Tipping Point Tavern

If you are looking for a trendy watering hole with typical pub grub, this may be the place. 5 TVs, full bar, music not too loud, comfy bar stools.

I went on a Monday at 6PM. There was no room at the long bar, so I took a seat at a tall table. I didn't order food since no one else was eating. I ordered a flight of the three Tipping Point brews plus another WNC stout. None of the beers were very impressive. The bitter was very bitter and the after taste lasted forever, the IPA was an assault to your taste buds, the Heff was as fruity as punch. The stout from another brewery was not bad.

I may take my wife here sometime and try the food and wine, but I will go  to Headwaters Brewery for my beer.

I stopped in because they have recently started brewing their own beer onsite, making it a brewpub. They have one rapidly-changing house beer now but they expect to eventually maintain 4-5 regulars. They also have a good selection of other beers including several NC products. Food is typical pub-style fare of excellent quality and the atmosphere is that of a classic neighborhood pub.It's a worthwhile stop when in Waynesville.

We only stopped in here for one beer while visiting Waynesville, but we had a great time. The service at the bar was fantastic and we found lots of nice people to talk to while we enjoyed a house-made brew. If I lived in the area, I would definitely stop in often and become a regular. We wanted to come back and try out the menu the next night, but they were closed for a private party. It's definitely a top priority for our next visit to the area.
