Add to list

What you need to know

Asheville Ales & Tales is a theatrical pub crawl company in Asheville's South Slope. Each walking tour visits four local pubs, with a character-led story unfolding between stops. The lineup includes Appalachian folklore in Cryptids & Creatures, a Sherlock Holmes-inspired mystery in Watson's SOS, and a seasonal retelling of A Christmas Carol. Actor David Doersch leads the performances, while Cat Doersch manages bookings and tour details.

Local's Tip

Book ahead, wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather. Parts of the outing are outdoors, so leave extra time for parking before the tour.

What the locals say

Guests quoted on the company's website single out the character voices, audience participation and time to get to know the group. One Christmas tour reviewer described the evening as a balance of entertainment and downtime, rather than just moving from bar to bar.
