If one of the DJs, Daniel, doesnt take requests, its because he plays really good, old-school music and some modern. And please stop trying to climb in the cage

Great DJ, a good mix of music and ages. Most tended to be mid 30s and under the night we went and we are 60s so we were probably the oldest there but even the young ones spoke to us and danced with us as a group. Almost a speak easy or 50s dinner look to the booths. Fun lighting all over, puts you in a good mood when you walk in the door. You do have to buy a membership to get in which is only $3. Would highly recommend if you want a fun night of dancing.

I am traveling from Tennessee, and I was hoping for a fun night out with friends. On Friday February 28th at 11 PM, the doorman refused entry because I had a state ID rather than a drivers license. He claimed that it was North Carolina state law to refuse me as it was not a drivers license, despite the fact that it is a Tennessee state issued identification card. Apparently, I cant drink because I dont drive. (Youd think it would be the other way around.) This has not been a problem anywhere else. I understand the right to refuse, but he should be properly trained by the establishment. Train your people better. Youre losing money.

I am from out of town, but I have been to Tiger Mountain multiple times. Its always a great experience. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is absolutely LIT, and the music is on point for the environment. They also have a photo booth and lots of board games...which is very cool. I highly recommend Tiger Mountain!

Love this little spot whenever Im forced to go downtown lol. The environment is welcoming... I rarely have to wait to be served by the super kind bartenders. And the crowd is always really chill. No complaints for this spot.

I love this spot. Absolutely excellent bar with Really friendly, jovial bartenders. Try the fernet. Clean facilities/building, right next to Static Age. Really cool art on the walls, including beer cap Jesus. Great vibe and atmosphere. Love the colored lights hanging from the ceiling. Great spot to grab a drink and chill.

Extremely disappointed in the service we experienced here. On a Tuesday night a bridal party went into this dry, dead, empty bar. We were immediately asked to leave because we did not tip...even with our tabs left open and our cards behind the bar with the bartender. We explained we we are from out of town and the bars that we usually go to, it is custom to tip at the end, instead of every individual drink. The locals at the bar began screaming and yelling in our faces. The bridal party experienced brutal harassment from males and females. At one point a man was shaking his fist at the bride in our group. I can understand the frustration in not receiving tips. Once we tried to fix the issue it was already too late. This was honestly the worst bar I’ve ever been too

For a club in Asheville this place has great potential. The vibe, music, and atmosphere are great. Unfortunately, they let things like cleanliness, and upkeep slip. The womens restroom looked like it hadnt been checked on in hours, there were clogged toilets, stalls without toilet Paper, broken bottles on the floor, etc.

Review №22

Ive only been once, but my impression was that it was funky, clean fun. Everyone here was dressed like they came from the book nerd club, and there was no skanky behavior. My gin and tonic was so-so, but I tried a friends Black Russian and it was on point. Note: it flips from a sleepy bar to a circa 90s jams boogie scene at 1130. Came for a friends bachelorette party and there were at least two other bachelorette and one bachelor parties there. Id go again.

Review №27

Disgusting as a business and as a location.The dance floor and restroom floor were quite quite similar. Covered in human bodily fluids and permanently sticky. Drug abuse obvious in restrooms.Men use the womens restroom door like a peep show, even to the point where they open the door and look inside.Once you enter youll immediatelly pinball into twenty other people just trying to find a seat.Once you find the seat, its unsafe to even sit on it because theyre broken, have exposed hardware, and you can ride the bench seats to the ground. Also sticky.Youd think theyd be able to fix then by charging their cover charge every time to walk in, even after going outside for a phone call or a cigarette they make you pay to get back in.On the bright side, its the best one-stop shop for a $15 drink in a plastic cup.

Really loved this place it is very local. Had a blast with my fiance and his friends. Down town Asheville is great grew up in the area most of my life. A lot has changed but everything is so convenient in walking distance. Especially walking with the one you Love :-:-

Review №29

Don’t go here if you are a “tourist.” We came up to Asheville from Greenville, SC for a short girls trip, I would hardly consider us tourists since we are less than an hour down the road but as soon as we walked in (5 girls) the bartender was rude. He told us it was members only and we had to pay a fee to drink. A “local” who is a friend of mine recommended that we try this place and never said there was a fee. So I texted him and he said the bartender was lying. We left because the bartender never even came back to get our orders after we said we’d pay the fee. When our Uber driver picked us up we asked him about the “membership” only rule and he said he had never heard of it & the bartender was probably just trying to get rid of us because he thought we were tourists. I will also add that they weren’t busy at all.

Ive been in here when the place was packed wall to wall, and Ive been in here when it was totally dead. the overall atmosphere is not bad, but its not great either. its an easy place to find if youre looking and the drink prices are on par with basically every other bar in town. never had any issues with the staff other than getting a bit of a grumpy type of welcome from the doorman. getting a drink on nights when this place is full is almost impossible, but its a pretty small place with one bar. This place reminds me of some old partys in someones basement. overall worth checking out depending on what kind of event they are having.

It was ok. Security makes you feel like youre in a warzone. But if you can ignore their intense stares then its a big pile of bros and hos.

Review №33

There’s usually a line. Inside the air is humid and floors are always wet and sticky. Kind of gross. But it’s also the most dependable place in AVL to always have dancing and people in it. The bartenders are attentive. Music is okay. It’s where you go at the end of the night.

Review №51

Terrible bartender, singular because everyone else is great. They expect tips. Everywhere else you have to earn tips but at this bar you give them $10 for $6 worth of beer and they wont bring you change. I dont tip first beer because I believe tips are earned. I went back up to the bar and he said you didnt tip you have to wait until everyone else is served. I gave him a $1.01 to make it an even $7 and wrote bad customer service on the reciept. He walked up behind me and said f*** you then kept getting in my face about it. I got beer first round for $4 and then the next round he was charging me $6? Great vibe great bar and most the time great bartenders!

. I had my purse stolen while in Nashville a few days earlier but had a government ID on me. I went into this bar and bought the requisite membership and a few drinks. My friends and I went to Lazy Diamond (highly recommend) for some Karaoke fun And about 1.5 hours later returned to this spot. They refused to allow me to enter with the membership card and ID that they sold me and I had used 90 minutes earlier to get in. The bouncer was extremely rude and the manager was flat out ignorant. The bar was empty so it was no major loss but I can promise I will not return. Instead, spend your money next door at The Crow and Quill. Youll have a better experience with a better atmosphere and an inherently more intelligent staff.

Review №54

The place itself is what one would expect to find going to a dive dance bar scene. Depending on whose working the bartenders can either be friendly or not. The drinks are way overpriced for what you get, there’s better places around town. Going there a couple of times, the music is always the same, very basic like the radio. Trying to get ahold of someone is not easy, they do not answer the phone (for whatever reason). And when i messaged them through Facebook they can read the message but still, NO ANSWER. Yes one can see when a message is read, thought that was common knowledge.. If you can read it you can also answer a simple yes or no question in less than 3 seconds. It may be a bar but you still need to hold a level of professionalism as you are a business! Definitely not ontop of my go to list of places in town and definitely last for professionalism.

One of the only late night get down spots in asheville. Dont show up too late or you will wait in line all night, but if you are looking for a spot to get loose after hitting the breweries this is the place. DJ plays mostly hip hop with some throwbacks intermixed.

I hung out there for a couple of beers, had a great time. chatted up the staff and the customers. left to go get a couple of drinks at the lazy diamond, when I came back, the bouncer (who wasnt there before) asked for my ID, so I showed him my drivers license (government issued from British Columbia) then he asked for my passport... seriously... then he wouldnt let me in, although I had drank two beers in the exact same spot he was sitting in... thats just bulls#@t!

Review №63

Daughter went to bar and ordered an Abita. Bartender ansked why do you want a LA beer? My daughter said because I am from Louisiana and was told you need to leave, we know who you voted for and we will not serve your kind. How rude to treat people who are here spending lots of money in the local economy. No security or manager available. These are the kind of people who ruin America. Avoid this bar like the plague it is.

WORST PLACE IN ASHEVILLE!! Do NOT go here. The atmosphere is very low class and trashy. The staff is rude and racist. Ive been here several times and have never had a good time. The last straw for me was when they didnt let my friend in because she had a passport... but as someone who checks IDs at a bar I know that this is okay to accept. They dont know what they are doing and they clearly dont care about the people who come by. Save yourself a trip and go to any other dance place in Asheville. Asheville music Hall, room nine , scandals, and the southern are all places that can substitute​ this place.

Review №73

What did I like about it? Absolutely Nothing. Apon arriving I went to the ladies room, only to find black mold growing in every toilet. I figured I should notify the bartender, he kind of chuckled at me and said, yeah we know, its part of the experience. um what? No. Just no. I dont want any part of that Experience. IF your bathrooms look like that, what do your beer lines look like? Also they have absolutely no local beer. Youre in Asheville how do you not have LOCAL beer?! I am only giving them one star because Google wont allow me to give 0.
