Thirsty Monk Pub Brewery - Asheville

I went to this place because I loved the logo and wanted a T-shirt. While we shared a flight. We have two hard Seltzer and two beers. We chose the apple cinnamon-hard Seltzer and the grapefruit palmoma. The Paloma was my favorite. It was with a beautiful spicy finish from the serrano paprika. I love it! The beers we chose were the czezh dark and the Mocha milk stout. The milk neck was very smooth and had a nice chocolate finish. And of course we have T-shirts!

What about the money? Main level is above all Seltzers who is cool, but this is not thirsty Monk! Thank God Delirium is still down, but the old bartender was Aloof! There was a long hair bartender that used to work there, that was great! Always smile and happy and so welcoming! He really uses to put the sound and vibe there! Sad to see this place south!

Bartender had such a rough attitude. My wife commands a Cosmo and the bearder answers what the 90s are? So we fucked and played first. Then I ordered a Manhattan with Bulleit Rye and he says I can think of much better Rye than that. So it was funny to be just a real, you-know-what. There were 4 of us and the last person in our group hesitated to order a proposal for a drink and needed, so the bartender says hastily Well I come back to you while I get their drinks. I would have been there for 1 start, but I've been here before and the experience was much better than that. And the drinks were really good! But what a great example how an experience can be ruined with a cramped way to talk to your girls.

I really enjoy this place for a quick drink. I haven't made it to the basement level yet but have enjoyed both street level and rooftop areas. The rooftop area has a locker to get snacks from with purchase of a drink. The music is great, the staff is quick and knowledgable. Definitely a favorite in Asheville.

Ehhhh.....I just could not get excited about this place. They have an downstairs and upstairs but you have to close out your tab before going upstairs. No downstairs drinks upstairs. If you like craft beer and craft cocktails then you might like this place. I ordered a glass of wine for $12 and it was overpriced and underpoured. I even asked the bartender if it was a 6 ounce pour and she said yes. Not to sure if it was. I definitely did feel like I overpaid for a pretentious pour. Our group enjoyed the patio upstairs....there is a very nice view of the mountains and sunset. I would probably not return if ever in the Asheville area.
