Flat Creek Tavern

I believe Rural America is still alive in Flat Creek. This tavern has been around forever according to some of the locals. The Flat Creek Tavern is part of local history. Everyone who I've talked to has a story to tell about this place. Here is a quick history of the place. There was a lady who owned the place and lived upstairs. In the many years that she owned the place she never allowed women in the place because they were trouble. According to some of the stories there was never any trouble because of her rule.

I was told to stop here because it was one of the oldest bars in the area. When I did  stop I was amazed at what I found. There are old neon signs. old Coca-Cola signs, a vintage Jamison cooler with the original door and hardware. that is still in use. If you take time to notice on the wall behind the bar is a black and white photo of the past owner. I was in awe.

Today the Flat Creek Tavern is owned by a local woman. When she heard the place was for sale, she didn't want anything to happen to it because she had memories of the place herself. She is a very proud owner. So if your on Future 26 west out of Asheville, look for the Flat Creek exit, turn left and and follow the road around to The Flat Creek Tavern. Its part of history in Rural America.
