldn't pass up the peach and blackberry cobbler for dessert, which include a fresh house made (I'm assuming) cream on top. So good. The staff was amazing, the decor is wonderful, everything is top notch. Eat here.

What a cool vibe in this place with some really cool eclectic food pairings to make some really tasty eats. Arrived in Asheville and it took forever to get the rental so by the time we were out most places were open but stopped serving food. We finally found this place and it's perfect for late night eats. Prices were on point. Between $11 and $17 per plate. We had the Mt Dew Red wings, soup and corned chicken sandwich. The wings were BOMB. The sauce was full of flavor. Soup was just ok unfortunately. The chick sand was really cool. The chicken was cooked in the same manner as corned beef and you could taste it!!! The French fries were perfect too. Jason was our server. Good kid that put up with all our questions and provided excellent service.

Late night! Early morning?! Whatever the occasion is that finds you in Asheville at 12:54am needing high quality bar food, craft cocktails, exceptional local draft selections and 'restaurant week' worthy meals (even after midnight) do yourself a favor and hurry down to Lexington Ave. This Elite yelper's first trip will not be her last...

Still one of my favorite date places. Great ambience, beautiful, twinkling lights, nice, indoor and outdoor seating, and never super busy. I need to go back for food again but this past weekend we grabbed a drink. Wish they had Red Bull in their fire but otherwise they have a wonderful selection. It's so nice getting some rum then I fell in love with in Nicaragua.

After living in Asheville for 6 years, I'm surprised how Storm Rhum Bar flew under my radar for so long. Let me save you the trouble, if you are considering going - GO! NOW! You won't regret it! Storm Rhum Bar is special. I chose Storm Rhum to celebrate my husband's birthday, after seeing an acquaintance and food writer, Stu Helm, post about how darn good the Meatloaf Sandwich there was. I was almost 30 minutes late for an early reservation, but the host at the desk greeted me warmly, smiled, welcomed me by name AND wished my husband a happy birthday. (You would be surprised how many restaurants in town have not acknowledged a simple reservation note like this, so great job Storm!) Storm Rhum Bar's main dinner menu is fascinating. The first two starters on the menu tell the story: "Hillybilly Meat and Cheese Board" (spam, pickled eggs, chow chow, pimento cheese, Ritz crackers and cheerwine jelly) - followed directly below it by "Artisan Cheese and Charcuterie Plate." In a nut shell, Storm Rhum offers some extremely well-prepared, elevated versions of Southern comfort food while in the same breath, offering some very refined, excellent dishes that are more globally inspired. Which is exactly why I was so charmed by this restaurant! Chef Jay happened to be in the dining room and we were able to chat with him a bit about the menu. It changes often, which I love as a resident. I ordered the "Grilled Wahoo" (mango chow chow, sauteed kale, in a coconut pineapple broth) and of course hubby ordered the famed "Watusi Meatloaf Sandwich" (hashbrown, cheddar cheese, fried egg, special sauce, arugula, texas toast). Our server continued to be attentive, but not obtrusive. When the food was delivered, it had that WOW factor. On my plate, a perfectly seared piece of wahoo in a beautiful, pineappple coconut broth. On Tom's was a meatlaof sandwich with a whole hashbrown on it and side of fries! You know that your guests are enjoying their food when you see them cutting pieces, assembling a bite and feeding it to their partner. And we did that several times! The broth for the wahoo reminded me a little of a thai curry sauce and the wahoo with the sauce and mango chow chow were delicious. The meatloaf sandwich had a deliciously slightly spicy, intriguingly smokey flavor to it. It was crave-able, the kind of dish you think about the next day and into the next week! We ended the night with a very nice donut bread pudding. Storm is the kind of place you go to enjoy truly unique food, that isn't too stuffy and takes itself too seriously. (Also on the menu was "Flamin Hot Cheetos Pimento Cheese"!) I love that as you read a menu description and get that mental image in your head of what the dish might taste like, that when you actually get it, it's delightful and you're not disappointed. I wanted a light seafood dish and I got it. My husband wanted some hearty Southern Comfort food and they delivered. Their menu has something for everyone. I've enjoyed many excellent restaurants in Asheville: Jargon, Rhubard, Limones, Cucina 24, etc. I will certainly add Storm Rhum into my rotation.

Stopped here for a drink & apps before dinner. We sat at the bar, which is nicely decorated. The bartender didn't give us much attention all evening, I think we spoke to him twice. Their drink menu is pretty basic, but not bad. I had a ginger mojito which was great. With it being a rum bar, I had expected some innovative rum drinks. Not terrible though. We had a cheese plate for our app. Not bad, but nothing really seemed to go together. A random assortment of berries and veggies with 3 pretty small pieces of cheese. Their entrees were limited; only 6 to choose from. I did hear about a burger special, though.

Great service and ambience in this Asheville gem. The bar scene was extremely vibrant as well as the outdoor patio areas with what appeared to be industry folks who knew each other, and people like me who had late meetings and wanted to get something substantial to eat. The menu was limited, but had many unique offerings and a great selection of beverages to accompany. The shredded duck concoction nestled inside a half a pepper was selected with a large bowl of tasty fries. The server described them as McDonald's like, but I beg to differ as they were much more tasty and not a salty. As a fry connoisseur I approved of this $6 bowl and suggest ranch dressing for dipping in addition to the ketchup that came with the order. Selected a local Burial brand beer that I had previously that evening. The milk stout was rich and tasty. Did not need to add anything as I often do - like ginger beer. My companion had the Medford Revolver and enjoyed as well. We really loved the unique pieces like old school camera and saddle bag, the lighted exterior and pictures as mentioned before. Really happy to find this late night spot and will return.

We had been to a couple of breweries in downtown Asheville and needed a late night meal. Storm Rhum Bar was open and busy! We all four had the smash brand fries, and they were delicious!! Wow! One of the best burgers I've had in a long time!! Will definitely return when in the area!

Two words: Mista Dobalina. Best cocktail I have had in quite some time. Everything on the menu is awesome comfort food in a playful and well executed manner. I had a knock off Mc rib and it was fantastic. V selection of booze is wonderful and the cocktail and Mocktail list is so impressive!

Not much is open at 11pm in Asheville on a Monday night. So I took a flier here. It was open mic night apparently and it gets a little loud. I sat at the bar and the cocktails were great. The food was awesome. Depending on the singer, music was good too. I'd come here again

Utterly fantastic! I arrived to Asheville late and the flight in was a bit rough. Now, I'm not used to bars and restaurants being open last 10 PM so I was pleasantly surprised to find the Storm Rhum Bar open at 11 PM and not closing soon. My friends and I arrived at an opportune time as it was a moment when things were taking a pause. We easily found seats at the bar and was able to put an order in before the rush came. And the rush came! The next thing we knew this place was packed. It felt like most people were bar hopping as they quickly grabbed a drink and then went on their way because throughout the late night this was the order of things - waves of people followed by moments of calm. And I can see the attraction! It has a great vibe, a fun atmosphere, and a terrific drink menu. Their rum selection is stellar! Their cocktails were wonderful. The bartenders were friendly and did their best to attend to everyone, but wow did they have a lot of work cut out for them with the waves of people! I enjoyed myself very much here!

So after a concert at The Orange Peel we found this place. What a wonderful experience! It's located behind and to the left of the Orange Peel and walking distance. The food is just right for any one's taste buds. Late night menu available! Great cocktails that pack a punch! Friendly staff and cozy place to just relax and enjoy a great meal. Gives a Speek easy vibe with low lighting, fireplace, candles lit on every table. Must check out,

Such incredible food and service!! Our waitress was attentive and friendly. The food was so unique and delicious. The stand out was the Cajun escargot by far. Would recommend to everyone!

After rolling into Asheville at 8pm we were desperate for a reasonable, yummy dinner spot, and Storm Rhum Bar fit the bill! I had the mushroom pot pie, my partner had the pork belly grilled cheese, and everything was great. I really appreciated the mocktail menu as someone who doesn't drink. Great atmosphere, cozy and comfy, and a great place to visit!

We were visiting from Florida. Don't know about parking, but food and beer are excellent. The outdoor patio is ideal in October and the local customers are cool. I will come back!

Stumbled upon this place when looking for a late night spot that was open for cocktails when I was in Asheville for my bachelorette party. As a HUGE cocktail person, I wanted something with mezcal what wasn't on the menu. I let the mixologist know what flavors I liked and she made me a drink. It was perfect, this spot is nice and chill and great for anybody looks for a good cocktail.

We were in Asheville for only one night and needed a restaurant to have dinner. Knowing we were going to stop at Bharmari Brewing, and that Storm Rhum Bar was across the street, the decision made sense to score a reservation at the latter. Both my girlfriend and I enjoyed our drinks and the food we ordered, as the experience was one of the highlights of our short stay in town. With COVID-19 measures in place, we reserved a table in advance for outside on the patio, given that we're in the middle of summer in Asheville, where the weather is gorgeous. The vibes were super chill and relaxed as was our server who took our drink and food orders, as well as ensured we had everything we needed during our stay -- we did. We ordered the Blood + Bourbon and Trouble in Paradise (TIP) cocktails. The latter, my girlfriend had, and I enjoyed more, was a delightful concoction of bourbon, Campari, grapefruit, lemon, honey, and black pepper that sang in a symphonic way. While I enjoyed the Blood + Bourbon with its use of Steel Horse whiskey meshing with blood orange and lemon, the TIP was more delicious. For dinner, we enjoyed the ceviche sampler that comprised the Halibut, Octopus, and Bay Scallops, as well as the special Red Snapper. All were very good, with my preference for the snapper and halibut, while my lady enjoyed the octopus and bay scallop the most. The grilled octopus was absolutely magical, with its frisee, pickled watermelon rind, and grilled peach chutney -- the latter was sooooooo good. Storm additionally makes some killer wings, with its green curry sauce and cilantro ranch for dipping. I savored the flats and enjoyed the drummettes. The server recommended the brownie sundae for dessert. That did not disappoint. Served with chocolate malts, popcorn, caramel, and magic, the dessert really spoke to me in a way that was powerful and poignant. From there, we moved on to Bharmari that was across the street. Therefore, if you're looking for a great spot to have some delicious goodness before getting your beer game on, come to Storm. It will change your life.

When you need a break from your beer crawl this is a great detour. Bhramari Brewery is across the street. Staff are wonderful. They have flights of rum to sample and the food is great. Also one of the places open late. Food is served until 1 am!

Storm has saved my day many times during this crazy pandemic. I don't know about the rest of you but I consider myself a socialite and love going out to local restaurants and enjoying a craft cocktail very much. I've been missing those things very much but lucky for me, and all of you locals, Storm is selling quart size mason jars of their unique and flavorful cocktail mixers. Just take it home and mix it with your favorite liquor and voila! you have a delicious and complex drink from the safety of your home. I highly, highly recommend grabbing one of these!!!

Becca C.

Yelp
This place is so underrated. Cocktails are insane - wide ranging and always well balanced (also they always have at least one spicy one ). They are *smart* which is a weird thing to say about drinks but entirely accurate. Also! Their Painkiller is what all tropical drinks when in tropical locations SHOULD taste like. The menu is so creative - and ever changing! I get the mac and cheese often because it's always different - AND AMAZING! Tonight I had the grilled dork DUCK chili replenished relleno - amaze. Brisket Mexican pizza - whoa. Elote mac n cheese - nom nom nom. Please go here. Lots. Often even.

Beer and an early dinner here on the recommendation of my friend Elizabeth. The kitchen was only open for snacks when I arrived but after a bit, I was able to order a burger. I started my nibbling with a bowl of the boiled peanuts. I've not had boiled peanuts before. I know some people eat the whole thing, but that's not my scene. Instead, I did the best I could to break open the shells and just eat the nuts inside. Tasty, quite spicy, a little messy but after washing my hands, I was ready for the next course. I chose their classic "Local Beef Burger" and didn't change anything except I swapped out the fries for a salad (hooray for keto diet). The burger was excellent. Tasty beef and the light dressing on the salad was perfect. I'd love to have eaten the bun (a grilled kaiser roll) but stuck with my program. Service at the bar was great, the restaurant is in a nice location and the food was terrific. Next time, a rum flight! [Review 12681 overall, 2473 of 2019.]

YUM! Storm was a great destination for our family dinner. We tried several appetizers, a few bottles of wine, and I had the pork chop for my entree. It was cooked PERFECTLY, and the fried okra on the side was great. Our waitress checked in at the right moments and gave us great ordering advice. The bar also served wonderful cocktails. Fantastic experience!

The first thing we noticed upon being seated was now freezing it was inside. I looked around and saw that, like us, no one else had taken off their winter jackets (I actually kept my winter hat on for most of our visit as well). Still no one took that as a hint to maybe turn the heat up. The lobster Mac appetizer was delicious and around when it was served is when I looked into the open kitchen and realized that though the waiters were wearing masks, the people preparing our food were not. We currently have a indoor mask mandate in buncombe county - I get that they are stuffy and hot and not fun to wear- but when the customers can actually see you preparing food because it's an open kitchen - come on. We both ordered the smash burgers- delicious. Might come back when the chances of shivering through our meal go down.

Yelp
We came here on a fairly busy night and the service was good- the drinks were fine- exactly what you would expect-nothing special... we unfortunately made the mistake of ordering food from the "late night menu " it was awful- we could not even eat it-I had the macaroni and cheese- bland and tasteless and was 12 dollars for a cereal sized bowl!! We also ordered tacos- they looked good- but were so so spicy nobody could eat them at all!! The only remotely edible food was the hotdogs- 2 of the "jolly" fellows in our group got those and ate them... but that was the only food that got eaten!! Never again!!

Kat H.

Always, always our late night go to in Asheville! Never disappointed. Food is always amazing and the drinks are on point! Eclectic joint that is a must try!

Yelp
I think the place recently changed ownership . Their rum selection and menu has declined. While this might be understandable given the constraints of covid, their staffing has become unacceptable. Their service is now non-existent over multiple trips in a wide variety of circumstances, large group and solo. A good concept and legacy will not save their disregard for service and quality. Do not waste your time here. Go to the wide variety of other good options. Fair point on the supply issues, but see the attitude for the kind of service you can expect.

This place is pretty good for a weekday, nice meal. We've been a few times and been one of three in the entire restaurant. In these instances the restaurant is quiet and intimate - which has been nice. The waitress is attentive and not running around because we are one of her few tables. We had a reservation once, but they didn't bother checking us in because it was empty. Food - changes often, which I really like. We typically order a veggie dish, a nice meat dish and share. The pork chop was a bit overcooked last time, so we tried the duck the next time. It was good, but not like I would order it again because I would rather try something new. The salads are always good though, especially beats and goat cheese. The decor and ambiance is nice, as it's good for groups or date nights. They serve specialty cocktails and a nice wine list, so you won't go thirsty. You can also sit at the bar if you're just drinking, it's quite large. Overall, for the price I have had better, but it is a nice spot. Not being packed in with a lot of people does make for an enjoyable evening.

A very nice visit to Storm Rhum. Enjoyed a great burger and beer. Great service and fun environment.

Brett W.

Someone local recommended this place as the best late-night food in Asheville. I'm not sure they were wrong. With a lot of other options closed or closing early, I didn't have a lot of choice. I'd go back again and again. I did have one little scare. When I sat down, I was only given a drink menu. I asked about food and was told the kitchen has just shut down their dinner service. My heart stopped. Fortunately, that statement was quickly followed by the information of a late-night service that would begin soon. The food was excellent, no matter what time or menu. The rum drinks are fun, with an ice bar in addition to those. The service was excellent. I couldn't have asked for a better experience late one rainy night.

All the food is great and so is the service. But if you are a burger person this is the place. I don't know about other nights but this is my husband and I's go to Monday night place to eat. The burger, fries and drink for $10.00 is such a deal. You can have a beer, glass of wine or soda. But its not just a deal its the fact the burger is amazing. We get the smash burger which is two patties cooked with this great char grilled flavor. The reason for the 4 instead of a 5 is the fries have gone down. They use to be crispy and for the past months they have been soggy, greasy and limp. They need to get back to a good side of fries. If you like sitting outside they have a great patio with outside lightening. In addition a nice inside bar which is where we sit either at the bar or at a bistro table. Enjoy

Only for drinks. Ordered the salmon dip. They brought the dip with a bag of Lays chips. I even need to serve the chips. Food is overpriced.

Darn covid has ruined a lot of things. One of my favorite things about Asheville is the elevated late night bar food options. Storm Rhum Bar seems to be able to continue doing that and provide a fun laid back vibe which I LOVE. They offer their food menu not a minute before 10:30pm! It was interesting because the only server that night was extremely adamant about not even allowing us to see this menu a minute before then (literally told us the manager said no until 10:30pm and it was 10 minutes to). So the better question, was it worth the wait? ""Kinda...Sorta"" Let me say, the flavors were extremely innovative and the ideas behind the food were awesome, it was the execution of it all that I wasn't all that keen on. My friend and I decided to share three items, The mac'n'cheese stroganoff, Pork Pate and Pork Loin Sandwich. It seems as though (only speculating) as if the food is prepped ahead of time and they heat it when its ordered. The Pork Pate's flavor was nothing like I personally have ever had but the outer ends were rock hard. Pate is not supposed to be anything but velvet smooth. The apple compote balanced this unique dish with toast points. The pork loin sandwich flavor was awesome but the pork itself was try. At first glance, the burn outside pieces to me were perhaps part of the charm but it was dry. The fries that came with it were just about burnt as well. The mac'n'cheese stroganoff was out of this world good - the star of the show. So why not the full 4 stars, well the service is friendly "enough" and my food was burnt. Why go back? Well, because the menu is never the same and the bar tender seems to have a great pour!

I made reservations at 7pm for party of 5 for Bachelorette party night. As soon as we got to this store, we saw a sign that tells they are closed for a private event . They didn't even bother calling me and letting me know . Disgraceful.

This place is a reliable restaurant bar. We are locals and go regularly. Good food, location, ambiance and prices. If any area needs improvement it would be the service but they are at average in that regard.

Ordered a "pizza" and was served 2 small slices for 15 dollars. Drinks taste good, but the marketing on the pizza is deceptive. Just say the meal is two slices, not a whole pizza.

The worst place ever. The servers were extremely rude and also act like they were on drugs. Never would go back.

Stephanie J.

Yelp
Our experience at Storm Rhum was A-OK. We started off with the prickly situation and pink smoke, they were both great. For a starter we went with the scallops and they tasted great and were cooked perfectly. Next we ordered the burger and pork chop. The pork chop wasn't served with much which was disappointing for the price. The service was slow too. The servers were providing great service but there were only two of them for the entire restaurant. I hope that this place continues to do well.

This place had the BEST rum selection I've ever seen! Wonderful cocktails! We had the charcuterie board and it delighted us with unique and tasty surprises. Highly recommended! If I lived in Asheville, I would be a "regular".

Matt G.

Insanely good, creative dishes. The cocktails are killer too, especially the rum drinks. Just do it!

Brian C.

Yelp
Ok, the reason to go is the rum! I had a daiquiri with Hamilton rum and it was exceptional! The rum selection is quite extensive so if that is your thing or you are willing to experiment then this is the ticket. For dinner I had the cod with crispy potatoes, asparagus and burrata. The cod was perfectly seared crispy and not over cooked with a sauce that was Devine! Our waiter was Jim, he was great!

Kerri C.

Yelp
We were in town for a night and Storm was recommended by a local we met. We have zero regrets with stopping by! First, they have a beautiful patio area, the staff is kind and attentive, not to mention the cheese curds we had were to die for and I could eat them every day. But also the drinks were delicious - we got a few cocktails, but what stood out were the rhum flights. We got the French and Venezuelan flights. Next time we pop into Asheville, we will definitely return!

Kay B.

Yelp
Good vibes all around! Unique menu and we loved everything we ordered. The cool ranch Doritos Mac and cheese was a fun twist. The cocktails are fantastic, highly recommend both the Painkiller and the Mojito. The staff was very accommodating and extremely kind to our pup! Will absolutely be back the next time we visit. Thank you so much!

Very slow service last friday night about 1130pm (09/03) could possibly be understaffed as a lot in the industry are. I was drinking Bookers at 16 a pour and wife was drinking Michters bourbon and the bill was $76. Kinda weird pricing I guess for 2 of each. Michters Bourbon is a fairly cheap selection mostly. Waited about 25 minutes for our second pour so we decided to finish our night elsewhere. Maybe caught this place on a bad night. Did not try the food so cannot speak on that.

I took an out-of-town friend to Storm Rhum last night. He's a burger fan, as am I, and I've enjoyed the burger at this South Lexington Avenue spot before. I'm a big proponent of double-patty burgers (and in Asheville Bull & Beggar has by far the best), but Storm Rhum serves the single-patty version. Nonetheless, it was pretty good. We both ordered ours cooked medium. Mine came exactly medium, but my friend's was cooked well-done. The problem with single-patty burgers, with a half pound or so of beef, is that the buns rarely can stand up to the meat. That was the case with our cheeseburgers, and we both ended up eating the burgers with knife and fork. I would guess Storm Rhum uses a sirloin-based hamburger meat, rather than the more complex combination of chuck, short rib and other cuts used by the great burger places in Atlanta and elsewhere, such as Bocado and H&F. Still, we enjoyed the atmosphere at Storm Rhum, the good service and the hand-cut fries. Storm Rhum has a good cocktail list, heavy of course on the rum drinks. Its local draft beer offering are weak and its wine choices are fairly limited. Storm Rhum has a reputation for a high noise level, but as the restaurant wasn't full last night, it wasn't too loud, and we could talk. Love the free parking (after 6 pm) at the "mural lot" across the street. With two drinks each, plus the two burger and fries plates ($16), with taxes and generous tips our tab for two came to $80.

We had a great dinner here during an anniversary trip to Asheville. While the restaurant was a bit loud due to the St. Patrick's Day crowd, our server was apologetic and both our drinks and food came out quickly. We had the pickled deviled eggs, which were perfect as a shareable app for two people and a fun twist on the traditional deviled egg. My mocktail was phenomenal, and burger and fries were tasty. My husband loved his pork chop, as well as our server's drink recommendations. Highly recommend!

I went here for to stop off with 7 of my friends as I am getting married in Sunday. We were rudely greeted by Jim who asked us not to crowd the bar as they were short staffed. We absolutely understand the situation and honored the request. As we approach the bar, the even more rude bar tender Emily said we can't serve you unless your entire party is here. I communicated to Emily that Jim and Emily are not on the same page. I approach Jim and communicated what Emily stated. He said gather all the IDs and it should be fine. It took about 5-10 mins to collect them and we approached the bar. Emily said, I can't serve you unless you all come to the bar. An absolute miscommunication. I am getting married in 3 days and was never met with upmost rudeness and disrespect. I will never come to this place again. I hope the owner reads this and takes immediate action. We even spoke to the patrons on the outside seating and they communicated the wait staff walked out on them. With Jim & Emily in any leadership capacity, I can see why.

Cool ambiance. There's nice outside seating. Service is great. The restaurant is not too crowded. The lamb tacos, pork belly, pan seared duck, and meatloaf were all phenomenal! Great portions and we all cleaned our plates because it was that good!

Only come here if youre down for Rhum shots. The cocktails here have supreme potential but execution is far off. It was a cold night when we made out way here. I like how the bar is almost surrounded by windows so maybe there potential for people watching in warmer months. We tried a whiskey drink and a gin drink Both weak, both out of balance and both unimpressive.
