Welcome to Pack’s Tavern, a locally owned and operated restaurant and bar in the heart of downtown Asheville. Housed in the historic Hayes & Hopson Building dating back to the early 1900s, Pack’s Tavern is a labor of love by the Coleman family. Founder Stewart Coleman’s sons-in-law, Tom Israel and Ross Franklin, teamed up to restore this beloved landmark and create a warm, welcoming spot that we are proud to share with our community.

From the beginning, the goal was simple: preserve the building’s remarkable character while offering a modern dining experience. Look around and you’ll notice original exposed beams, aged brick walls, and charming fixtures that pay homage to the building’s storied past. This blend of history and innovation shines through in our eclectic menu—fresh entrées, sandwiches, pizzas, salads, and more—all prepared with the care and passion our guests deserve.

Beyond the hearty meals, Pack’s Tavern offers an extensive selection of beers, wines, and handcrafted cocktails, celebrating Asheville’s vibrant craft beverage scene. We also boast a variety of event spaces perfect for gatherings of all sizes, from intimate receptions to large celebrations.

At its core, Pack’s Tavern is about family. We hope you’ll feel that in the welcoming atmosphere we strive to create for our guests and teammates alike. We invite you to sit back, enjoy a meal, share a laugh, and experience the spirit of downtown Asheville from the comfort of our lovingly restored tavern. We’re thrilled to have you here and look forward to sharing our hospitality—and a bit of local history—with you.
