Best Nightlife in Blue Ridge Mountains

"Dark wood floors, muted yellow walls, bistro tables topped with flowers and additional sidewalk seating give this eatery upscale appeal. The kitchen serves tantalizing breakfasts such as New Orleans-style French toast, sweet potato pancakes and omelets with complimentary hot biscuits all day. Dinner options include shrimp and grits, nutty fried chicken with mashed sweet potatoes, and a veggie plate that might include organic honey-glazed carrots, marinated grilled tofu or candied ginger cornbread with peanut butter."

"The folks at Burial Beer invite beer drinkers to partake in experimental beer drinking. They implement new recipes and tweak their old ones until they’re perfect. Make sure you go on the weekend– they nearly always have a special release!"

"Despite being a bit morbid with its name and décor, Burial Brewery offers up good beer and a great place to enjoy it. Their outdoor patio is small but enjoyable for an afternoon of beer tasting."

"White Duck is a trendy a la carte taco shop where you can mix and match all sorts of eclectic tacos. First off, start with their chips and queso – the best app!. If your visit falls during the winter, be sure to try out the Southwest corn chowder soup."

"Hi-Wire Brewing, which opened in 2013 soon after Wicked Weed, has become one of the more established breweries in Asheville. Since then, Hi-Wire has opened a second Asheville location as well as spots in Durham and Knoxville, TN. The circus-themed brewery produces a wide variety of beers but has earned acclaim for its tart kettle sours, complex wild ales, and easy-drinking lagers. Hi-Wire is a fundamental part of the Asheville community and is worth a visit any time you’re in town."

"Hi-Wire Brewing’s passion for craft beer shines through in every brew they create, making it one of the best breweries near Asheville, NC. They have a light-hearted circus theme that embodies the fun and creative aspect of the craft. Their beers can be found around the area at bars and restaurants, and their tasting room is always a good time. Just keep an eye out for the building that’s painted in rainbow colors– once you see it, you’re in the right place!"

"The rainbow mural outside of High Wire really catches your eye when you enter the brewery. The inside has more of an industrial feel with high ceilings, an open taproom and a good amount of seating. They have all sorts of board games to keep you entertained, as well as corn hole and pinball."

"Hillman’s small space packs quite a punch thanks to a large front porch and garage doors that connect the two spaces on pleasant days. They also share the space with Rise Above Deli, which makes everything from scratch on-site, including killer Reubens, pastramis, and falafels. Even if you’re not hungry, split a pig missile—a pretzel stuffed with brat and sauerkraut—while you work your way through their 15 in-house beers."

"Hillman Beer is another awesome brewery with food in Asheville. Their Asheville location has a distinct pub-like atmosphere with indoor/outdoor space for you to gather with family or friends. (They have a location in Old Fort, NC as well)."

"Brought to you by the makers of Burial Beer, Forestry Camp is both restaurant, brewery and bar. They have a great indoor space that feels like you’ve stepped into a lodge at a National Park. (The buildings actually were constructed by the US Government and housed workers from the CCC who helped out on numerous projects including our beloved Blue Ridge Parkway)."

"Located in West Asheville, the Whale has a great neighborhood vibe as well as a ton of cool, hard-to-find beers from all over the world. Though they’re not a brewery they’ll also often have a collaboration beer or two on tap which means that on any given day you never know what you might find at the Whale. It keeps things interesting and keeps people coming back for more."

"Dubbed "New Agrarian," Cultura in Asheville’s up-and-coming South Slope celebrates old-world techniques and communal feasts. Choose from small plates like lobster crudo with black sesame, turnips and seaweed, or octopus with inked rice and cultured coconut, or go full-on with one of the signature family-style Bacchanal feasts like the Swiss Chalet fondue bowl, Colonel Hester’s Bucket of Birds smoked and fried chicken, or the Racks on Racks baby backs served with a seasonal bounty."

"Although not technically one of the ‘official’ Asheville museums, Riverside Cemetery is a historic landmark in Asheville’s Montford neighborhood. Walk the 3.5 miles of paved roads in this beautiful Victorian cemetery, especially if you visited the downtown Thomas Wolfe Memorial. Opened in 1885, Riverside Cemetery encompasses 87 acres of picturesque grounds filled with flowers overlooking the French Broad River."
