Halloween afternoon at The Social East Asheville is a solid way to start the holiday before the night gets wild. A 3pm Saturday slot gives you time to catch a show and still have your whole evening ahead of you. Tunnel Road location means you skip the downtown parking nightmare and land straight at a proper neighborhood spot with its own lot. Cory and Christen Short have been running this East Asheville bar and grill since 2014, where pool tables and a solid menu keep the locals coming back whether they're catching a band on Friday or just need wings and a beer without the tourist circus.
