Carmel's Restaurant Bar At The Grove Arcade

Well-maintained and cared for, the Grove Arcade is a stunning testament to a bygone era's idea of a unified shopping experience. Take some time to learn about the building's history before your visit; it will give you a deeper appreciation for the journey it has undergone to reach its current state. While many of the shops may be a bit pricey for our budget, they certainly complement the building’s elegant style. Overall, it's a fascinating piece of history that is well worth a visit, if only to stroll through and admire.

This is a lovely historic building featuring unique artisan shops. Unfortunately, many of them were closed on Sunday, and there were several empty storefronts. However, those that were open offered a delightful selection of eclectic jewelry, pottery, original artwork, and my favorite—a handcrafted hat shop. It was a pleasure to stroll from shop to shop while being sheltered from the weather. I hope to see this location fully occupied one day.

This is a fantastic venue with AMAZING ARCHITECTURE! While the shops weren't really to my taste, I thoroughly enjoyed spending an hour admiring the intricate details of the interior design. The entire place was spotless and impeccably maintained.

Interesting architecture. Chilled here for a bit waiting to visit Asheville pinball museum

Don?t let the name confuse you, this is not an arcade. There were many shops and boutiques. Just to describe a few: finger food and drinks, female clothing, art, rocks, fine jewelry, and a few others. I really enjoyed walking through with my fiancé but Iwould have appreciated just one ?guy store?. I truly did like walking through and enjoying being out of the heat with a niceambiance. The building has many access points from all sides and is not overwhelming.
