Appalachian singer-songwriter JACKSON GRIMM will be rounding out our holiday weekend music on CHRISTMAS EVE (Sun 12/24) with a special set from 6-8pm!
You won’t find a cozier spot to settle in on Christmas Eve in downtown Asheville for a few hours of excellent local music, tasty pub fare & a cup or two of holiday cheer! 🌲🍻 And maybe even a game of darts! 🎯 We’re closing early at 9pm Christmas Eve & will be closed Christmas Day.

 

Jack Of The Wood is still a downtown hot spot for food, brews and drink since 1997 and founders Joan and Joe Eckert who still own it, have maintained the original lively English and Irish vibe. The old-time mountain and Irish music jams continue, including a hot bluegrass jam Thursdays and brunch every Sunday. The venue extends a welcoming feeling to regulars and newcomers to this day. https://jackofthewood.com/
