Antidote at Chemist Spirits
Part cocktail bar, part apothecary-inspired hideaway, part Hogwarts, Antidote brings a wonderfully unexpected personality to Asheville’s South Slope. Three stories of early-1900s-inspired décor lead to an intimate, partially covered rooftop where creative cocktails showcase spirits from Asheville’s own Chemist Spirits. Moody interiors, vintage details, and a rooftop tucked above the neighborhood make Antidote feel like a discovery within a discovery. Featured exclusively on our South Slope Tour.
High above the heart of downtown Asheville, Capella on 9 pairs contemporary rooftop style with spectacular views of the city and Blue Ridge Mountains. Located on the ninth floor, its open-air terraces, handcrafted cocktails, locally inspired small plates, and lively atmosphere make it one of Asheville’s signature rooftop destinations. It’s an especially memorable vantage point for watching downtown and the mountains change with the evening light. Included on select rooftop experiences.
Capella on 9
Capital Club of Asheville
The Capital Club is a private event venue that offers a rare opportunity to experience one of downtown’s most distinctive rooftop spaces. Its expansive terrace and indoor gathering space showcase panoramic views of the Asheville skyline and surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. Because the venue is not a regularly open rooftop bar and availability is limited, a stop here can be an especially unique addition to select tours—an exclusive Asheville rooftop experience you might not otherwise get to discover.
The Flat Iron Rooftop
Perched atop the historic Flat Iron Hotel, this rooftop combines vintage Asheville character with sweeping views of downtown and the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. Multiple open-air terraces, refined cocktails, and the dramatic setting above one of Asheville’s most recognizable buildings create an experience that feels both timeless and distinctly modern. It’s an ideal spot to take in the city’s architecture, mountain backdrop, and unmistakable Asheville atmosphere from above. Featured on select tours.
Green Man Brewery
No visit to Asheville’s South Slope would be complete without experiencing the craft beer culture that helped put the city on the map. Green Man Brewery offers something completely different from our cocktail-focused rooftop partners. Its three-story Green Mansion features a top-floor indoor/outdoor tasting room overlooking the production floor, McCormick Field, and the Blue Ridge Mountains. It’s a distinctly Asheville combination of locally brewed beer, brewery culture, and mountain scenery. Featured exclusively on our South Slope Tour.
Hemingway’s Cuba
Inspired by the colors, flavors, and spirit of Havana, Hemingway’s Cuba combines rooftop dining, tropical cocktails, and vibrant downtown Asheville energy. Its colorful rooftop atmosphere and lively social setting create one of the city’s most recognizable rooftop experiences. Sweeping views of the surrounding mountains pair perfectly with Cuban-inspired food and hospitality, including a classic daiquiri inspired by Hemingway himself, making it an inviting place to relax, raise a glass, and experience Asheville with a tropical twist. Featured on select seasonal tours.
The Montford Rooftop Bar
As Asheville’s longest-running rooftop bar, The Montford has had plenty of time to perfect the combination of mountain views, creative cocktails, and relaxed hospitality. Located eight stories above downtown, it pairs contemporary rustic style with locally inspired small plates and expansive Blue Ridge scenery. Its western-facing perspective makes sunset especially memorable, while its slightly removed location offers a different view of Asheville than our downtown rooftops. Featured on select tours.
The Observatory Rooftop Bar & Lounge
The Observatory brings a garden-inspired sensibility to the Asheville rooftop experience. Botanical cocktails, seasonal flavors, natural textures, and open-air seating complement panoramic views that evolve from golden-hour mountain light to the glow of downtown after dark. Sophisticated without feeling overly formal, it offers a relaxed place to linger above the city while experiencing one of Asheville’s most stylish contemporary rooftops. Featured on select tours.
Pillar Rooftop Bar
Blending vibrant energy with classic Asheville rooftop culture, Pillar is known for seasonally inspired cocktails, live music, locally influenced food, and sweeping views of the mountains surrounding downtown. Established in 2016 and a five-time Best of Asheville Gold winner, its spacious open-air setting and upbeat atmosphere make it a favorite gathering place for visitors and locals alike. Fire-pit seating and changing sunset skies add to the experience, creating an inviting place to relax and take in Asheville from above. Included on rotating tour experiences.
VISUALS Rooftop Bar
Offering an unexpected twist in the heart of Asheville’s brewery district, VISUALS brings wine-focused creativity to the South Slope. Created by acclaimed Burial Beer Co., this open-air rooftop showcases Burial’s natural wines and ciders alongside aperitifs, craft cocktails, and thoughtfully selected guest wines. It’s a distinctive combination of rooftop atmosphere and Burial’s boundary-pushing creativity—and a chance to experience a very different side of Asheville’s celebrated craft beverage scene. Featured exclusively on our South Slope Tour.
Wildwood Still
Wildwood Still puts an Appalachian-inspired spin on the classic rooftop experience. With more than 150 whiskeys and bourbons, craft cocktails, Asian-inspired plates, and sweeping views of downtown and the Blue Ridge Mountains, it stands apart as the whiskey lover of our rooftop lineup. A hint of speakeasy style and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere make it an especially distinctive place to raise a glass above Asheville. Featured on select tours.
