The Odd

This was such a fun and lively place. We were there this past Friday for their drag show. We were in town for a wedding. Every one was so kind. This is a very lively place. Great food and good drinks!
I recommend the Philly, fries, jalapeño poppers, the sampler so you can try everything 😋 All of their food is really good! We will definitely be back! Side note: they do not have the Nachos anymore 😔

Holy hell this is my favorite place forever. I just GOT MARRIED & had my reception at The Odd! So my experience may be different than a quick visit but I PROMISE you will love this place. Tamy and every single person I had the pleasure of dealing with throughout my wedding planning was a total dream team. THE FOOD AND DRINKS - to DIE for! Like literally the best ever. No one could stop talking about it. Everyone is so beyond kind and welcoming and I felt so happy just stepping foot into The Odd. Cheers to MANY more visits throughout our years. This place will hold a special spot in my heart forever. Okay I’m getting mushy - but - just go. It’s all around the neatest place with the most AMAZING staff ever.

I was only passing through Asheville for the night and going to the Odd was the perfect way to spend it.

Awesome punk-rock venue with oddities throughout the space. Paid $10 cover for live music and crushed a smackin good bacon cheeseburger. Washed it all down with a beer & shot special at a decent price. My kind of place.

Let me just say something. The precious person that I met today gave me hope in humanity. She is the manager of the Odd Bar, and I guarantee you will not find a better person in the world. Thank you for such a wonderful experience today. Try the radioactive unicorn and go in for an amazing atmosphere and a wonderful person behind the bar ❤

Fantastic food, an amazing atmosphere (dangerous but fun) Rob in the kitchen serves up some amazing West Asheville grub. There is an event every night.

The Odd is very... well, odd. And that's what makes it stand out from the rest. Ate there a few weeks ago & our steak sandwiches were fabulous!!! The drinks are delicious & fun. The events? I have attended an evening of everything Viking, including honey mead, & a Renaissance Fair there, pre-Pandemic. A great place to go if you want to get out of your comfort zone, see life from another perspective, and well, BE WEIRD!!!

Loved it. Wish I could have stayed longer and watch a show here. Wife brought me here because I am an odd one indeed. Felt right at home . It was like I was back in my first apartment. Great food. Great atmosphere. Don't stay after dark or the vampires will suck your blood...

Food was great, and cheap! Bar has your average beers, with some specialty cocktails that were interesting. The building is amazing, paintings, pictures, and macabre artwork everywhere. They have a working cigarette machine! One of the coolest "dive bars"I've ever been in. Bar staff and patrons were all nice. Has outdoor seating with ashtrays, and (I think) shows every night.

I went there for the Party Foul Drag Show. And let me tell you, I had a blast! I had never been to a show before so I had no idea what to expect. I figured that I spent $10 on my ticket, so if I didn’t like it I didn’t waste a lot of money. It was well worth the $10 I spent on the ticket. The Queens were so entertaining. My favorites of the night were Miss No Vagina and Miss Calcutta. Miss Ida Carolina was co-host for the evening and she was really entertaining as well. She asked if we were celebrating any birthdays, anniversaries, etc. 3 of us were celebrating our birthdays. Miss Ida Carolina asked the audience to say something to each of us. One was “Happy Lobotomy” Another was “Happy Vasectomy” And for me they said “Happy Honda Days”
Bottom line is if you’re looking for something entertaining and cheap to do while in Asheville on a Saturday night, I highly recommend checking out the drag show at The Odd. Take an open mind and $1 bills for the performers.

This place is soooo cool! So many fun, weird oddities as decor.
We attended Goth night where they had local artist come out and set up booths; They had pictures, tarot reading, crafts, and an amazing DJ- and a dance floor!
The food was absolutely amazing, best chicken Caesar wrap of my life!
The aesthetic of this environment is really cool. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun night out!

What a magical and unique dive bar experience. The bartenders were super friendly, and quite funny, the drinks were delicious, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the decor is strange and beautiful. I would highly recommend stopping in for a drink, or 4, if you're ever in Asheville 💛

Food is overpriced but they’re convenient, open late, and not bad!
Staff is friendly and makes good drinks, but they host lots of events where it could be a little slow to get service due to volume being a bit overwhelming.
Atmosphere is outstanding if you’re into what you sign up for when you come here.
Alternative, body positive, “odd” folks.
An Asheville community staple.
I recommend checking out the Drag shows they host.

Tried the cheese sticks and they were awesome, some of the biggest cheese sticks I have seen. The bar staff is quick and they play live music!

Love the Odd. Just had food here for the first time & Rob made me a killer plate of food. He makes his own seasoning & sauces, and I highly recommend this spot for a meal.

I remember coming here in the 5th grade all the way from Hollywood FL. She was crying when I surprised one of the Co owner I used to be her foster son for about a year when I was a baby. I love the performances I love playing with pinball machine machine she had. The one thing I didn't like was she covered my ears when a heavy metal band was performing but I got her to remove her hands. I met a couple of cool bands One was called lifecurse, I can't remember the name of the heavy metal band. I got a t shirt, a signed cd and signed poster from lifecurse. And I got some stickers from that heavy metal band I met after their performance. I love the staff there. All the staff there are awesome. Like I said I was there in the 5th grade when it was still the ODDITORIUM in 2011, 2012 or 2013 and now I'm 22 about to be 23 in January 2024. And I would love to go again. Everytime I visit Asheville NC I'ma try to go to the bar.

This place is spectacular! A shining light of style, grace and savoir faire in an oasis of hippie doldrums! The food's pretty good too!

Everyone so very friendly. Very cool place. Very nice patio. Liam, one of the bartenders made the best Green tea shot.

The Odditorium is A GREAT oddball venue with an amazing staff that's sweet, quirky, and friendly. The atmosphere is a carefully curated amalgamation of true sideshow memorabilia, curiosities, taxidermy, and a whole lot of fun! Drink prices are reasonable and they have a popcorn machine for snacks during the wide variety of events they host!
They also have an obvious love for their local artists and treat traveling performers very well. The green room is large and easy to navigate loads in and out of.

A wonderfully inclusive, weird, and queer place. Small selection of taps, but rotating through local brews. Cheap ish canned beers, great sidecar deals.
Pretty good food if a touch overpriced.
Come for the inclusivity and chat with anyone.

Rob and the bartenders were so great!! Such a great space, very local. A west Asheville gem.
