This is the place to go for watching the game with fellow sports fans. The beer is cold and the server friendly. You order from the permanent food truck. We went for the Monday burger, fries and beer special. The burger is just a burger, okay but nothing to write home about. World stop in for a beverage again. read more

I attended the final World Cup watch party outside in the pitch. I asked the guy working the tent with 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. read more

Super nice crowd, great place to hang and watch the WC matches. Funny coincidence - in NYC at the France/Sweden match yesterday and approached by a NYTimes journalist writing about people's experience with the WC in America. I told her that the day before I was in Asheville watching the games at Olde London... the journalist was from Asheville and agreed- Olde London is a great place to get together to watch games! read more

The owner acts completely irrationally. She has absolutely no management skills, doesn't know how to handle the business professionally. No protocol to be followed just rudeness. If frustrated she may jump on customers like an animal with imbalanced emotions. Watch out! She may also call you names and put you in an embarrassing situation that you may never forget. I invite you all to check out her business reviews, multiple mentions of her bad business practice and unpredictable behavior. read more

I had read that this place was a bit of a dive soccer bar but had one of the best burgers in town. They have a great burger special that comes with a beer on Monday and Tuesday so we decided to give them a try. Food truck was friendly and we ordered up 2 of the specials, were given some wooden tokens to turn into the bartender for beers. Unfortunately, they could only be redeemed for a couple of canned mainstream beers and one local draft. Wish they would allow you to pay a buck or two more and allow a draft beer of choice, but it was fine. Sat at the bar and bartender never said 2 words to us, was busy chatting with some friends or locals at the other end of the bar. Burger and fries came quickly. Burger was just ok and fries were cold, so definitely no where near the best burger in town. It was a bit dry and had some basic iceberg lettuce and onion, nothing special. Finished our burgers and beers and headed somewhere else. Seems to be primarily a hangout for the locals? read more

At 10 in the morning I parked in their lot to walk across the street, not seeing any signs saying I couldn't. when I got out of my car, an older male worker came up to me and was extremely rude. He asked if I was there for a game, and I said no. he said I needed to move right now and I said okay, then he proceeded to say "you know, there's an entire road to park on." The entire encounter was so rude and totally turnt me off from their business. This man needs to learn how to get his words across in a way that isn't extremely rude. Dont go here, you're supporting mean people read more

This is one of my and my wife's favorite bars in our local neighborhood. The drink prices are very reasonable and the beer selection is always good Outside sitting area is awesome place, viewing the mountains and sunset , to imbibe a beer or mixed drink. The bartenders are uber friendly. read more

Amazing spot to watch a game! The permanent food truck on-site has amazing food. The smash burger is the best in town by a long shot. The bartenders give incredible service and treat you like a regular customer they serve weekly. Walls and ceiling are covered with soccer jerseys, scarves, flags and more TV's available to watch all the live soccer match action. Don't sleep on this spot for the next time you are looking for a real good time! read more

Been here before, and enjoyed my time. was told that 18+ could get in for the Mexico world cup game. There were no signs or anything, and we walked in and out of the building. Also my self and my friends are SOBER, we were there for the game all of us are 22 except out 20 year old friend. We were in the building to watch the game and were not trying to buy drinks at all. NO ONE was at the door to check IDs at all. There was no instruction what so ever. We were chased down and yelled at to show our IDs, then yelled at and accused of being under and trying to drink. He didn't tell us if we could sit outside or not, he just told us we had to "get the fuck out". So we sat outside to see if we could watch the game, and to ask someone. The same guy who yelled at us came out side and yelled at us, and was very rude. It was honestly really embarrassing and mean as fuck. He singled us out of everyone and accused us of being liars. Someone had told us the day before that it would be fine for our friend to come in, and no one was checking IDs at the door. I have honestly not had a worse experience at a bar, and the way that dude handled it was very inappropriate and insulting. We will not be back. read more

Great place to catch the soccer matches! Great staff, beer, cocktails & ciders on menu. Large screens to enjoy the game inside. Nice outdoor seating area as well. Food truck on location with a few breakfast options-soccer starts around 10:30am, smash burgers, fish & chips. Dog friendly and friendly game rivalry! Parking lots small but there's street parking or a short walk to a larger lot. Go Liverpool!!! read more

A good place to catch a soccer game. We were in town for an amateur soccer tournament. The boys got knocked out sooner than they expected, so we found ourselves free to watch the Arsenal game on the particular day of our visit in real time and with others. Someone in our group had discovered this spot, so here we went. It was BUSY and literally bursting with Arsenal fans. So we felt welcome and at home. There were little pockets of opposing team fans, but everyone was pretty cool and chill with each other. The bar area is SMALL and there were only 2 bartenders working. So lines for drinks were long and fairly slow moving. So we opted for one person in line getting a round for a handful of people. A small but decent offering of beers with a cider on tap as well. We enjoyed what we got and things tasted the way they should. It is a small place, but great for the purpose it served for us. Plenty of televisions and enough sound in all areas to hear what was going on. We know where to go if we find ourselves in Asheville on a premier league game day again! read more

Great for watching a soccer match with a spotted hen. Open for business. Pleasant staff. Food truck opens at 4 pm today. read more

Olde London Road Pub was okay. Being dart players, we were glad that they had a dart board. Also, they had a huge TV and a pool table. I was a little disappointed they didn't serve food. To me when I think of pub, I think of Shepherd's Pie, roast beef, Scotch eggs, and fish and chips. There was a food truck on site, but it was closed when we went. read more

Happened upon this bar as we were technically chasing the Zia Taqueria food truck that was in its parking lot. Tacos and cocktails-win win! They had a great makeshift outside seating area set up. Large picnic tables and canopy's for sun coverage. Inside had a very soccer influenced vibe. Lots of local beers on tap and cans, as well as cocktail options. The bartender was very nice and helpful as we had never been here before. Technically it is a members only joint, so one of us had to sign up (no cost) and two others could be their guest. On the bar was a sign for the days special offering- the Zia Rita. A margarita sounded good on this warm, sunny day and only a $1 more for top shelf? Sign me up! Zia's mixer was great as nicely tart and a little sweet. I demolished that cocktail quickly. I decided to switch to a beer next. Bartender helped me settle on one to my liking. I'm not from the area so I don't know if I'll ever be back, but encourage locals to check this place out if they haven't. read more

*Disclaimer: I believe the location may have changed because the address where we went was 270 Depot Street.* This was the perfect stop on our road trip up to Gatlinburg! Jason was a great bartender! He was really cool, knowledgeable, and offered recommendations based on your preferences in a way that wasn't off-putting. My friend asked me to order her a gose from the bar. When there were 2 options Jason let me take the cans outside to her so she could pick! Beyond the respectable beer selection, there was plenty of liquor to choose from as well. When we went they had a margarita on special that my friends liked. You could even have it made top shelf for a super reasonable price. There was ample outdoor seating which is crucial in these times. It was perfect weather for day drinking and some tacos provided by Zia Taqueria! P.S. If you like to watch soccer, this is the bar for you! read more

Visiting avl for the weekend and stumbled upon this while driving thru town. Then stumbled again while perusing the art district. So cool- they show premier league games 7:30am when there's a morning game (even on a Sunday!) so stoked to pop in tomorrow so we can get our Chelsea FC fix for the weekend and love to be in the atmosphere with camaraderie. Can't recommend this place enough. Good local beer and liquor if you want a cocktail. read more

This place is awesome. It's kind of hidden and off the beaten path, but's it's among all of the other attractions and restaurants in downtown. It's a cozy little British-style pub. It felt like I was going to watch an English Premiere League game at a London pub on gameday. There's darts, pool, and other games as well. There's a nice selection of drinks and they're pretty cheap too. You're not paying $7 for a beer like you are at most other places. The staff and bartenders were also super cool and friendly. This would be a great spot to watch a game. Also, it wasn't too crowded or empty, just the right amount of people as it's hidden from the drunken swarms outside. It'd sort of off the grid right now and that's a good thing. Check this place out! read more

This pub is the only place to watch premier league. Clientele is knowledgeable. Bar staff are very helpful. Big games are always a full house. They also do all cup games on all streams. For non- soccer folks that play all the US sports. Just ask and they will give you your own screen to watch read more

Love the olde london road pub. It's got a neighborhood pub feel and its usually a laid back crowd. Bartenders are friendly too. Great place to watch the game, play darts or a game of pool. Great selection on brewskis and ciders. They usually have a Zia's food truck out front too. Also super doggo friendly. Two thumbs up! read more

Cool bartender. She immediately unleashed her bad day on me and a potential customer leaves wo spending money after she nasty smoking a cig leaving the bar unattended. Should have grabbed my own drink. Kicked me out for agreeing to wearing a mask if I get up and "walk around". Bet this ain't the first time that business owner heard you cost him money. Hope you feel better. I'm at another bar now. read more

Too bad the African American bartender just wants to "do his job" and not have a conversation on a non busy day. It's a local bar, dude! I can watch the game anywhere. I went to OLR due to the camaraderie of the soccer fans and establishment. Maybe cuz I'm gay? Wtf? He told me he doesn't want to talk. We'll, dude, you're a bartender. Get out of the business! You were a total ass to me for no reason. And for all those reading, I was not an obnoxious drunk. I had 2 beers and was gonna sit for the USA men's gold cup semifinal and all I said is I'll help you wash glasses, cuz there was like 20 of em piling up. I tried to have a fun lighthearted discussion and when I asked him what was wrong, he said he didn't want to talk to me. Not sure where that came from but I'm sorry I tipped him for the first two drinks. Needless to say we imbibed elsewhere for the the game. Bye bye! Your wish is granted read more

TVs are not synchronized - "First come, first served" policy if you want the sound turned on. We had an OK experience here watching Argentina-Brazil (Copa America 7/21). The TV outside (patio) and the TV inside were not synchronized. So, we could hear people's reactions to the goals inside before seeing them on our screen (we experienced delays of 15 seconds). We couldn't sit inside because the game was in the evening, and we had the kids with us (kids are not allowed inside after 8:00 pm). However, we went back to watch another game, not as important (Argentina-Italy, Finalissima 6/1/22), and they told us they couldn't turn the sound on. The sound could only be turned on the main screen, and another game was happening simultaneously (shown on the main screen). They couldn't even turn the sound on the screen outside. They do "first come, first served," and we got there after the people who were watching the game shown on the main screen. I wasn't informed of this policy when I asked their customer service person before making plans to go, or I would have arrived earlier or chosen another place. So, I'd only go back if I can sit indoors and if I'm watching the game shown on the main screen with the sound ON. Thanks! read more

Good vibe. Bartender was nice enough however the guy I would perceive as being in charge was less than friendly. Might go back might not ... nothing memorable other than it dad a place you can actually get liquor in Asheville. read more

Great bar for watching sports and hanging out with friends. The bartenders are absolutely untrained, unprofessional and borderline racist. My wife was trying to speak to them, and they became angry and began to chant and clap at her in a hostile manner. I walked over to find out what was going on, at which point they told me to step back and that I must not be used to having my WHITE PRIVILEGE taken away....these bartenders must have a significant chip on their shoulders about race, because they became very hostile with us after that. We will not be returning to this fake-woke racist bar ever again. read more

Morgan the bartender was awesome and accommodating. Tried the chemist gin for the first time . Absolutely delicious .
