Haywood Road means hunting for a spot on the street, so factor in a few extra minutes before doors at 5pm. This West Asheville dive has been holding it down since 2012 with a Hank Williams shrine behind the bar and a proper dance floor that stays packed until 2:30am.

The Double Crown is a honky-tonk and dive bar on Haywood Rd in West Asheville known for DJs spinning vinyl (country, soul, blues, punk), live bands, karaoke nights, and a small kitschy house layout crammed with old-school decor.

Regulars call it a true neighborhood anchor of the West Asheville scene: no pretension, cheap drinks, and a crowd that runs from tattooed scensters to retirees.
