Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Biltmore

"Dark wood floors, muted yellow walls, bistro tables topped with flowers and additional sidewalk seating give this eatery upscale appeal. The kitchen serves tantalizing breakfasts such as New Orleans-style French toast, sweet potato pancakes and omelets with complimentary hot biscuits all day. Dinner options include shrimp and grits, nutty fried chicken with mashed sweet potatoes, and a veggie plate that might include organic honey-glazed carrots, marinated grilled tofu or candied ginger cornbread with peanut butter."

"HOURS: Sun-Thu 9am to 9pm; Fri-Sat 9am to 10pm; Brunch Sat-Sun 9am to 4pm. Long before Asheville became the hottest mountain town in the Blue Ridge region, long before the franchise expansion (see: 18 restaurants in 10 states), Tupelo Honey Cafe was leading the traditional Southern food revival. Their original downtown Asheville location, which opened in 2000, remains as popular as ever today, despite a dramatic increase in local competition."

"Address: 40 Collier Ave.; Asheville, NC 28801Phone Number: 828-475-2739Website: https://burialbeer.com/. Like Hi-Wire, Burial Beer Company has breweries across North Carolina, including South Slope in Asheville and Raleigh. They also run the Forestry Camp Bar and Restaurant, which highlights locally sourced Appalachian cuisine."

"Another South Slope favorite, Burial Beer Co., features a full-service kitchen in addition to their seasonal selections of craft beer. Whether you’re hunting down the perfect sour or looking to throw back a classic ale, chances are you’ll find it here."

"Hi-Wire Brewing opened in 2013 and has quickly become a favorite with a second Asheville location and sites in Durham and Knoxville, Tennessee (and Wilmington is coming soon). In addition to easy-drinking lagers, the brewery has earned acclaim for its tart kettle sours and complex wild ales. While their beers are known as “balanced and approachable,” the company isn’t afraid to experiment when it comes to their barrel-aged sours, wild ales, recipe development, and small-batch creations."

"Hi-Wire Brewing’s passion for craft beer shines through in every brew they create, making it one of the best breweries near Asheville, NC. They have a light-hearted circus theme that embodies the fun and creative aspect of the craft. Their beers can be found around the area at bars and restaurants, and their tasting room is always a good time. Just keep an eye out for the building that’s painted in rainbow colors– once you see it, you’re in the right place!"

"Find Hi-Wire’s beers on draught at area bars and restaurants, at its tasting room, and in 6-packs at retail outlets. Hi-Wire features 4 year-round beers – Prime Time Pale, Hi-Pitch IPA, Bed of Nails Brown, and Hi-Wire Lager – and rotating seasonal beers."

"In the land of barbecue, Buxton Hall is a step above competitors. Housed inside a historic South Slope space that was once a roller rink before clocking time as the requisite auto shop, the restaurant is the purview of chefs Elliott Moss and Meherwan Irani. They preside over the whole-hog open kitchen, churning out such fragrant fare as pulled pork sandwiches sloshed in vinegary pepper sauce, buttermilk fried chicken topped with creamy white barbecue sauce, smoked sausage platters, and barbecue pork hash with hush puppies, gravy, and rice."

"Fans of barbecue meals will love Buxton Hall Barbecue in Asheville, North Carolina. It is the result of Elliot Moss and Meherwan Irani, two chefs who have been nominated for the James Beard Award. The goal is to provide Carolina-style barbecue authentically in Asheville in a modern and more fun manner."

"What happens when two James Beard–nominated chefs, Meherwan Irani and Elliott Moss, open a whole-hog barbecue joint in a cavernous former skating rink on the South Slope?. You get the ridiculously good..."

"The brewery is located at the Hi-Wire production facility and has a lot of tables inside the building along with a great outside seating area. The brewery doesn’t serve food but there was a food truck in the parking lot that had a great selection. With plenty of room inside for kids and outside this is a great family brewery destination."

"Already one of the best patio spots in town- the outdoor space on Lexington Avenue got even better with the opening of new Aux Bar. Finally we have a restaurant as enamored with the space as we are- making use of it with fun events like outdoor movies and rotating wood-fired street food pop-ups."

"Storm Rhum Bar is a modern American bistro, serving old-school drinks and bistro-style dishes in a polished and cozy, dim-lit setting. For lunch, the chefs focus on quality over qu..."

"Rum-based cocktails are of course the specialty of Storm Rhum Bar and Bistro. But its top-notch cuisine and hip-yet-inviting indoor-outdoor venue are major draws as well."

"Proof that Asheville’s beverage scene goes far beyond beer, Ben’s Tune Up is the city’s first sake brewery, using 100 percent American rice and mountain water to create its creamy elixirs. Staying on brand with Asheville’s penchant for garage spaces, Ben’s is inside a former auto shop, with an abundant beer garden and on-site takeout window slinging sake-friendly snacks like dumplings, egg rolls, and kimchi brats. Unpasteurized sake is served cold on draft, including fruit-infused versions like pineapple-jalapeno and blueberry-lime."

"From the outside it’s hard to tell that Ben’s Tune Up even has an outdoor area. But do yourself a favor and check it out because you’ll discover a sort of outdoor/indoor space with a bunch of different places to hang out and listen to live music, talk with your friends, people watch, etc. It makes our list as one of the best outdoor spots in Asheville to grab a drink because the staff is super friendly, they often have live music and well, there’s a roof if you want one and tons of spots without one if you don’t."

"It’s a sake brewery with a beer garden and Asian fusion restaurant, combining all of your favorites into one convenient location!. It’s open in the afternoons and evenings every day and includes an urban beer garden, full-service restaurant, sake brewery, and sake tasting room. View this post on Instagram"

"Hemingway’s Cuba brings a large slice of Havana to downtown Asheville. A large and stylish indoor lounge, leading out to an equally spacious rooftop terrace with terrific views over Asheville and the Blue Ridge Mountains as a mighty backdrop. The Cuban influences are eminent in cocktails and food, but there is also local beers and wines."

"One of our favorite new restaurants also has one of our favorite new rooftop patios!. The beautiful space at Hemingway’s Cuba boasts stunning views of the mountains and is particularly great at sunset. Not to mention chef Duane Fernandes’ traditional Cuban fare makes for a meal worth remembering."

"Dine on the best Cuban food in the area at Hemingway’s Cuba, another restaurant for some of the best cheap eats in Asheville. The founders of the restaurant try to offer diners som..."

"Make a fascinating visit to the Asheville Museum Of Science on Downtown Asheville’s Patton Avenue. The museum may be small, but it has some powerful interactive exhibits which will blow any visitor away. Step inside the Hurricane Simulator and feel the full force of a storm or create rain in the French Broad River Water table display before getting up close to the skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus Rex or a robot used to explore Mars."

"The Asheville Museum of Science is a great spot for all ages, especially kids. The French Broad River Water Table is a big hit, as are the Southern Appalachian Forest play space and Hurricane Simulator. We included the Asheville Museum of Science among our favorite kids museums in North Carolina!"

"If the weather isn’t cooperating, other Asheville-area activities that could fill an afternoon include a trip to the Asheville Museum of Science (43 Patton Avenue), or a tour of Asheville’s 50 breweries. The Wicked Weed Brewpub (91 Biltmore Avenue) offers free tours."

"Just a few miles from Biltmore is this very different kind of mansion. James McConnell Smith commissioned the house in the 1840s, having it built out of brick. Building with brick was almost unheard of at the time, a signified of his wealth."

"And if you like art, definitely check out Woolworth Walk, a cool gallery and emporium located in the fully-restored downtown Woolworth building."

"This historic site is home to the Estes-Winn Antique Car Museum, the Biltmore Industries Homespun Museum, and the nationally-recognized Grovewood Gallery. Grovewood Village has something for everyone. Your visit could include a leisurely stroll through the sculpture gardens, a lesson on vintage automobiles, or a meal at the contemporary Golden Fleece restaurant."

"The museum is home to several vintage automobiles that Harry and his dealership had come to own over time. Highlights to the collection include a rare 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham and Asheville?. s own 1921 American LaFrance fire truck."
