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!

I love whiskey so much that I just happened to stumble upon this amazing craft cocktail rooftop bar. You get a skyline view of downtown Asheville and delicious cocktails?! Heck yes. The ambiance is amazing and each cocktail is so unique and made with so much thought. The prices ranged from $8-$14. You won't be able to get your regular whiskey and coke here but they have their own home made syrups you can add in instead. Their menu seems to change frequently so there's always something new to try! With each cocktail, you get a key. There's a locker with small little drawers that you can unlock with your key and each one holds a snack. There's meat/cheese and crackers, brownies, peanuts and olives. Such a cute concept!!

The space itself is incredibly cool, featuring exposed concrete, a massive back bar, a vintage print shop sign, and my personal favorite--a disco ball chandelier. The bartenders were so welcoming and fantastic to chat with during our visit. They were running a super fun '90s throwback menu while we were there. If it's still available when you drop in, definitely try the "Last Time Lover" and "Smells Like Green Spirit." The Last Time Lover even came with a nostalgic butterfly clip holding a Spice Girls photo! If you're a cocktail fan, I highly recommend this spot. I'll definitely be back on my next trip to Asheville.

On my first…read moretrip back in July, I found myself coming here every night for a drink, and on this work trip I did the exact same thing. That alone should tell you everything you need to know. Their espresso martini is probably the best I've ever had -- perfectly balanced, smooth, and dangerously easy to drink. Every bartender here is incredibly knowledgeable. They can make anything you ask for and then walk you through the history and origins of the cocktail like you're getting a mini masterclass with your drink. The bar itself is beautiful, with an impressive selection of spirits and a menu full of creative cocktails featuring ingredient combinations you'd never expect to work together -- but somehow they absolutely do. It's also one of the best places in the city to sit back and people-watch while enjoying a perfectly made drink. Do not skip The Times -- honestly, it's worth going out of your way to stop there.

I do wish they had more of a variety of meats for the board, but everything was exceptional! I will say the grapes weren't the freshest, but everything else makes up for it! I do like their hummus that we got for the side and the martini is delicious as always, can't go wrong with that! They had seasoned roasted macadamias and those were very yummy!! The walnuts tasted freshly cracked and not bitter whatsoever and service is great! While exploring around I found out the book I just read has a sequel because of their displays, so that was neat! There was live music and the space was bigger than I had expected, upstairs with children's, games, and history!

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!
