Friday night at Double Crown West Asheville, doors at 7. The spot's got that laid-back neighborhood bar feel, good for kicking off the weekend without committing to a late one if you're not feeling it.

The spot doesn't serve food most nights, but keep an eye out for occasional SEE FOOD Saturday pop-ups when you need to line your stomach between sets. Otherwise it's strictly a full bar operation, so plan accordingly or grab something on Haywood before you roll in at 5pm.

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.
