Fine dining under the guise of a bar... Just kidding. They nailed that, too. I came for the Okonomiyaki and the Mezcal. Don't forget to hit the QR on the menu to unlock the extensive secrets of the tequila/mezcal list.

Coolest decor in Asheville. Get there early - it gets crowded. Friendly bartenders and patrons. Fun drinks and the deviled eggs are the jam. If you’re from ATL… think East Atlanta vibes. Feels like home. 🍑
