Thank You Bartenders & Staff

...a night off and a night out for the fantastic staff at the Vault (who all survived Bele Chere). Thank you for working so hard to make it a great place.

Chef Mo (Chef in Motion) served up a delicious meal.


What a great night.

Bele Cher is winding down

The 2009 version of Bele Chere has been a fun weekend downtown, but is now winding down. Sunday afternoon still offers the funnel cakes (yes I am going to have another one!) and meat on a stick, but the street are beer free. And that means that the whole scene is just a little bit more controlled and a little less hectic!

Downtown was crazy the last two days, especially Saturday night. There were at least a few arrest made, with one person literally being carried down the Rankin Avenue last night by four uniformed cops! But the crowd at the Vault had a great time both nights and there were no real problems here.

Sunday night of course means Vinyl at the Vault, with Chris Ballard on the turntables. We expect to see several of our regulars and a few less tourists as we get back to our normal routine. Of course, just to keep you on your toes, we will not really be in our normal routine for a couple more days. We will be closed on Monday, July 27 for our employee party and be back for regular hours on Tuesday.

Bele Chere this weekend!

Asheville's annual street fair kicks off this Friday.  We will be selling PBR cans to go for only two bucks and having other drink specials all weekend long.  Also, Dylan is serving up a great special sandwich - a chicken salad melt sub!

We expect the Vault to be super busy both Friday and Saturday nights but are not sure what the afternoons will be like.  Last year was our first Bele Chere and not many people even knew we were open.  That certainly isn't the case this year, so it might be hoppin' all weekend long!

Remember that parking will be a hassle and if you are planning on having some beers on the street or cocktails at the Vault you should either get a designated driver or a cab!

One year!

They say that half of all start-up bar and restaurants fail during the first year!  Well, we are happy to say that we are still open and going strong!  

One year ago, to celebrate our grand opening, we held a fundraiser for the Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity.  This year we decided to celebrate our one year anniversary the same way.  We are happy to say that we raised over $700 for Habitat by donating 50 cents of every dollar sold on Monday, July 7!  We plan to make this an annual event and hope to raise even more money next year for a very worthy cause.

Thanks for everyone who has supported the Vault thru its first year, and especially to all those who came out for the anniversary party!
