Coffee shop... yes! Bar... yes!…read moreWe stopped by downtown forest city and wanted to enjoy a coffee. This looked like a cool spot. It's a coffee shop during the day, serving coffee, espresso, and specialty frappes. They have some protein bars and snacks as well. It's a bar at night. They have drafts on tap, and a whole section of bottles and cans for you to explore. A lot of what they have I've never seen before so it's a pretty cool collection to try. The ambience is dope! Cool seating and furniture. It would be cool to meet up with friends at night and enjoy the atmosphere.

Instead of simply turning us away, Jacob went above and beyond by offering us whatever was still available in the kitchen, which truly saved our evening. He was incredibly friendly, helpful, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a good experience. Employees like Jacob are exactly why customers come back and recommend a place to others. Excellent customer service, great attitude, and a perfect example of hospitality done right. Thank you, Jacob, for making us feel welcome. We will definitely be back! Simeon

Finally made it out here on a Saturday night after hearing about it from a few people and it did…read morenot disappoint. The space has been completely redone and the custom bar is honestly worth seeing on its own. Real creek rocks, a blue streak built into the surface, lights underneath. A lot of thought went into it. We started with the tiger chicken nachos and those things are as good as everyone says. I went with the smash burger for my main, nice crust on the patty, good toppings, nothing falling apart. My wife got the salmon and she was really happy with it too. The menu is set up so you can pop in for a casual weeknight meal or do something a little nicer on the weekend, which I appreciate. Someone from the ownership side stopped by our table to check in, which felt genuine, not just going through the motions. Live music was playing when we got there and it was loud enough to enjoy but you could still have a conversation. Prices are fair. We'll be back sooner rather than later.

Fun and funky vibe. There's a cute little Beaver at the entrance. Went here on a lunch date with my…read morehusband. They seated us right away and got our drinks (water) and I ordered the Fried Chicken Wrap with Tiger sauce and onion rings and my husband ordered two orders of six piece wings, one buffalo and one golden nugget. The service was not great. We were there before the lunch rush but we didn't get our food for almost an hour and the waitress never came back until she brought the food. She said they had to remake my order twice, but she never said anything. The food was really good but I only ate a few bites and had to leave. I only have an hour for lunch so I had to take it to go.... If you have time to wait this is a good place to eat.

This is an amazing little place to visit after five…read more Trish the bartender will take very good care of you, a wonderful selection of microbrews and domestic beers as well as a well-stocked bar. You need to try the hamburger it's bigger than your head and of course the fried pork rinds are huge and amazing, enough for a table of six. The atmosphere is friendly and eclectic with great tunes playing in the background. You won't be disappointed

We were first introduced to this brewery at a bar we frequent in Louisville, KY. When visiting…read moreAsheville a few months later, we made a special trip out to the farm (about an hour away) and it was so worth it!! This brewery specializes in using local ingredients and natural fermentation in many of their beers which makes for fantastic unique flavors. The location is really pretty & the taproom is homey. They only have snacks as food, but you can bring your own. LOVED LOVED LOVED this place!

After a day driving and hiking along the old 105 the first place we can to was Fonta Flora -…read moreWhippoorwill Farm. The parking lot seemed packed, but the place is so big that it didn't feel over crowded at all. The bar was huge and the selections many. We opted for a cold stout and an IPA, then strolled over to the pizza trailer. It was a great place to relax and enjoy a cold beer.

The crowd there is very accepting and welcomes every newcomer with open arms! They encourage an atmosphere of healthy communication and friendship! You won't find trouble or fighting there like you might at a lot of other bars at night. Easy access to a pool table gives you casual entertainment, as well as the bar sporting an arcade style bowling game and three separate TVs for watching pretty much whatever you are in the mood for. A Touch Tunes jukebox on the wall means that you can play any song your heart desires while you grab a cold one from their wide selection of beer and small selection of wine. Every once in a while, they have a fish fry hosted by a local fisherman who cooks on site, and on holidays, they offer food as well. Occasionally, they have a food truck on site. Not to mention, they have a small selection of snacks and sodas stocked at the bar at all times. Wednesday night is APA pool league night, and they welcome players to join their team, The Twisted Ducks, whether you are new to the game or an old pro. Saturday nights are Game Night and karaoke, and you can expect some great singers in the house. They offer a selection of board and card games available for you and your friends to join in on, of which the most popular are Cards Against Humanity and Heads Up! If you haven't checked this place out before, you're missing out. It looks daunting from the outside, but once you're in, the mood is absolutely wonderful! Everyone is a friend there, just waiting to connect with you! You should go down there and see what kind of fun there is to be had down by the river. You won't be disappointed!

This is such a fun group activity! I'd say it's especially fun for beer lovers, but it's also fun…read moreif you don't like beer but you do like solving puzzles. I like both, so I think this tour is awesome. I've done the tours in Carrboro and Charlotte, and both were great! It's fun to try new bars and new beers. The walking is pretty minimal - enough to warm you up if it's cold, but not so much that you'll overheat when it's warm. I've done the tour in a group of 2 and a group of 5, and it was fun both times. The beer pours were very generous, too! The puzzle-solving part of this tour is great because it requires you to pay attention to your surroundings as you walk from bar to bar. They also involve some trivia and wordplay. The mysteries of each tour are different, so I'm looking forward to solving the mysteries in Asheville and Durham next!

My wife and I took part in the Asheville mission. It was a blast! I expected it would be fun, but…read moremy expectations were exceeded: the material we got to go along with the beer was well-done and impressively professional. We'll definitely be going to other missions in the future and hope that Brewed Clues expands into other states than NC. (I let them know that I'd like to see it in Richmond's Scott's Addition next.)

The gossip was all true... great place to stop for a meal while you're on I-40 (or as the locals we…read morewere chatting with told us, stop by anytime!). Extremely friendly service. The locals raved over the nachos and I heard them ask for the recipe. I'm here to rave to you over the side salad. You get a choice of "boring fries" (their name not mine) or a side salad with your sandwich. Holy cow, that's the best side salad I've ever had. No boring iceberg and insipid tomatoes here. Spring greens, sweet onion, shaved fennel, gourmet tomatoes, pepitas (pumpkin seeds), Craisins and lots of fresh herbs with an amazing house-made vinaigrette dressing. Impressive. Absolutely make a stop here and see for yourself.

This is the best food in Swannanoa and literally 2 minutes off I-40. The beer is great as well but…read moreno joke the food is to die for Nola inspired grub. Killer vibe inside with 10 seat bar, 2 lounge areas, hightop seating and a large/covered dog and kid friendly patio. Best chicken sandwich and roast beef sandwich in all of WNC. All the sides, apps and desserts are amazing and worth going back to fryer everything on the menu. Chef Dano(founder of Root Down) started with a food truck rocking out at all those amazing Pisgah Brewery outdoor shows and most recently ran the food program at salvage station(RIP).
