“Love Ashville and the Thirsty Monk, WOOF”

Came to Asheville for the Biltmore Estate and finished the day at The Thirsty Monk. It was great seeing so many bears at this mountain spot. So many attractive bears, got plenty of fun attention. Loved it!

“chill place”

Nice spot, but service was a bit slow. It didn't feel heavily gay, so it's probably more of a mixed crowd. Great for hanging out with straight friends.

“Gay Friendly”

This is an excellent spot. They have a huge variety of beers. There are two separate bars, each with its own vibe and drink selection. Very welcoming to the queer community.
