In the heart of Downtown Asheville’s Pack Square Park, the historic Hayes and Hopson building has served the local community for many years. The building that is currently home to the Pack’s Tavern “South Bar” was built in 1907 by a local lumber supply company and remains one of the oldest buildings in Asheville. As the economic climate in Asheville changed and demand for lumber grew, the supply company built an additional building to the north. Erected in 1912, this same building is the location for main restaurant and bar area of Pack’s Tavern.

Prior to its use for an auto parts store and a famous BBQ restaurant, the Hayes and Hopson building was an illegal liquor distribution hub that served most of Western North Carolina during the 1920s! Sadly, prohibition began on January 16, 1920. Shortly after that, a bustling and lucrative distribution center for moonshine was established in this very basement. Using the Lumber supply front, its “loading dock” on the side of the building, and a little underground tunnel across Eagle Street, business boomed. For the next 12 years, Asheville’s finest were clearly unaware of the large quantities of white lightning coming and going.

In 1932, the Democratic Party’s campaign platform included a promise to repeal Prohibition. Nine days after Franklin Roosevelt took office in January 1933, beer was legalized. Prohibition was fully repealed in December of that year with the ratification of the 21st amendment. Hence, the theme of Pack’s Tavern is 1932 – as a tribute to the beginning of the end of Prohibition. We welcome you to our family friendly home of Pack’s Tavern and hope that you enjoy your visit.
