We ate inside. We shared the angel hair onion rings and we each had a salad. Dressings are made in house. I had the Chipotle mayo (it had some heat in it) and my wife had balsamic vinaigrette. I had the Green Man Porter. All were great! I'm giving the food the 5 stars. Only thing I don't like is that noisy beeper. Everybody turns and looks at you when it goes off. That needs to go. Since the beeper is not edible, I'm not going to remove a star for a bad idea. :) Just bring the food to the table.

We set inside, large fans and big open doors made for a beautiful breeze that blew through. Keeping you cool and comfortable Music 5-8pm from a guitar player. Large selection of beers on tap all cold and delicious, on the beer side service was friendly and quick. We ordered food from their kitchen, my husband had a mixed leafy green salad-(lots of arugula) he added a piece of Salmon on top. Salad was first served with zero dressing (yuk) my husband took it back had salad dressing added he said it was good. I had the wings (teriyaki), they were hot, crispy and delicious. I will definitely.order them again. On the bar side - Trailside bartender was "unfriendly" several in our party ordered sodas and mixed drinks, the woman bartender was indifferent with an attitude, like it was a bother to take a drink order. I returned for a refill of soda and was told nastily "$3 we don't do refills" WOW! Really??? No need to be nasty I didn't know and last time I was there the bartender happily refilled my soda-(which was mostly ice) Obviously this lady dislikes her job! No matter how fun or nice a place is or how good the food, if service is lacking or server gives a negative attitude people won't return. I would give 5 stars to Trailside Brewing if service would have been friendly and smiled.

In the 1.5 years since, it's still the place I most often come back to in Hendersonville, despite sampling the food and beer at basically every place in town! I love the ambiance of the old converted gas station, the fact that you can sit inside or outside (and on chilly days, they don't skimp on the heaters) and the carousel of great food trucks that are always there. I love that you're not limited to one brewery's offerings, and instead have options from local NC establishments to interesting brews from all over the country. The bartenders know their regulars and are absolutely awesome, and I LOVE that I can take my pup, take my family, take my laptop---whatever the circumstances, Blue Ridge Beer Garden is the place to be. ALSO, it should be noted that in sleepy Hendo (where some restaurants close as early as 8 pm--why??), Blue Ridge Beer Garden is blessedly open till 10.

My best friend and I were in West Asheville looking for a spot in between dinner and our late…read moreevening cocktail bar. The original spot we wanted to check out was closed, so The Whale was such a perfect last second gem for us. We went on a Thursday evening and they had live DJs in the outdoor section which was so nice. We ordered our drinks inside with a very kind bartender. They had a variety of beers from all over to choose from. It seemed to be attached to Haywood Common Kitchen, so you can get food from there. My best friend got a beer she enjoyed and I tried a unique sour. The outdoor seating was plentiful and there were a lot of people enjoying the great weather and music. I'd recommend this spot.

I attended the final World Cup watch party outside in the pitch. I asked the guy working the tent…read morewith the coolers which flavors of Fruit Smash they had because I wanted to choose one I would actually enjoy. The guy working immediately came across as irritated. He told me they had just dumped the cans into the cooler and didn't know what flavors were in there. He then glanced over at the cooler, looked back at me, and essentially said, "Yeah, sorry, I can't tell you," without opening it or checking. I also work in hospitality, so I understand that customers ask questions that can feel repetitive or inconvenient. I'm often on the other side of the bar, and I know it can be busy. At the same time, I also understand the customer's perspective. If there are multiple flavors of a drink, it's reasonable just to want to know what's available before ordering. Most people would rather choose something they know they'll enjoy than pay for something they don't like. Instead of taking a few seconds to check, I felt like my question was treated as an inconvenience. I left feeling unwelcome, honestly a little rejected, and even embarrassed for asking what I thought was a reasonable question. I ended up ordering a beer instead, and left shortly after finishing it. My friend and I went to Green Man and had a much friendlier experience. I hope this was just an off day, but I also hope staff will take a moment to help customers with basic questions in the future. Small interactions like these can make a big difference in how welcome someone feels.
