The local’s version of Asheville — deals, picks and when-to-go, for the days you’re here.
Ask Ashe tells you what’s on. The Pass tells you where locals actually go, what it costs with the pass in your hand, and when to show up so you’re not in a line. Pick the days you’re here; the clock starts when you pay.
What’s inside
Show-your-pass deals
Real discounts at bars, breweries, coffee shops and restaurants around town. Open the pass on your phone, show the screen, done.
Ashe’s picks, every day
Three things worth your evening — tonight and this weekend — with a sentence on why, not a wall of listings.
When to go
Biltmore, the Parkway, South Slope, the River Arts District, downtown parking: what time to show up and what to skip, by day and hour.
Book-ahead alerts
The shows, tables and tours that sell out, flagged before they do.
Local hangouts
Where people who live here actually go — the porch bars, the late-night kitchens, the quiet trails ten minutes from downtown.

Questions
When does the pass start?
The moment you pay. A 3-day pass bought Friday at 4pm runs through Monday at 4pm. Buy it when you’re ready to use it.
Do I need an app or an account?
No. You get a private link. Open it on your phone, add it to your home screen if you like, and show the screen for deals.
Can I share it?
The link is yours. Showing it to the people you’re out with is fine — one pass covers one party at a table.
What if a deal doesn’t work?
Email hello@thingstodoavl.com from the bar and we’ll sort it out, including a refund if it comes to that.
Is this the same as the Thursday Weekender?
The Weekender is free and stays free — it’s the weekly email. The Pass is the deals, the daily picks and the when-to-go knowledge.
Own a bar, restaurant or shop? Put a deal on the Pass — free to list.
Ashe’s Pass is sold by Allostasis Media LLC (the people behind Ask Ashe). Deals are honored by each partner business under the terms shown in the pass; if one doesn’t work, email us from the bar and we’ll make it right. Terms and refunds — 7 days, no questions.
