Harry is an incredible bartender who truly made our night! From the moment we sat down, he was warm, funny, and genuinely personable, taking the time to chat with us and make great recommendations. Every cocktail he crafted was delicious, beautifully balanced, and clearly made with skill and care. You can tell he loves what he does because the energy at the bar was fantastic the entire time. If you’re lucky enough to catch Harry behind the bar, you’re guaranteed amazing drinks and an even better experience!

When/if/because you are in downtown Asheville and you need a beautifully crafted cocktail, do yourself the favor of stopping in to Farmese. You’re immediately welcomed by a space full of classy, modern, warm design with friendly, comfortable vibes. Despite being 6 months new, it feels like a familiar local spot that could have been there for years. The friendly service, creative drink menu, and delicious cocktails will make you glad you’re there and happy to stay. We will gladly be back; you should go.

Tried to get a drink there, the bartenders told us they would be with us shortly and then proceeded to ignore us and take the orders of people who came in much later than us. Wouldn’t even look our way as we tried to get their attention and then acted surprised when we left. I would recommend going anywhere else. They blast the “best cocktails in AVL” but it was clear that one of the bartenders was drunk while saying that and we can’t verify anyway since we never got served.

If you’re a cocktail enthusiast, you definitely should give this place a try. Great cocktails, great atmosphere, and the bartenders were fantastic. Shout-out to Victor for making us an incredible off-menu drink just because we asked about the mezcal!

Not for dancing. Came here for the first time to have a drink and enjoy some dancing. Unfortunately, the DJ was playing music that was not fit for dancing (no one on the dance floor). The beat was way too fast, and he played the same beat for the full 90 minutes we were there. He never once rotated the music to try to find something people might dance to. I think he sorted his list of music by Beats Per Minute, and never once deviated from the first song he chose. Outside of that, the atmosphere is great for a cocktail, and the bartenders were nice and attentive. We’re more interested in dancing instead of drinking, so I’m not sure we’ll return.

The atmosphere here is very intimate with a classy club like vibes. The bartenders, especially Laila, know how to make crafty drinks. She puts her knowledge and talent into the magnificent drinks she pours for her customers. If you’re looking for a comfortable couch vibe, this is the place to go. Don’t be deterred that it’s downstairs. Everything you want and more.

I loved this place. Perfect low lighting. Darker, calming colors. Easy to listen to music. Soft barstool chairs with back support. Stylish lounge with comfortable seating. Harry was my bartender and he made a banging martini just for me. I am super picky with my bars, but this one takes the cake. The vibe was immaculate. Thanks, Harry!

This was such a wonderful find after a dinner downtown. Full of elegance and neo-urban design, the vibe is high end and stunning. The cocktails are a work of art and the alcohol selection is varied and high class. Great place to get dolled up and enjoy a true night out.

holy house music…. i came here for the “cozy” vibes and got DJ Rick playing generic house music at volume 100000000. the drink was good, but it took about 15 minutes to get the bartenders attention (we were literally sitting at the bar doing everything other than yelling to get their attention). some of the drinks on the menu seemed a bit… hoity toity… in my opinion, but they did have a few fun options. i wouldn’t go out of my way to come here again.
