Desoto Lounge

It was New Years Eve and I happened to wander into this cool little place. Everyone behind the bar was super nice, friendly and very attentive. I loved their simple inexpensive bar menu and all of the offerings coming out of the kitchen looked nice ... I had the black bean nachos with a generous portion of guacamole to compliment my cocktail. It was a nice way to end 2022 ... and begin 2023.

Very strange… my friends and I visited desoto after a nice dinner and multiple locals suggest we leave for neighboring cities. We didn’t feel welcome or safe and got one drink and left. We didn’t feel accepted or appreciated of our sexuality and I think todays political climate. Not what I expected of Asheville. Allies beware!!!

Varying weekend brunch menu. Expect a wait. Decent sized portions for the price. Meatloaf sandwich is very good & the bloody Mary bar is the move!

Don't eat the food. Not accepting mean and rude. I came here for years and years. Sad really. Super judgemental.

Patio was perfect under the big trees, and the Chicken & Waffles were soooooo good! Shout out to Sabrina and Flamingo for the delicious food and real tasty drinks. See yall soon.

Bartender seemed very bothered, unwelcoming and was so unpleasant, didnt even want a 2nd drink or try playing any of the games.

Great food and bar tenders friendly people made many friends there

Been here once before before, got dirty looks from the bar tender after “only” tipping $4 on a $7 drink lol. I tried to go in last night to get a drink after work, but my boyfriend forgot his id. We went home and came back, showed the door guy, and was told we could come in but would not be served by anyone and wouldn’t give us a reason . “Just because he wanted to and he didn’t have to give us a reason.” Altogether not a great place but hey if you wanna meet the stunt double for broke back mountain , he’s at the door checking ID’s!
