    Great prices for quality drinks. Bartender was efficient, friends, and had great recs. Young and older crowds, quiet and chill with mountain views from outside

    You know what makes a great espresso martini? Great espresso. And this place clearly understands that. Exceptional coffee and cocktails beyond the espresso martini in a warm, cozy corner tucked into downtown Black Mountain. The perfect respite for caffeine, a cocktail, or a bit of both. Friendly staff makes it even more lovely.

    What a cute and unexpected spot! Nice, healthy portioned drinks, and a fun vibe overall. I'm not an espresso martini person, but the one the bartender was making smelled so good, I almost had one!

    Of course I had to come here to check out that espresso martini because I've been hearing about it. Super cool location in downtown Black Mountain on the corner. They did such a good job in appearance and aesthetics. Inside is very beautiful and they really made the space work. It feels modern and hip and fun. Spacious which makes it seem a little more like drop by/bar hop and not very cozy so I wouldn't wanna make this my neighborhood spot. More like a little happy hour drop by. But that's certainly serves a purpose too. Great windows for epic people watching. I love their signage and what they offer. It is mostly just some simple cocktails, as well as beers on draft. Quite expensive, but that's on par for this part of town. The espresso martini was absolutely delicious. The fresh pulled espresso really made it an absolute hit. The bartender seemed quite experienced and was very friendly.

    Barely does this place justice!

    Great selection of bourbons, excellent coffee and fantastic service. Don't miss this gem!

    If you are looking for a to die for espresso martini in black mountain this is the place to go. The bartenders were lovely and very informative (this was my first espresso martini!), the ambiance was very light and calming, and there was cute merchandise you could also buy inside. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Would easily recommend and can't wait to come back!

    Their real espresso martini is to die for.mmmmmm

    Happened upon the really cool new cocktail bar here in Black Mountain. The employees are super friendly and the drinks are phenomenal. Prices are amazing. You need to come check it out.

    Just got into town and saw this new spot and had to try it. Sal was super nice and suggested I try the Espresso Martini. Espresso is my latest rage but I am not a cold coffee guy at all....until now. It is amazing. We are going back in an hour or so to sample some other suggestions. Great addition to downtown Black Mountain.

Every time we go, I'm kind of shocked it's not absolutely packed. This is part of the Foothills Meats family, and if you know their spots (the butcher shop, the food truck, The Grange, etc.), you already know--they don't miss. So we went in the first time pretty confident, and they absolutely delivered. The space itself is great, but the rooftop is the real standout--easily one of the best views in Black Mountain. It's such a good spot to sit, have a drink, and hang out. Speaking of drinks--the bar is excellent. The bartenders have always been great, super easy to sit at the bar and enjoy yourself. They've got a strong liquor selection and fun, well-balanced cocktails. Now the food. Everything we've had has been consistently good, but our last visit really stood out. We shared the pork katsu sandwich, the sweet potato biscuits, and the poutine. The pork katsu was done really well--crispy on the outside, tender inside, with that classic crunch from the cabbage and a slightly sweet, tangy katsu-style sauce. I also really liked that the sauce was on the side so you could control each bite. The sweet potato biscuits surprised us--in the best way. Those are easy to mess up, and these were not. Soft, flavorful, slightly sweet with that savory balance, paired with ham, sorghum butter, smoked cheddar, and red eye gravy--it's a really thoughtful combination that just works. And the poutine... so good. Crispy fries, rich mushroom gravy, and cheese curds that actually hold their texture. It's hearty without being heavy, and every bite felt balanced. For the level of quality they're putting out, the prices are very reasonable--which makes it even more surprising that it's not more crowded. It's right in downtown Black Mountain, but we actually drive all the way from Flat Rock to come here--and it's absolutely worth it every time. Overall, this place just nails it. Great drinks, really solid food, beautiful setting--and somehow still flying a bit under the radar. Definitely worth checking out.

They took time to engage in casual conversation and created an atmosphere that felt personal and welcoming. A particular highlight was the owner's involvement throughout the meal; visiting the table on several occasions to personally describe each dish, which proved invaluable given our limited familiarity with South African cuisine. Ambiance: The setting strikes an ideal balance between relaxed and charming. We dined al fresco alongside the garden and farm animals, lending the experience a distinctive, unhurried quality that felt refreshingly unpretentious. The environment is well-suited to those seeking a genuine farm-to-table atmosphere without affectation. Food: The quality of the cuisine was genuinely impressive. The lamb chops were a standout -- cooked to a precise medium to medium-rare and seasoned with a confident, well-balanced hand. The dishes reflected the skill and experience of a kitchen operating at a high level, with clear attention to both technique and ingredient quality. Overall: Bush Farmhouse delivered on every front. The combination of superior food, engaged and joyful staff, and a relaxed, authentic setting makes for a dining experience that is as memorable as it is satisfying. This is a restaurant clearly operating at its best, and one we would recommend without reservation to anyone seeking a distinctive and well-crafted culinary experience.

Very rustic vibe with chickens and pigs outside. Server was very attentive. She talked us through the menu giving her favorites and recommendations. The food was delicious - sausage rolls and chicken liver mousse were amazing. I had the Bunychow, my first time having it and it didn't disappoint. The pie is typical English/Irish/South African pie that you get from the chipper. Very nostalgic for me. Lamb chops were the best. Go check this place out. It's worth the drive over from Asheville.

The restaurant and patio bar are within walking distance to other spots in downtown Black Mountain, easily walkable if you are staying at an Airbnb in the local area like we were. The cocktails were glorious. On the first night, Puck's Potion and Negroni were very enjoyable. We found ourselves at the outdoor bar with the patio behind us, surrounded by quaint shops offering various retail and service options. The bartender that served us was super cool on the first night. We didn't have to wait for stools and enjoyed our cocktails on high-top seats. The second time we went, which was our last night in town, we had a reservation and went downstairs into the cellar. Watch your step as you descend the stairs so you don't trip.
