Saturday nights at The Crowbar run from 9 PM to midnight with live bands holding down the stage. The rotating lineup pulls from Asheville's deep well of rock, punk, metal, and indie acts, with the occasional touring band passing through.

The Crowbar's compact South Slope room turns into a sweatbox on busy Saturday nights — standing room only, cold beer in hand, music loud enough to feel in your chest. It is exactly what a dive bar music night should be.

No cover most nights. Follow @crowbaravl on Instagram for weekly lineup updates.

A crow-themed bar in the former Thirsty Monk space on Patton Ave, opened in 2025 by chef Michael Reppert and partner Brenden Wyand. Cocktails, local brews, snacks, pool, arcade games, karaoke, and free live music every Thursday and Saturday night at 9pm.

"Super cute spot to get cocktails in Asheville. The theme is on point — love the old decor. We stumbled in on a Thursday and caught a full live band, no cover, no pretense. Already planning our next visit."
