The Double Crown has been holding down 375 Haywood Road since 2012, a proper West Asheville dive where the Hank Williams shrine sets the tone and the weekly programming runs deep. Doors open at 5pm daily, and whether you're catching Gospel Night on Thursdays or Soul Nite on Fridays, the vinyl DJs and rotating lineups keep the bar and dance floor 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.
