Great spot to grab a beer and relax outside on a nice day! Amazing selection of beer options and knowledgeable staff.

Stopped here last week while int he area with my girlfriend. The beer selection is second to none. However, the menu is a 30 page folder. We stuck to the tap menu on Untappd for simplicity's sake. If you live there, direct the menu, but for a quick visit it is overwhelming. The atmosphere is neat, but it was cold, when they finally closed the big door, it warmed up a bit. The bartender was mostly disinterested and he was the only staff present. So Menu ... 5 stars ... but simplify it. Atmosphere ... 4 stars ... pretty cool, but cold and not that clean Service ... 3 stars

We used to come here and have a great experience. In the past year there are employees who do not seem to have expertise when it comes to what kind of beer is in stock. There is a lot eye rolling when attempting ordering a beer.

Excellent beer selection that covers the Carolina's, including their very best. Buying by the can is super expensive though. Employee was super helpful and knowledgeable for the novice of the regional beers.

Don't take time to look at the beer menu...you might get cut off before you can order. Be careful where you go to the bathroom...it's different if you sit outside!.

The essential beer bar experience in Asheville - diverse bottle menu and draft selection complete with a balance of import, local and regional offerings. I always appreciate menus that feature something for everyone and I can count on having a great lager, as well as a delicious hop forward option and a rich, bold strong ale for dessert. Check ‘em out and find a new favorite at The Whale!Hungry? There are a ton of local food options nearby, including Haywood Common right next door. We usually grab takeout so we can nosh while we sip.Parking: The lot adjacent to The Whale is very limited, first come first serve. I do not recommend that you count on finding a spot right here or on Haywood Road. There are several spacious lots on the neighboring streets with affordable, paid parking via the Park Mobile App (including the church and the veterinary clinic next door).

I had a great time here. The staff was really nice and they had a great beer selection. There is plenty of seating and a great vibe to the whole place. The restaurant next door has good food, too. Definitely worth checking out.

The salsa we ordered wasn't really fresh. Other than that we liked everything.

So many hard-to-find beers here! My husband is a bit of a beer connoisseur and he's been on the hunt for harder to come by beers. He was stoked they had quite a few he's been wanting to try. Pretty much everything they offered was more on the "rare" side and they did not carry many of the typical local breweries. That's not really what this place is about (you can go literally anywhere else in Asheville for that lol). For gluten free folks they had some ciders and mead you could buy in bottles/cans. I don't recall them having any on tap.If you're wanting to make a six pack they have a huge binder of drinks to choose from. They also had a lot on tap. The place itself was really cool. I loved all the plants and the whale skeleton was a neat touch. It felt very unique and the people who worked there were very nice. We will definitely be back next time we go to Asheville!
