Happy Holidays

Have your Holiday Party by the river free of booking fees! Open 7 days a week 2pm to midnight, this outdoor bar invites you to come celebrate in our space.
The Getaway River Bar has always been big in community building. The spacious outdoor area is very much dog friendly, with picnic tables, grills, and bar games, serving as the perfect spot for a casual get together with family and friends.
Surrounded by mountains, trees, and of course the French Broad river, the bar serves a great selection of cocktails and beers, and free parking too!
