About this place DayTrip

DayTrip is a gay-owned bar in North Asheville that has quickly become one of the city's newer LGBTQ+ anchors. It first opened in August 2024 but was destroyed just weeks later when Hurricane Helene sent roughly 23 feet of floodwater through the area; a community fundraising effort helped the owners rebuild, and DayTrip reopened in May 2025 in the former Archetype Brewing space on Broadway. The reopened bar pairs a relaxed, welcoming vibe with a full bar and a calendar of queer-friendly events, and its comeback after the flood turned it into a small symbol of Asheville's LGBTQ+ resilience. It sits a short walk north of the downtown core near the Lexington Avenue corridor.

My favorite bar! Wonderful owners, amazing bartenders & staff, & super cool vibe! The decor is fabulous & the drinks are delicious! The outside patio is great year round & there are so many fun & comfortable places to sit inside. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤 I love how welcoming & safe it feels (& really is). Plus the unisex bathrooms are truly open to all genders (there are signs - one has an urinal + 2 stalls while the other one just has 3 stalls).

I came for karaoke put my name down… And watch the same people get called over and over before me for like an hour which is very strange and they announced that it was a promotion for a theater Guild or whatever and the drinks are ok and the vibe is really cool...but dont go for karaoke if you dont know the DJ because they only pick and choose who they know despite the sign up...AND they dont end karaoke when they say they will....its very much clique...i had to go up and remind them i put my name down.
