Looking for a late evening meal we selected Asylum. We had the fried chicken sandwich which was delicious and crispy. The French fries had a nice seasoning. The onion rings were battered and firm (but not so firm the shell separates from the onion. The place has a bar feel, but offers outside dining and a couch to lounge on. I appreciate the beer special discount. Should I be in the area in the future, I'll definitely enjoy again. The staff was limited but you could see they were working hard to keep up. If you're a needy patron, just place your entire order with drinks. read more

Stopped here after a long ride on the Greenbrier Trail so we were super hungry. Burgers and (lots of) soft drinks hit the spot. Waitress was very attentive to refilling our glasses. I will be sure to stop in again on another time through town. read more

Visiting WV with family and dog -- stopped by Lewisburg, came here to Asylum. They have outdoor seating on the patio, dogs allowed. They seem a bit understaffed, they were only two people in the bar area, so it took some time to get seated. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wrap, a lunch special they had. Also had a side salad -- house salad. Others in table ordered the Steak Sammich and mashed potatoes. The wrap was good, and there were 2 of them -- good for price. Salad was pretty solid too. I'd give this a 3.5/5, but I'll rate up for service. Pretty good, and hope to be back if in the area. Last visited: August 2025 read more

They allow dogs on the patio and have a fantastic patio space. When I went I was the only one on the patio. It was quiet and nice to just sit back and relax. The staff was great and attentive. Their smoking area is nearby so every person that walked by to go smoke stopped and pet my pup. She loved all the attention. They even provided a clean bowl of water for her. I ordered the chicken ceasar wrap. It was delicious, light in the hot weather. The french fries were equally as good. This was a great little place to have dinner. I especially liked that they were pet friendly. This was a big factor in trying to find places to eat. read more

This is the place to stop in Lewisburg for lunch, drink, or dinner if you are passing through. We came here after visiting Lost World Caverns. It is pretty close and has plenty of parking. The restaurant is a combo restaurant and bar and is large. The service was great and the food was even better! We both had burgers and they were excellent. The meat was good quality and they were huge! read more

Not a fan at all. Stayed at the Escape which I highly recommend so naturally one would check out the bar - restaurant next door with good reviews but we were so under impressed that we left. We left because service was bad and no one really cared to help or be there to serve us. Maybe understaffed?? read more

We were there for valentines weekend. They had a ribeye special that three of us ordered. Mine was ok. One was so full of fat and gristly that 2/3 of inedible. The other was ordered medium rare a came out more than well done. It was sent back and the replacement was better cooked but still over cooked for medium rare and also was full of fat and gristle. The baked potatoes were huge and well cooked. Service was on the slow side. Perhaps they were understaffed as they didn't seem all that busy at the time. Glad I tried it but won't be going back. read more

Dirty Martini..FABULOUS..the bartender understood the assignment. Place was not busy(early eve)..but our waitress was hustling!

First time coming and the vibe when you want in is your basic bar eatery. Our waitress was perfect um and their food was delicious. We got the fried pickles but didn't get a pic haha my sandwich was pretty good although I asked for no bacon or ham annnnnd I feel they are like most lazy people who just remove the meat from the meat from the sand which and think it's ok. I found bacon in between the Turkey & bread and thought I tasted bacon/ham also. For that I'm taking off a star. Otherwise, delicious! read more

The Asylum - Club Sandwich - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Lewisburg, West Virginia

Our first visit. It will also be our last. Very limited menu. Wife asked if they had Prosecco, the waitress said I have to ask. She came back and stated yes. So we order a glass of Prosecco and I ordered a Miller Lite. I asked of the Fish & Chips, what kind of fish is it to she replied I'll have to ask. When she came back she stated, 'Cod'. Wife ordered the Shrimp Po Boy w/ fries & coleslaw and I ordered the Fish & Chips w/hush puppies and coleslaw. After we placed our order, Wife says this Prosecco is lukewarm and flat. The Miller Lite was cold. Wife asked if she could just get a Coke. When our food was served the waitress commented, 'we're out of coleslaw.' No offer of any substitute of anything else. Wife stated the shrimp po boy is good. The bread was pretty good and the fries were okay. The supposed Cod was basically Mrs. Paul's and was over cooked to the max as were some of the fries. The two hush puppies (yes Two) were the size of small marbles and no coleslaw. The waitress removed the Prosecco from our check. I wouldn't over expect if you choose to dine here. Just to follow up, right after posting the review, I became seriously sick after eating in this place. All I could taste through the night was the grease from the fries & the supposed Cod fish. I guess they named the place well, if you ever see me eating there again just check me into the Insane Asylum. read more

love this place!! such good service and the vibe here is amazing!! the turkey club wrap and sidewinders are delish!

Solid food, good chips with wraps, fine service. Fine visit during vacation in lewisburg.

The third time is the charm! very happy to report that after seeing several positive January 2024 reviews online, we gave the Asylum a third try. Glad we did because the old Asylum is back. Whatever issues they had in the kitchen have been ironed out and corrected. The burger my husband ordered was cooked correctly to a medium rare. The wings I ordered were delicious and the side salad was fresh and appealing. The chocolate mousse my husband ordered was apparently to die for. The service was great as it always has been. We will definitely be back. read more

One of the few places that was open on Sunday. Small place off Main Street in Lewisburg. Walking in, there is a cool vintage vibe with old school bar and sofas along with booths and tables. Our server was prompt, quickly brought our drinks and had good recommendations on food. I ordered the Smokehouse burger, it had bacon, bbq sauce and fried onions. It was supposed to have pulled pork but they were out. The burger was cooked to my liking, juicy and flavorful. The bun was soft and held everything together well. Beer battered fries accompanied, they were crisp and hot, overall a solid place especially if you are looking for something other than a chain restaurant on Sunday. read more

In town for business and decided to check this place out. I ordered to go and the food was ready when they said it would be. I ordered the catfish po' boy with fries. The portion size was smaller than I expected and the taste was just okay. Nothing really to write home about and I'm not sure if I'd visit again. read more

Fantastic customer service again while visiting Asylum. Whitney and Destiny greeted our party of three with genuine and friendly attitudes. The place was busy for a Monday lunch because it's Spring Break and several customers were entire families. However, there was plenty of parking and space in the dining room and bar counter areas. The food was delicious and large proportions for hungry eaters. We did order fried calamari which was overcooked for one member of our party however the staff made sure we weren't charged for it and generously offered a replacement meal for there or To Go to make sure we were satisfied. I LOVED AND APPRECIATED THAT! Keep up the amazing job Asylum staff and kudos to Whitney & Destiny who made sure we were well served and comfortable during our cozy dining experience. read more

I was in Lewisburg on business and it was suggested to our group that we visit The Asylum. Glad we did. The atmosphere and food was excellent and the waitress, Natalie, was wonderful and took great care of us! They also have a bar setup in the basement and on the rooftop for private parties. I strongly recommend The Asylum! read more

I have nothing but praise for The Asylum Lewisburg. I was there two nights in a row for a music festival in Lewisburg. The bartenders were nice, attentive, and did their best in a crazy situation. They got slammed at a few points, but the bartenders stayed professional and accommodated everyone as quickly as possible. The food was delicious, as were the drinks. Portion sizes were strong as well. I had a burger the first night, and it was cooked as I asked and tasted great. The next night I had an appetizer because I'd eaten prior to arriving, but the fried pickles were tasty as well. Given all the craziness with the music festival and the coming and going of so many patrons, this place did outstanding. read more

Disappointing! Will NOT go back! We all ordered chicken which they deep fried in oil that should have been changed out long ago. The chicken was terribly dark and tasted terrible. One person in our party almost got sick on the way home. Also, i witnessed first hand where the bartender used the restroom and walked out without washing her hands. We called to talk with management and they did not care about our experience. Definitely not a place we will go back to! NO STARS! read more

I ordered a turkey wrap and sweet potato fries. The next time I think I'll order regular fries (I ended up eating my daughter's fries instead). The service was good and very accommodating for my daughter and I. Highly recommend this place for lunchtime. I also noticed their bar and it looked well stocked with a big variety of drinks. read more

I waited over an hour for a med-rare steak, broccoli, and mac & cheese, my girlfriend ordered a Southwestern salad. The grilled chicken in the salad was a perfect med-rare. There was also no dressing that the salad was supposed to come with and they were out of corn. This place has a lot of potential. It's a shame to see it fail. This review was also posted to The Asylum's FB page. What follows is the posts made by The Asylum. "We are short staffed and are doing our best.. we had 10 applications come through for cooks this week and not 1 has shown up for an interview...our front of house are suffering. The fact we are still open is a miracle. I'm sorry you had a bad experience but we are aren't having fun trying to keep this place open. Have you been anywhere outside of WV lately??? I have... hiring signs from the Caribbean to Canada. I have options. Pay my staff $20 an hour and You won't ever come in for $20 burger and fries or try to survive."

Great Service and Drinks! My meal was great as well, the wings are perfection and I loved the mozzarella sticks. I ordered a bourbon honey drink and it was spectacular. I'll return again! read more

Terrible customer service. I shouldn't have to wait 10 mins for a server to come take my drink order when it's not even busy. There was legit one table of customers. The server said twice "I'll be right with you" and NOPE she never was. So we left. Maybe the fact that it was a ghost town on a Friday night should've been a tip off to head elsewhere. read more

Very friendly attentive service staff, we were on road all day traveling and wanted a great sandwich. Place welcomes everyone as a regular and go out of the way to make you feel like family. Our table ordered fried chicken, burger and pulled pork .. large portions and print service. Onion rings were just okay a lot of batter vs a light coating you usually get on onion rings .. Fried Chicken was good, but probably would not try again. Huge fresh salad greens .. The burger was very good as was the pulled pork. read more

Couldn't have been happier than with dinner at The Asylum. We arrived at 6:30 to find the place already pretty full. Still, we got a nice table and excellent service. There was a great cross section of people in the crowd, from families with toddlers to couples and groups of friends. The food was excellent. I had the bean burger and wished I'd ordered the sweet potato fries. I'd planned to leave by 8:00, but the ambience was so lovely and we enjoyed ourselves so much we stayed another hour. There was no pressure to vacate our table. No wonder it's my local friend's favorite restaurant. read more

Visited shortly after opening and found the place clean. The staff had masks, but everyone had them just over their mouths and not covering their noses. I stumbled upon a review claimed the fried chicken to be the best they'd ever had. I was more in the mood for a burger, but how can you pass on an opportunity to have something you may have never tasted anything better than. I settled for the fried chicken sandwich. I figured I'd get the taste of the chicken, but on a bun. I must say it was good. Certainly didn't top my best chicken experience, but I can see why people would sure like it. The fries that came along with the meal were freshly cut and dusted with sea salt. I appreciate a restaurant taking the time to actually cook and not just deep fry or heat up items. You can taste the difference here. If you're passing through the area, it's worth a stop for lunch. read more

We came Sat and I will say I think they are pretty understaffed. We wanted to sit outside but when no one came out and we noticed other tables hanging out with menus and others still not being bused, decided to sit at the bar instead. I ordered the asylum burger with just the pimento and fries. It was a good burger! Nice charring on the exterior while still being juicy. The fries were very good. My one suggestion would be to somehow let the pimento melt a little bit before serving read more

Went there soon a Sunday night for dinner. It's a nice little bar with good food and selection of beers. The had Yeunling on tap which is my favorite beer so I was happy. Wasn't very busy at the time - Service and food was good. Looks like it's popular with the locals. If I ever return to Lewisburg I'll definitely eat there again. read more

Fantastic service and food. Aubrey was an amazing bartender. She made our visit amazing.

My husband and I got take out from here one evening. We both got a club sandwich and with chips. The sandwiches were delicious and I was pleasantly surprised by the chips. They are homemade and come with a side of wonderful homemade ranch dressing. Absolutely great, will be eating there again soon!!! read more

Well "The Asylum" in Lewisburg has failed us this weekend. We called last Wednesday to confirm their hours for the Labor Day holiday, we arrived at 11:20 because they were supposed to open at 11:00. They had a sign on the door that said opening at 12:00. We decided to wait. At 11:55 the door opens and the lady said everyone called out and they would not open until 1:00. We ended up having lunch, around the corner, at the Stardust cafe, the food there was good. read more

Things were a little crazy when we visited because there was a Liv Golf tournament and Zac Brown concert that day. As a result, the restaurant was probably understaffed. However, as harried as they appeared, the staff were terrific. Our server (Natalie) was great and we enjoyed our banter together as we tried to relieve some of her stress. The kitchen must have been crazy too, but our food was terrific. So, if they can handle a day like that with such stellar results, it's a safe bet they will be stellar on regular days too. Definitely recommended! read more

We only stopped in for drinks. The first time we sat at the bar and bartender was friendly and attentive. She mixed a mean Manhattan! The next visit was most unpleasant. It took about 10 minutes before the waitstaff noticed us. Another couple left because they were not waited on. We asked for water three times and despite being served out cocktails., my husband finally got up and grabbed my water from the bar, while our waitress was texting on her phone. read more

We were passing through and our hotel recommended the Asylum for an early dinner. My husband had the Cobb Salad and I had a side salad and Egg Rolls. Our salads were good and fresh, the dressings didn't overpower the taste of the salads. Our service was okay, my tea was refilled without asking, but my husband's water was never refilled. Overall we were impressed until we tried to pay. Our server was having an issue processing our debit card so we gave her our credit card and everything went through with no issue. On the way back to our hotel, we checked our checking account. They processed our card 4 times! We have pending charges over hundred dollars for a $30.00 bill. We immediately called the restaurant and told them the issue and was told by the manager "I'll look into it and call you back in an hour". Still haven't heard back from the manager and calling our bank. I hate to say this but I will, I wonder if the manager isn't taking this as serious since we aren't locals and she know we wouldn't be returning on a regular basis? Bottom line, if you do stop here pay with cash unless you want to be charged 3x them amount of your bill. read more
