Saturday Afternoon

All this cuddling is sure to make you hungry again. We’ve got two great suggestions for you:

Rocky’s Hot Chicken Shack: Located right across the street, find Asheville’s favorite fried chicken shack! Voted WNC’s best friend chicken four years in a row, we recommend you dive deep into some southern comfort favorites.

12 Bones Brewery: Just a 2 minute drive away, check out the new 12 Bones Brewery! Get some killer BBQ eats and then wash it down with their creative handcrafted pints or try their homemade root beer. We are massive fans of their root beer.

Wrap up this epic day with some bonding at Lake Julian Park. Whether you want to go fishing, take out a paddleboat or toss some horseshoes, this is a perfect way to wind down and chill with your best bud. If you adopted a pup, be sure to check out the walking trails.
