Very cool venue. Great sound and pretty intimate space. The vibes overall are good, but the staff could loosen up just a tiny bit. read more

The Grey Eagle Music Hall - Tacos before the show - Music Venues Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

First time visiting this concert venue. Locate right in the Rivers Arts District where there are plenty of places to drink and get food near by preshow, but they actually also have a taqueria inside which I wasn't aware of, and a full bar which wasn't a surprise, bur it was surprising the drinks were pretty reasonably priced. We came to see my favorite band on their farewell tour, and I was appreciative The staff working the door were friendly and actually allowed attendees to take merch back out to there car even after having scanned your ticket to get in, so I didn't have to carry stuff with me. The venue it self isn't huge, maybe allowing 400-500 capacity(?). The low ceiling provides good acoustics, but only one entrance means a big bottle neck after the show. They also don't really have a parking lot, but there is a lot of free on street parking. I'd definitely return for another show. read more

Love going to shows at this venue! Conveniently located in Asheville, chill vibes, and they host awesome artists. We saw Ruston Kelly there 2 years ago and we're seeing him there again next week. There's loads next door to eat, drink, and enjoy pre-show which is always a plus! We love a one stop shop :) read more

you must invite some of these artists joel r l phelps and his band jesse sykes dave alvin and his new psych band what do you say? read more

Great venue. Enjoyed the performances and the sound was good. It was standing only near the stage, but you could also sit in the connected bar and easily hear the acts since the bar was open to the main stage. Loved Cole Chaney. read more

Super awesome venue for live music. Acoustics are always incredible and the beer selection is fantastic. Standing room only, unless outside (picnic tables) and near the bar. Limited parking, but street parking is available. The tacos are to die for, and don't forget to start out with empanadas! Staff is always smiling and friendly. read more

The vibes here were cool but the concert experience I had here last week was not great. The sound was kinda terrible. Speakers were cranked up so high that the music didn't come out too great. You could barely understand what the artists were saying. I already know the main acts songs so ofc I recognized the words but I had no clue what the opener was singing. Also the stage set up sucks. The floor is completely level and the stage is not very high. Ceiling is low. I've never attended a concert with that kind of set up before. Every other place I've been to has had a slanted floor. The set up is a nightmare if you're short and are not in the front row of the crowd. I'm 5'5 and it was really hard to see the band. A breaker blew mid set and cut the power to the band's mics. Not sure why that happened. Luckily they got it fixed fairly quickly The outside looks awesome- I loved the mural. And the workers got us into the concert quickly. Barely a line at all so that was nice. I had fun at the concert but I'm not a fan of going to the Grey Eagle for any sort of live music. If an artist I like is set to play there again in the future, I probably won't go read more

When I'm in Asheville, I always check to see who is here. On my last trip, The Wildmans eerr playing, so I knew I had to go. The venue is small, the sound system is great, and the lineup is usually someone I want to see read more

It was my first time at this venue seeing John Splithoff and I would totally come back! It's super cozy with nice lighting and memorabilia! The bar and sitting area is open and connected to the stage area so it's easy to grab a drink and return to the show! Excellent service and welcoming, friendly people. I didn't want to leave! :) read more

Came to see Balu Brigada here, and the venue staff has been so *chefs kiss* all day. They let us come in out of the cold, were sooo understanding about the tickets being wonky, fed us, gave us free posters. Literally the best venue ever. read more

This is a great venue to watch stand up comedy and live music. Even though we sat at the back of the hall, we could see fairly well and we could hear every word. The attached taqueria had great food, and check in was efficient when we arrived. read more

Came here for a little social distancing show, ended up going back for their frozen slushy margaritas. The price is a little steep but holy me oh my, those things are tasty. So tasty we may have had a leeeettle too much fun. Lucky it was a small show with plenty of room between tables to social distance with just your pod. Needing something to soak up our drinks, we ordered a round of nachos and those were equally satisfying. We opted for chicken? Maybe it was pork? Not sure but it was good and didn't hang around very long. Seems like they have a pretty good line up for outdoor shows, the crowd seemed happy to participate is COVID recommendations, hopefully the show can go on! read more

Cool place. Good music, decent food, and good people...Parking sucks arse! I will be walking from Charlotte next time...

Went to a general admission event after buying tickets in advance. They overbooked the event. No staff offered assistance. The venue is tiny. Ruined an event I was looking forward to. If you choose to go there, show up early and prepare to fend for yourself. Better off skipping this venue. read more

I adore everything about the Grey Eagle. The taqueria at lunch is my go to at least once a month, the pastor tacos are so good! I've seen some of the best music of my life there, and now they're doing free afternoon concerts on the patio! This spot is such a gem, I'm lucky to live in town that the Grey Eagle is in. read more

Great tacos! This place is very close to my current job and they are open for lunch so I can grab a quick taco. The tacos are surprisingly authentic tasting with two corn tortillas and Valentina hot sauce. Prices are very decent for the amount of food you're given. I ordered a chorizo taco, a big bowl of rice and beans, and a D9 draft for $15. No complaints here! Unfortunately I have not yet visited at night for their live music, but the venue is HUGE and looks like it can fit at least 100 people. They have a full liquor bar and both draft and canned beers. I'll have to take a trip here at night for a show sometime soon. read more

Great small venue! Saw Byrds of a Feather here in December. Excellent service, everyone was friendly, and the show was great!

I love the Grey Eagle! This venue is located pretty close to downtown in the River Arts District. It is a real funky space that just screams "ASHEVILLE." It has awesome decorations including photographs of musicians, a vintage-looking checkered floor, hanging star lanterns and murals. The outside area has picnic tables and hanging lights. This venue consistently brings in great musical acts including local and otherwise. The space is not huge but has plenty of room to dance around and is a bit more low key than some other venues. There is also a taqueria and bar here for mouth pleasures! read more

Amazing venue. Great vibes and atmosphere. Loved the patio- so quaint and intimate for a show. We saw the Pink Beds who were awesome!! All the staff was very nice and helpful. I posted pictures on my social media and everyone from home was asking where this place was and wishing there was something like this by us! We had a wonderful night at this fantastic music venue! read more

Great small Music CLUB-- for live music enjoyment! If you have never been here before --you may pass by it as we found it by the name of the band on the marquee Saw Joywave with my daughter and we were able to be 4-5 rows from the stage .. great part is ----my ears were not blown out ! Reasonable loudness level!!! Answers to simple questions : Yes there is food ! There is a taco bar you can order from. I didn't eat there so I can comment on that. Yes there is beer, cider and wine! There is a simple bar but it works! You can also sit in the "dining area " and watch the bands on TV'S at the bar Yes you can hangout side ! There is an outdoor section to sit smoke and even play cornhole Music section is mainly standing room only with a few side seats plus the dining area seats. Also there is a good chance you will be able to meet the band members since it is so small! I would definitely go again for the right show! read more

Had a blast at three Grey Eagle last night watching Matthew Sweet live! The venue is no-frills, but not lacking in necessities. Also, they serve tacos here! Come for a show, leave with a full belly! I heard a great time & would return without hesitation if another favorite musician of mine is booked. read more

What a great intimate space for hearing and seeing bands - inside and out! Can't wait to go again. Love the causal vibe. Don't go changing! Tacos are very delicious too! read more

The food is awful, and they have a one-drink-per-person policy so you can't get a drink for your partner. It's too small for decent-sized shows as well. When this place goes under, I'll enjoy my favorite bands at the Orange Peel. read more

An Asheville live music institution with amazing staff make for one of my very favorite venues to see live music! I've seen some legendary artists along side outstanding up-in-coming musicians. The talent this place pulls is almost unbelievable but in a town where live music venues come and go with the blink of an eye...the TGE staff and ownership have a designed recipe for successfully booking amazing talent into the small space. Shows range anywhere from Jazz, Blues, Hip-Hop, Funk, Rock, Metal, Americana, Indie, Reggae, Folk and anything/everything in between. Staff is attentive and always quick with a cold brew, mixed drink, or shot of choice. The venue itself has excellent sound for a small room and the large outdoor patio make it easy to catch some fresh air and/or conversations with friends. Food at the Taqueria is fresh, traditional-style fare, and prepared with locally sourced ingredients. Counter service allows for easy ordering for groups that may not show up at the same exact moment. I find it refreshing to grab a beer at the bar then hang out at a table while waiting on friends rather than the whole tourist town, "all members of your party must be present"...before being seated, which I understand, but I also avoid these places if we are meeting folks from out of town. Menu offers gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options. Try the Fiambre salad with mahi mahi and the Plantanos Maduros with the cheerwine habanero aioli!!!! My personal jam! River Arts District has limited dining options in general(especially for lunch) and this is the ONLY(for now) place serving latin american cuisine in the neighborhood which is almost unheard of in Asheville's completely over saturated "taco market" on the westside and up the hill in downtown. read more

This was a cool spot to check out for a show. Unfortunately we just ate but I heard they have some awesome tacos. I liked the setting. It's more intimate so you really connect with the music playing. You're not so far back squinting and trying to see their faces. They have a nice outdoor patio with good ambience as well. The staff was so friendly. All in all I really enjoyed it here. read more

I visited The Grey Eagle on Easter weekend to catch a showing of Hedwig & the Angry Inch. Parking is tight, but I was able to find something on the street not too far away. Not only was it a cool venue with great sound, but the Grey Eagle Taquiera has some great food options. I ordered the Avocado a la Plancha & enjoyed the hell out of it. It even got approving looks from others, which was cute. I like to call that the Fajita Factor - no matter what you order, you're gonna stare at the Fajita sizzling its way to that lucky person's table. Once the show got underway, I found the space to be roomy & have great acoustics. I would highly recommend The Grey Eagle for a show &/or a solid meal. read more

During my detox I was super careful with what I was eating. The Grey Eagle has options for everyone! Very vegan friendly but also have great meat options. A very nice selection of beverages to choose from. I tried the lentil chorizo taco, it wasn't very chorizo-like in my opinion but it was good. The steak tacos were very good and the meat portion was huge! The salsa also was very good. I'd like to check them out for a show sometime. read more

We came upon this place because the line at Whiteduck was crazy long and after planning our day around going there for lunch, I had quite the taco craving. Being of the tourist variety, I was admittedly a bit sketched out and confused by the location of this place, but my taco hankering had grown quite strong by this point so we plugged through our initial apprehension. And, I am quite glad we did. There is absolutely nothing fancy or nice about this place, just really delicious food. Like a good yelper, I scanned through the reviews before ordering and saw that the kale salad was strong so we ordered and agree that it was super delicious. I should have ordered that topped by the tempeh asada and called it a day, but hey, it's Asheville and were on vacay so we got chips and salsa as well as 2 tacos, one with the tempeh and one with lentil chorizo, which BTW, is such a good idea. Need to replicate at home on some banging vegan nachos! Yum! The fillings were both tasty and the corn tortillas were delicious. Only slight disappointment was I wish there was a bit more textural variation on the filling such as a pickle or slaw, but I am splitting hairs here. Husband had the burrito which was also divine and had a bit more of that texture variation I was missing in mine. Other positives included tasty beers on draft (I got a taste of home with Foothills Sexual Chocolate), fair prices, and tasty homemade taco condiments. I can't promise we will resist the allure of Whiteduck next time we are in Asheville, but there is a definite possibility. I mean, I guess we have to try the arepas, which I hear are quite good. read more

So much fun here. Went to see three comedians with a group of friends. We went early to have dinner before the show (and find parking). Good decision. Everyone enjoyed their food choices (shrimp tacos, nachos, plantains, etc). I had bean nachos without the red pickled onions (which everyone else raved about - not my thing), guacamole, and a beer on tap. The nachos were different from the usual flat plate with melted cheese. Served in a paper boat with lots of black beans and melted white cheddar, topped with jalapeños, salsa, and cilantro, it was hot and delicious. When the doors opened for general seating, we made our way to chairs up front to laugh for hours. read more

Think I've been spoiled by the venues in Charlotte and Carrboro. The Grey Eagle is fine, but let's be real. No one goes to a show for the event space. The small space and the low ceilings make me feel like this place has to be a fire hazard during sold out shows. To end this review on a high note: the dude taking tickets stamped my wrist instead of my hand, so I could wash my hands without losing my stamp. Genius. read more

Wow...I have never been treated so rudely before. Walk in at 7pm. "Are you guys here for show?" "No, we're just here to grab some tacos." "Well the show starts at 8 so we'll ask you to leave if you don't have tickets." "Okay that's fine " "So don't linger, okay? Get the hell out when you're done." I'll get the hell out now. Thanks. We did walk into the bar area briefly. Not greeted or offered a menu..a fellow customer gave us her menu but the place smelled like cat piss. Will never return. Can I make this negative stars? read more

Great venue, good food, reasonably priced drinks, friendly service. Will definitely return.
