It was our first time visiting the establishment and it was very clean, friendly bartenders and well served cocktails.

What a great bar to just hang out and people watch or say hi and strike up a conversation. The bartenders here are all super sweet and friendly. We are so glad we were told about this spot from another bar in town. Known as the oldest Gay bar in town, this place still serves up a great drink and plays some good music. We stopped by the back bar on a Saturday, they had a theme party with a $10 cover charge, the old sourpuss collecting the money sure needed some sugar. He sure wasn't getting any sugar for quite some time it seems, but he managed to still be there and like a good old watch dog,and kept an eye out for anyone trying get in without paying. We got to dance and meet a few fabulous drag performers too. The crowd is a good mix and we enjoyed seeing everyone having a good time. Thank you for making us feel welcomed. Hugs from Phoenix.

What a nice place! Cap made us feel so welcome. Great service, good time! Trivia was fun, such a friendly crowd

Redcat900. Been back to Asheville again with friends, and back to O'henrys. I Just love the low key dive, and the Bartenders are awesome. I had a great weekend, 4/22/23. I was a bit sad that they didn't have leather night but it was great anyway. Cool atmosphere and everyone was super friendly, that's why I keep coming back to Asheville and to O'henrys. Thank you for making me feel welcomed. NOTE: I would like to request that you guys have a Leather/Fetish night around once a month, don't matter which night, Fridays or Saturdays.

Tommy D was absolutely wonderful!! very high energy and the intros we're all that and a bag of chips (like the cool ranch Doritos) amazing, splendid, sexy and oh-so-fun. Also Cappuccino is beauty and grace and is absolutely amazing and very accommodating and knows the exact drinks to make for my friends and I. AND I CANNOT FORGET JEFF!! always amazing and makes me drinks based off of the look on my face when I walk in. 10/10 would recommend A++ review from a regular who comes SPECIFICALLY FOR TOMMY D, CAPPUCCINO AND JEFF!!!

I walked-in to O.Henry's for the first time one afternoon in late August around 4-5 PM. It was early and the crowd was still small, but oh my goodness, the bartender came up for it, big time! Unfortunately, I do not recall his name but he was a very handsome and fit guy wearing very revealing, short shorts and no shirt! If he had been on a stage near a pole, he would have been collecting plenty of singles! Plus, he was very welcoming, engaging and friendly. If I lived closer I'd be there whenever I knew he was working, and I'll certainly be back when I return to Asheville. Finally, the bar was nice, and other patrons were friendly. Two thumbs-up for O.Henry's!

Stopped by to check out Asheville's oldest gay bar. Unfortunately COVID only allows the patio to be open. The bartender was extremely nice and they had a Sunday drink special which was great. I would definitely stop back in the future when the inside is open

This is my first time here and I found it to be amazing. Very friendly staff. Great drinks and friendly customers. We are all watching Jimmy Fallon in Puerto Rico. God Bless that men. Anywho...they have a game room and pool tables. Ask for Jack!
