There are many fun and exciting things to do in Asheville, but Asheville Rooftop Bar Tours has to be one of the best!
In the last few years, Asheville has gone from one or two rooftop bars to nearly one on every city block downtown, and more are on the way. Now, you could drive to each one, or hire a Taxi/Uber/Lyft, but that would cost more than the parking. Of course, we don’t recommend drinking and driving, so what’s the best way to tour all of the incredible new skyward hangouts in Asheville?
Fortunately, local entrepreneur Kaye Bentley saw a need and created Asheville Rooftop Bar Tours! Their driver and van will escort you to the “A” List Rooftop Bar destinations in Asheville, and your tour guide will throw in interesting history of Asheville as shown from on high with pictures and stories. (They even have some food deals arranged at different stops). The tour is a great way to meet new friends, learn about Asheville’s history, and enjoy some great food and drinks. Not having to drive is just icing on the cake!
Asheville is “Beer City USA” and there is no shortage of amazing beer choices! Like cocktails? The creative bartenders in Asheville will not disappoint you. Wine connoisseurs will enjoy the plentiful selections available as well. Every location we visited had no shortage of choices to suit any taste. Of course, if you prefer, non-alcoholic beverages are always available. (Just a note, to take the tour, you must be 21)
Where does the van go? Each tour includes stops at 3-4 locations depending on which one you book, and may include:
- The Social Lounge
- The Montford Rooftop Bar
- SkyBAR
- Capella on 9
- Hemingway’s Cuba
- Wxyz Lounge
- Pillar Rooftop Bar
How often are the tours? Actually, this may surprise you. To cater to Tourists and Locals, Asheville Rooftop Bar Tours operates every day of the year. Yes, EVERY Day of the year! Tours can fill up, especially during peak seasons like October-November when the Fall Foliage is in full color, so book in advance, and don’t miss the van!
