If you find yourself visiting Asheville, NC for all that her hops, grain, and water have to offer, you would do well to make your first stop Barley's Taproom & Pizzeria. Located in the heart of town on Biltmore Ave, this daytime to late night joint is sure to please both your taste buds and your wallet.
The Dobie and I first visited Barley's when we were in need of some quick carbs and of course more of the fantastic local Asheville beer. We took a risk and boy did it pay off! Made to order, bubbling hot and fresh New York style pizza is served to please, along with a compliment of other standard pub fare that is just too tasty to miss out on whether you live in Asheville or you're just visiting.
In addition to great food, Barley's features a wide variety of local Asheville beers. Customers can enjoy a pint or get a flight if they're looking to taste around! We were happy to take a tour de taste of the local brewing venues while enjoying our pizza, giving us a better idea of what we'd like to check out and what we'd like to take home with us!
Like many places we discovered in Asheville, Barley's features several large centrally placed long tables that give patrons the chance to sit down for pizza and beer with strangers and make new friends over a pint and a pie! This common feature in Asheville bars and eaterys was one of my favorite things about Beer City, USA and something I wish would catch on with the rest of the country.
If you're visiting Asheville for the first time, or even if you live there and are just now starting to explore the craft beer scene, I highly recommend putting Barley's Taproom and Pizzeria first on your list of places to visit. There are a lot of breweries in Asheville, but a visit to Barley's will give you at least some idea of how to narrow down your visit and plan your stops. Good luck in the beer city!!!
