Smokey (Closed Permanently)

(9 Ratings)
Quirky barroom kitsch for visitors and regulars alike.
The oldest continuously operating bar in Asheville. A nice blend of welcoming locals and visitors from all walks of life.

Saturday night

Cool bar with a wide mix of people. Some cute twinks were in and out Saturday night. Not much for lesiban folk music but the sights were nice. Mixed drinks strong too.

I won't complaint

I like the place. I think they had improved a lot. Reading old reviews I was like... I am not going, but the place is cute and clean and have great coffee. Come by, nothing to regret!

Gutter Living

I try not to be a piss-elegant Queen and will once every blue moon go to a dive bar but this place looks like CBGBs on the Bowery only without the interesting graffiti, or interesting people, or interesting music, or...you get the point, it does have the 30 years of grime and is a pretty shade of Marlboro yellow-orange and has warm beer. Trent the bartender most nights is very cute and sweet though. Your call.
