Jack of the Wood on Patton has been slinging pints and plates since 1997, back when it was Green Man's original home, and the pub menu still hits, fish and chips, Reubens, proper Irish stew. The room runs small and Celtic, with 18 rotating taps plus a cask pull, and the calendar stays packed with old-time and bluegrass jams most nights, plus Irish trad sessions rolling through Sundays.

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!!!
