42 Best Bars near Candler

“Stopped by for a couple of beers on Saturday. It's a brewery with a taproom. Taproom is a pretty cool space with all kinds of options for seating from barstools to comfy couches.Very clean and welcoming and inviting space. The taproom is upstairs above the brew floor so you can check out the beer making process while enjoying your drinks. A tv had college basketball on so we were able to enjoy our team playing ball while we drank our beers.Bartender was helpful and quite nice.“

“We found this little gem by chance and were not disappointed. Great atmosphere, kid friendly (albeit its an adult place). We sat at a small corner table by the bar. We enjoyed some sharable plates, great wines, mocktails for the kids, excellent wines and my wife a great Vesper made by Luci (the bartender). But the cherry on top was the fact that she made a perfect Irish Coffee - a simple drink, but buttered by 99% of the bar tenders. We will be back.“

“Carigan is quite literally the most amazing server I have ever had the pleasure of being served by. She is able to flawlessly handle a bar filled with 75-100 people and ensure everyone has a drink and a good time. This bar is amazing and I highly recommend!“

“Had a blast! Great selection of pinball machines, arcade cabinets. They even had ALL the consoles with a great selection of games to choose from. There's a QR code to scan that will break down the game selection by consoles so you don't have to stand there and comb through all the games yourself. Go check it out, you won't be disappointed.“

“Absolutely love this place! Almost scared to rate it so high and encourage others to stop in. But they truly do deserve it. Wonderful staff always available to answer questions and give insight on their vast menu of specialty cocktails and Mezcal flights. Amazing atmosphere offering both inside and outside seating with heaters to take the edge off the winter temperatures. It is a small building/occupancy but I think it truly adds to the ambience of the space. And to top it off the food truck parked just behind is amazing.Parking: Lot between the brewery and Anoche has plenty of parking. Also a few spots on the street.Kid-friendliness: Not a location I would recommend taking your kiddos.“

“This place is really unique. I'm not from NC, so when we saw this on yelp, we knew we had to try it out. It's really cool. The drinks are interesting and d the bartenders are super friendly! The vibe is cool if you like unique places. They had a show when we tried to go. They said we just needed to stay in a certain area and didn't charge us extra. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in Asheville!“

“Such a fan of Botanist and Barrel’s ciders and wines. I love that they are all natural and contain no weird additives. Extra brownie points since their organic ingredients are sourced locally from their farm or other local sources! Love the tasting rooms ambiance and chill vibes. Highly recommend!!“

“This place was amazing to discover while staying in flat rock for the week. Enjoyed some food and drinks while playing some board games that we never played. Love the concept of the store. Getting away from the devices and spend some quality time like the good old days.“

“Loved the experience! The dining room is beautifully decorated. The bread that they brought out for an appetizer was really good. I especially liked how they had different types of bread to try. The food was very good too. I got the lobster tails, and both had really good flavor. Everything else in the dish was a very good compliment to it too. The filet mignon was very good as well. Very flavorful. Next time I visit I will definitely come back here for dinner.“

“Grade A++ tiki experience. Excellent service. Got three drinks, one a bowl, all absolutely excellent. The decor is spot on. Only issue was music could have been island tropical but was blues. But I like the blues too. Just not right for the vibe for the decor. But 100% recommend anyone who is tired of all the beer to pop in here and escape to Bali hai.“

“We went on a local brewery tour as a group and we loved every minute of it. Our tour host, Cloud, made this tour better than great with a genuine feeling excitement about getting to show off some of the local breweries and other sights and locations in between. The bus was a fun and unique way of touring the city with its artsy touches and decor. There was nothing better than cruisin' through the streets of Asheville while listening to a fantastic band, Perpetual Drip, get their groove on and make the whole bus dance in their seats. The three breweries that we went to had a nice selection of beers that should suit most everyone and there were usually some sort of food truck/trailer at each location in case you start to get snacky because of all the delicious beer you have been swigging.If I ever get the chance I would do this tour or another one that Lazoom provides as I had a super time on this brewery tour ♥️♥️“

“Stumbled upon this gem of a pizza food truck while exploring Asheville's brewery scene and, wow, what a find! The hot honey and bianca pizzas are must-tries; they've quickly become our go-tos. Fresh, hot, and consistently delicious, we find ourselves tracking this truck's location just to get another slice. It's a clear winner in our book. Five stars across the board!“

“I went into the Crow and Quill to get a night cap on my birthday. The service was amazing. Both bartenders were so sweet and accommodating. They made my birthday really special. I had the best gin and tonic ever (not kidding). I will definitely be coming back.“

“Interesting little spot in West Asheville. Smash burgers and fires were hot of the grill and very filling.Josh was both bartender and waiter but was very attentive.Parking: The parking lot is small, so we can see having to find a spot up the street and walk down.“

“My wife and I happened to spot this cidery as we were walking through the South Slope area of downtown Asheville. Boy were we happy to bump into this place! A great addition to the many breweries that this area is known for.My wife is a huge fan of ciders. After trying the pick your own flight, she said this was one of the best cider experiences she has had. Sweet ciders, dry ciders, spicy ciders...you name it, they have it. In addition, they have a large assortment of beers as well for anyone who doesn't drink cider.Vibrant and fun place with super friendly staff. Add in some comfy couches, tvs, shuffleboard, pool table and a ping pong table, and you have one fun spot all the way around! Dogs are welcome inside, which is a huge bonus to any pet lover.“

“Really cool little spot in downtown Asheville. My husband has performed here twice and it's neat, very hole in the hole I would call it. Staff is friendly and professional. Punk-ish atmosphere. Not stuck up. Would reccomend anyone check this place out.“

“Our absolute favorite restaurant in the southeast, the food here is just special. Their food is thoughtfully crafted, made with love, and beautifully plated. They can transform a pile of beans into the most exquisite dish. My husband, who is an incredible (professional) chef in his own right, and I think it’s better than some of the Michelin Star restaurants we’ve been to. And the service is top notch as well, we always feel so welcome and cozy here. It’s an absolute gem!“

“Great venue and outdoor space to linger before the concert. Drinks were reasonable, and the food was very good. I saw Christone " Kingfish" Ingram. Great show, good sound. The concert was broadcast to an outdoor screen by two firepits.“

“One of the original breweries here in town & one of my favorite breweries for beer in the country. It's a don't miss kind of thing place. Only come for the beer & people watchin. Have a great walk about the arts district or just go for a walk along the river. IMO - they make the best beer of anywhere you'll ever go.“

“The sort of thing you would expect to find in Asheville, this is a retro shop that prints vinyl records and also has a large cafe. I missed the tour, but stopped in for a quick bite. Their chai was heavily spiced with an intriguing flavor and only a hint of tea aftertaste. The pastry they had on display actually wasn't that great, but I took a nice and chewy chocolate chip cookie to go. The cafe was large and would be a nice place to sit.“

“Simply put, this venue was the best ever. The staff is exceptional. They went above and beyond to be as accommodating as possible for my wife and I because of our health issues. They truly made this night incredible! The stage and seating/standing room is small, which just makes the experience more intimate and amazing. There is a Taqueria inside which makes some of the most amazing, authentic food I've ever had. I would have seriously driven from Spartanburg South Carolina just to eat here! I know that I will be coming back as often as I can! I'd very highly recommend that if you want to have a magical night out with excellent food and music from the best staff around, you've got to come here!“

“Rosetta’s is a delicious restaurant with a diverse menu chock full of vegan items. They also have a great selection of drinks and vegan desserts. Unfortunately, since moving to their new location, they have been getting more and more expensive. The fare stays the same but the prices get higher. The food, however, is fantastic. You’ll just feel the hit on your wallet as well as the one in your stomach!Vegetarian options: Extremely vegetarian and vegan friendly. There’s no meat on the menu!“

“It’s definitely very mellow at the mellow mushroom .Server was very nice .I had a Greek salad with grilled chicken . The chicken was cooked perfectly except it had way too much salt on it . The salad was fair otherwise.The pizza was the real highlight . Crust was so perfect . Was the best pizza crust I ever had.“

“We had such a great time! We were in town to see Biltmore and hike the Pisgah Forest and were looking for some live music. We started at the guitar bar at the other end of the building, but it was way too crowded and not what we were looking for. We heard the music from this place and wandered in. The band Binz was amazing and so much fun, the place is fun and funky and cozy with lots of art on the walls, and everybody was really friendly. And a guy came in with three big dogs that went around and said hi to everybody! The only thing is, we almost missed it because it was not on any of my Google searches!“

“If ever there was a place that made me want to move here and become a regular, Fleetwoods is it. Owners and crowd were super friendly to us outsiders. Love the support of both local and touring musicians. The thrift store part had a ton of gems. Just FYI it's not a food spot so get dinner before/after.“

““Crave” was the second stop on my dad’s “80th” birthday experience. The waitress “Ravyn” was wonderful. She made the experience so much fun. The desserts were phenomenal and the decaf coffee was delicious. We will go back more than just on birthdays.“

“Absolutely loved it at wagbar today. I didn’t even take my dogs and it was such a great experience just vibing at the bar and watching the dogs run around. Everyone was so chill and relaxed. I will definitely go again with or without my dog.“

“My “food” rating is actually for the drinks — Little Jumbo is my favorite cocktail bar in Asheville.Parking: Parking across the street at Five Points Restaurant (which is closed when Little Jumbo is open). I’ve never had a problem finding a spot.“

“We LOVED our experience at the Golden Pineapple! It was our first time there, we've heard a little about it. The drink menu is very fun and has something for everyone. Non alcoholic and alcoholic options. We both had the Bodega sandwich and it was one of the best sandwiches we both have ever had! Everything about the sandwich was incredible and the side salad was so delicious! The atmosphere was nothing short of pleasant. Fantastic place. We will definitely be coming back.P and J“

“Me and my wife loved everything about this place. Located in the heart of the city. The service was A+ when we were there and the food was incredibly delicious! We will be regulars here without a doubt. If anyone is ever in Asheville, stop here for brunch. You will not be disappointedDietary restrictions: Had some gluten free options“

“absolutely stellar cocktails and awesome vibe. so happy to stumble on this place and would definitely come back. you can tell the bartenders know what they're doing. the spitting devil was 10/10 and the perfect daiquiri is accurately named.“

“Stopped here last week while int he area with my girlfriend. The beer selection is second to none. However, the menu is a 30 page folder. We stuck to the tap menu on Untappd for simplicity's sake. If you live there, direct the menu, but for a quick visit it is overwhelming. The atmosphere is neat, but it was cold, when they finally closed the big door, it warmed up a bit. The bartender was mostly disinterested and he was the only staff present. So Menu ... 5 stars ... but simplify it. Atmosphere ... 4 stars ... pretty cool, but cold and not that clean Service ... 3 stars“

“We love Wedge Brewing! If you're in town- it's a must visit for beer! Great location, good vibes, and good service! Been coming here for years, and the only thing we wish is that they'd bring back Paynes Pale Ale (our favorite!!! Please!!!!) Cheers??“

“Excellent intimate venue. Good wine choices in addition to a wide range of beer both bottled and on tap. They get excellent music acts and if you live the blues you need to check out Mr Jimmy on Friday nights. The only complaint is they could use more space.“

“Awesome little corner bar facing the Woolworth building downtown. Great to watch the various Asheville citizenry from an open air window overlooking the street. Very small establishment but nice and chill. Beautiful bar and wooden bar tables. Best thing is the beer selection is spot on. I was planning to do an afternoon pub crawl but I mostly hung out here to drink.They also do some really great smelling coffee too for any friend of bill w out there still into the casual bar scene!“

“Neat little place! We needed a place to hang out until our Air B&B was ready. While it's odd to have a bar at a gas station, the backyard area was awesome. It's fenced in and there wasn't much of a crowd, so we could let our dog off leash for a bit & he had a ball! Most drinks were $4 & they even had a good berry seltzer!“

“this was a awesome places but after them hearing a friend of mine set off a small fire work at a show that didn't even involve them tom the owner only banned us but also startes harassing his employees for associating with us outside of work which is a big no no and has also been band from other venues cause he has been saying we are anarchist and harassing people to not allow us into places. good job, does he even know what sovereign means lol.“

“They have a new local Poblano food truck with incredible flavors. The bartender was so welcoming, and reflects Asheville's original scene. Creative, authentic, and sustainability focused. We sat down to enjoy avocado sandwiches and over all a queer friendly vibe. Puppy friendly. It great for after the park lounging.Vegetarian options: Cactus tacos & mushroom quesadillas.“

“Handlebar has recently come under new ownership, and I must say it's truly exceptional. The Thursday night trivia event is fantastic, with well-paced rounds and questions catering to all levels of knowledge. They have a pool table with great rails, and the bartenders are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The drink prices are reasonable, and the overall atmosphere is fantastic. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“This is likely our favorite brewery in Asheville! We have a wonderful experience every time we visit which is unfortunately every few years, but always worth the wait. We stopped in last Monday afternoon and were welcomed immediately, the bartender from Denver who I unfortunately didn’t get his name was one of the nicest people we’ve met in a long time. We stayed longer than anticipated because we were having such an enjoyable time with great beers! Their tap list ranges from basic lagers to breakfast porters and many things in between. They have some beer options to go in this location, for merchandise we went next door to the main Green Man brewery. You can’t beat the vibe here at Dirty Jacks though, can’t wait until we can visit again!“

“Great beer selections with a limited number of craft cocktails. Good food - more upscale bar food. Sprawling outdoor area if you want to spread out or bring your dog. Always friendly service. If you are in Mills River definitely stop by for a beer and the chicken sandwich.“

“Although this restaurant is on a main road across from a dark lounge (Desoto's) and a muffler shop, the food and drinks we had were delicious! 50+ yo couple from Camden SC in town for the week. First time visit. Ordered cocktails: Smoke Show, special drink The Spice Is Right, Pinapple Mai Tai, and Feta Fries. Yummy! Delicious!!! The cashier let us taste the CBD beer, and it was good too! We sat outside behind the flower boxes, which were a really nice touch and helped set a better atmosphere due to the traffic. The employees were friendly and helpful. Can't wait to come back!!Parking: We parked right on the street right in front of the restaurant . Not sure about other parking.“
