What you need to know

Looking for real-deal live music in Asheville? The Grey Eagle totally fits the bill. This River Arts District staple is Asheville’s longest-running all-ages venue, and there’s something on the calendar almost every night—indie darlings, bluegrass legends, punk upstarts, even surprise hip hop sets. The spot opened way back in the ‘90s in a garage and grew into a must-visit hangout with tons of personality. Now you’ll find a spacious stage, great sound, open dance floor, patio for warm nights, and some of the tastiest tacos and craft beer in town, thanks to the in-house taqueria. It holds about 550 people, so the energy is always high but never overwhelming. If catching concerts in Asheville sounds good, The Grey Eagle is one of those places you seriously can’t miss.

The Grey Eagle is at 185 Clingman Ave in the River Arts District — free street parking is easy on Clingman and the surrounding blocks. The in-house taqueria and local draft beer are worth arriving early for; doors typically open an hour before the set.
