12 Best Cocktail Bars in Asheville, North Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"This mahogany-adorned, copper ceilinged 1920s-era building is the only cocktail bar in Five Points and thus exudes the calm refuge that only a sequestered, warmly lit neighborhood bar can offer. Take your time with the menu, which centers on classic and reimagined renditions of Old Fashioneds, negronis, and gin and tonics — plus a special drinks-for-two service (complete with accouterment) for the Japanese highball, Manhattan, and Havana. Most days of the week, visitors may enjoy plenty of elbow room at the bar — but on Monday night the weekly jazz band performance transforms the space into a packed, standing-room-only nightclub." - Laura Hackett
