We stayed on the main floor since the host seated us there, but later realized you can order at the bar and take your drinks up to the rooftop--something I wish we knew earlier. The bartenders were pleasant and laid-back, not pretentious at all. The cocktails were inventive and well-crafted. I went with the Coffee Date and Lord of Misrule--pretty good--but in hindsight, I wish I had tried more of their Fever-Tree and Chemist collaborations, which sounded especially interesting.

It was nice for the 10 minutes we did last. The view is great and the inside reminds me of a French cafe with giant floor to ceiling windows and doers. There was a small two person table perfectly centered near the windows that overlooked the outside city. I would you have taken a photo but there were people sitting there lost in the pure bliss of that spot and each other. It was beautiful Anyway...onto the food. It was wonderful. Had the sliders and the kale salad. That salad was DELICIOUS and huge. They do take reservations but if you go later on in the night, you can find a spot at the bar!! Have fun!!

Every corner is styled like its own unique vintage living room, with incredible attention paid to every single design element. Definitely take a lap around the entire space to soak in the full vibe! Do yourself a favor and check out their merch while you're at it; it's top-notch. The bar staff was incredibly welcoming and mixed up some phenomenal drinks. Both "The Death Becomes Her" and "He Likes To Call Me Peaches" were fantastic. They also have a massive events area and were promoting a ton of cool stuff--including a live dating show where people pitch their friends to potential dates! This was my first visit, but it certainly won't be my last.

There is tons of seating indoors and a cute backyard feeling outdoor patio. Even though it's a huge space, it's extremely intimate. The 70s living room decor is so cute. I came here with two friends, but it's also awesome for bigger groups. They have an amazing menu of signature cocktails and mocktails. We were there on an evening they were celebrating a bday with Hail Mary. They seem to have a lot of cool local events. The bartenders were amazing! They were beyond friendly and just so down to earth. We went straight to the indoor bar when we arrived and were served almost immediately. I want to plan another trip to AVL soon just so I can spend more time at DayTrip.

I love the uniqueness of the decor - so many various, random pieces that many would recognize from the past - games, toys, Nintendo on old TVs that you can actually sit down and play if you want.

The lounge and music paired with desserts and wine is such a niche and fun vibe! I love the weekly features - especially Monday fixed menu of desserts with a shot of espresso or wine! The blueberry mint ice cream deserves a cult following! It's made with REAL mint and the color is amazing. The truffle balls are both delicious and serves as a charity (sine profit donated to local charity). The cream puff is light but packed with flavor! The late hours draws in a large crowd!! The waitress is so nice and upbeat. I will definitely have to make a trip back or before I head home!!

For dessert, I highly recommend the ice cream brûlée; it was incredibly delicious and unique. The only minor drawback for me was the cocktail selection, which is limited to just a couple of drinks and a few spritzers. However, they do have a decent wine menu with several great aromatic wine offerings. Because it's a intimate venue with limited seating, you might encounter a wait. We arrived early in the evening, and by the time we left, a line was already starting to form!.
