The Golden Pineapple
Pizza · Tapas Small Plates · Asheville, NC
About
West Asheville's historic Baker Building houses this former recording studio, now a queer-friendly cocktail lounge with a tropical twist. Co-owned by longtime local bartenders Katey Ryder and Donnie Pratt, the Golden Pineapple serves craft cocktails, beer, and naturally focused wine alongside comfort food like pizza, tapas, and burgers. The vibe is mixed gay and straight, with a women-led team behind the bar.
Hours are concentrated in the evening: Mon, Thu, Fri, and Sat until 11pm, Sunday until 10pm (closed Tue-Wed). The dog-friendly patio makes it an easy stop for a relaxed drink. If you're bar-hopping, O.Henry's is another nearby option in West Asheville.
