About
Asheville, NC
New Years Eve Pub Crawls
Asheville closes out the year with the mountain creativity and independent spirit that has made it one of the most beloved small cities in the South. The River Arts District, the Pack Square area, and the downtown bar corridors offer a collection of craft breweries, cocktail bars, and music venues that make Asheville one of the most interesting New Years Eve destinations in North Carolina.
Our Asheville New Years Eve Pub Crawl moves through downtown Asheville and the surrounding bar district, stopping at venues that reflect the artisan, independent character that has made this city famous. Asheville has more breweries per capita than most American cities and the bar culture here is shaped by that creative abundance.
The mountains around Asheville create a New Years Eve setting of genuine beauty. December temperatures in the city typically range from 28 to 42 degrees at night and the possibility of snow on the mountain peaks adds a fairytale quality to a celebration that is already exceptional. The bars we work with are warm, welcoming, and fully prepared for a big night.
Our hosts manage the downtown Asheville route with the knowledge that comes from understanding what makes this city special. Specials are confirmed, wristbands handle entry at every stop, and the midnight countdown happens with the creative mountain energy that is uniquely Asheville.
