This is a cute and quaint bar that gives off a cozy, living-room vibe. The live vinyl DJ is a fantastic touch, they were hosting a listening party for the new Madonna record the night I went! Both the vibes and the staff were absolutely on point. For dessert, I highly recommend the ice cream brûlée; it was incredibly delicious and unique. The only minor drawback for me was the cocktail selection, which is limited to just a couple of drinks and a few spritzers. However, they do have a decent wine menu with several great aromatic wine offerings. Because it's a intimate venue with limited seating, you might encounter a wait. We arrived early in the evening, and by the time we left, a line was already starting to form!. read more

Potential New Boyfriend is an unbelievable and unique find -- that glad I decided to make a stop while coming from Art District! I'm blown away -- if I could give 5+ Stars I would! The lounge and music paired with desserts and wine is such a niche and fun vibe! I love the weekly features - especially Monday fixed menu of desserts with a shot of espresso or wine! The blueberry mint ice cream deserves a cult following! It's made with REAL mint and the color is amazing. The truffle balls are both delicious and serves as a charity (sine profit donated to local charity). The cream puff is light but packed with flavor! The late hours draws in a large crowd!! The waitress is so nice and upbeat. I will definitely have to make a trip back or before I head home!! read more

My best friend and I had a great time at Potential New Boyfriend! We were in town a little early for my bachelorette party. I used to live in this area so was excited to find this new to me spot. It's a mix of a wine/cocktail/dessert/vinyl bar. The music was amazing and the vibe was perfect. I loved the natty wines they had to pick from and the extremely unique menu. Our server was super sweet and helpful. My best friend enjoyed her cocktail and we decided to share the dessert flight. Our favorite part was the sundae, I highly recommend getting their ice creams. The tiramisu and truffles were fine compared to the sundae. When we were there they played a great mix of Robyn, Whitney Houston, and some other artists. It feels like you're in your cool friend's living room. This is a great spot for a date or to meet up with friends. I can't wait to return when I'm back in town. read more

Potential New Boyfriend is definitely a possibility, maybe could become our regular boyfriend? PNB is a dessert bar/wine bar/listening lounge in West Asheville. It's got good vibes, delicious desserts, and a great ambience for sampling desserts, sampling records, hanging out. My companion had a basque cheesecake with a marvelous marshmallow topping and I had a very large slice of tiramisu. We enjoyed our stop. Could it be love? It's a definite possibility! read more

This place came highly recommended to me and I was so geeked that we were able to check it out. The vibes are so cool We came on a Sunday afternoon and was able to snag a seat at one of there velvet couches. This was one of THE most unique wine/cocktail bar I've been to for a few reasons. I loved the way their menu was formatted with details on flavor profiles, styles and separated into quadrants. They had a small food menu that was very intriguing and eccentric. My eyes locked in on the Thai Tea Panna Cotta! OMG yum! It was decadent, luscious and was so flavorful. The layered coconut milk and that lemon meringue on top was such a nice touch of acid to cut through all that richness. I'm a sucker for boba pearls too so it was all delicious. Our server was so friendly and helped us through the menu. She checked in on us periodically and made sure we were taken care of. They were also playing great music! I would highly recommend this place for all sorts of vibes - girls night out, date night or even just solo. Can't wait to come back! read more

Fun, modern dessert bar. live vinyl dj and a cool atmosphere. The tiramisu was delicious! We did not get the cookie plate for the holidays and regret it! Slight con: seating is very limited. there were two of us and one was seated on a backless stool at a table shorter than our knees. we would have stayed longer but 1) a little uncomfortable 2) felt sort of rushed for our seats. read more

Wow, wow, wow, loved this place! Potential New Boyfriend is a wonderful spot for a snack (sweet or savory) and cocktails, perfect for a small group or date. The interior is lovely and fun: living room style seating, 80's kitsch, old school audio speakers, vinyl spinning in the corner for a throwback vibe. The menu is tightly curated offering charcuterie, sandwiches, desserts and ice creams. Not a full meal type place, a drop and grab a drink and snackies type place. Service is top-notch and patient, they'll walk you through the drink choices and the desserts all have pairing suggestions. Overall it was a fantastic stop for me after dinner across the street. If you're playful and fun, you'll likely love Perfect New Boyfriend. It's probably not for everyone but it was quite perfect for me... read more

I've been following them on IG for awhile now and excited to visit this place on the next trip to AVL. I finally got to check it out this week. We arrived on Tuesday at 5pm. There were only a couple other people here so we had our pick of the seats. We found a comfy couch with a low table and were greeted immediately. Our server was pleasant and explained the menu thoroughly to us. It's divided between regular wines, and then there's a side dedicated to more adventurous and unique offerings. These are generally smaller and stronger pours. They also specialize in desserts - ice cream primarily but also some other cakes and confections. Much as I wanted to indulge in the dessert, we were there just for a pre-dinner drink, but next time I will get the ice cream! Our server let us sample a couple before committing to a glass. I tried the standard bubbles and enjoyed that tasting, so I got a full pour of that. My partner got something a little more exotic but it was interesting and tasty. We really enjoyed our visit here - it's super bright and vibrantly decorated - pops of color everywhere. And it's a listening lounge, so you can see all of the high end audio equipment, speakers, etc seamlessly placed throughout the space. The atmosphere is perfect for relaxing, catching up, and everything in between. Price wise, it's fair for the quality of the service and product. I can't wait to go back! @azfitfoodfun read more

This place is a very cute restaurant/lounge that I decided to go in the afternoon on a Sunday and do a little work while I was sitting there. I began with an Affogato, delicious! I had great service and the music was bumping. Nice touch. I enjoyed that people were coming in and contributing their own records as I was sitting there. I ended up also getting a nice n/a beverage and I ended my visit with the petite cheese plate, which was also really delicious. Luckily, I had more honey randomly in my purse and it just made the meal perfect but I'm sure if I asked for just a little dollop more, it wouldn't have been a big problem. Definitely recommend Such a cute spot. read more

My husband and I went to Potential New Boyfriend for a little date night, and it was incredible. I'm obsessed with the vibes--amazing music, an eclectic yet cozy atmosphere, and a really interesting wine selection. We tried the sparkling red Lambrusco and loved it! The truffles were also great and they happened to be $1 that night. It's perfect for a vibey night spot on a date or with friends since they do have some seating for groups--mainly in a couch area, depending on how busy it is since it is on the smaller side. Overall, so worth the hype. That's my rant! read more

One of the more unique and delicious places I've been to in a while. They have great small appetizers, drinks, and desserts. In addition they had a couple of grilled cheeses available, and I had one with Gruyère, kale and butternut squash. Certainly in the top 5 sandwiches I have ever had. So good. Mexican hot chocolate was amazing, along with a sweet dessert wine and coconut tres leches cake. Everything was superb. I'll definitely be back. read more

The atmosphere here is soooo cool. Very chic and curated. The tiramisu, ice cream brûlée, and affogato were all scrumptious and the service was also good. I'd definitely come back again. read more

We got a little turned around trying to find the place, but we're very glad we did! Cool vibe inside, and we liked that it is smaller and on the cozier side. Amaya was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and gave helpful drink suggestions based on our preferences. The charcuterie was terrific -- do not sleep on the lemon poppyseed crackers, which were magical. The affogato was very good, made with artisanal ice cream, if I'm not mistaken. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu! read more

Where do i begin? At first, we thought this place was a simple dessert shop where you order at a counter and have a seat, enjoy your ice cream and leave. However, we were severely mistaken that it was a wine lounge (to which we were delighted). Service is amazing and we felt so comfortable and welcomed by the staff. They were able to answer all our questions about the menu, and everything we tried was phenomenal. The music playlist was so retro and perfect, the decor unique and clearly tailored for the vibe of the establishment. We had the Vinedo de los Vientos Alcyone Tannat Dessert Wine with the dessert flight. The wine was so very delicious, one of the best red wines i've ever had, and no i'm not exaggerating. The Mile High Sundae has me in a chokehold ever since we ate it and i can't stop thinking about it. We WILL be back!! read more

Went on a rainy Tuesday afternoon. Great selection of unique drinks with a menu that aids you in selecting to your taste, a generous aperitivo serving (we had the XL), but the dessert (Golden Girl [tahini cheesecake with apricot glaze and amarena cherries]) was the star of the show. We also had a scoop of the fig brûlée ice cream; packed with figs, packed with flavor without being overly sweet or clawing. Best desserts we've had in a long time anywhere. Service was attentive and kind. Ambiance was cozy with a great soft music selection and decor to match. Will definitely be back. read more

Seemed to have good reviews so we gave it a try. I went with 2 friends and none of us enjoyed the food. Not to mention the food and drinks are quite overpriced. It was packed so tight we could tap shoulders with the people behind us and next to us if we wanted to. Felt claustrophobic. The employees seemed pretty nice and patient with us since it was our first (and last) time there. read more

I enjoyed a very relaxing interlude here this afternoon. My menu choice was a Turtle Sunday paired with Madeira - yum! The owner, who is strong on customer service, is glad to offer advice on additional wine and ice cream pairings. Prices are reasonable. Looking forward to the charcuterie next time. read more
