Pack's Tavern

Pack's Tavern is a legendary downtown Asheville restaurant and bar nestled beside Pack Square Park at 20 South Spruce Street. Housed in the historic Hayes and Hopson Building constructed in 1907, this establishment boasts a fascinating past—its basement served as a major moonshine distribution hub during Prohibition, operating discreetly for 12 years before the 21st Amendment repealed the alcohol ban in 1932. Today, Pack's Tavern celebrates this pivotal moment in American history with an authentic 1932 theme throughout its beautifully restored interior. The menu features scratch-made American classics including wood-fired pizzas, flame-grilled steaks, the famous double stack burger with its signature creamy white sauce, chicken Marsala, bison meatloaf, and BBQ brisket over mac and cheese. The extensive bar offers an impressive selection of local craft beers on tap, creative cocktails like the Pack's Orange Crush and Midnight Blossom, and weekly drink specials running Monday through Sunday. Guests can enjoy the spacious indoor dining area, catch games on multiple TVs, or relax on the dog-friendly patio with easy access to Pack Square Park. The private Century Room venue accommodates larger events and celebrations. Open seven days a week with hours from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM on weekends and 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM on weekdays, Pack's Tavern welcomes walk-ins only with no reservations for regular service.
