I've always gotten great service and drinks and the bartenders are very friendly.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href='http://asheville.gaycities.com/bars/1251-tressas-downtown-jazz-and-blues'&gt;Read more reviews at GayCities Asheville&lt;/a&gt; and see photos, maps and reviews of Tressa's Downtown Jazz and Blues and other bars, hotels, events and restaurants&lt;/small&gt;</description>

Tressa's is gay owned &amp; operated but actually draws a more cosmopolitan straight couples crowd. Still, the place has great ambience with live music and dancing downstairs and a quiet, smoke-free lounge upstairs for more relaxed conversations.  Gay friendly and worth the visit if you want to experience different aspects of downtown culture.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href='http://asheville.gaycities.com/bars/1251-tressas-downtown-jazz-and-blues'&gt;Read more reviews at GayCities Asheville&lt;/a&gt; and see photos, maps and reviews of Tressa's Downtown Jazz and Blues and other bars, hotels, events and restaurants&lt;/small&gt;</description>

Once you have forked over the cash you see that it's just an older building that is a dirty noisy DUMP! With warm expensive beer on top of that! Gay bar!?  More like a tourist trap.  Save yourself the trouble...buy a 45 an sit on the curb anywhere in town and you've found better ambiance.  Went next door to Smokeys After Dark, which was also a dump, but at least the bartender was nice and the beer was cold and cheaper!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href='http://asheville.gaycities.com/bars/1251-tressas-downtown-jazz-and-blues'&gt;Read more reviews at GayCities Asheville&lt;/a&gt; and see photos, maps and reviews of Tressa's Downtown Jazz and Blues and other bars, hotels, events and restaurants&lt;/small&gt;</description>
