Jack of the Wood on Patton has been the spot since '97 for solid pub grub and live strings, eighteen rotating taps, a cask line, and a menu that nails the fish and chips and Reubens. The room runs old-time and bluegrass jams midweek, Irish sessions on Sundays, and weekend headliners who know their way around Americana and Celtic traditions.

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.
