Sparky's Bardega

Wow, what a spot to visit! I recommend dropping in for a drink on tap, or just a snack and souvenir. Chiara took care of me and my wife tonight and we completely lost track of 2 hours of our time. Not only did we enjoy learning about the area we already planned our next trip back to Ashville, NC. This was hospitality at its finest!

Oh my stars and Mars bars and all the best vibes! You guys, so much fun. Fantastical humans who own and operate the joint. Also, go to Sparky's toy store in West Asheville, ASAP. 🥳🩵🐶🐾

One of my favorite places in DTAVL! Great spot for those working & living DT to grab some snacks and such. They have a great variety of snacks to choose from. You can find an array of packaged sandwiches and salads and protein snacks to grab for lunch.

They have a great selection of packaged beer and a nice small wine selection as well. You can also enjoy a glass or pint at the bar.

Lots of local provisions. You can grab those drugstore necessities too.

Be sure to check out the gift and toy selection in the back.
Great service too!

Awesome place. Great local craft beer to try at the inside bar. Many many tchotchkes to buy. Great store for gifting. Jordan will totally hook you up, he’s a beer aficionado. A++

Great place to sit and chat and meet great people. Owner Matt and his wife are super nice. You can bring your pup also for a treat! They have fun stuff to purchase around the store also.

We have gone there every day of our stay so far, and twice one day. The owners are SO friendly and kind. He gave us great tips on things to do with our kids while we chatted over a delicious mimosa flight. It’s a great place to pick up the things you need on a trip (advil, water, beer, wine…), but it goes beyond that. They have a great selection of snacks, food and drinks, a small bar and a lot of fun merch. I wish we had a store like this where we live! We will definitely stop here during any future trips, and honestly also again today! A brilliant addition to downtown Asheville.

Such a nice place for a drink or just to grab some goodies

What a lovely shop! I went in because I saw a cute jigsaw puzzle in the window when I was walking by and I left with a ton of delicious snacks. They have food, beverages, games, toys, and kitchen items. It was fun to look around.

We needed a convenience store in downtown! Great mix of quick grab and go, drinks, snacks, but also a cool selection of gifts, toys and fun finds. Nice for locals who want something quick on a lunch break.

This place took the much needed role of a downtown convenience store and went so far above and beyond that! As a local, I've really enjoyed trying out the items they've curated and found my new favorite frozen pizza 🍕 Thank you for everything! P.s. the entire staff is friendly and accommodating!

What a cool spot in the heart of downtown Asheville. Something for everyone, you are sure to find what you need. Even if it is just a nice glass of wine or a cold beer overlooking the streets of downtown Asheville. Kindest owners too. This spot is a DO NOT MISS!!!

Very fun, unique shop in downtown Asheville! The atmosphere is bright and relaxed; it feels like a real bodega. Lots of cool bar items, unique gifts, and also food items like simmer sauces and TIRAMISU! There's ice cream, snacks, several delicious flavors of Kombucha, LOCAL(!) Yerba Mate, and a bar! Matt is super pleasant. Go check it out! Right next to the Chocolatier.

What a super cool place for items you need! Great for locals & passers-by people looking to avoid having to drive allll the way to the store. And the BEST part... It has BAR!!! 🍷🥂🍻🍺
If you've not been, you're missing out.

Amazing staff, genuinely accepting and loving vibe. Happy to have you guys downtown. The barkeep Andrew has a laugh that'll salve your soul and stick in your head.

Then there's Joel 🤐

Quaint, clean, and cozy spot. Great for a casual drink or quick snack. Great assortment of goods. Friendly and down to earth owners who give you that small neighborhood feel. Would recommend!

Quirky spot in the center of town to grab a quick drink / snack or browse through an eclectic gift selection. Andrew and Matt are super friendly and cultivate an awesome atmosphere!

Super great place to hangout while waiting for a table at a restaurant in downtown . Super cute fun snacks and trinkets to shop while you’re there . Very clean and great atmosphere.

Great place! Wine and beer, and well behaved dogs are welcome inside. Good selection of bodega snacks as well

Fun stop for a flight, beer, snack and cool gifts

Everything you need and plenty of stuff you didn't think you would need but you now want.
