A short walk from Urban Retreat, this classy craft brewery serves delicious beer, and local food trucks feed the crowd. Opens at 4 pm on weekdays and noon Friday-Sunday. I've seen live music from Dry Falls lure innocent dog walkers and runners every weekend.

The first time I walked downtown, I followed the Reggae music right to Never Blue. It is a colorful, fun, busy establishment, and with good reason. The chef has won numerous awards, and whether you order from the taco truck or from inside, your food will be delicious. Never blue lives up to its name~

When I moved to Hendersonville and was trying to find my way around, I would drive by this place, and every time it was swamped! Everyone sits outside at picnic tables and it looks so fun! Finally stopped one day and have been there every week since. The tacos are crazy good, and the queso is so delicious! I highly recommend the steak and cheese taco along with the shrimp and grits!!

The restaurant caught my eye every time I drove by, and one night on my way to the grocery store I decided to call in. Walked inside and it looked so cozy, I wanted to stay. Outside there were lights hanging above the outdoor seating. The atmosphere was very inviting. I ordered a Reuben and OH MY GOODNESS!! I hope you try it during your visit!

Porady dla podróżnych

Poruszanie się po okolicy

Highway 26 is under construction

Add a bit of extra time if your map brings you to Hendersonville via highway 26. It moves quickly most days, but construction is underway to add another lane and the speed limit is 55mph.
