Wine & Roses, a romantic, intimate parlour bar, has debuted at celebrated new hotel, Zelda Dearest (150 South Lexington Avenue, Asheville, NC), a Hatteras Sky property and part of the Lark Hotels portfolio.
With a curated beer and wine selection, craft cocktails, and air of sophistication, Wine & Roses offers a peek into the captivating personality of the hotel’s namesake, Zelda Fitzgerald.
Designed by Hatteras Sky and with interiors by Nashville-based firm, Anderson Design Studio, Wine & Roses is tucked within a thoughtfully restored turn-of-the-century mansion in Asheville’s South Slope neighborhood. Wine & Roses is inspired by the clandestine meetings that first ignited their whirlwind courtship, leaving Zelda wistfully nostalgic and furiously imaginative in her writing and artistry. The space exudes warmth with golden hues, dim lighting, and lush velvet accents. Always topped with fresh roses, the eight-seat bar at Wine & Roses sits under glimmering chandeliers and overlooks a portrait of Zelda herself. Additional seating for up to 21 guests is spread throughout the bar area. A dreamy outdoor patio boasts two roaring fire pits and 24 additional seats for those who choose to indulge al fresco.
Wine & Roses serves craft cocktails like The Sayre (Monkey 47, lemon, orange blossom, egg white, and orange bitters), The Fitz (Four Roses, demerara simple syrup, angostura bitters, orange, and luxardo cherry), and the Gilded Girl (Casamigos Reposado, orange curacao, apricot juice, and lime juice), and a curated selection of local beers and wines by the glass. A small menu of decadent bites will debut later this summer.
Wine & Roses is open to guests Sunday through Thursday from 4pm to 8pm, and to the public Friday and Saturday nights from 4pm to 10pm.
