Amazing Southern comfort food. One of the best restaurants in Asheville. This is the original location. Since it opened, Tupelo has gone on to become something of a phenomenon, spawning numerous other locations and getting tons of awards.

Some of the best traditional Indian food in Asheville. Unlike Chai Pani, which is pretty much the definition of hipster Indian food, this place is old-school and sticks to the tried and true recipes. Cool, ceremonious decor as well.

Easily some of the best German food you'll find in the South. Maybe that's not saying much, but seriously, this place is good. Food is rich and decadent, like all good German food, but it's also damn delicious.

This is a very special place. It's hard to call it a "cafe," because it's so much more than that. It's a wine bar. It's a cafe. It's a gorgeous bookstore with tunnels of books and weird kookie manuscripts. It's got couches and lounge chairs hidden in book-filled crannies. It sometimes has live music. Above all, it's a great place to sit down, relax, and have some great conversation.

If you happen to be in South Asheville, this is one of Tupelo's satellite locations. I say "satellite" because it isn't the original Tupelo, which is in downtown Asheville, but it does have all the same food and is pretty darn great.

One of the best restaurants in Asheville. Very understated, as are most things in West Asheville, where the hipstery set lives. Everything in West Asheville is chill, nondescript, and usually great. The Admiral is no different: incredible food in an unassuming atmosphere. Sometimes live music (a good bet at many places in Asheville).

Started by the founder of Curate, which is clearly the best restaurant in Asheville. Nightbell is also up there: fantastic tapas food from all kinds of traditions. Also great cocktails and a cool atmosphere that mixes modern French decor with rustic elements.

This is a microbrewery, a bar, a restaurant, and a movie theater. It's also one of the most "Asheville" spots you can go to, complete with weird painted murals of aliens, cozy second-hand couches for watching movies, an arcade, and some of the best microbrews you'll find. This place is steeped in Asheville history and is a great spot.

Most popular music venue in Asheville. This is where all the big-name bands come. Try to get tickets early, because they sell out fast. If you're interested in music, also check out the Grey Eagle, which is a little less pretentious and also has awesome music.

One of the more popular downtown bars for locals as well as visitors. Very small interior space with a room in the back that used to be a bank vault. Now it's just a regular room.

Asheville is full of microbreweries, but how about a gigantic brewery? Sierra Nevada does not mess around when it comes to breweries, and they chose to situate their entire East Coast operation in Asheville. The result is a sprawling, majestic, badass brewery full of gleaming pipes, immaculate factory floors, and of course a bar and restaurant. As it turns out, the food is some of the best in Asheville. Come here and enjoy the beer, take a tour (book in advance), and enjoy the gourmet deliciousness.

Entertainment & Activities
This is where really big performances, shows, etc happen in Asheville. It's our closest thing to a stadium for major acts. Orange Peel is still better for live music, but anything that is massively popular and needs a huge audience will have to happen here.
