Dance Floor Slasher w/ DJ LIl Meow Meow plays Eulogy on Friday, October 30. Easy one to plan a night around.

Eulogy's 400-capacity room sits right in that sweet spot where punk kids and touring bands both feel at home, bigger than a basement but way more dialed-in than the cavernous downtown spots. The South Slope spot opened in 2023 with Burial's sound system and runs all-ages most nights, though the weekend DJ sets skew 21-plus and minors clear out by eleven.

Eulogy is Burial Beer's dedicated music venue on Buxton Ave in Asheville's South Slope, a converted space for heavy, indie, electronic, jazz and underground live shows with a serious sound system. Shows are all ages until 11 PM and 21+ after.

Locals call it the best room in Asheville for a heavy show. The sound is loud but clean, the sight lines work from anywhere in the room, and there's Burial beer on tap. It brings in acts you won't catch anywhere else in WNC.
