Patio season is officially here, Asheville. ☀️
And this city does outdoor dining better than most. We're talking mural-covered beer gardens, ivy-draped wine bars, creekside picnic tables, and open-air cafés where the sourdough pancakes are worth the line.
Our latest blog rounds up 8 of the best spots to eat and drink alfresco right now:
🍺 — shipping container beer garden in the RAD with daily food trucks
🍻 — 2-acre historic camp setting with 24 taps and a full kitchen
🍺 — creekside patio, award-winning ESB, and local Hickory Nut Gap burgers
🍷 — Michelin-recognized wine bar with a garden straight out of a dream
🥖 — converted garage with big garage doors, Michelin Bib Gourmand, and killer sourdough
☕ — 1920s cottage wrapped in a garden, farm-to-table breakfast that locals swear by
🍕 — classic downtown patio with wood-fired pizza and 35+ craft beers (call ahead — patio isn't always open!)
🍸 — native plant patio in East Asheville, globally inspired plates, and genuinely fair prices
