5 Walnut Wine Bar

Known For

Intimate exposed-brick corners made for slow pours and long conversations

5 Walnut Wine Bar turns exposed brick and moody atmosphere into an experience that feels less like a bar and more like a candlelit living room belonging to someone with excellent taste. Every cozy nook in the room fills up fast on weekends for good reason.

🕐Best time to visit: Thursday evenings before the weekend crowds roll in

5 W Walnut St, Asheville, NC 28801, USA

Our Take

5 Walnut's exposed brick walls and moody candlelit corners create exactly the kind of atmosphere where a well-curated wine flight hits differently — their rotating selections genuinely introduce you to grapes and regions you wouldn't have found on your own. It's a standout local favorite that sets the bar for what a neighborhood wine bar should feel like.
