Jack of the Wood keeps their Sunday Irish sessions completely acoustic, which means the fiddles and flutes cut through clean without any mics or amps getting in the way. The small pub room at 95 Patton has been hosting these traditional gatherings since 1997, and the setup stays true to how these tunes were meant to be heard.

Jack of the Wood is a downtown Asheville Celtic pub on Patton Avenue, hosting live music nights since 1997. Bluegrass jams, Irish folk sessions, and rotating bands fill the room most nights of the week.

RECENT REVIEW: ...this place has ALL the live music, plus hearty pub grub and an amazing rotating tap selection... You !! must!! try the scotch egg and brussel sprouts!!!
