This was my home away from home and always be my personal cheers bar. I love the staff and owners. I hosted Cocktails and Karaoke every Wednesday night. I cant wait to visit again.

I love this neighborhood bar. Very chill and laid back by day and saucy fun by night.

OHenrys is a great place.. You dont have to worry about being judged there, like most bars ( everywhere ).. Its a hometown bar with a hometown feeling..

Got there and thought oh no this isnt OReilly Auto Partsseems fun tho.

OHenrys is a low key fun place. Every one is very friendly and they have a great Drag Show on the weekends. It is a bar not a big dance club, but they still have a dance floor that you can dance on.

I remember the old building, there were the old speak easy booths. Back in 1981 - 89, it had a basement area. I held my Diva shows with one or two others. There werent many that did that then. Use to make sandwiches for Brunch there, run across the street and work in the Jarreds 5 star french continental late afternoon, then for dinners run into the back of Piccolo Mundo. One of my favorite things was when I got jobs to paint Murals on The Civic Center N wall when Barnum came to town, all in all I think 22, from W Asheville to Blantons Jr College, and even the Pepsi plant. Hung allot of my art in Malaprops. The best memories were hanging out at OHenrys. I still have proprieties up on the Blue Ridge Ill have to get out that way soon and stopping at the New O Henrys is a must. It sounds as though You wonderful guys n gals have tried to keep the best of the things I remember from the high-points in my life from that time, even the club that used to be called Trax now called The Plug and Paradox, hope they are still a place I can feel comfortable in too. Sincerely L Riki Johnson, Happy in NM

Oh man..... what can I say.... they need to get with the times. There is so much they can do to make it just.... AMAZING! it had its prime but.... its so run down! They need to keep up. Loved it at one point but, we WANT MORE!

If you enjoy a coordinated theft, check this place out! Male/female team attempted heist while a bartender laughed as I explained what had happened. Watch your valuables if you aren’t a local!!!!!!!!

Good priced drinks, no cover, great music and friendly environment. Went in with my partner and had very nice conversations with the patrons and staff. Very casual vibes, and they have ski ball!

Relaxing place, my partner and I are first time here. Nice and relaxing. Friendly staff :)

Wonderful bartenders. Great drag shows.

Fun bar. Quiet night but still pleasant. Good bartenders.

I was only there for a few minutes with some friends, but it seemed like a fun place in general. Clean and energized environment.

I stopped by today for the first time and I will definitely be back!Immediately was greeted kindly and felt comfortable.

Clean fun great people very entertaining.will go again.

A great hometown bar. Friendly staff, friendly patrons. My friends and I certainly enjoyed this place.

Great hometown and family friendly bar. Reasonable Drink prices, location is good as well and not in a trashy neighborhood.

Good music and reasonably priced drinks! Fun night out, lively shows, great entertainment! Definitely a must go for the gay community and its supporters

Great bar. 3 pool tables and skeetball. Drink specials every night. Affordable and clean. Nice patio area to sit outside

Always a great place to go for good drinks.

This is a great, relaxed environment to enjoy a conversation and drink.

Will never forget you folks you treated me greatly and Capri kindly I like that I will come back

Pretty nice private club. Tracey (?) Was excellent and taught us 5 guys the ropes to joining the club and signing in as required. Nice neighborhood cheers type of bar.

A melting pot of awesome people. Will definitely be going back.

55 people on a Saturday at 12:30am is upsetting. Seems to be the new normal. How can we change this, Asheville?

Always have fun here. Great gay bar with pool tables and friendly bartenders.

I visited the place last night I really enjoyed the drinks the music , the DJ was very nice playing all the songs that I requested, the drag show was cool, next time in Ashville Im gonna stop by for sure.

Fun atmosphere and great drink specials!

The location was ok, not much parking, music was ok, crowd was ok. We were visiting from out of town. You have to get a membership to enter, its good for a year. (Its not expensive.) What we noticed was there were a lot of overly drunk people that could barely stand still being served. We left because it became more of a safety hazard than a relaxing evening. The next time were in town we may try it again, it might be better (for us) when they have an event.

Great place to be yourself in a welcoming environment

There are not many gay bars In Asheville but O’henry’s offers you a great crowd and very friendly service. Also, a bouncer helped me with a drunk who was bugging me! Thanks! Excellent. Check out the special gin tonics served on the mirror balls!

Great place to go for a relaxing drink and the staff are great

Great laid back spot

The best place I have ever been too. Staff is outstanding.

O. Henrys has always been the Gay Cheers of Ashevegas. Clean, comfortable, inviting, and unpretentious. Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name, and sometimes you dont. This place works out well on both accounts. The staff is friendly, the drinks are stout and cheap, and the oldest branded gay bar in North Cackalacky is still proving now more than ever why.

Super friendly bartenders, and even the customers are awesome

Its fun. Friendly

I always have a great time at the O! The bartenders and the crowd is always fun, and the cocktails are good enough to drink! :-)

Definitely a highlight of my trip. People were friendly and the drinks were great!

I love the staff and patrons here, pretty much the only bar I go to on my own.

Great place to meet friends and have some drinks. Great shows too,

Great place, lovely people!

Cool local bar. Waiting for 15 min plus because only one bartender, not so cool. $6 to get in and wait 15 or more minutes for every drink made me leave and find somewhere else to go. Would return with better service.

I had the best experience and time here! Cannot wait to go back!!!

Fun atmosphere, lots of events, and good community

Karaoke was great. Heather is the best bartender Ive ever had. And Jarvis is a master dj and singer

Enjoy was clean and can see from street

I love this place its such a wonderful vibe great bartenders!!!

Loving the Halloween Vibe...Very Cool & Awesome!!

Asheville is a progressive town with amazing restaurants culture and a progressive attitude. But walking into this bar, I felt like I went back in time 30 or 40 years. it wasn’t even 80s night and they were playing music from the 70s and 80s as if that was hip and current. The bar is run down, the drinks were weak and there was a cover charge to get in - when there was probably 20 people there. Why is Asheville treating gay people like it’s the 1970s, and why do we have to sign in like it was a club why are gay people different from the rest of Asheville? Why do people settle? Why can’t such a hip and vibrant city provide an environment for gay people that fits within the realm of the 21st-century?

Was welcomed warmly, had plenty of laughs, and just an overall wonderful experience! My new favorite bar, hands down. Gentleman tending the bar with all the piercings is all kinds of awesome! My partner and I will definitely return time and time again from now on.

O.Henrys is the number one spot for the guarantee of a good time at THE only surving gay bar in Asheville. Whether you are a local (born, bread, and raised) or a visitor, the atmosphere is inviting and the staff is welcoming. Meet a fellow traveler or spark a friendship with a long-term patron and enjoy conversation and communion for hours! Ive been in many spaces like OHenrys, local gay bars, but there is a unique kind of magic about O.Henrys that Ive seen play out time and time again. Longtime, long-seperated friends just happen to come to O.Henrys at the same time, reuniting by sheer luck or chance. It happens often enough to lead one to believe in a certain influence of a grander design that ensures particular friendships and relationships are forged for the betterment of both parties, both persons just having had run into each other at random despite both visiting from out of town and neither person seeing the other for years. There are no consequences at this special spot. So, come for the drink and the camaraderie, stay for the full experience. You will be enchanted.

Went there last night to finish off my birthday trip to Asheville. As a bisexual woman, sometimes it can be hard to find gay bars that feel accepting to me and include me within their spaces. Ohenrys delivered exceptionally, friendly people that supported each other, incredible staff and a warm inclusive lgbtq+ atmosphere. You could tell that all walks of life were welcome here. From a money aspect, I paid a $6 entry fee which is super cheap compared to other bars in Asheville and their drinks were super reasonably priced. I recommend going with the on special liquor, because it doesnt matter what the bartenders make it is going to deliver and be delicious. Will definitely be returning on my next trip to the high country, thanks for making my night spectacular.

Clan atmosphere friendly people.

Grab a beer sit back and enjoy, very cool bartender.

Its a lotta fun starting around 9:30 onwards... Wander around, youll find some spots featuring unsolicited fun. Possibly the best club in the south. Dance the night away.

Some friends and I Went out to ohenry’s on a Saturday night. We got there and the atmosphere was pretty dead. We went for the drag show, but ended up leaving because the show was pretty boring. All the queens kinda stood there and didn’t dance. And the announcer kept asking us to yell, and if it wasn’t good enough she would nagthe crowed to do it over and over again. It became really obnoxious after the third or fourth time.

Was very disappointed .It was close to where we were staying so thought it would be fun to meet the locals .LOL they could care less that you were from out of town.It was my first time to Ashville NC. The city is nice very artsy.So you would think the gay scene would be thriving for a city this size.From what we were told at the bar it is the only remaing gay bar in Ashville .These reviews say it is voted number one.. ITS THE ONLY ONE LOL..Should have checked YELP before we went there it is truly accurate.Google reviews isnt at all !Come to Atlanta GA.Where all bars are friendly ! We welcome visitors and there are lots of bars to choose from. Only 3 1/2 hours away JUST SAYING!

Fun n friendly bar, great beverages and entertainment.

Nice little bar

Great place to hangout and meet great people.

Loved the drag show!

Stop by and see Jack hes awesome!

Great drinks

I want to enjoy O’Henry’s but the experience is like DYING a slow death. The music is so dated until 10:00

OPEN!!!! Always great place to have a nice drink see a drag show and everybody loves everybody... DOG!! Friendly..

They have Skeeball. End of story

This neighborhood bar is under new management and totally renovated. The men here are a friendly crowd and there are great drink prices. We are very impressed.

Always love going here

Karaoke night... 5 people and the bartender was very slow and on their phone a lot. I had to practically wave her down to get a drink. Not my best bar experience :/

Definitely a highlight of my trip

First-timer, stopped by on a Friday evening while visiting area. Meet some nice people, staff was very friendly, place was casual and seemed like a good local place to see friends and grab a drink or two..only suggestion... they need to name a drink after Bugsies Bounce lol...Ill definitely be back ..

Its a pretty good place. The membership is reasonably priced, and so are the drinks. If you accidentally come on the wrong night ie: drag (apparently 3/7 days), you will be insulted and have derogatories shouted at you for not actively spectating the gaudy theatrics. I guess you cant have it all; a good place to drink and to make friends. Very loud, I guess if you like that, but then why go to a bar? There are also drugs and sketchy/grabby types there. Go with friends to avoid those.

Every time I am visiting town from Miami Beach which is where I live, I just need to stop this place, I just love it... Very nice and friendly stuff, cool and chill people, cheap drinks, nice decoration, etc... Simplemente me encanta

On a visit to Asheville my husband and I enjoyed OHenrys very much. Good people and great drinks.

I have been coming to this place for almost 17 years and I will always love it. Sometimes it is packed and sometimes it is quiet, I like that it is not always predictable. What is predictable though is that the people who work there are generally cool and the space is open to everyone in the LGBTQA community. Even though the ownership has changed over the years there is always a theme of openness and fun and you get the feeling lots of people in Asheville know each other and support one another. Asheville seems kind of metropolitan sometimes but we are still a fairly small city and the community is tight knit. Plus it is the oldest gay bar in NC, which means it is a part of NC and Southern history! Def take in a drag or burlesque show if you can.

This place was a gift from God when I needed it the most.

Nice hidden downtown gay(man) bar...with a awesome dance club in the back. All really friendly bar tenders and clientele and this is coming from a woman whos been to her fair share of pretensions gay club/bars and this is not one of those. Great place!

The place is great but the older woman behind the bar is extremely rude and sucks at making drinks.

Interesting place. never really been anyplace quite like it before. its definitely an experience.

A Great Gayborhood bar with friendly people great staff and awesome drink soecials. Something going almost everyday of the week from trivia and karaoke to drag shows. Wednesday jaraoke you can win an awesome cake from a local bakery a must go place

Good food.

We were on vacation from Charlotte, and had a great time!
