Jack of the Wood does Sunday brunch with live music at noon, which is honestly the right way to spend a Sunday afternoon downtown. The room's got that cozy pub feel that works whether you're recovering from the night before or just want to ease into the day.

The kitchen here pulls serious weight with fish and chips that've earned actual awards, plus Philly cheesesteaks, Reubens, and Irish stew that hold up against anything downtown. Pair any of it with a pour from 18 rotating taps or the cask line, and the Sunday afternoon sessions with the Bluegrass Boys suddenly make a lot more sense.

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!!!
