Barley’s - A Downtown Asheville institution for over 30 years serving amazing pizza, wings, salads & more with a full bar, live music, pool tables, darts, shuffleboard, and an experienced & friendly staff. Our relaxed and casual atmosphere will put your mind at ease as you enjoy our great food – and even better beer. Step back in time as you enter the historic building that was restored by the owners and staff. The aroma of our famous sourdough pizza will greet you as you behold the wonder of over 40 beers on tap (and even more in bottles!) After dinner and a beer, stay and listen to the bluegrass, country, jazz, and Americana music performed live most nights. We never have a cover charge and are a “clique”-free environment. We like being a place “where suit and tie meet tie dye.” We’re proud to brag that Barley’s is a place for the whole family. If you are ever in the neighborhood, stop by and see us.
