Tips from locals
The Thirsty Monk downstairs is one of my favorite beer bars in Asheville, but head upstairs through the semi-speakeasy door out front, and you'll find one of the best cocktail bars in Asheville. There are a few different rooftop bars in Asheville, but a lot of them are more focused on the rooftop than the drinks. At Top of the Monk, you can enjoy your drink with a view, and actually enjoy your drink, since the talented bartenders use freshly squeezed juices, and house-made bitters, tinctures, infusions, drams, and flavored syrups to put a delicious spin on cocktail classics. It's a small and intimate location, but it's well worth the wait.

Excellent cocktails (right above the beer)... you must join (for $1) but the intimate outdoor rooftop and the key you receive with every cocktail that opens a tiny door for a little nosh or sweet treat is worth it!
0.7 miles | Truly spectacular craft cocktails. Every soda and mixer is crafted in house. Not a drinker? Order the ginger beer. They make it to order and it's fabulous.
On top of the Thirsty Monk Belgian beer bar, is Top of the Monk. We like to come here for whiskey on the rooftop patio. Plus they give you a key to unlock the snack of your choice with every drink. In Asheville if a bar has liquor but doesn't have food, you have to become a member at the door, it only costs a few bucks, and anyone can join.
