I finally checked out Benitos' @ The Hound Lounge on Tunnel Road last night for drinks and dinner…read more The Hound is just east of the tunnel and it was the former Greyhound Bus station. I was a huge fan of RosaBees and their Chef - Cookie Hadley so it was my goal to try Benito's ASAP. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, my friend Marissa and I sat at the bar and enjoyed some lively chatting with other patrons. If you were familiar with RosaBees in the RAD, the menu will seem familiar, loaded with great choices and creativity. Marissa ordered the Patata's Bravos - Roasted potatoes , olive oils and Bravas sauce - $9. I chose the Big A** Tuna Poke bowl for $22. Toss in one of their special Margarita's and a draft beer we left very happy customers. Check out this hidden gem for some excellent food and drinks. They also had duo band playing music outside during Happy Hour.

We stayed on the main floor since the host seated us there, but later realized you can order at the bar and take your drinks up to the rooftop--something I wish we knew earlier. The bartenders were pleasant and laid-back, not pretentious at all. The cocktails were inventive and well-crafted. I went with the Coffee Date and Lord of Misrule--pretty good--but in hindsight, I wish I had tried more of their Fever-Tree and Chemist collaborations, which sounded especially interesting.

Every corner is styled like its own unique vintage living room, with incredible attention paid to every single design element. Definitely take a lap around the entire space to soak in the full vibe! Do yourself a favor and check out their merch while you're at it; it's top-notch. The bar staff was incredibly welcoming and mixed up some phenomenal drinks. Both "The Death Becomes Her" and "He Likes To Call Me Peaches" were fantastic. They also have a massive events area and were promoting a ton of cool stuff--including a live dating show where people pitch their friends to potential dates! This was my first visit, but it certainly won't be my last.

This cocktail bar is a MUST on an Asheville trip. I wish we had this in my city! I absolutely loved…read moreDayTrip. The vibes are incredible. There is a free parking lot in the back. There is tons of seating indoors and a cute backyard feeling outdoor patio. Even though it's a huge space, it's extremely intimate. The 70s living room decor is so cute. I came here with two friends, but it's also awesome for bigger groups. They have an amazing menu of signature cocktails and mocktails. We were there on an evening they were celebrating a bday with Hail Mary. They seem to have a lot of cool local events. The bartenders were amazing! They were beyond friendly and just so down to earth. We went straight to the indoor bar when we arrived and were served almost immediately. I want to plan another trip to AVL soon just so I can spend more time at DayTrip.

It's located in a basement, but it's a really cool dim lit cozy bar with bar seats as well as two sections on either sides for larger groups.

Highly recommend checking out if you are downtown.

Terrible experience. The mixologist was brand new and, per her, was a bartender from a "dive bar"…read moreand was just annoyed by the menu. That admission translated perfectly to our drinks: a "summer special" margarita variation was all lime juice; my whiskey-based thing was... well I'm not sure what it was.

Walking in the door, it feels like you step back in time and the attention to detail in the design is top notch. You order from the bar and the staff was friendly and inviting.

Once we walked in, it felt like we went back in time and it was very whimsical. Our bartender Nick was amazing and so personable. They had an extensive wall of all kinds of liquor and I loved how it was all spread out and not neat and tidy. You could tell Nick was very knowledgeable and had passion for the mixology of cocktails. He made a killer smoked old fashioned and kept us company. We enjoyed the vibe even though it wasn't busy but Nick really made it a great time!

We initially started inside, but the amazing staff was incredibly accommodating and managed to move us out to the patio. Trust me, the mountain views from this rooftop are simply stunning and not to be missed. The service is absolute top-notch. We stuck to drinks and light bites, and their signature cocktails completely stole the show. Highly recommend trying: Paper Lantern, White Pepper Lady, Closing Hour Sour, Espresso Martini, Velvet Select. We also snacked on the truffle fries, which were super tasty. While we didn't stay for a full dinner, every plate walking past our table looked delicious. This place is a total must-stop for the views and the vibes alone!
