Nightlife without the hangover, from the Plant Bar team

No beer list here. NightShade runs on DJs, live shows and a BASSBOSS sound system instead, an odd pitch in a district built on breweries, but it works.

It shares a building with Plant Bar's coffee and boba counter and stays open late, until 1:30 a.m. on its busiest nights. South Slope finally has a real option for going out without drinking.

What I can say...kinda speechless...most eclectic golden new gem of Asheville. Hands UP wow. Best ambiance coupled with true options of anything that's raw and real...plus all the nourishment to pair with pure music of the finest! Jamming out, no doubt, regardless of the genre.
