    Walked in about 11:45 on a Saturday and we were there with 1 other table. Super friendly guy greeting us and took our order. We got beer cheese Philly hubby got fries and I got homemade chips. Everything made fresh and came out piping hot. Very clean place that you can even score some swag. Overall it was a great experience everyone super friendly and nice place. It looked like they had a Miata group coming in as we were headed out.

    It's rare to find a Po' Boy and a Reuben on the same menu, much less beer cheese too. Being fans of shrimp Po Boys, we ordered one with fries and some sides and discovered they also cut the fries in-house. The Po Boy was great -tasting and served on the perfect bread, so we will go back.

    Don't DRIVE BY!!! Stop - you won't regret it. Awesome place for a great beer and food. It's not your usual bar food. It's not a notch above but a leap above. Great staff - friendly , making the overall experience very memorable one.

    Large brewery space on Sweeten Creek Road. We liked that they have a combination of their own brews and guest taps from NC. You can also snag a PBR if that's your thing. They have food with a large and varied menu. Friendly staff - we'd definitely hit this place more often.

    The owners of the former Voodoo Brewing closed that place, remodeled it and reopened as The Flying Squirrel Pub. They did a really good job. It looks almost brand new. The menu is similar but the beer list has expanded in a big way, as they are no longer limited to serving draft beers from just Voodoo Brewing. You order via an app/QR code or at the counter; they bring the food out and bus the tables. There are actually food menus at the tables, too, but the beer menu is so extensive now and changes frequently that you need to either use the QR code or look at what's written on the wall behind the bar. The staff are super friendly. The food is very good for pub food. We had one of their "craft macs" -- a play on craft beer I think, as there is no confusing this with Kraft mac-n-cheese. It was the buffalo chicken mac. Sometimes buffalo sauce overwhelms whatever it is put on top of, but not here. It's more subtle. It has good taste and nice heat. The heat builds, so I think this dish gets better as you eat it. It was dark meat chicken (no breading) and it was cooked to where it was a little crunchy. It reminded me of duck actually. Really good. The mac and cheese was excellent, too. It's made with chicken beer cheese (chicken broth and beer cheese I'm guessing). It was just the right serving size for lunch or as bar food. I paired it with the Guidon Brewing (Hendersonville) Hefeweizen, which was a great choice to balance with the buffalo sauce. We also had Max's Buffalo Blue pizza. The roasted garlic pesto sauce was fantastic, as was the smoked chicken topping with crumbled blue cheese and drizzled with a combination of buffalo and ranch sauce. Good sized pizza, hearty crust and great overall taste. This was paired with a Pluff Mud Porter from Holy City Brewing (Charleston, SC) and again was a great pairing. We'll definitely stop in again when we're down in the South Asheville/Arden area to try some other items on their menu and some other beers. Good amount of indoor seating and some outside as well (picnic table style, no shade though).

    We love going here because it's close to our house. We love having a place to grab some local brews without driving into Asheville or mills River. The atmosphere is nice but nothing unique. The food is good and service is great. The only thing we hate is that we go here on Thursdays for Music Bingo all the time and the prizes are downright offensive. Like... 10% off your bill or 1/2 off of Mac and cheese. Most places give 15-25$ gift cards and beer tokens. We are kind of burnt from that and will probably not go for that anymore.

    Was not expecting such a personality gem in this brewery! Was invited by my bestie and her boo, and met my boo up there for a quick drink and snack. Looks very family oriented too before dark, and dogs are welcomed! Meaning a lot of games for indoor and outdoor play. We had an appetizer that was freaking simple yet delicious loaded fry with Shredded beef, called "beer cheese fries," very filling. I had a delicious porter called "pluff mud", my boo had the "front bite." Delicious! I know what your thinking ,where was her dirty shirley? This place is Brews and cider! So shirley got a break!!

Just a nice little place to go in and get some food, while dressing casually. The food is fairly expensive and I must say just basic in terms of flavor. I started with an appetizer brussels sprouts. The seasoning on the brussels sprouts was very nice. The portion was good, however, I left 3 to 4 brussels sprouts as they were undercooked and just too hard to eat. I personally don't like to pay for something I'm not able to eat. I tried a Caesar salad, as my entrée. The dressing was just okay. The lettuce was a bit tough. I did not finish the salad I have to say I was not thrilled. My waitress told me they seem to be known more for their burgers so if I ever decide to give this a second try, I think I'll stick with the burger.

    We came to Asheville for a long weekend, and really wanted to try some of the local breweries…read more Unfortunately, it was drizzling rain and the brewing district was PACKED with a line outside of every brewery, and little distancing. Luckily, some google searching helped us find this spot! The heated, covered patio was just what we were looking for. While we were there a band set up and we got to enjoy some live music while we sipped on some beers. We had just eaten before we got there, but saw lots of people grabbing food from the food truck right outside. The beers were also good - we mostly sipped on the Pilsner but all the beers looked good. Proof there's good beer outside of the crowded brewing district!

Attached to a bbq restaurant if you need food. Tap list was strictly in house beers, with a dozen choices across the spectrum. I tried a light pilsner and porter, my wife had the hazy session IPA. The hazy IPA is excellent, with just the right level of "juice" flavor. I took home a six pack. The pilsner and porter were ok but didn't really stand out. Service was at the bar and we were served quickly. It was open mike night at the bbq restaurant - not my favorite form of entertainment. The crowd was mostly old folks and they all seemed to have dogs with them. One and done for us.

The space itself is genuinely grand, well-decorated, comfortable seating, a nice billiards room, and (maybe the highest compliment you can pay a pub) no old-bar smell or locals that make you feel out of place. The bathrooms were clean. The whole place was clean. For a neighborhood spot built around long conversations, it delivers. The drinks are the reason to come. The Riesling on the menu was good, and the winter bourbon (infused with apple), actually tasted spirited. What I appreciated most: no snootiness. Some Scottish and Irish pubs get precious about sticking to the house whisky program and gently disapprove if you order a cocktail or wine. Not here. They let you drink what you want to drink. Service was friendly and checked in at a good cadence. One note: the food came out way too fast. Appetizers hit the table, and the mains arrived about a minute later; we barely got into the fried cheese curds or tandoori fries before everything else was competing for space. The tandoor twist on the fries was a fun surprise, but generally the food read as average pub food. The salmon was dry (lesson learned: order it medium rare next time). The mashed potatoes on the shepherd's pie were the real highlight. 3.5 Stars. Credit where it's due: the menu is wide and actually vegan- and vegetarian-friendly, which is rarer than it should be in a pub, and there is a general playfulness in the atmosphere. What would push it higher: food that matches the level of the space, the excellent service, and the drinks. Pace out the courses, the salmon needs help, and strengthen the dishes a notch. We'll go back, just not for the salmon. The room, the drinks, and the staff all brought their A-game. The kitchen brought a B-game.
