This drive through only gem is worth the 12 min drive west of the city. Hit this on your way to a hike off the Blue Ridge Parkway! Just be warned, they’re closed on Sundays.

Nine Mile
@gabdrinksbeer
An Asheville institution with incredible Caribbean food. Go early because they don’t take reservations. You can grab a drink at tall John’s down the street if you have to wait for a table.

White Labs Brewing Co - Asheville Kitchen & Tap
@gabdrinksbeer
White Labs is one of the world’s leading producers of brewers’ yeasts. And Asheville houses one of their three brick and mortar locations! At this one, they make delicious pizzas using their own yeast in the crust.

We love an Indian-owned and run Indian restaurant. Skip the line at Chai Pani for this spot, or for the more casual sister restaurant next store, Dilbar.

If they ask if you’re a member, don’t be alarmed. You can sign up for $1!
Catch me here at least once a week drinking a Negroni with mezcal. Or a high life.
