“ Nice cocktail bar with a unique set of drinks. I didn't eat food so I can't review that. Good spot right off the highway on Haywood Rd. Waiters were friendly and helpful with recommendations for drinks. Update: I've been back a few times since I wrote my initial review. I'm consistently impressed with their cocktail selection, and the food is also excellent! I had a chicken salad melt that was just delicious, and sunch a non-traditional combination of flavors. It had pickled onions, smoked Gouda and chili crunch on a nice soft ciabatta roll! Side salad was also nice with greens and radicchio. ”

“ The Golden Pineapple has quickly become one of our favorite establishments in Asheville. The bartenders are always friendly and welcoming. The playlist is always awesome. There are many alcoholic and non alcoholic drink options. You will find all kinds of unique cocktails at The Golden Pineapple. My personal favorites are the frozen drinks: The Baja Blast and The Guava Colada, but they have literally every kind of alcohol you could imagine and the bartenders truly enjoy their craft. We also LOVE The Bodega Sandwiches (add hashbrowns). I am from NJ and always on the hunt for a delicious pork roll, egg, and cheese sandwich and The Golden Pineapple consistently understands that assignment. It’s our go to dinner spot on weekends and we truly always look forward to it. ”

“ I've been twice now, and both times had great cocktails and food! The titular Golden Pineapple cocktail is a favorite, scratching the tropical itch. The food exceeded my expectations - so far have loved the chicken salad melt and double down, both being a bit indulgent but nailing an elevated presentation and balanced flavors. Glad to be just a short walk away! ”

“ I’ve been going here for years. It’s just hands down amazing. Cocktail artists with true talent, creative drinks, delicious food. Wings are second to none and portions are damn good. Don’t wait...go tonight! ”

“ I have not had any of their food yet, but their drinks are excellent. The cocktails are unique and very good. I ended up trying one of their smoothies the other day and it was out of this world. I highly recommend any of their cocktails ”

“ If you are in the Asheville area, go to The Golden Pineapple!! We LOVE our experiences at the Golden Pineapple! It was our first time there, we've heard a little about it. The drink menu is very fun and has something for everyone. Non alcoholic and alcoholic options. We both had the Bodega sandwich and it was one of the best sandwiches we both have ever had! Everything about the sandwich was incredible and the side salad was so delicious! The atmosphere was nothing short of pleasant. Fantastic place. We will definitely be coming back. P and J Update: We come here often. As much as possible. At least once a month. We truly can not get enough of Golden Pineapple. Ask for Marty. Get the bodega sandwich, add hash. Try the drinks. They are all so good! ”

“ It’s miracle time at the Golden pineapple! We are here with some frequency as I host a weekly radio show down the street on 103.3 FM. The cocktails are usually creative and well balanced, but when Christmas rolls around and they are part of the miracle pop-up, it’s another level entirely! Fun but kitschy decorations, Santa hats on every seat, a wide variety of mugs for a wide variety of creative cocktails, including Stegosaurus mugs and unicorn mugs and Santa pants, all festooned with fun garnishes, such as a peppermint umbrella or mint with powdered sugar on it to look like snow. The pop-up Christmas drinks are a little sweeter than their normal offerings, but you can certainly find a few tart or dry, such as the old-fashioned, which is on the much drier side. This is great fun every year. And the photos you will see posted with this review include this year, and then you’ll also see me sipping from a Krampus mug, which was last year. Sadly, there are no Krampus mugs this year. Hopefully the miracle pop up people will understand the importance of adding Krampus into future pop-ups. I’ll be looking for Krampus next year. In the meantime, I’m enjoying some of this year’s offerings, including a new favorite... a drink with an actual snowball in it. I asked the bartender about them and yes, they are all made in house. And shaped there. It was the most fun old-fashioned I have ever had. Pro tips: 1. it gets fairly busy later in the week, so try to come out potentially on a Sunday. Also, please note the days they are closed. 2. Soak up all that alcohol with something from their food menu. I really love their wings, but keep in mind that the spiced wings have the peppercorn that makes your mouth tingle. Which I actually really love. We will be back a few times this season while the miracle lasts! ”

“ If you are visiting, take the time to get to West Asheville and if you are looking for a place to relax while enjoying a delicious drink, this place invites you with a range of creative offerings and you will likely try something new and love it. I had the Are you my Morton, bursting with citrus from in house lemon curd paired with ginger, amaro and a blend of Irish and Japanese whiskies. I also tried the Airing of the Grievances, which included a spirit I didn’t even know existed, a type of Mexican rum, coconut, carrot and dry curacao. Sunday is pizza night, Monday they do smash burgers. They can make you anything you’re thinking of but you’ll likely find a choice on their menu. Venture over to West Asheville, check out spots like Harvest Records and then enjoy your time here. ”
