Fairview Tavern

"I've been going here with my friends to celebrate and get together for years now. Pool, darts, indoor and outdoor atmosphere, great drinks and food. Very laid-back environment."

"Delicious philly and burger, friendly and welcoming to out of town visitors, and great prices. We found it because we were eating late and options were limited and were so glad we did! Great deck with outdoor seating out back."

"This was on my list as a place that served good Philly's. I'm bummed that the food was such a letdown because the back deck and grassy areas are beautiful little hideaways and it's clearly a place for locals. The bartender knew everyone and folks had their go-to orders. They still do the NC bar membership thing, but it's free. The bartender was super nice and helped me get signed up. You order at the bar and they bring your food to you. I ordered a philly and tots and went to sit on the back deck. The sandwich was unseasoned and dry and the tots were undercooked. I hate hard potatoes. Had the bread been fresher and had the meat been properly sopping, it could've stood a chance, but the only moisture in the sandwich came from the oil used to fry the peppers and onions, and at the end of the day it still wasn't seasoned. If I went back it'd just be to drink, and there's nothing wrong with that."

"The Fairveiw Tavern is one of those neighborhood bars that seem to be dissolving in the diluted New Asheville experience. If you would like a “scooby snack” or a “blue crack” or some other dumb college freshman drink, maybe go find some other dumb bar in Asheville to drink at… you shouldn’t have a hard time. Good service, easy vibe, 3 pool tables, about a million dart boards. The food is really good for bar food. “The Tavern” has a tight, small menu with some usual suspects with their own Tavern twist. Nice porch. Nice big back yard with disc golf putting opportunities."
