Friday night at The Social East feels like the right call if you want a laid-back room that doesn't take itself too seriously. Good spot to post up with a drink and see what happens. The kitchen keeps slinging burgers and wings well past midnight when the rest of Asheville has gone dark, which matters when you're shooting pool or catching the late West Coast game on that massive 150-inch screen. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where you can roll in for dinner with the family and stick around as it shifts into proper bar mode, knowing you can still order actual food at 1am.
