Fleetwood's

West Asheville
This venue encompasses all that is good, holy, and hipster about West Asheville. Is Fleetwood's a dive bar? Vintage clothing store? Rock 'n' roll hall? Wedding chapel? The answer is, a resounding: all of the above.

The Grey Eagle

This venerable Asheville institution features popular regional and national bands on its intimate stage, with contra dancing and patio concerts on certain nights. During the day the space doubles as a taqueria.

The Orange Peel

Bob Dylan, Modest Mouse, and the Beastie Boys have played at this now-legendary venue. There's a great dance floor with springy wood slats, two bars serving wine and beer, and a speakeasy-style bourbon bar, PULP, on the bottom floor.
