Do you remember & like the show Cheers? Then you've found your haven. By far, one of the best pubs in Asheville. This is an institution.

Great atmosphere and beers. The fried pickle chips were fantastic. Didn't care much for the dinner entrees but they were reasonably priced and locally sourced. Delicious creme brulee though!

Great beer and Irish food here. Trad music is phenominal, but if you are a hand tapper like me, take your rings off first so as not to make noise...it throws off the musicians. Loved the Scotch eggs!

Excellent cheese fries and ranch dressing. Their veggie board is also quite smashing!

Rabbit ragout was by far the best thing I've eaten in five days in Asheville. Amazing!

Probably the best cod I've ever had. It was most delicious accompanied by the white alagash beer I chose:)

Sunday Traditional Irish music starting at 5 o'clock! Also, try the homage barbecue chips and jalapeño cheese dip!

This Celtic-style pub is the original home of Green Man Brewing and other hand-crafted English ales.

Green Man Porter is awesome. Toasted coffee aroma, nutty flavor with chocolate finish, good smooth mouthfeel, nice lacing on the glass. Try one!
Todd RademacherDecember 21, 2014
Great atmosphere. Good selection of beer. Live music is generally very good.

The live music here can be tricky to see but I come here for the nachos!
Ashley SpearsDecember 1, 2014
The beer is good but dear God please get the Buffalo meat nachos. They deep fry the jalapeño slices!
Megan SelbyApril 3, 2015
Great prices on beer. Fish and chips just ok. Bison nachos are ridiculous!

Asheville's first no-smoking bar. Great open mic nights. Check out their pseudo house band "Sons of Ralph" an Asheville icon.
