Craft cocktail bar · Downtown Asheville, North Carolina

The Practice

Grown, fermented, tinctured, poured

Every bottle on our back bar starts as something living. We macerate Appalachian roots, culture our own dairy, and pull herbs from growers in Leicester, Fairview and the Sandy Mush valley. The menu turns with the fields, not the calendar.

The room seats forty. It is dark on purpose, quiet on purpose, and built for the kind of conversation that runs past midnight.
