Saturday night at Hotel Eve Jazz with a quintet setup, which usually means the room gets pretty full and the energy stays up. Good weekend spot if you want something a bit more structured than a bar hang.

April through October, they do free Sunday Sessions out in that hidden courtyard, rain just pushes things into the 1907 basement instead. The spot runs ticketed shows Wednesday through Sunday otherwise, but those outdoor Sundays let you skip the cover and bring your own food while the band plays.

Hotel Eve is a speakeasy-style upscale jazz and cocktail lounge in downtown Asheville, featuring live jazz performances by local and rotating artists in an intimate hidden setting.Hotel Eve Jazz, Apple Maps, Stu Helm

"Liz owned and ran an independent restaurant and bar inside a local country club for years and it was great. This spot will be awesome." - Joe A.Stu Helm
