Anoche Asheville

Shaun Harvey Edited 2 months ago

I have been grabbing a seat at bars for decades and I’ve sat at some fine ones … wonderfully unassuming neighborhood bars in San Francisco, great whiskey bars in DC and Portland, speak-easies in Chiang Mai and NYC, New Orleans and its mighty bar scene, and dive bars from coast-to-coast but in terms of the experience of enjoying atmosphere, service, and spirits … Anoche puts itself in some rarified air. This place is a gem! My partner had discovered this place solely based on her love of agave spirits during our recent 4 day stay in Asheville and we planned our Saturday as a concert pre-game afternoon at Anoche. We both are lovers of well-crafted cocktails and with a home bar of some 400+ bottles spanning the gamut … we enjoy a great sip most of all. Anoche delivers both! The thing that immediately strikes you as you walk in the door are the shelves of beautiful bottles stacked 2 to 3 deep of agave spirits. If you have a sweet tooth for mezcal and tequila, Anoche presents itself as a candy store. No celebrity brands, no gimmicks or popularity contests, no additives, no bs.

Anoche… I almost didn’t write this because some places feel like a secret you protect with your life—but a love this good deserves a little flirting in public. This tequila bar is the kind of place that knows exactly what it’s doing and does it slowly. I grew up in tequila bars, so trust me when I say this one doesn’t just pour drinks—it seduces you. The moment you walk in, the air hits different. Like the world’s sexiest incense. Crafted cocktails doing aromatherapy without your consent. It’s a scent I crave in my sleep. Naturally, I ordered the Otoño—because if something promises sweet burnt cinnamon, I’m saying yes without asking questions. One sip in and it’s all warm spice, smooth confidence, and just enough bite to keep things interesting. Mezcal the way it should be: bold, well-dressed, and absolutely aware of its power. The ambiance? Dim, intimate, and dangerous in the best way. The service? Attentive without hovering—like they know when to touch and when to back off. I show up early like a responsible adult… mostly to secure parking and a seat, but also because this place deserves anticipation. And just when you think it can’t get better, there’s an incredible Latin food t

Adorable eclectic bar with a variety of tequilas and other spirits. There indoor and outdoor seating for all year weather. The drinks are very well made, and are delightfully fresh. Ps the food truck in front is amazing as well.

10 stars. This bar is an absolute GEM. Amazing staff, fun patrons, great drinks, and the partnership with an amazing Mexican food truck just sets it off. Paloma’s and Margaritas can be made with taqulia or mezcal if you want a smokey treat. I had a blast. DJ on Sunday upped the already great vibes. This is serious a must go to bar.
