    Offering creative craft cocktails and a classed-up-cool atmosphere (though it's still Asheville casual), Sovereign Remedies is one of the city's best spots for locally sourced farm-to-table and farm-to-glass delights. The light-filled space boasts high ceilings, large mirrors, locally built furnishings, and a huge array of spirits in the main bar, but there's also sidewalk seating and a space upstairs, so the place is even bigger than it first looks. Servers and bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable.

    Bob Dylan, Modest Mouse, and the Beastie Boys have played here. This midsize venue is far and away the best nightspot downtown. There's also a great dance floor, with springy wood slats, two bars serving wine and beer, and a private club for cocktail lovers on the lower level.

    More than a restaurant, more than a movie theater, Asheville Pizza and Brewing Company (also called the Brew 'n' View) is a popular spot to catch a second-run flick on a movie screen while lounging on a sofa, drinking a microbrew, and scarfing down a pizza. Kids and dogs are welcome for the food and movie, but movies are often sold out, so buy tickets before the show. There's a nice patio here, and an even bigger courtyard at the brewing company's second location in downtown's South Slope.

    An unusual combination of outdoor picnic grounds and dive bar, Bywater is on the French Broad River and near the River Arts District. Bring your own food and cook it on one of the charcoal grills beside the bar, or buy from a local food truck. Some folks tube or raft down the French Broad River and stop here for a cold one.

    Asheville's primo rooftop bar, Capella on 9 has expansive indoor and outdoor spaces tastefully designed and filled with local artworks.

There's a first-rate selection of craft cocktails and a limited but locally sourced menu of small plates.

    This is one of the most exciting breweries to come out of the Asheville area in recent years, with a taproom open nightly (and all day weekends) right downtown. Branding is wacky and irreverent, and beers manage to be both inventive and traditional (there are also ciders and meads). The taproom has a small patio as well. There's plenty of merchandise to take home, including six-packs.

    This venue encompasses all that is good, holy, and hipster about West Asheville. Is Fleetwood's a dive bar? Vintage clothing store? Rock 'n' roll hall? Wedding chapel? The answer is, a resounding: all of the above.

    A RAD favorite, the Grey Eagle features popular local and regional bands four or five nights a week, with contra dancing and patio concerts on certain nights. During the day the space doubles as a restaurant serving tacos, burritos, and nachos.

    What was once a movie house—the marquee is a dead giveaway—is now an upscale music club. Early in the evening a full dinner menu is available. At night it's bar snacks and live music: bluegrass, blues, reggae, jazz, or rock. The venue also hosts lawn concerts.

    Run by the owners of nearby Spanish tapas hotspot Cúrate, Nightbell is combination lounge and mid-tier restaurant. While sipping and snacking the night away in an interesting second-floor warehouse space, you can try savory and sweet snacks, such as a lobster roll, steak tartare, and petits fours. The drink menu shuns standards, with lots of obscure rums, agaves, single malts, and ryes.
