“Cool local bar with live music!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2013 via mobile

My wife and I were in Asheville for a short getaway and happened on this place while looking for a quick drink. We were drawn in by the music and warm atmosphere. Drinks were pretty decent, I tried a local artisan moonshine and my wife had a Kir Royale. Nothing to rave about, but pretty good and very reasonably priced.... More

“Straight ok that night”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2012

As a straight local I had heard that this place was mostly a gay/ lesbian club but having been in a couple of times thought it was ok with my kind. Stopped in late on a sat night with a group of 10+ straight folks and we never gave the issue a second thought. Good time, jazz band was rocking.... More

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 November 2011

We visited Tressa's on a Friday night because it was recommended for music. There were just a few things that were a little weird for us: - Signing in before you can enter? - There is only 1 local beer on the menu, I expected more from a local Asheville bar Othere than that, everyone was nice.

“Identity Crisis???”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2011

Tressa's has various reviews and descriptions online. We could not fault the facility or product but describe with caution our experience below. The venue is called a club inside and so you are asked to sign in. It is deep and moderately wide. It is attractive, clean and well stocked. There are numerous tables and additional chairs along the wall.... More
