Red Ribbon Society is worth booking for a moody downtown Asheville cocktail night, especially if the plan is drinks with light bites rather than a full dinner. The basement Flat Iron Hotel setting gives it more atmosphere than a standard hotel bar, while the food list is useful enough for grazing through a second round.
