The Odd - Asheville

Very cute medium sized niche bar that has become a pillar of west asheville nightlife, counter-culture and LGBTQ+ safety.

Here's a local's honest opinion and perspective of the Odd. I have lived here 9 years, my experience across the board is that if the waitstaff recognize you, you receive amazing service, a great attitude and the Sunday ****** Mary's they are locally known for will be amazing. If they don't recognize you, service is substandard, attitude is horrible (you are invisible) and you certainly will NOT get the Sunday ****** Mary that they have been voted best of. It's been interesting to watch over the years who recognizes me and who doesn't. The only exception is the food, always good, always great service and treat everyone equally. It may be their niche to only cater to locals, however what good is that if they don't recognize you? I have tried hard to support this locally owned bar but after my last experience with an out of town guest, I will never go back nor take any of my out of town visitors.

Fun place with good folks, good drinks, hot food, karaoke night, a no judgement feel with a unique vibe!

Love this place and the drag shows. All the performances and performers are truly authentic and artistic.

Hadn't been here in a few years. About the same. Finally tried some food. Got the mac n cheese, onion rings, and $2 moon pie. Not bad. Service is still good, and the place overall stays true to its name.
