"Most of the time, if someone openly declares themselves “weird” or “quirky,” it’s more indicative of how they wish to be seen than of any true idiosyncrasies. West Asheville’s The Odd (formerly The Odditorium), however, holds up their end of the bargain, in spades. Sure, there are drag shows, burlesque nights, and comedy events; there’s live music ranging from Appalachian folk to punk to rap; there’s even an authentic Zoltar. But the true peculiarity of the space is a bit more subtle. The curios strewn about The Odd don’t complement the decor—they are the decor. Taxidermied foxes, bats, and raccoons, jarred snakes, and the skeletons and skulls of unidentified animals gaze down at patrons. There’s a Lost Boys poster signed by Tim Capello, disembodied dolls’ heads, and a jar of dirt allegedly from the home of John Wayne Gacy. Rounding things out is a beautifully spherical, 17th-century bezoar of unknown provenance roughly the size of a candlepin ball. Between black walls saturated in red and purple lighting, a parade of entertainers, and an amiable bar staff who do little to conceal their own personal quirks, The Odd can feel as if Ripley’s Believe It Or Not collided with the backstage of a high school drama-club production. Abstract murals doused across the walls lining an outdoor space strike a colorful through line, as do cocktails with names like RedRume, Merman’s Glitterade, Radioactive Unicorn Tears, and Attack of the 50 Foot Flamingo (some costing $6.66). Food options linger in the proudly lowbrow realm of burgers, sloppy joes, and french fries, for those whose appetites are immune to varying states of taxidermy.

This was such a fun and lively place. We were there this past Friday for their drag show. We were in town for a wedding. Every one was so kind. This is a very lively place. Great food and good drinks! I recommend the Philly, fries, jalapeño poppers, the sampler so you can try everything 😋 All of their food is really good! We will definitely be back! Side note: they do not have the Nachos anymore 😔

Holy hell this is my favorite place forever. I just GOT MARRIED & had my reception at The Odd! So my experience may be different than a quick visit but I PROMISE you will love this place. Tamy and every single person I had the pleasure of dealing with throughout my wedding planning was a total dream team. THE FOOD AND DRINKS - to DIE for! Like literally the best ever. No one could stop talking about it. Everyone is so beyond kind and welcoming and I felt so happy just stepping foot into The Odd. Cheers to MANY more visits throughout our years. This place will hold a special spot in my heart forever. Okay I’m getting mushy - but - just go. It’s all around the neatest place with the most AMAZING staff ever.

I was only passing through Asheville for the night and going to the Odd was the perfect way to spend it. Awesome punk-rock venue with oddities throughout the space. Paid $10 cover for live music and crushed a smackin good bacon cheeseburger. Washed it all down with a beer & shot special at a decent price. My kind of place.

Let me just say something. The precious person that I met today gave me hope in humanity. She is the manager of the Odd Bar, and I guarantee you will not find a better person in the world. Thank you for such a wonderful experience today. Try the radioactive unicorn and go in for an amazing atmosphere and a wonderful person behind the bar ❤️

The Odd is very... well, odd. And that's what makes it stand out from the rest. Ate there a few weeks ago & our steak sandwiches were fabulous!!! The drinks are delicious & fun. The events? I have attended an evening of everything Viking, including honey mead, & a Renaissance Fair there, pre-Pandemic. A great place to go if you want to get out of your comfort zone, see life from another perspective, and well, BE WEIRD!!!
