The garden is open.
Most people know Haiku as a destination wedding venue. Now we’re opening the gates for locals with midweek bar nights, monthly classes, private garden reservations, and community events.
Whether you’re looking for a quiet place to meet friends, book a food truck night, take a class, or reserve a corner of the garden for your group, this is where to start.
WEEKLY AT HAIKU
Wednesdays & Thursdays | 4–10 PM
Midweek, but better.
Food trucks, cocktails, and easy evenings in the garden. Some nights lean social, some stay low-key — you’ll find your pace.
Classic Smokes is in the garden every Thursday, offering a dedicated spot for those who enjoy a good cigar.
Bring friends or come solo — either way works.
👇 Visit the calendar below to see what’s happening each week and book your spot.
Food Trucks at Haiku Bar Nights
Haiku Bar Nights happen every Wednesday and Thursday from 4–10 PM, and we welcome food trucks to join the fun. Trucks may reserve one vendor spot per night, either Wednesday or Thursday.
Vendors arrive by 3 PM for setup, with service during bar hours.
To book a night, check the - Food Truck Calendar to reserve your date.
Food trucks must meet City of Asheville and Buncombe County mobile food unit requirements, including permits, licensing, and insurance. Full details can be found here.
Come feed the garden crowd.
