Bear’s Smokehouse BBQ brings award-winning Kansas City style barbecue to Asheville’s South Slope brewery district. Known for slow-smoked brisket, burnt ends, pulled pork, chicken, and house-made sides, Bear’s delivers bold BBQ flavors in a lively, welcoming setting. In addition to classic smoked meats, Bear’s offers vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free friendly menu options, including Impossible™ meatloaf. All BBQ sauces and rubs are all natural, gluten free, and vegan friendly, with a portion of proceeds supporting Linked4Life, a non-profit dedicated to raising mental health awareness in the food and beverage industry.
The property features two buildings, including a full service sports bar with multiple TVs airing the games guests want to see. A spacious outdoor area makes Bear’s a popular spot for spring, summer, and fall, while outdoor heaters and fire pits provide comfortable seating during cooler months.
Guests can enjoy a wide selection of local beers, craft cocktails from their full service bar, and a relaxed atmosphere ideal for game days, group gatherings, and casual dining. Bear’s Smokehouse BBQ is open seven days a week, with online ordering, delivery, and private event options available. Email avlcatering@
