This is a great place to go when you need something to do for the afternoon, but just want to hang out and enjoy yourself. The restaurant has loads of places to sit, but call ahead for a reservation if you have more than four people. The service is fast, and the food is all very fresh. There aren’t loads of choices, but most are made to share so order a few things and just enjoy grazing.

There is often live music and a beautiful trail to walk that leads to a little meadow down by the French Broad. You can easily spend hours here and have a great time without wearing yourself out or running all over the place.

Visited on July 5th — it was super busy, so we had to wait a while, but the atmosphere made it worth it. The food was decent, and big thanks to Megan for the great service!
The must-try is definitely the guava cheesecake — absolutely delicious!

Practically in the backyard of the Asheville airport, Sierra Nevada Taproom & Brewery is the perfect first stop to kickstart your trip. We headed there straight after landing, and it absolutely delivered.

This place is massive—like, mini beer Disneyland massive. Tons of beer choices with great flights for tasting, and the service was spot-on. Prices were super reasonable too, which was a nice surprise.

My favorite part? The outdoor area. Between the space heaters, the cozy fire pit, and the open-air setup, it's made to be enjoyable year-round. They’ve also got a great space for live concerts, which I’d love to come back for. And bonus points—it’s dog friendly!

Definitely a must-visit whether you're a craft beer lover or just looking for a chill place to hang with friends (or pups) in Asheville.

We loved our visit… for a Thursday evening we made reservations but would have been able to get seated without them.
It was a rainy evening so outside enjoyment was out of the question.
Inside, our service was way above par. He helped us with brew choices to try ones you can only get at this location. We especially liked the 1/2 pint option as we could try more.
The food choices are limited but everything was fresh and delicious.
From the popular pretzel and beer cheese, pale ale burger, masala shrimp and grits to the berry chocolate cobbler….yum-yum-yum.
As a full-time RV couple (@nspiredadventures) it’s not often we find such a jewel.

This was a very highly recommended spot in Asheville, North Carolina. Friends of ours from Florida mentioned that we needed to stop here. We did and was not disappointed. The only thing that seemed a little awkward was the food. Was there within seconds of ordering, which is a testament to their speed and quality I have to send my steak back because it was a little warm. I like my food hot but the experience was awesome. Food was great. Good combination of appetizers overall the whole family enjoyed it. Afterwards you get to go back and go look at their garden amphitheater walk the grounds very nice to sit down on some chairs that are in the back all throughout the ground. Afterwards, you get to go tour the actual brewing plant.
