Sparky's Bardega
What you need to know
Sparky's Bardega on Broadway is the kind of Asheville spot that's hard to categorize — part grab-and-go convenience store, part neighborhood bar, part live music room. At 23 Broadway in the heart of downtown, it's stocked with snacks, gifts, craft beer, wine, and cocktails (try the $10 French 75), and it books local musicians on weekends.
Local's Tip
Follow @sparkysbardega on Instagram for last-minute show announcements — most of the music bookings show up as same-week posts. The patio out front is a great spot when the weather cooperates.
What the locals say
Owners Becky and Matt keep the atmosphere loose and welcoming, and bartender Andrew is known for keeping the crowd entertained. Rocky Collins, Lenny Pettinelli, and other local regulars rotate through for afternoon sets from 2–6 PM on weekends.
