– Our Story –

Established in 1997, Jack of the Wood was one of downtown Asheville’s first pubs and the original home of Green Man Brewing. We serve a great selection of whiskeys, 18 rotating taps featuring local & international craft brews, and an award-winning menu of comfort food favorites & elevated pub fare. Known for our live music showcases, we host our long-running Old-Time Jam Wednesday evenings & our Bluegrass Jam Thursday nights, touring bands Friday & Saturday nights, Bluegrass Brunch Saturdays & Sundays, and our traditional Irish sessions Sunday afternoons & evenings.

Stop by to see why Jack’s is one of downtown Asheville’s most beloved gathering spots!

Come and see our longest running jam (over 20+ years and still counting) tonight at Jack’s! They’re playing now till 10pm!
We’re really excited to welcome EM & THE INNOCENT MISCHIEF back to Jack of the Wood this SATURDAY 10/26 with a special early show at 7pm!

This hometown “singing-songwriter & her band” deliver smart & soulful Americana music, blending adventurous lyrics with a modern Asheville folk-mountain sound.

Emily found Sarah Schultz (violin, mandolin, vocals, keys) and Bryan Streett (guitar, harmonica, vocals) through the good grace of fate, but her sister Charlotte Martin (vocals) cinched the line-up — and Em & The Innocent Mischief was born, a collaborative force inspired by Em’s songwriting. Other local musicians provide drums, pedal steel guitar, and bass for performances & recording.

Music from 7-10PM • $10 SUGGESTED donation at the door (pay what you’re able!) • Featuring a limited menu of bar favorites & pub classics.

Come and enjoy our cozy-casual pub atmosphere, grab a burger or Philly & a few drinks, and soak in some live hometown music!

Y'all ready for some honky-tonkin', Asheville?

We've got a special EARLY show lined up at 7PM TONIGHT (FRI 10/25) when CHASEN WAYNE & THE HONKY TONK MACHINE take the stage for their Jack of the Wood debut!

Born on a ranch in Kennedale, Texas, Wayne is keeping the Texas music scene thriving, both as a phenomenal singer-songwriter, and as a vocalist who hearkens back to the classic country days of Merle, Waylon, and Willie. 

Zach Bryan has called Wayne "the ONLY f*ck'n legend left in Texas!". 

Get your cowboy hats on, y'all! With clever, ever-engaging songs and a boot-stomping band, this is a show you don't want to miss! 

Music from 7-10PM • Suggested $10 cover at the door • Featuring a limited menu of bar favorites & pub classics
