    I’m excited to try this new place downtown. It’s places like this that makes Asheville unique. Happy to support the LOCAL business.

    “The Local Barber and Tap”? Barbershop and bar seems like a terrible combination to me. Hair would get into everything, and you can’t move your head to take a drink while you’re getting a haircut anyway. What’s the point?

      It’s a proven model in lots of other cities. Also, Blue Ribbon on Haywood Rd. has been around for quite awhile now.

      Sort of like how at high-end spas you might get a glass of wine.
