    On top of your ticket you must become a member ($1) due to North Carolina liquor laws. Guess North…read moreCarolina doesn't like FREEDOM. Bring cash or you will have to add it on to a drink purchase. Speaking of drinks, the bar downstairs is very slow. A solo bartender was struggling to keep up with a line of customers that wasn't very long or complicated. The outdoor patio was a nice place to sip before heading into the show. Downstairs bathrooms were spotless. Is this place brand new? The music hall is beautiful. and it still smelled like lumber. It does get a little hot towards the front. I tend to prefer warm to cold, but it was a bit warm in the front. I thought it was just warm all over but when I walked down the center aisle during a break in the set I felt a gust of cool A/C. Dress appropriately, as the musicians felt it as well. There were a few small technical glitches but nothing that marred the show - the lights went out but it was right at the end of a song so it was pretty cool timing for an accident! They popped right back on. If you're thinking about walking from downtown Asheville...maybe don't. It's downhill as you walk towards the river and uphill as you walk away so it's not a casual stroll in either direction. There are also two small sections with very limited street lighting.

    This is a great place for listening to music. I have gone to see a Tom Petty tribute band and Maria…read moreMuldaur so far. If the band is loud (such as the Petty band) I suggest you sit towards the back. The "VIP" rows up front may be ear shattering. For more laid back groups the first three rows are excellent. The owners go out of their way to make things pleasant. When the weather is good going downstairs to the bar and then sitting out on the patio is great. They make very good mixed drinks, but have an average selection of wines (still drinkable). there is only some small snacks for food. Good sized private parking next door and generally some street parking as well.
