Add to list

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 downtown Asheville, it's stocked with snacks, gifts, craft beer, wine and cocktails, including a $10 French 75, and local musicians play on weekends.

Local's Tip

Weekend afternoon shows run 2 to 6 p.m., and most bookings are announced the same week, so check the Dig Local profile for Scoops. The front patio is a good seat on nice days.

What the locals say

Owners Becky and Matt keep the atmosphere loose and welcoming, and bartender Andrew keeps the crowd entertained. Rocky Collins, Lenny Pettinelli and other local regulars rotate through for afternoon sets from 2 to 6 p.m. on weekends.
