THE FOOD NEWS
THIS JUST IN: From our Good Friends at The AUX Bar!
AUX Bar Grand Opening and Full Menu Announced!
After two pop ups and a soft opening as well as over a month of hard work and renovations, co chefs Mike Moore and Steve Goff and Operations Director Dalene Moore of the Blind Pig Supper Club proudly announce the grand opening of AUX Bar- AUXillary bar and kitchen to The Blind Pig.
AUX Bar will operate as an American bar and restaurant with farm fresh, seasonally driven, and delicious offerings. This location is now the home of The Blind Pig Supper Club and Brinehaus Meat & Provisions. Bar Manager and Asheville industry professional, Jen Gordon has constructed a one of a kind bar menu featuring all of the best from our local beverage friends and NC producers including Botanist & Barrel Aged Ciders and Social House Vodka. Look for delicious custom cocktails with a fun spin, a stellar wine menu taht competes with the best of ’em, local drafts and some of your favorite imports including but not limited to a King Cobra malt liquor table service- the perfect mix of fancy and trashy (Trancy?).
In our first week at AUX Bar, we will be open for dinner and late night (as late as 2am) seven days a week. On March 5th, we plan to open our lunch service and our first brunch will be on March 10th. We plan to open the new patio bar and grill by the end of April with a menu boasting simple preparations of super fresh and local vegetables, and local meats prepared and inspired by our love for barbacue and international street food. We’ll keep the alley buzzing with pop up events, guest chefs and a monthly roating late night big screen cinema free to the public with offerings of film themed custom food and cocktails. Stay tuned to Auxbar.com, follow us on facebook @auxbarasheville and also now on instagram @AUXBARAVL.
