Restaurant Scams in Asheville

Bar Tab Inflation in South Slope Bars

Bars along the South Slope—particularly on Coxe Avenue and near the intersection of Hilliard Avenue and Asheland Avenue—have been reported by visitors for adding unrequested rounds, charging for drinks ordered by others at the same tab, or running cards multiple times. The problem is most acute during peak weekend nights when staff are overwhelmed and customers are less attentive to itemized charges.
