Brooks Tavern

Brooks Tavern is a beloved neighborhood pub nestled just off Main Street in historic downtown Hendersonville, North Carolina. Operating for approximately five years, this family-owned establishment has become a cornerstone of the local dining scene, offering traditional tavern fare at its finest. The menu features delicious burgers, hearty appetizers, sandwiches, soups, and salads that keep both locals and visitors coming back for more. Owner Tom Verri, whose family hails from Ponza Italy and Abruzzo, brings decades of culinary experience and a passion for quality to every dish. The tavern is renowned for its signature 'Giggle Water' cocktail, a classic 1920s recipe that has guests giggling with delight. With a rotating selection of a dozen draft beers and an extensive craft beer selection, there's a perfect pint for every palate. The award-winning burger, topped with the secret 'Magic Sauce', has earned a devoted following. Reviewers consistently praise the turkey apple brie sandwich, black and blue burger, beer cheese, and buffalo chicken egg rolls. The friendly, attentive staff creates a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like a home away from home. Brooks Tavern also operates a second location in Tryon, NC, and the Verri family owns Verri's Italian Ristorante nearby.
